Joe Lyons, a young man about %
years old, was killed in the mines last
Saturday night by falling back in the
Hoffman mines here, and foreigner
was very badly hurt at the same time.
This particular part of the mines is
very dangerous ground. and it has
been the practice of the company to
have miners on each shift to look af-
ter the safety Of the men, but for
some reason they have left that part
of the work to the machine men to do.
The machine men cannot get the re-
quired amount of drilling done and
look after the loose ground properly,
and it is a wonder that there has not
been more men killed than has been.
Joe Lyons was fine young man and
stood high with all who knew him. He
was full of life and had a good, friend
ly smile for everybody. An inquest
was held at J. S. Boyer's Sunday, af-
ter which the body was taken to his
parents home near Potosi. Joe
leaves father, mother and some bro
theirs and sisters, the number of which
we never learned. A large delegation
of our citizens attended his funeral
Monday at the family burying ground
near Potosi.
