CROWNK|NGMAN IS DROWNED IN
 AN O|L PIT
HOIST ENGINEER FALLS THROUGH COVERING OF HOLE AFTER HE HAD LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AND LOSES LIFE.
(From Fridays Daily)


 Louis Gordiu, one of the employees of the Crown King mine, lost his life on Tuesday morning when in some unexplained manner he fell into a deep pit containing a mixture of oil and water and was drowned. Gordin, who was tending hoisting engine located not far from the pit, had started to work at & o'clock. Shortly after 10 o'clock it was noted that he was missing from his post and a search was started. At 10:30 his body was located in the oily mixture, life having been extinct but short while when the corpse was brought out
 Whether the man received fatal electric shock from his hoisting ap- paratus or whether he suffered heart failure and slid down into the pit was not learned when the inquest was held that afternoon. Some of his fellow workers were inclined to believe tha, the victim might have been hit on the head by some large timber and thus lost consciousness.
 The remains were brought to Pres colt on Wednesday and on Thursday afternoon they were started for Los Angeles, where the funeral was to occur The body was accompanied by the wife of the deceased Mir. Gordin had been working at the Crown King since last July, comine there from Mexico City. He was 45 years of age and highly esteemed by all of his fellow workmen.

FATAL ACCIDENT YESTERDAY ON
 S.F.P.&P.L|NE
CONDUCTOR STEW ART SUCCUMBS TO INJURIES SUSTAINED IN COLLIS- ION OF TRAINS ON A MOUNTAIN GRADE.
CFrom Thursdays Daiiy1

A fatal accident occurred on the s. F. P. & P. Wednesday morning at about 2:45 o'clock, at a point seven miles south Of Wickenburg, which re- suited in the death Of Conductor ]. c. Stewart four hours later.
 Particulars Of the smashup Of two trains are meager. It was reported that Conductor Stewart had his south bound freight train standing on bridge when on the rather steep grade four cars of a northbound freight broke loose and came tearing down the track at terrific speed, strik- ing the caboose on the top of which Mir. Stewart was standing. When the crash occurred Mir. Stewart was thrown to the creek bed, over 50 feet below, when he received fatal injuries being internally injured and one of his arms broken. He was rendered unconscious for some time, and after being removed to Wickenburg was revived. Later he passed into the same state, and it was while he was being brought to Mercy hospital in Prescott that his death followed. He was unable to converse or give any reason for the accident.
 Mir Stewards career as a railroad man of over II years on this road had been attended at all times with strict regard to careful duty for preserving life and property. and his death is oc- casioniug much sorrow.
 Where the collision took place it has been the custom in railroading for one train to help another in back ing freight cars mp the grade, which accounts for the train of Conductor Stewart having been brought to a standstill. \ livestock buyer of Flag staff. named Mcclure, also was caught in the. crash but escaped with only slight injuries, and is now at Mercy hospital under treatment.
 Conductor Stewart came to Pres ago, and previously had followed rail roading. He was promoted from brakeman to conductor Personally he enjoyed an excellent name in and out of his calling. and for this reason his untimelv death IS deeply deplored by many He was aged g years, and a native of Pennsylvania Surviving arc his wife and two daughters, Miss Lonelva Stewart and Mrs. \. s. Nit chell, who reside in this city, an aged mother in Pennsylvania, and four sis ters and three brothers, one of the latter being Fred Stewart, an employe of the s. F. P & P in the operating department The deceased affiliated with the Ellls and Knights of Pythias orders, also being a member of the Order of Railroad Conductors and Brotherhood of Trainmen. Burial will probably be given in this city.
