Butte, Mont.-Friday of last week.
while endeavoring to beat their com.
rades to the surface, Patrick Roman
fell 800 feet into the st. Lawrence
mine and was instantly killed. Patrick
Sullivan was in some strange manner
thrown upon the station and saved,
though badly bruised. and Timothy
O'Leary fell to the bottom Of the cage,
but managed to hang on. Sullivan's
escape is considered most miraculous.
The three miners, thinking to reach
the surface ahead of the men below
them, jumped on the tally" cage
which goes ahead of the passenger
cage. The tally cage swayed under the
heavy speed of its ascent, causing the
men to lose their hold and fall. Ro-
mans body was horribly mangled, evil
IDENTIFY having bounded from one side
Of the shaft to the other in its descent.
