DEATH In THE MINE !
Horrible Fate of John f. Shots ;!

On Tuesday afternoon, Mr.. John F. S
Shotts, was crushed by falling slate, in the
Star Furnace Coal Nine The slate fell
upon him while at work in his room-the
piece of slate being estimated to weigh as
much as three tons. 1t required some
time to extricate him, when he was hauled
home in cart. He was killed instantly
being horribly crushed.
Mr.. Shotts was married man, and was
in his 34th year, having been born in
August, 1850. He leaves a wife and two
children, and large number of relatives
and friends to mourn his untimely death.
His brother, David Lewis Shotts, was
killed in Star Mine less than two years
ago, by an explosion of mine "fire."
John F. S. Shotts was one of the best
of citizens, inoffensive, warm-hearted,
and of naturally sunny disposition, he
was man calculated to make hosts of
friends and no enemies. He had worked
for years at Star mines. 1t seems strange
to realize that the evening before his death
was on the streets, healthy and strong.
1t is striking illustration of the unseen
dangers constantly lowering about the Ia
borers in the mines. Poor John Shotts is
only one of many victims. No man can
say who shall be the next

what becomes of all the pins" is a
question frequently asked. We might
inquire what becomes of all the groceries
and provisions constantly being put into
D. D. Dungan's store. We do not know
the size of this store room, including the
cellar, but it is very large, and it is al
ways full, and no day passes but you will
see groceries of every kind being put into
the front room, and grain, and all other
kinds of produce, by the wagon and dray
load, going into the back room, and the
elevator is nearly all the time going into
and out of the cellar.
In order to account for what becomes
of all these goods, watch Cummins with
the delivery wagon, and the crowds of
customers going in and out of the front
door.
