TWO MINERS KILLED BY FALLING GROUND
Oliver St. Germain and Dennis T. Byrne Meet Death in the High Ore Mine.
BURIED BENEATH ROCK
Chester Judd, Brother-in-Law of Byrne, Also Injured. All Were Recently Married.
One miner was instantly killed, another received injuries from which he died several hours later and a third was badly hurt when the hanging wall of a stope on the fourth floor of the 2,400-foot level of the High Ore mine caught them yesterday noon.
The dead:
OLIVER ST. GERMAIN, 27 years of age and married.
DENNIS T. BYRNE, 25 years of age and married.
The injured:
Chester Judd, 25 years of age and married. Bruised about back and hips.
The men were making room for a set of timbers when the ground caved in. They were caught by about four cars of rock, which completely buried them. Miners working on the same floor ran to the place and dug the men from their position. St. Germain was dead and Byrne was unconscious. The latter sustained a compound fracture at the base of the skull and he never regained consciousness before he died last nigh at St. James hospital. Although Judd's injuries are painful his condition is not considered serious.
