Three Men Killed.

Concerning the sad accident which
occurred at Platteville on Wednesday of
last week, we quote the Grant County
News of Dec. %. as follows:
The most fearful accident that has
ever happened in the Wisconsin mining
field since the industry was first
launched, occurred late Wednesday af-
ternoop at the Blockhouse mine. when
fall of rock crushed out the lives of
Art Treloar Of Lancaster c. G. Rick
of Boscobel and James Hamilton, for
merly of Patch Grove.
The mine is located three miles south
of Platteville and is one of the heaviest
producers in the district
The men were finishing the work of
the shift, when without warning a slab
of stone measuring twenty feet long
fell from the ceiling and distance of
forty feet and crushed out the lives of
all three so quickly that not one of
them ever made a sound or knew what
hit them. Otto Wisco the ground boss
was SO close to the men who were
crushed that the slab struck his clothes
but did not injure him.
The slab was about twenty feet long
two feet thick and weighed more than
ten ton. 1t fell distance of forty
feet. The men and other workmen
had examined the ceiling not long be-
fore the accident and pronounced it
safe.
The victims Of the accident were all
married men. James Hamilton. who
came here from Lancaster, leaves
wife and five children. His remains
will be taken to Patch Grove Saturday.
Funeral services will oe held at st.
Mary's church Saturday morning at
1880.
Art Treloar was formerly from Lam
caster. He leaves a wife The body
was taken to Lancaster yesterday.
Clarence Kicks leaves wife and
son, who has been attending the Nor
NAL. His remains will be taken to
Boscobei today
The accident was one of the terrible
calamities that occur and are the fault
Of no one. This section of the mine
was properly timbered and the fatal
rock fell from between the poasts.
