KILLED UNDER ELEVATOR
Edward Prudence, Fifty-Fivc Years Of
Age. Meets Death While Work
Ing I'm Judge Building.

Neglect to look out for descending
elevator after he had been repeatedly
warned, resulted In the instant death
at 1850 this morning of Edward Pru-
dence, aged &c. of Park City. at the
Judge building. Prudence, who is an
old time resident OF the Park, was
unable to find work at home, so he
came here. and for the last six weeks
had been employed at the Judge build
ing, now fast approaching completion.
He was In the habit of hiding his
shovel In the pit OF the west elevator.
when not using it. and at the hour
named was on the cellar floor. Pru-
dence wanted his shovel to clean up
come rubbish for removal to the street
and stepped to the edge of the pit to
get II, as the elevator came swiftly
down. Lee Edwards the elevator boy.
of course did not know what was GO
ing on underneath, and as usual, drop
pod his cage into the basement. The
floor of the cage struck Prudence as he
was rising after picking up his shovel,
crushing the right side of his head 10
"A pulp. and breaking his neck.
Fellow workmen called TO the ele-
vator boy. and rushed to the pit, but,
on removing Prudence. he was found

body was removed to ODonnells
morgue, and the undertaken wired the
two sons of the deceased at Park City.
They VIII be here this evening. Pru-
dence leaves a wife, daughter and two
sons at the Park, where he was an
engineer at the Ontario mine. The
accident occasioned considerable com
otion in the building. but no blame Is
attached to any OF the workmen, an
warnings had been given to all em-
pioyes having business in the cellar,
TO look out for the elevator.
Tho temporary absence of protective
wire netting around the elevator
shafts during the completion of the
interior OF the building, makes special
care imperative for people having bus
mess in or around tho elevators. one
man stood on the fifth floor today,
looking down the shaft, when the cage
came up and struck him. knocking
him back into the hallway senseless.
Had the cage been running at full
speed. the man would probably have
been killed.
