A TERRIBLE
EXPERIENCE
FRANK KNOTS STRUGGLE WITH
DEATH AT THE BOTTOM
OF A SHAFT.
DEAD BODY OF HIS
PARTNER BELOW HIM.
Before the Rising Water Reached His
Head Help Arrived-1nquest
Conducted.

The inquest over the remains of Sam
uel l.. Fuller. who was killed by a fall of
ground at the Little Joe mine on the
night of October 10. was concluded by
Justice Nichols last night and the jury
returned a verdict of death by an una
voidable accident and absolNed the
mine owners from all blame or respon-
sibility.
1t developed at the inquest that Fuller
and Frank L.. Knott his working part
ner, had been instructed to use every
precaution and to put in timbers as fast
as possible. The failure to obey this in
junction resulted in Fuller's death.
Knott's experience at the bottom of
the shaft after the cave-in took place
was one which he viii probably remem-
Der the rest of his days. He was knock
&c unconscious by a rock striking him
on the head and when he recovered he
saw his candle still burning where he
had stuck it in the side of the shaft; but
before help arrived it went out and left
him in darkness. By it's last fiittering
rays he saw that a cave in had occurred
and knew that the mangled remains of
his partner was lying under the mass
of earth and rock that had fallen. He
was pinioned fast. with the exception of
one hand and could feel the watG- slow
ly rising about his body. He cried out
aloud but no one heard him.. The water
continued to rise, but before it reached
his face several men went down the
shaft and rescued him and took Fuller's
body out.
He told the coroner's jury that he and
his partner sounded the wall below the
last set of timbers and it appeared to be
solid but a good sized stream of water
afterwards softened the earth I'M
caused it to slip. They had intended to
prepare for the placing of a set of tim
bers before supper and bring them down
after their meal. At the time of the cave
in Knott was holding a drill and Fuller
was striking.
Knot said he mad worked underground
for Is years and he believed that Fuller
was also an experienced miner, although
they had only worked three shifts to-
Sether.

Life of p. e. Hall.

John Hansen, an employe of the gas
company, was arrested by officer McGil-
lie about o'clock this morning on a
charge of threatening to kill p. E. Hall,
superintendent of the company. Hansen
was first deposited at the city Jail, but
about 10 o'clock was transferred to the
county jail to be kept until the smallpox
quarantine is lifted from that institution
1t is alleged that some time yesterday
Hansen put in an appearance at the
company's works in a state of intoxica-
ton and Hall discharged him, whereupon
he told Hall if the order for his dismiss
sal was not revoked there would be a
murder and Hall would be the victim. To
this statement Hansen is alleged to have
added that he, Hall, would never see his
family again. The proposed victim of
Hansen's wrath did not like the tone Of

where the engineer and fireman were
found between the engine and tender un-
able to eXtricate themselves. With diff
Guilty they were released and sent to
Murray & Freund'S s hospital where their
injuries, We're attended to. Both had
been scalded by THE escaping steam and
were slightly cut about the heads and
arms. Their injuries, however. We're not
serious and they will be on duty again
before the expiration OF many days.
They We're reported as resting easily to-
day. The fireman had been thrown
through the window of the cab and the
engineer was caught fast almost beneath
the boiler of the engine.
Groans We're heard beneath the wreck
of the first baggage car and when Ian
terms were procured one man was dis
covered directly beneath the trucks and
another in front of them. Both We're
covered with debris but before help could
reach them both had expired. Train
hands and section men at once went to
work to remove the bodies but 1t was a
number of hours before they We're re-
leased. One man about % years of age
had his head almost severed from the
body and his right leg below the knee
was cut off. The other-a man about 2S
years of age had his lower right leg cut
off and his chest crushed in. He had un-
doubtedly lived for a few minutes after
the accident and it was his groans that
We're heard.
While the work of rescuing the bodies
was being carried on tramp approach

two men had ridden for long distance
together the brake beams. There
was another man, however, and he was
sure that he was under the trucks. How
the narrator escaped death was more
than he could tell.

r. G. Metcalf, the mail clerk, said
that when he felt the shock of the en-
gine leaving the track, he caught hold
of railing and held on with all his
strength, as he anticipated that
wreck was about to take place. He was
thrown from side to side until the car
turned over, and received a number
of minor bruises, the most serious of
which was to his ribs.
Engineer Kellam states that Just be-
fore the accident he heard two torpedoes
explode, and was in the act of applying
the air to the brakes when the engine
ran into the spur. ~
Why the engine should run into the
spur is a mystery that has not yet
been solved. The accident, although it
