Swanson, a well-known miner, were
killed in the Cook shaft on Bobtail hill
Mt i:i0 this afternoon as result OF q
mysterious accident.
Swanson was n machine man and
Vaughn was his helper. They were
coming on the day shift. The cause
OF the accident may never be dis.
closed as they were the only persons
In the cage. II is believed that in
some manner Swans0ns left foot
caught between the side Of the cage
and shaft and that he was dragged
between the timbers, II is thought
that Vaughn either attempted TO
catch him or was caught by Swanson.
Both were crushed between the cage
and side OF the shaft. their bodies
falling TO the bottom Of the shaft, n
distance Of over 600 feet,
This theory IL supported by tho
fact that Swnnson's left boot was
crushed In such manner a. to indi.
cate that II had caught between tho
timbcrs and cage, and the heel was
torn on the boot. Both bodies were
horribly mnngled. the tops OF tho
