TWO men KILLED
IN PINNICKINNICK MINES
Duncan BonneH and Slav by the
Name of Sevre, Caught Under
Fall of Slate.

Another fatal mining accident occurred
Thursday evening in the Pinnickinnick
mines, resulting in the death of two min
crs. The accident was caused by a rib
of coal falling from the side of the mime
while the two men were ut work loading
n coal car. The men are Duncan Bon
nell. an American miner, and Slav by
the name of Sevre.
The accident happened about 1880
O'Clock Thursday evening. The men had
finished loading up the coal into the
ears. rs is the general custom. Bonncll
and the Slav were ut work loading cars.
In taking part of the coal away from
the lower part of the side wall. large
piece became loosened from towards the
tow of the wall and fell, bringing with
it a mass of slate and rock and coal.
The men were caught under the fall and
were crushed to the ground. They We're
killed almost instantly. The fall caught
Bonnell on the chest and upper part of
the body. The chest was mashed in,
and the breast bone and ribs were brok-
en- and crushed. Sevre was caught ON the
head by the coal and dirt. His head was
crushed and mangled.
The bodies We're removed by some OF
the miners who We're at work and who
heard the noise of the fall. They rush
ed to the spot and found the two men
almost entirely covered with the coal
that had fallen upon them. The bodies
We're taken to the mine entrance. The
Clifford Osborne Undertaking company
were notified of the sad affair. ANA later
the bodies were moved to the undertake
ing parlors on Main street. where they
were prepared for burial.
