Willmar tribune., 1899-12-20

The genial aud popular clerk of the
district court for this county, Mr.. II.
j. Ramsett, has met with misfortune
which entities him to the sympathy of
the community. The condition of his
crippled limb had become so aggra-
waited that upon the urgent advice of
physicians he has submitted to an am
putation of the leg above the knee. He
has been troubled with it more or less
every year, and the condition was such
that the prospects were that when next
illness came on an amputation would
be necessary, aud he would not then
have been able, perhaps, to survive
the ordeal. Therefore the operation
was undertaken at this time. DR.. J.
w. Mcdonald, the eminent surgeon
OF Minneapolis, and DR.. C. Johnson
OF Wlllmar performed the operation
at the St. Barnabas Hospital at Min
neapolis last Thursday afternoon. Mr..
Ramsett is doing very nicely under
the circumstances, we understand, and
has passed the danger point safely.
II all continues we'll, Henry expects to
be able to attend to the duties of his
Office at the term of court that will be
held in the latter part of next month.
The afflicted family has the deep soli-
citude OF its many friends in this

ANUNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENT
NO ONE IS TO BLAME FOR PAT
RICK FON'S DEATH.
The Rock Which Crushed In His Skull
Was Believed to BE ImmOvable.
Testimony of the Witnesses.

Coroner Julian held an inquest last
night at Duggan's undertaking rooms
into the death Of Patrick Fox, who was
accidentally killed Monday afternoon
in the Bell mine. James Maher, Bat
Giovanda, James F. Shea, miners; Dan
Griffin, shift boss; John guilty, fore
man: James Higgins. superintendent,
and Frank Hunter, deputy mine inspec-
tor, testified.
The testimony went to show that
blast had been discharged on the fourth
floor of the 1,600-foot level; that after
wards Shea was sent there to shovel
the ore and clean away: that the blast
Rad thrown large rock weighing 500
to 700 pounds across a couple of timbers
or girths, and that all the loose rock
had been shoveled away and the big
rock left there: that Fox, on the floor
below, was working with a shovel, put
ting ore into the chute two sets distant
from the point directly under the big
rock.
1t was shown by the evidence that the
rock was secure in it's Judgment and
that none of the miners thought that
it could possibly be removed without
the aid of powder. Fox was standing
on the third floor almost directly under
the rock, and Shea, who was shoveling
above, near the rock, had warned Fox
to stand back in case the rock might
fall. Shea had cleaned up and was go
ing down to the third floor to help Fox
shovel away the ore into the chute
when the crash came. The rock had
become. dislodged in some unaccount-
| able way, and falling on Fox, killed
him instantly.
The jury agreed that it was an I'M
accountable accident, and rendered its
verdict accordingly. Mr.. Fox was SO
years old and a native of Dublin, Ire
land. He will be buried under the aus
pieces of the G. A. r., of which body
he was a member.
