FOREIGN BORN MINER KILLED UNDERGROUND
Andrew Zavodski, who had been
employed in the mines here by the St. Joe Lead Company for the past seventeen years, was
found dead last Friday morning in Mine No. 1. It is supposed that his death was
caused by falling from a bluff on which he was working. He was found by Shift
Foreman Albert Fink, who heard a rock fall and called to Andrew thinking that the man
might have been hurt. On receiving no reply he called again and again and receiving
no reply he investigated and found Mr. Zavodski lying on the ground moaning. He was
at once brought to the top but died in a short time.
The inquest was held Friday afternoon at
two o'clock and the verdict was that he had come by his death by "accidentally
falling from a bluff in the mine."
He leaves a wife and three children.
