Killed by a Fall of Coal

  John Webber, a Russian miner, in the employ of the Lingle Coal 
Company of Patton was caught under a fall of coal about 1 o'clock 
Friday afternoon and received injuries which caused his death before 
his companions could convey him to the mouth of the mine in which the 
accident occurred.
  It appears that Webber who was a man about fifty years of age was 
working in a comparatively isolated part of the mine at the time 
mentioned. Some fellow workmen heard the noise occasioned by the 
falling coal however and listening in the direction of the sound, soon 
came upon Webber lying half buried and apparently dead.
  The deceased is survived by a fourteen-year-old son who lives with 
his father and three daughters who are employed in Brooklyn, N. Y. 
Funeral services will likely be held tomorrow.
