ONE MORE ACCIDENT
James Robb Burned to a Crisp in a
Shaft Rouse Fire.
AT WHIP-POOR-WILL MINE
He Went to Sleep and His Candle
Fell Into a Pile of Dry Bark and
Ignited the Structure A
Well-Known Young Man.

Missoula, April ia special to the
Standard from Stevensville says: The
shaft house at the Whip Poor VIII
mine burned at 2 o'clock this morning.
James Robb, who was in the house at
the time, was burned to a crisp. The
damage to the mine is slight and no
one except Robb was injured. Three
shifts are now working in the mine and
Robb was working on the third shift.
A man named Tillman was filling the
bucket below and sent word to Robb
at little after / O'Clock that he would
not need him for a while. Robb then
went to a small shack near the shaft
that was used by the men for a dress
ing room and other purposes. There he
lay on a bench, sticking his candle into
a log in the wall above his head. He
went to sleep and II is thought that
the candle burned down and fell
through the stick into a pile of bark
that was used to kindle fires. The
bark was dry and would burn freely.
Near the bark pile was an oil can that
contained two gallons of coal oil. This
was probably ignited and spread the
fire all over the house When Tillman
rang the signal bell at o'clock he re-
ceived no answer and looking up the
shaft saw that the bucket was blazing.
SumDlnB 10 the SURFACE ne ola all ne
could 10 extinguish the flames. but
Robb was already burned to a crisp
Amos Buck, one of the owners of the
Whip Poor viii, went to the mine to-
day as soon as the accident was known.
He states that the mine is not dam
aged beyond the loss of the house
James Robb, the victim OF the accident,
was well known in Stevensville and
Victor. He was Is years old and his
family lives near here.
The blaze was seen by men at the Cur
lew mine, across the gulch, and the fore
man and some of the miners FASTENED
to the scene, but could render no aid,
as there was no water. When they look
ed into the buring building they could
not see Robb's body, and II was thought
that he had escaped until the walls fell
in. when his charred remains were seen
in the corner opposite the bench, where
he is supposed to have been asleep. 1t is
thought that he was awakened by the
explosion of the oil can and made a des-
perate effort TO escape, but succumbed
to the heat and smoke before he could
get out of the building. The legs and
head OF the corpse are almost entirely
consumed by fire. and the trunk is a
charred mass.
