A DOUBLE ACCIDENT.

A double accident happened at the
coal mine of the Mancos Fuel com
pany last Sunday that came very
near proving serious for Mr.. o. b.
Brady, manager of the mine. To
start with while letting down some
loaded cars, Mr.. Brady lost control
OF the drum thus letting some loaded
cars loose on the track which in their
plunge down the steep hill tore up
some two hundred feet of track. In
Strengthening out this difficulty some
other cars were released as a result
OF a slack cable on the drum, the
drum got started to revolving with
the weight of the cars and Mr.. Brady
received three heavy blows on the
head with bar of iron which came
very near laying him out right. How
ever he stuck to his task and with
the help of his men got the tram
in working order again by Monday
and was ready for business again.
Mr.. Brady was badly bruised about
the head and his neck was badly
sprained, but the coal business is
pressing and he lost but very little
time as a result of the accident
