WAS PURELY ACCIDENTAL
Investigation Into the Death of
Michael j. Lyons.
THE FOUL PLAY THEORY
Jury Visited the Place Where He Took
His Fatal Fall = There We're No
Evidences Of a Struggle
Discovered

The suspicious circumstances in con-
nection with the death of Michael ].
Lyons. who was found dead in an old
Slope of the Lexington mine last Tues
day, or the circumstances which SEEM
ed to be suspicious, in the light of the
testimony given by Foreman j. D. Vac
CHERRY of the Lexington, at the inquest
begun by Coroner Julien Wednesday
evening, We're dissipated by the inves-
tigation made yesterday by the coroner
and members of the jury who We're en-
panelled to inquire into the cause, and
whereas there appeared strong reasons
for suspecting foul play in connection
with the death of the unfortunate min
er, there now seems to be no doubt
that his death was purely accidental,
as at first supposed,
Coroner Julien and the jury visited
the scene of Lyons death yesterday
and made a thorough examination of
the ground. When they finished they
did not agree with the view taken at
the former session of the inquest by
Foreman Vacchierry, that Lyons could
not have gotten where he was found
that from the top of the embankment
from which he fell to where the body
was found there is steep decline
down which a body could very natur-
ally slide or roll to the opening into
the old stope. and while it did not seem
an easy matter for the body to have
shot down from the embankment and
land in the barrel where it was found
it was easily conceivable that the man
dazed. might have crawled into the
stope. Then, too. the most suspicious
circumstance of all was disposed of: 1t
was the statement of Foreman Vac
cherry that he could not find the mans
hat anywhere about the scene. The hat
was found in the stope by one of the
jurymen. There was no evidence any
where about the place Of a struggle,
nor any signs of a body having been
dragged.
After the examination was completed.
the inquest was resumed, and several
more witnesses We're examined Among
them was Dennis Murphy. the relative
who left the Lyons home with him on
the night he met his death. He testified
he called at Lyons house Monday even
ing and found him preparing to go up
to the residence of the Sheas after his
wife. When Lyons was ready they
went out, and Murphy walked a short
way with Lyons and left him.
Timothy Shea testified that he was
accustomed to travel over the road Ly-
ons took on the night of his death, and
said he had on smoky or dark nights
gone out of his way and fetched up
along the fence near to where Lyons
got his fall. E-a
The evidence of the other witnesses
examined threw no light on the in
quiry, and there appearing to be no
doubt Lyons met his death by accident,
the jury rendered verdict to that eff

TWO MINING ACCIDENTS
Greider Had a Miraculous Escape
From Death.
HE FELL DOWN A CHUTE
His Injuries Are Not OF q Permanent
Character - Shot Down 80 Feet
Like an Arrow-Bgando
Loses Some Flesh.

Two mining accidents in which min
ers received severe injuries We're re-
ported yesterday. In one of them Wal
ter Greider, a miner employed at the
Parrot mine, had miraculous escape
from death. He fell 60 feet down a
chute, yet his injuries are not of a
character that will give him any per-
manent Inconvenience.
Greider and his partners, w. r. Will
Jams, were at work on the 500 level
timbering. Greider asked Williams for
a saw, and the latter reached it over
to him. A five by 10 timber lay across
the chute at which they were work.
ing, and Greider stepped out on it to
get the saw. AS his weight rested on
the timber it broke in the middle and
he shot downward like an arrow. In
some manner his descent was arrested
at the fifth floor of the 900, and he was
found there, unconscious and in
sorry plight. He was removed to the
surface and sent to the Sisters his
pital. Greiders worst injuries consist
of a broken collar bone and several
severe scalp wounds. but his face was
almost completely skinned, and for
this reason he is a shocking sight. His
and are far less serious than might be
expected when his terrible fall is ia
ken into consideration.
Greider is another who can thank
the good genii of the mines for de-
liverance from death. Had he fallen
head first instead of going feet down
ward, as he did, there is scarcely a
Feasibility that he could have escaped
being killed.
In the second accident reported John
Bigando, miner at the Bell, sus-
sajned a very peculiar injury BIZ
gando was running a machine drill on
one of the floors off the 1000 level when
the floor supporting the drill broke and
the drill tipped over on him nfsuch
a way that a piece of flesh half as
large as ones fist was scooped out of
the feshy portion of his right leg. BIZ
gando was taken to the Sisters hos
pital for treatment.
He suffers considerably, as the ma
ture of his injuries renders his wound
very painful
