(February 8, Otto Stitzer, German, Miner, was instantly killed about 7 o'clock A,M, by falling into the Seaboard Shaft Mine. John S. Taylor, the mine foreman, stated that he had sent all the men down the shaft who were there and then went to the office to make out a report. It was understood by all that no one was to get on the cage until he had notified either the mine foreman or the engineer, but contrary to orders it is supposed Stitzer came to the shaft thinking the cage was at the landing, opened the gate and stepped in. An electric light was nearby and he should have seen the danger. Nicholas Drystadt and his brother were at the bottom of the shaft when he fell. An inquest was held and the verdict was that death was due to his own negligence.)
