Near Cherry, Illinois, there has been one of the most disastrous explosions and fire in a coal mine that is on record. Four hundred men are believed to have perished. Some hay caught fire in the mine. Those in charge failed to use the necessary precautions, and nearly all that were in the mine fell victims to the fire and smoke. Fourteen brave men went down in "the cage" to rescue those in the mine. They rescued many, but thirteen of the rescuers perished. There is much criticism of the engineer in charge of the cage for stubbornness in its management during the emergency, resulting in the death of these thirteen men.
