Killed at Elk Garden.

ELk GARDEN, VA, Sept. al.
Special Correspondence of The Argus.
Harley Montgomery Harris, son
of MIR. and Mrs. p. w. Harris and
nephew of Senator Montgomery, OF
Tunnelton. was killed in mine 10 of
the Davis Coal & Coke Co. last
Thursday noon. He was a 'trapper
boy" and was killed by runaway
car through the criminal negligence
of the company in failing to provide
walk of , - feet on the side of the
track, there not being room for the
boy to escape.
The funeral occurred Sunday and
was one of the largest ever held in
Elk district, the boy and his parents
being held IN universal esteem. The
floral tributes were many. II the
boy had lived until November 10 he
would have been IA years old. Mrs.
Harris, who is In very poor health,
collapsed at the grave and her life
is almost despaired.
John a. Spinger, mine inspector,
and Senator Montgomery are max
ing rigid investigation. The law
forbids any boy under II years of
age entering the mines, and it is ru.
mored that the boy was killed while
doing the work of two trappeis.
