ITS STILL A MYSTERY
The Accident by Which Richard
H. Thomas Lost His Life.
EVIDENCE is CONFUSING
Angove, Who Was Working With
Thomas, Unable or Unwilling to Tell
Just How the Calamity Hap
pened-The Jury's Verdict.

1t probably never will be known just
what produced the accident in which
Richard H. Thomas lost his life by
falling down the shaft of the Leonard
mine Monday afternoon. Coroner Jul
lien and a jury endeavored to ascer-
tain at an inquest held at Richards
undertaking rooms last evening, but
only partially succeeded, as most of the
mass of testimony taken from long
list of witnesses, was in the nature of
opinions, which conflicted on numerous
essential points, and when the inquest
was over no one was satisfied that he
fully understood the cause of the ac-
cident John Angove saw it all, but
he was evidently so greatly excited
that he could not remember, or there
was something that did not come out,
for he did not with any degree of GER
tainty relate the starting point of the
accident. AS near as could be ascer
tanned Thomas and Angove were work
ing seven sets above the 500 level in the
pump shaft, putting in stays to stay
column of pipe just put down. Some
thing caused Thomas to fall two or
three sets to a platform, where he
lodged, his feet protruding through
an opening in the lining into the work
ing shaft. The cage came up, caught
his feet, dragged him into the working
shaft, where he was crushed between
the cage and the wall plates, severing
an arm and leg, and the cage passing
on let him fall away to the stump.
What caused Thomas to fall in the
first place was what was not made
clear. Angove saw something fall
down the shaft, which struck him on
the hat and one hand, and then struck
Thomas, who was a set below. on the
head, stunning him and causing him
to fall to the platform, whence he was
dragged into the hosting shaft. but
it was shown this could hardly have
been true, and AngoVe admitted, on
being called a second time to the stand,
that he might have been mistaken. If
this did not happen and there was moth
ing else that did, the opinion of either
Foreman Davis or Deputy Mine In
spector Hunter was probably correct
That of Mr.. Davis was that Thomas

COVE, who was working with Thomas
and who If he had had presence of
mind enough to have rung stop bell,
or even rung a danger signal to the
engineer, or if he had told the man
at the 500 to do so, instead of telling
him to flash a danger signal to the
station tender, the accident would have
been avoided. Mr.. Hunter accounted
for Thomas leg and arm being cut off
by his being crushed into a space of
six inches between the cage and the
wall plates. He thought the accident
occurred as described by Angove except
as to something falling down the shaft
and striking him on the head. This
he thought Angove was mistaken
about. The pump shaft was in good
condition and all necessary precautions
We're taken by the company to avoid
accidents.
The jury returned this verdict:
That the deceased came to his death

county. Montana, on the Gath day of
April, 1899, by falling down the shaft
of the Leonard mine. as the result of
an unknown mishap, the exact facts in

BAD MAN FROM ITALY.
He Shoots a Man and His Wife and Is
Later Killed Himself.

Kansas City, Mo-. April 25.-A special
to the Star from Ellsworth, kas., says:
An unusual tragedy, in which an Ital-
ian and his wife and a man boarder
We're actors, took place at Kanopois.
The husband and boarder are dead and
the woman is seriously wounded. No
names are given. 1t seems that the
woman recognized the boarder as an
escaped murderer, wanted in Italy for
killing man, woman and child. He
had been tracked to South America and
only recently came to Kaniopolis.
Learning that his identity had become
known, and fearing he would be given
up. he determined to kill the family.
He started in by shooting the husband
and wife. The wounds did not prove
serious and the boarder slashed the
man about the face and neck with a
razor, cutting off one ear, almost sew
ering the nose and cutting two gashes
in his throat He will die.
In escaping the boarder plunged
headlong into shaft at the salt works.
The body bounded from side to side,
splatterng the timbers with blood I'M
til it reached the bottom, 1000 feet be-
low. The head and hands were torn
from the body by the force. The re-
mains We're gathered up in sack and
brought to the top, where they were
taken in charge by the coroner.

Empress EIizabeth's Birthplace.

From the New York Herald.
There has been any amount of discus
sion In the royal families of Hapsburg
as to the real birthplace of the late en-
press of Austria. 1t has been supposed
for many years that she was born in
Possenhofen, Bavaria, and the genealogi-
cal court calendar of Gotha has confirmed
this belief. The Bavarian Reichs- Herold,
however, stated in a recent number that
careful research showed that the EN-
press Elizabeth was born in the ducal
palace in Munish on Dec. "a. 1887.
This was considered authentic by the
royal family, and, accordingly, the in
scription on the sarcophagus of the en-
press has been corrected.
