STEPHEN NAAS MEETS DEATH
BY FALLING DOWN SHAFT
Stephen Naas was killed this morn
ing at 9:15 o’clock by falling down the
shaft in what is known as the Rhoda
claim on Center creek. The mine Is
operated by .1. Glassner, .1 l’anos and
J. D. Naas, the latter a cousin of the
deceased. From .Mr J. D Naas the
following facts have been obtained re
garding the cause of the death of Naas
so far as such facts arc known. It ap
pears that Stephen Naas had occasion
to go to the .surface, and although he
was often warned against using the
ladder for that purpose when the buck
et was being used, he started to climb
up the ladder instructing the men if
the bucket should start down for them
to signal the engineer to stop. Nass
started up the ladder and had probably
reached within fifteen or twenty feet
of the surface when the engineer start
ed to lower tho bucket. Naas shouted
to the engineer and the men in th«l
shaft gave the bell to stop the engine.
The bucket was stopped within about
ten feet of the surface but Naas,
whether struck by the bucket or not,
fell to the bottom of the shaft and was
instantly killed. It is believed that
Nans who had probably reached near
the surface and seeing his danger
started back and in his haste ami ex
ilement lost his footing on the icy
ladder and fell, it is not believed by
those at the mine that he was struck
by the bucket and the condition of the
body bears out that theory. Naas
dropped a distance of probably sixty
or more feet and in his fall struck
the station tender, Tommy Watson,
who was knocked unconscious for ten
or more minutes. Judge James Frawley
United States Commissioner was
notified immediately of the death of
Naas and lie immediately went out to
the mine and bad the body removed to
the undertaker's office and a jury was
empaneled and an inquest held this
afternoon. The evidence tended to
show that deceased was not struck by
the descending bucket, that the ladder
was not used for the purpose of as
cending and descending the shaft un
less the bucket line was out of ordor
and that deceased was often warned
not to use the ladder except in case of
emergencies. The deceased was also
one of the company which was operat
ing the mine at the time of ills death.
The coroner's jury after hearing the
facts brought in a verdict substantially
in accordance with the above and plac
ed no blame on the company. Deceased
was a native of Nova Scotia where he
has brothers and sisters living and was
about thirty-eight years old and un
married.
