FALL IN SHAFT CAUSES DEATH
Bisbee Workman Met With Fatal Accident in S. & P. Mine
BISBEE, Aug. 8.—As the result of a fall he received at the Cole shaft of the Superior & Pittsburg company yesterday afternoon, Mose Pascoe passed away this morning at 9:30 o’clock.
The accident occurred yesterday afternoon at about 4 o’clock while Pascoe was at work in a stope. He was driving in a timber when a boulder above him dropped on the floor of lagging on which he was standing, breaking through the floor and precipitating the unfortunate man down two sets of timbers on top of a mine car. The injured man was taken to the Calumet & Arizona hospital for treatment, where he died from his wounds.
Deceased was born in Hayle, Cornwall, England, 38 years ago, and came to this country in 1903, locating in Maine. About a year ago he came to this camp, joining his brothers here. He leaves to mourn his loss his widow, six brothers and three sisters, all residing in England with the exception of two brothers. They are Louis and Bert, who reside in South Bisbee; Thomas, George, Henry and William of Plymouth, Devonshire, England. The sisters are Minnie Pascoe, Mrs. Bessie Clemmence, Mrs. Annie Williams and Mrs. H. J. Drew, all of Hayle.
No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral, but it will probably be held from the Palace undertaking parlors tomorrow.
