ca UGHT IN An ORE SLIDE

G. G. Butler was killed while at
work in the Pillsbury mine shortly
after noon Thursday. He and a
partner were working in drift slice
where a blast had moved a cap al
most off the post. Butler took bar
and attempted to pry the post into
place when the cap slipped off and
the back came away with a rush,
burying Butler under several tons
of ore and sand, presume bly, killing
him instantly. Willing hands be-
gan removing the dirt at once, but
the body was not recovered until
five o'clock. Butler was an exper-
fenced miner, and it is a mystery
why he attempted to move the post
with the cap in the condition it was
in. The act invited death. A coro-
ner's> jury was summoned and after
viewing the remains and consum-
ing yesterday afternoon taking tes-
timony, returned verdict of acct
dental death and held the company

The cause of the fire is unknown
