Wednesday morning at about 2 o'clock, the employes of the St. Joseph Lead Co. mill were horrified to hear that Henry C. Aberle, one of the old and trusted employes of the company, had been caught between two cars of mineral and almost instantly killed.
Both the company and the family of the deceased wished an inquest held and the coroner being here, a jury was immediately summoned. The jury, consisting of Abe Ringer, J. Spence, J. Mitchell, A. C. Norwine, C. Covington, and J. R. Spradling, and after viewing the remains, brought in a verdict that the deceased came to his death by "being accidently caught between two cars."
Mr. Aberle was an old and well-respected resident of Bonne Terre and a trusted employe of the St. Joseph Lead Co. He will be buried by the Masons and the A.O.U.W. today at 2 o'clock from the Baptist church.
