A sad accident occurred last Friday at the Laughlin coal bank. A young man by the name of Roy Hull began work in the bank on Thursday as we are informed and on Friday afternoon as a car of coal was being raised the car struck a board at the top of the shaft and caused it to fall to the bottom, one end striking the head of young Hull the skull was seriously fractured and death followed in a short time.
