TRAGEDY OCCURS IN
SHORT LINE YARDS
Joseph Day Bryant Is Acciden-
tally Killed; Struck by
Shunted Car.
WAS A FORMER RESIDENT
OF GLEN'S FERRY, IDAHO
His Skull Fractured and Other
Injuries Result in In
slant Death.

The Oregon Short Line freight yard
was the scene of another tragedy Sat
urday afternoon, between / and 5
o clock. when Joseph Day Bryant.
trucker employed about the warehouse
and yard, was struck by a shunted car
on one of the sidetracks and instantly
killed.
Though no one witnessed the fatal ac
cidcnt, and consequently the exact ma
ture of its occurrence will never be
known. Bryant was seen leaning up
against a single car few minutes
before a number of "empties" were
switched onto the track, humping the
car against which he stood heavily and
throwing him to the ground, fracturing
his skull and inflicting instantly fatal
injuries.
The body of the dead truckman was
carried into the freight shed and Cor
oner Dana T. Smith notified. The Cor
oner made an investigation and found
that an inquest in the case would be
useless, Tho remains were removed to
the Evans undertaking parlors on State
street and will be held there until in
structions are received from Bryant s
mother, who lives at Glenn s Ferry,
Ida, as to their final disposition;
Bryant until recently resided at
Clenn s PeIry ana hp CalleuleS 4NeNs liz
had been in the employ of the railroad
company but about two months and
made his home in Salt Lake at a board
ing house conducted by I. E, Hollis, l53
North Fourth West street.
An interesting, though not partIcu-
larly significant, feature of the acci-
dent was the fact that only about nm
hour before Bryant met his death he
took out an accident insurance policy
for $1,000, paying 50 for the same. and
taking receipt from local agent
of what is known as The Railway EN-"
ployees' Protective association of San
Francisco, Cal.
The unfortunate truckman was proba-
bly, 45 years Of age, and, aside from
his mother, who has been advised of
his death by the authorities, he Is said
to have had no relatives.

The Ohio Kentucky company owns an
undivided one-half interest In the Cur.
rency, Greenback, Silver and lndepend-
very best Of the big porphyry dyke, or,
as 1T ls called, the mother lode of the
district, and on which is situated a rich
shoot OF ore. including the Black Lead,
discovered in 1874, which created great
excitement in mining circles at that
time
The great porphyry dyke has been
developed along its strike by a number
of shafts, some of which have attained
to depth of 1900 feet The country
above exposes a virgin ore-bearing ter
ritory on the surface, while the bottom
Levels are all strong In ore, which eG-
perts say give every indication of ex
tending to still further depths.

the Floral springs, the only water sup
ply in the county, and town system
of water-mains pipes and the like,
through which Phoebe is supplied with

shaft is being sunk and is now halfway
down to the. ore body. The showing
is most encouraging for. a great silver
lead producing mine The developments
on this and other of the mines belon ging
