BECK Err KILLED.

William Becker, brother of Mrs
Harry jackson, met almost instant
death yesterday afternoon at 4:20,
when portion Of the wall Of the
structure known as the new smelter,
collapsed and crushed him under its
weight.
The American Smelling and Refin-
ing company had entered into a con-
tract with Mr.. Becker to tear down
the building in order that they might
utilize the brick in some of the con-
struction work at the plant.
Mr.. Becker commenced on the con-
tract about two weeks ago. He was
assisted by "Scottie" Starr and
step-son of John Du Praw's. Work
had progressed to a point where the
north and south walls were down and
the bricks packed away. The men
planned to take the east wall down
today. A few minutes before the
days labors were completed they put
block and tackle on the wall to see
if it was not possible to pull it over.
Two attempts were made without
success.
Mr.. Becker said to his assistants
that he believed if he spent a few
minutes undermining it, they could
accomplish the desired result Mr..
Starr warned him of the danger and
implored him not to take the risk,
but he was certain he could work
carefully enough to eliminate all pos
sibility of accident. He took his pick
went to the rear and started to take
out the bricks that seemed to be the
obstruction.
A boy standing near noticed the
heavy four-brick wall move and
shouted to him to get out of the way
but the warning came too late. He
looked up and saw the wall caving
down upon him and cried to his com
panions, "Im gone The words
were no more than uttered when the
| terrible weight crashed on him, pin
ming his head down to his feet
breaking his back, injuring his head
and fracturing his leg in two places
| His companions worked with al
most superhuman rapidity ane
strength to release him, but wher
they succeeded life was almost ex
tinct. He gasped twice and was
gone.
Mr.. Starr, who had been his init
mate friend for 20 years, was Sc
| overcome by the tragic accident, tha
as soon as he realized death hat
| cluaimed him, he lost conscious
ness. AS quickly as he recovered
from the shock he hastened owe
| town to break the sad news to thu
family.

age. Durango and vicinity has beer

and his family We're among the sub

was genial kindly man, who mum
bered his friends by his acquaint

ing has cast gloom over the entir

Mr.. Becker is survived by a wife
