CARS DASH DOWN

Angry Miner Disconnccts Cable.
One Killed and Others

Especial to The Times-Dispatch.


Charleston. VIVA. June s.-For the
purpose of getting revenge on Super
intendent D. w. Ferguson and Fore
man James a. Rookie, for being. dis
charged and then re-employed at less
wages. Robert Mason, a driver for the
Lamont Mining Company, at Beth,
Kanawha county, disconnected tho
cable that drew three cars. containing
twenty miners. up the 1850 foot in
cline, and let the cars crash down the
steep slope. This caused the death
of John Solinsky. the serious injury
of John Schultz and Paul LAMAR, and
probably dangerously irjuring dozen
more.
Mason rode up the slope. occupying
the front car, and as the first car
went over the crest at the top, he In :
quired of others on the car IL the
superintendent and foreman was on
one of the cars. When told they We're.
Mason declared. with an oath. that
he would now get even with them
by sending them down the slope. and
.ha disconnected the cable. AS many of
the men as could. jumped, but three
of them were carried down the incline
with the cars. as they fairly flew
through the air. The superintendent
and foreman, however. did not get
on the cars. but decided to walt until
the next trip. and probably owe their
lives to that fact.
A warrant has been sworn out for
Mason, charging him with murder, but
he has not yet been apprehendeu.
