That justice in Tonopah is dealt

In parallel with this case can be

guilty to misdemeanor charge

that this was a shake-down, but the
wench who stole the watch must

Other Dies From Injuries In As Minutes.

cave occurred, and as the tunnel
opens into the shop, they noted the
rush of air and dust, and surmised
what had happened. They at once
entered the mine to investigate and
found the bodies of the men lying
at the mouth of the drift connect
ing with the stope. 1t was seen at
once that Ferrio was dead, but
Quinn was alvie and conscious, an
the first thing he asked for was
doctor. He was taken outside and
DR.. Hodgins summoned, but the lat
ter could do nothing for the in
jured man, and he passed away in
few moments, being conscious tC
the last. Coroner William McDon-
aid was notified and after viewin;
the remains ordered them taken to
the undertaking parlors of Kitz-
meyer C Kenny. State Mining In
spector Ed Ryan was also notifie
at Carson, and arrived in this city
on the noon train, to investigate
the accident.
The stope that caved was known
as the Stark stope and was a large
one. being 10 sets wide and long
and about 10 sets high, having
nearly reached the surface. Super
intendent Duval of the Chollar
Leasing company stated that the
stope was all securely timbered
with new lumber and square-setted
and was as safe as it was possible
to make it. Yesterday the ground
gave signs of moving and last night
this became more pronounced and
all the men were taken out of the
stope and work abandoned thero
The two men killed, evidently be
lieved that they were perfectly safe
at the location where their bodies
were found and it is probable that
had they been a few feet either way
from the mouth of the connecting 6
drift, they would not have been in
iured.
Coroner Mcdonald empanelled the
following jury, who viewed the re
mains: Avery Powers, Frank James
John Kenny, Gar Edwards, Thoma
Carney and Thomas Huddy Th
inquest is now being held.
