FELL DOWN A SHAFT.
Barney Coyle Seriously Injured in the
Bell Mine.

Barney CoyIe. a well known young
miner, fell down the shaft of the Bell
mine last evening at $3.50 o'clock and
was so seriously injured that it is
problematical whether or not he can
recover.
Coyle was employed in the Bell and
worked as the partner Of VIII Delaney.
Thelr work was to convey timbers from
the Bell shaft through to the damon
mine. When 1t came quitting time last
evening Delaney left the 40-foot level
Where they were at work at that time,
and started up the pump shaft to the
surface to turn in his time, expecting
his partner to follow him, but for some
reason Coyle was delayed and did NOT
start Immediately. After turning in
his time at the timekeeper's office. De-
Ianey missed his partner and started
BACK to the mine. On the way he met
Foreman McGinnis, who inquired who
had fallen down IN shaft. DELANEY
had heard of no one falling, and re-
piled TO that effect, but it struck him
at once that, his partner having failed
to come up, it might be he, and he
went at once to see. He descended to
the 40 and there found the fnanimate
form OF Coyle lying on top of a car at
the station.
The pump shaft only goes down 40
rect and stops at that level. To get
tnem out or the way, several cars had
been run in on the station and left. and
II was on top of one of these that Coyle
lay. 1t is not known exactly how the
accident occurred, as no one appears to
have seen Coyle fall, and he has not
been able to talk since, but IL is sun
posed he started to follow Delaney nm
the ladder of the pump shaft and
slipped n fell, as there appears no
other way for the accident to have hap
pened. When the injured man was
ne was unconscious and was OBJ
Vlously terribly injured. The cage was
once run down to the 40 and he was
brought to the surface.
A physician was Immediately sum-
moned from st. James hospital, who
found Coyle suffering greatly from
shock, and there was a hole in the ton
OF the head which, when examined. dis
closed a grave fracture of the skull. an
parently indicating that in falling Coyle
had gone read first and struck ON The
edge of the car. A imulan was
and the Injured man sent
% st. James hospital in the ambu-
ance, where 1t was found that in addi-
Ion TO the fractured skull the back and
EFT leg mad been very badly bruised.
.oyle suffered intensely while his in
uries were being dressed and was So
ow that Father Callahan was sum
noned TO administer absolution. The
surgeons stated his condition
vas exceedingly critical.
Coyle is about 26 years old and nm
married. He has two brothers and two
listers living in Butte.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.
The Matter Again Discussed by the schoo,
Trustees.


At a meeting of the board Of school
trustees last evening the question OF
a new school building was again dis
cussed. Mr.. Burke, chairman of the
building committee, reported that sew
eral tracts of ground had been offered
the board for a site in the Trayona adj
clifton, but the prices asked were con-
sldered too high by the board and The
clerk was instructed to advertise for
lenders Of ground anywhere between
iron street on the south and Porphyrv
on the north, and Montana on the east
ana Xxi on the west. Mr.. Burke
also reported that the committee was
unable TO secure any kind of a site in
the northeastern part of the city. The
only vacant ground in tina art of the
town is owned by W. A. Clark and he
refuses TO sell TO the district. The prop
osltlon or building another wing to the
washington building was favorably dis
cussed and the matter was referred TO
the building committee. Clerk Richards
reported that the annex to the Parrot
school which had been used last year
a been turned into a saloon by the
owner n was therefore not available
Tor school purposes this year. The clerk
was instructed TO rent another building
from Frank Boucher for $50 a month

Traffic Over the Logan Branch Has Been
Suspended.

Two bridges, No. 60 and No. 80, on
the Northern Pacific. beyond Home
stake. were burned yesterday afternoon
and traffic over the Logan branch will
be suspended for some DAYS. 1t will
not, however, interrupt either freight or
passenger traffic and trains will run as
usual. but will connect with the main
line at Garrison instead of Logan until
n bridges are rebuilt. The burnt
structures were both large ones, No. 80,
hve miles east of Homestake. being 619
Feet long, n No. so, 27S feet. and it
will consequently take considerable time
10 rebuild them. The last train over
the road was the train for Pony, at $50
O'Clock yesterday morning. Several en-
gines passed over the line afterwards
and IT is presumed that they were re-
sponsible for the fire.

effective as it is, but the time has not
been opportune to do this, nor was the
money available to undertake the change
on large scale until this year. The
advent of smokeless powder has also
aided to make the change possible.
