FIND BODY AFTER
MANY HOURS WORK
Bisbee Fears Disaster From
Loose Boulders on the
Hills.

Bisbee. Ariz., March 27.-Nearly "a
hours of continuous work was required
before the body Of Isaac Yeckanan,
Finlander, aged s5 years, could be re-
covered from under the hundreds OF
tons of debris which had fallen upon
the man while he was at work In the
Irish Meg shaft Of the C. & A. COM
pany. The earth was packed close
around the body, which was horribly
mutilated by broken timbers.
The number OF boulders which have
become dislodged from the heights
above Quality hill have caused the res
idents of that section of the city to
fear disaster. Application has been
made to the city council to clear the
hillside heights of all loose rocks. The
street committee will make an inyes-
LEGATION and plan for preventive meas
ures. About month ago, after
heavy snowfall. a boulder fell from
the hillside, going through two rooms
of the residence of Mrs. Studley, ana
alighting on bed, from which the
occupant had moved but a few mo-
ments before. This boulder weighed
more than two tons.
