Boggs' run mines died yesterday morn
ing at $3.50 o'clock. OF Injuries he re-
ceiyed in the mine several hours previ-
Gus. The dead man Is William Leith.

about half a mile from the entrance.
Monday night. About II o'clock large
piece OF soapstoge became dlslcIged.
and in Its descent 1t pinned the elder
Lelth to the ground. where he lay In
terrible agony until the stone was re-
moved by his son. who was unable to
complete this task for over an hour,
during which time he was forced to Wit
mess his fathers sufEerlngs.
The poor man was not removed from
the mine until o'clock yesterday morn
ing, at which hour he was taken to
Hasklns' hospital. 1t was discovered
that Lelth's ribs were crushed by the
stone, and his body was horribly bruls-
ed, besides the internal injuries he re-
celved. Everything possible was done
to make him comfortable and he lin
gered until after o'clock, when he
passed away.
The deceased came to Wheeling two

RICO,
William T. Crawford, OF the Island.
who was the first Wheeling recruit in
Company NJ, First West Virginia volun-
teers, and was later appointed orderly
on General Brooke's stan, has Just re-
covered from an attack OF malarlal fe-
yer. after three weeks siege. In u
letter to his mother, he stated that he
was then In Arroyo, Porto Rico. but
was shortly 60 go to San Juan. The
letter reached Wheeling without a
stamp, as the sender was unable to Sc
cure one within range of his abode.
Private Crawford was attended by n
native doctor during his Illness. The
Porto Rlcan curlst kept the Wheeling
boy wrapped in blankets, and his apart
nents quite warm. "a white doctor"
writes Crawford, would have wrapped
me in sheet and opened the window"
Malarlal fever is hard TO conquer, and
Private Crawford witnessed the funeral
Of many soldiers who died OF the dread
disease.
