Tribune Leased Wire
COLUMBIA, Carbon County, Feb. 14- One mine was killed and two injured by a roof cave-in at the Columbia mine Saturday at 10:10 a.m.
Eugene (Jay) DeAngeles, 44, district foreman at the mine more than 10 years, died instantly when part of the roof fell, knocking out timbers and supports. Pete Roybal, about 30, and Teo Filo Gonzales, about 25, were injured.
The injured miners, suffering from shock and bruises, are at Dragerton, Carbon county, hospital for treatment and observation for possible internal injuries.
Officials at the mine, which provides coal for Geneva Steel Co., said Saturday the investigation indicated Mr. DeAngeles had taken the two men with him back into the mine to timber a portion. He had proceeded beyond the timbered section and was standing approximately five feet from the face when the roof gave way.
Mr. DeAngeles had been employed at the Columbia mine 14 years and had served as foreman most of that time.
He was born May 26, 1903, a son of Joe and Vera DeAngeles.
Surviving, besides his parents at Price, are his widow, Mrs Ada Watt DeAngels, two daughters, Lavae and Shanna DeAngeles, Columbia; six brothers and three sisters, John, Tony and Louie DeAngeles, San Francisco, Mrs. J.C. Snow, Pete and Frank DeAngeles, Price, Mike DeAngeles, Castle Gate, Carbon county, Mrs. Nick Galanis, Salt Lake City, and Mrs. B.F. Barkley, Provo.
