MINER is FOUND
DEAD IN CHUTE

A post mortem examination was
held yesterday by DR.. T. 3. Curran,
county physician, over the body OF
John Bust, an Austrian, who was
found dead in chute No. IL Of the
Gale Creek coal mine on Thursday
last. The examination revealed the
fact that the left lung was free from
air and very black The right lung
was half filled with air and was also
black. This condition showed that
death was due To suffocation.
John Stewart, the mine foreman,
who found the body, said that he
went into chute No. IL about
o'clock Thursday afternoon and saw
Bust lying down with his coat under
him. Stewart thought him asleep, but
on giving mis- leg quick jerk TO
awaken him, was Mortified TO find The
man dead. He then called to some
other miners and with their help the
body was brought to the surface.
The chute had been fired about an
hour before and it Is thought that
Bust entered 1t too soon after the
discharge. He had evidently tried
to drive out the smoke, as miners
sometimes do, and had been over
come by the fumes. Deputy Coroner
Mellinger. who made an examination
OF the chute, concluded that the
man had died from suffocation.

claw, of which the deceased was a
member, will take charge of the fu-
