PECULIARLY SAD
Death Of w. r. Herman as a Result Of
lnhaing Powder Smoke

W, r. Herman died last afternoon
at o'clock, the result OF inheling the
deadly powder smoke ON the l 600 foot
level in the Tombstone Consolidated .
Mr.. Anderson, who was with Her
man, very kindly volunteered the facts
to The PRosPEcToR reporter,
They had a round OF thirteen ma
chine holes, which involved the use OF
heavy charges of powder, each hole
being approximately 5 feet e inches
deep. The first three were snutfed
before the men went to lunch. This
gave the air a chance to clear in tn It
particular section. On their return
one "missfre' and .hree more shots
were put of, which knocked down the
air pipe by which ventilation was pro-
vided for the workings.
The men went in to load four more
holes, but the gas was so bad, Ander-
son cane out and wanted Herman to
come out with him. Herman re.
manned and loaded the holes. and An.
derson later went in and assisted him
to spit them. Up to this time Her
man did not seem to experience any
particular inconvenience.
Anderson went back and assisted in
loading three more holes The last
three three breast holes they wanted to
shoot before going of" They went
in aud started to load these holes,
when Anderson baked on the gas
which was fierce. lie came out suf-
fering somewhat from the smoke and
again advised Herman to come out
with him. Herman persisted in re-
naming ano loading the holes. This
last dose caught him, and when he
came out he staggered down the hill
gasping for breath.
For several days Herman lowered
between life and death, but yesterday
his case took a turn ior the worse He
began 10 expectorate blood profusely
along with lung Tissue, and expired as
stated above. Herman leaves a wife
and three children, to whom the pro-
found sympathy Of the whole CON-
munity is extended. He was q high
Mason, and that order will take charge
of the obsequies, which will be held
tomorrow at 10 Q. m. from the resi-
deuce on Bruce street.

The Sad Lesson Of Herman.

The recent tragic incident
resulting in the death Of W.
R. Herman constitutes a les
son by which millions may
profit.
Whether unaware of the
danger Of therea situation or
a INSTRUCTED notion of duty,
Herman lost his life, leaving
a young family to mourn bis
demise and miss the sustain
ing strength of his honest
heart and strong right arm
through life.
His family could not spare
him, the community could i'll
afford to spare him, and the
country will miss men like
him; and it is a sore duty We
have TO let good men like him
down into the grave.
The lesson should not be
lost and measure of prudence
and discretion constantly ex-
ercised to not voluntarily in
wife danger.

Oh sc r ETION.

The Democrats have a
county ticket to frame up this
fall. We want to elect our
ticket. We feel that by virtue
of our platform and the record
of our party in Cochise coun-
ty, We have a solid claim on
the people of the county. the
taxpayer. the business man,
the workingman, and on every
good citizen,
We realize that we have a
strong normal majority, but,
the true Democrat is not a
yellow dog partizan. In local
politics, if he considers the
candidate on his ticket as
good as the man on the other
ticket, he will naturally and
properly vote for his man.
1t therefore behooves Us &c
select men above reproach,
men fitted for the place tc
which they aspire, and men
who are Democrats without {
blemish.
Permit no unworthy mol
unsavory person to wiggle BIZ
way into the Democratic con
vention and secure a nomina
ton. We have plenty o.
good timber, let US make NJ
mistakes. Let us look to in

the northern boundry ran xest about
as far as Casa Grande, whence it
turned north to point nearly on the
