WHILE RESCUERS WORKED

In sight after facing a horrible death
for more than six hours. Nicholas Ned
endock was finally crushed TO death
under many tons OF Goals in a chute Of
the Independent Ice Company early to-
day. His body has not been recovered.
Two other men, Charles Moher. chief
engineer and Charles Cooper who were
directing the work Of rescue were also
caught under the coal and are in the
hospital in a serious condition.
Negendock was standing at the
mouth OF a chute which is used to get
coal into the boiler room OF the mas
sive plant, waiting the coal TO slide
down. There were two hundred tons in
the pile above the chute which is about
six feet square at the mouth, but re-
duces in size as IL gets TO the bottom,
eight feet below.
In some manner the snoring support
ing the big coal pile gave way and Neg
endock was swept Off his feet and down
the chute with much Of the small coal
on top of him.
For a time NedendoclS was able to
direct their course and just as IL look
ed as though he would be reached,
more of the supports at the top OF the
coal pile gave way and one hundred
tons piled down on the mouth OF the
chute covered Moher and Cooper. who
were on the edge of the mouth OF the
chute and burying Nedendock to a
depth OF many feet.
