Dubuque Herald, July 10, 1859

A cow belonging to a family named Tigel, in the upper part of Dubuque, fell into a mine shaft back of their residence yesterday, and was killed. It is quite probable that some of the cows supposed to have been stolen, may be found at the bottom of some deserted mineral shaft. Some measures should be taken to force those having shafts to provide proper barriers against the recurrence of such casualties.
