DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL.
Such Was tho Verdict OF Coroner's Jury
In the Supposed Mysterious Dea tn.

Such W as thc Nerdtct or COrOner'S jury
in the Supposed Mysterious Dea tn.
Coroner Kelley went to Olyphant yes
terday to hold an inquest on the re-
mains of the man found dead In the
sump OF the Mooslc Mountain Coal
company's shaft at Marshwood. The
mans name was Friend Bush, his age
somewhere about 30 years. and his
parents home is in Binghamton. The
coroner went to Sweeney's undertaking
establishment in Olyphant and empan-
eled the following jury: John c. Evans,
William Adair, Thomas Patton. II. b.
Mathewson. r. p. Jones and NJ. j.
Lavan. After viewing the body the
coroner and jury went to the shaft
where Bush was killed.
There was something peculiar ABOUT
the mans death. He worked as foot
man, and the day of his death man
who was working thirty feet from the
foot of the shaft heard Bush call for
help. The cries seemed to come from
the sump of the shaft and at the time
the left carriage was down. Search
was made. in the right sump, which Is
six feet deep and half filed with water.
Nothing was found in the right sump.
The engineer was Immediately signaled
and the left carriage was raised to the
top of the shaft. This brought the
right carriage down. The left sump
was searched and nothing found. Once
more the other sump was examined
and after the carriage was hoisted up a
few feet Bush's dead body was found
in the water
Coroner Kelley held an autopsy and
the examination revealed the fact that
the man was crushed to death. The
abdominal cavity was caught under a
corner of the mine carriage and the
bowels were crushed. There was no
evidence that death was due to foul
play and verdict of accidental death
was rendered.
The remains We're inferred in the
Union cemetery at Olyphant yesterday
afternoon. Rev. George Ball, of the
Primitive Methodist church, of Oily
