Ia The main shan 10 men wrre being hoisjed

levels. When the cage reached the surface
the engineer tor some unexplained reason,
WAS unable 10 stop the engine. and the cage,
Nlth il load oi human freight, was drawn up
into the El,lIows frame, where il became
lodged temporarily.
The strain on the cable finally caused IL to
part and the cage, released, shot down the
shaft with terrific speed. Two Of the occu-
pants. L. z. Jackson and James Bullock,
had become entanged in the timber rods near
the top Of the Eallows frame. Jackson was
crushed to death by the sheave wheel falling

One of those kiled-W. B. Collius-was a
Baptist minister, who preached on Sundays
at Cold Field aud during the week worked in
the mines. He was IS years old and came
from Cornwall, England, Il few months ago.
Most OF the victims had come here from
the Cnuer d Alene, Lake Superior and other
districts TO take the places of strikers.
Frank Geles, engineer in charge, surren-
dered himself to the military officers IN the
district and was locked up. He would not
talk The militia has taken charge OF the
mine and Il rigid examination will be made.
