A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT!
Two Employees Killed at Pilot Knob.

On last Monday morning about O'Clock
there was an accident at Pilot Knob, which
resulted in the killing of two men. The
unfortunates were VIM. Bennett, aged about
l6 years, and negro named Stephen Whit
tenberg. They lost their lives by being run
over and mangled by runaway car of iron
ore coming down Pilot Knob hill. The ore
cars that are run from the mining tunnels
to the foot of the hill, are run by means of a
cable. The loaded car going down pulls the
empty car up the hill. For some time two
cars have been coupled together and run up
and down the hill at the same time. The
cars are always stopped before they reach
the dump, hence the several men at work at
the foot of the hill loading cars pay no atten-
ton to the running of the cars.
But on Monday morning as the two loaded
cars Coupled together as they were) were
became uncoupled. The cable was holding
the second car, but the first car, after having
broken loose, dashed down the hill at a lively
rate. Whittenberg was standing at the
switch when he discovered that the first car
had broken loose and was coming at almost
tightening speed. He jumped to get out of
the way, but SO rapid was the ca travelling
that it struck him, killing him instantly.
just on the apron of the dump VIM. Bennett
was shoveling ore, when the car came
laundering through the shed and struck
him on the head and neck, leaving him
mangled corpse.
Several others at work had a very narrow
escape. 1t is reported, that just few min
utes before the accident the foreman came
spot where Bennett was killed to another |
part of the dump. Several outside of the shed |
also came near being run over by the runa-
way car. When the car went over the dump |
the ore was thrown in every direction. Two
pieces, each one weighing at least sixty
pounds, were thrown entirely across the
public road opposite the dump.
The bodies of the unfortunate men were
properly cared for. Ali work was immedi-
ately suspended. Esquire Schwaner held
an inquest. The jury returned verdict
clearing the st. Louis Ore and Steel Com
pany from all blame, claiming that it was
IN unavoidable accident.
William Bennett was the only support of
his widowed mother, while the colored man
Vas also the only support of his aged mother.
1t was just about four years ago, when Viii.
lam Rennet's father was killed in the mines
away car. The bereaved friends and reIa-
ives have the sympathy OF the entire
community.

From BelleyIew,


Ed. RsgisteT-After waiting three or four
weeks for something to transpire that would
be of interest, come again with few items.
Well, Mr.. Editor, find that when spring
comes and everybody stays at home and
works it is very difficult to get many items
of interest for paper.
Corn planting is thing of the past. Some
have their first planting plowed,
Wheat is looking very bad. Chinch- bugs
can hear great deal of grumbling, especi-
ally from the chronic ones.
Oats are looking very well. If we can
have plenty of rain we may make oats and
corn, but rain is all that will save anything.

BILE to make the work a success and credit
to this portion of the State.
Among the names of those received into
the Ironton Cleveland Club last Saturday
was that of VIM. Love. the veteran Democrat
of the county, if not OF the state. Dir. Love
is in his ninety NTH year, and has served in
two wars-that of 1912 and the Mexican war.
He is yet hale and vigorous in mind and
body, and never lets a day fit for outdoor
work 90 by without adding his share to the
tillage of the farm, He resides with his
son in law, A. j. Carly, about two miles
west of town. His name was greeted with
rounds of applause and he was unanimously
made a member by reclamation. Another
veteran Democrat Joined the week previous:
Hon. a, W Hollomau, who was welcomed with
hearty applause. He has voted the Demo-
cratic ticket for sixty years, and says he
never in all that time saw single instance
IN which he could have improved matters by
voting i'm any other way. He is now, we
think. e;ohty, fue years of age, with all bis
faculties unimpalred, and mind as clear as
when in the prime of life. 44ll honor to the
two veterans!
The Cleveland Democratic Club met at
the courthouse in Ironton, Saturday, May

saved. His loss was one OF his anchors
Thus, as usual, bur captains are very
fortunate In time of storms.
