 Mike Kelly, an old time miner in the employ of the Copper Queen com pany, was instantly killed on the rail road track above the smelter at 4:03 o'clock yesterday afternoon, by being run over by a carload of coke. His body was frightfuily mangled and cut in two at the hips. The stomach was ground to a pulp and his skull crush ed and brains scattered about
 Kelly was coming of the afternoon shift and took the railroad track as a short cut from the mine. As he approached the smelter and beneath the large fiues leading to the fiue dust box on the hill, he pulled his ha. brim over his eyes to ward off the fiue dust and smeiter smoke and to this cause lis attributed his death.
 ] Angel Guerra, a little Mexican boy, living in the rear Of the Catholic church. appears to be the only eye witness and being interviewed said: 1 Il was up to the shelter looking around when l noticed a miner coming down the track with his hat bTim drawn down over his eyes to protect them from the dust that was blowing about. The next thing I saw Q car coming and when it was nearly upon him. called fer him to get out Of he way. He did rot seem to hear me and the next moment the car struck him, gave a lurch and left the tracks. 1 The body of the man moved as if try ing to get up and then the car wheel caught him at the waist and cut him in two"
 l The little Mexican boy was badly frightened while he told Review re- porter his story.
 ! Mir White, one of the brakemen, upon being interviewed, said: T did not see the man killed. but was on the rear car, the one that left the track. It is impossible to see ahead very far. at that particular place on account of the tinbers and fiue pipes crossing the track. The wind and dust were blowing so hard it was nearly impos- sible to see ahead. When the car left the track 1 gave the signal to stop which was done.'
 J. H. Huber, the engineer in charge of the train. did not see the accident. but received the signal to stop which was immediately responded to.
 Immediately after the accident Judge Williams impanel.ed a jury and repaired to the scene. Undertaken Hennessy was already there and with the aid of the train crew the body was taken piecemeal from under the car and placed in the undertakers s basket The mans heart was severed from the body and found about ten feet from where the accident occur red. The skull was entirely gone and a portion of the chin was the only part of the face remaining.
 Afterwards the body was brought to the undersaker's where it was view led by the coroner's jury. In one Of i Ke!ly's pockets his watch was found and it had stopped running at 4:03 D. n. showing at what minute the accident occurred. Several receipts from the Copper Queen store were ialso taken charge of by the coroner. The jury will meet at 10 o'clock this morning and witnesses will be exam iled and a verdict rendered.
 As soon as possible Mrs. Kelly was informed of the accident that had be- fallen her husband. She was waiting at the Copper Queen store expecting that they would go home together. She immediately went to the under taking parlors but was not allowed to see the remains.
