KILLED AT BLUE CANYON
T. W. McGhee'S Shocking Death al
the BunkerS
CAUGHT BY REVOLVING SHAFT
He is Stripped Naked and Hurled
Upon the Rocks Thirty
Feet Below

j. A. McGhee, bunker boss at the
bunkers at the Blue Canyon mine on
Lake Whatcom, lost his life in a shock
ing manner, while in the performance
of his duties, shortly before l o'clock
Yesterday. Owing to the rush of orders
for coal, the bunkers were only shut
down a half hour at noon yesterday,
starting up at 1890. Shortly after
starting up, Mr.. McGhee started to oil
the machinery of the bunkers. To do
this he went upon a bridge that con-
meets the bunkers with the approach.
On each side of this bridge are two
inch shafts making 200 revolutions per
minute, which receive the power of the
water wheel. Mr.. McGhee's clothing
caught on one of the shafts and he was
twisted round and round on the shaft
until entirely stripped Of clothing and
then hurled upon the rocks, thirty fee
below. His neck and both arms wer'
broken and his skull fractured. HI
was thrown fully fifty feet away from
the shaft, and when picked up wa
still alive, without thread of clothing
on his body. He was taken to his hOm
where he died soon after his arrival.
| McGhee was one of the most indus
trious and steady of the employees of tn
company, and on account of his faith
fulness was promoted to the position 9
bunker boss about month ago. ii
was about 80 years of age and leaves
wife, but no children. He was kille
within fifty feet of the spot where Pix
lost his life in November, and With
T seventy-five feet of where Suitor an
: Allison were killed over year age
Strange to say, a fatal accident ha
never occurred in the mine, where tn
risk would seem to be much create
than at this fatal vicinity. Maste
Thomas Watson was Immediately di
patched to the company's office witty
report of the accident. Coroner Wa
riner was notified and will go aut
the mine this morning.
