looking over the banisters on the second
floor of the Treasury Building when he
was suddenly seized with an attack of
vertigo and fell down the shaft. Mr.. Lalor
alighted on his feet. Had he struck head

injured, and a call was at once sent to the
Emergency Hospital for an ambulance. At

made which showed that Mr.. Lalor had
sustained compound fracture OF the right
leg and several lacerations OF the head.

| lor was sent to a ward When the ply
! slcians at the hospital learned that the
man had fallen fifty feet they We're sur
prised that he had escaped more serious
| injury.

without family. He lives at 1416 Penn
| sylvania Avenue northwest. He is regard
ed as one of the most competent trans
| lators in the department.

Bozeman, Dec. 23.-The streets of
Bozeman the last three days of this
week have presented quite an animated
appearance. Shoppers from all over the
valley, purchasing Christmas presents
for father, mother, sisters, sweethearts
and others, filled the stores from early
morning until late at night. The mer-
chants have had a larger assortment
of goods on hand this year than usual,

WAS KILLED IN The NINE
joyce Met a Terrible Death in
the st. Lawrence.
STRUCK BY FALLING ROCK
Half Ton of Ground Fell on His Head,
Death Was Instantaneous-Had
Lived Long in
Butte.

Patrick Joyce, very well-known miner,
met a terrible and instantaneous death
IN the st. Lawrence mine Yesterday af-
ternoon. While cleaning IN at the
breast after a blast preparatory TO put
ting in another round of holes, lie was
struck by a fall of ground. He never
knew what struck him.
The accident occurred in the fifth floor
of the 1900 level Joyce and his partner,
John o'Leary, were working at the breast
on the east side. They blasted a round
of holes at dinner time and after dinner
went in to pick down. They had the
loose ground all picked down as they
supposed. and thought the place was
perfectly safe. O'Leary stood back a
short distance as Joyce stopped over to
pick up some rubbish that had accumu-
lated on the floor. While in this position
a fall of probably half a ton of rock came
from the hanging wall. 1t fell four or
five feet and heavy piece of rock struck
Joyce on the back of the head and car
ried him down to the floor AS illustrat-
ing the striking singularity of accidents
of this kind, Joyce's partner said that had
he been standing up he would never have
been killed, and possibly would not have
been badly injured. joyce could not
have been in the STOPPING position more
than an instant, and that the fall should
have come just at that instant and in a
place to catch him on the back of the
head without touching any other portion
of his body seems the very irony of fate.
O'Leary was only few feet away, and
vet was not touched.
O'Leary was shocked at the sight OF
his partner being killed before his eyes.
but quickly jumped to his assistance and
removed the rock from his head. Draw
ing the unfortunate fellow back under
the set, he held him up in his arms and
spoke to him. There was no response.
Joyce was dead. The body was at once
removed to the surface by O'Leary and
others whom he summoned and Coroner
Julien and Mine Inspector Hunter were
sent for. After their investigation the
body was taken to Shermans undertake
ing rooms, where an inquest will be held
| tomorrow.
| The deceased was about 40 years Of
age and a single man. He leaves two sis
| ters, who reside in Butte. He had lived
| a long time in Butte, and was respected
! as an industrious workman and a good
citizen.
