A gas explosion in the tunnels of coal mines near Jenny Lind (eleven miles southeast of Fort Smith in Sebastian County) killed thirteen coal miners. Rescuers tried to reach the miners after the explosion but were hindered by gas fumes. One hundred and twenty-five men had been working in the mine at the time of the explosion; the survivors escaped through the entrance or through another mine.
