Fails Frem Motor to Instant Death.

,sse Howard, rs. was instantly
klll~t in the Crescen Coal Co. mine
at E-vier AZ 9 O'Clock last SATURDAY.
morning when he fel! from a motor
on which he was "tri >" rider. The
motor was pulling s:rlug of twenty
loaded cars, and as switch was ap-
preached Howard is supposed to
have lost his bearing in attempting
to alIght and throw the switch. Tie
motorman looked back to remove a
coupling pin, and when he looked
ahead he saw the light on Howard's
cap decend. The motor was stopped
as quickly as possible, and the driver
ran back to the point where Howard
appeared to fall. He could not find
him, and went down the other side
of the cars, with same result, and
then came back to the motor, find
ing the body under the first coal car
and life extinct. The body had been
rolled and dragged about thirty feet
and as there was a clearance of ONLY
about seven inches between the bot
tom of the motor and the roadbed,
life was crushed out Instantly, not a
sound being made by the victim.
Both legs were broken, the left in
two places, and there were many
contusious and cuts all over the body
together with internal injuries.
Funeral services were held at the
home In CleatOn at O'Clock Sum-
day afternoon, and interment was
in the Miller graveyard, nearby. A
large number of friends attended
these services. The widow and two
children have the sympathy and in
terest of everyone, in this sudden
sorrow. Howard was born in Ohio
county, but had worked at various
mines in this county during the past
several years, and was we'll known.
He had the day before his death
appeared before the examining
board here, and passed a splendid
examination, and would have res
pended to his country's call to arms
and all who knew him know he
would have made a valiant soldier.

tn at he thinks our government is
