WILLIAM YOUNG
MEETS INSTANT DEATH
Boulder Weighing Many Tons Roll
Upon Him.

William Young of Mine La Motto,
who was employed as a shoveler at
shaft No. of the Mine La Motto
mines, went on the shift at 4:30
O'Clock p. m. last Friday, being in the
prime of young manhood ard the
bloom of health and ut eleven o'clock,
while stationed at the foot of II large
sloping pile of loose oar-bearing rock,
which had been blasted out of the face
of the mine, an immense boulder,
weighing many tons and measuring
several feet in thickness, width and
length, dropped suddenly from the
roof and dashed quickly down the pile
of loose dirt and caught him beneath
its crushing weight, mashing his life
out almost instantly.
One of his legs was broken in five
places, the other in four, his body be-
ing mutilated almost beyond recog-
milton.
The mule driver, who hauls the ore
from the face of the mine TO the shaft,
had just brought an empty car TO the
heading for the shovelers to fill and
as Young was shoveling on the side of
the car next to where the stone fell,
his chances to escape were very slim;
but his partner, who stood on the op-
posite side of the car, ,shoveling,w was
able to escape.
Also the mule driver escaped, but
VIM. Young, and the mule which was
fastened to the car, could not escape,
both being crushed.
VIM. Young was the son of Mr.. Alex.
Young and was lS years of age. He
had been working in the mines for
quite while and if the accident could
have been two hours later, William
would have been gone home, as his
shift ended at o'clock.
William was a very sober, indus
trious young man, of ideal habits and
well liked by all who knew him.
Besides a father and mother, he
leaves host of friends and other rel
atives to mourn his tragic and I'M
timely death.
The Times joins in extending con-
dolence and sympathy to the stricken
and bereaved friends and relatives
of the deceased in this hour of gloom
