FATAL ACCIDENT IN
MINES At GILCHRIST
joining Roon1-Another is
Injured.

a shocking accident occurred at the
iilchrist coal mine Wednesday after
noon by which one man lost his life
md another was badly injured.
A. b. Moore is the man who was
killed and Oscar Thomas was badly
cut about the head and face. 1t seems
hat some other miners had prepared
shot in an adjoining room, and
whether from an Over-charge, or
whether the dividing partition was
weakened, when the shot was fired the
partition was blown out with the above
result. Medical aid was summoned and
the wounds of Thomas were attended
%. Moore was dead but there were
hardly any marks on his body and it
is believed that he was knocked sense
less and then suffocated by the deadly
fumes of the gas following the expo
sion.

save the price of his nights lodging.

that the assessors have used fair
