W. J. Moore Pays Dearly
For Walking Around
Trip of Car
500 VOLTS ALL It TOOK
Victim Was EmplOye Of
Marion Gas Coal Co.
and Very Popular.

While attempting to climb over a
tim of mining cars at the Bingamon
mine Of the Marion Gas.Coal company
shortly after o'clock the morning
". ]. Moore, aged 5years, mine fore
man, accidentally touched live troI
ley wire and was electrocuted instan
".
Moore is a resident Of ldamay and
had only been working at the Binga
mon mine for about two weeks. With
a fellow workman by the name Of
James Zlnn. he had been living in a
small house located near the mine un-
III he had an opportunity to move his
family to Bingamon
This morning while Zinn was busy
cooking breakfast Moore went out Of
the house toward the mining track
which Is used to convey coal out
the mine At the time a trip OF car
was on the track and instead of wal
ing around the cars, Moore attemptc.
10 climb over the top, accidental
touching the trolley wire.
Examination OF the body followir
the accident shows that the wire
struck him on the jugular vein. 9th
erWIse It is not believed that the
shock would have killed him, as the
wire carried only 500 volts. A burned
place about the neck and chin showed
Inc exact place where the elettricit"
entered his body.
Following the accident County Coro
uer Frank Lloyd went to Blngamon
and made an investigation. He found
that the death was entirely accidental
and did not deem It necessary TO hold
IN inquest.
Moore is survived by wife and five
children, all Of whom are now resid-
ing at Idamay. He is a son.in.law Of
Mayor Thomas G. Price, Of Monon-
gah, and is we'll known in and about
MOnongah, as we'll as at Idamay,
where he had been employed with the
Consolidation Coal company for about
five months previous to his death.
He was a popular young man and
had made many friends at the Binga-
mon mine during the short time he
had been employed there. His ability
az q mine foreman was Of the very
best. Many friends will learn OF his
death with deep regret.
