Explosion at Zeigler-Leiter Colliery Kills Twenty Six Miners
A gas pocket sparked by a trolley motor caused a major explosion at Joseph Leiter’s famous Zeigler colliery. Twenty six men entered the mine the night shift and twenty five were killed with eight bodies still in the mine. The lone survivor was an Italian boy. Foreman Willis Warner and Albert Kerr are among the dead. Joseph Leiter led the relief party as investigators note the mine had recently burned and fires may have sealed off further passages. Coroner Dye opened an inquest and adjourned to the next day. The mine opened in 1903 and had previous fatal blasts in 1905 with extensive labor troubles.
