He had been employed as a shoveler on the top level of the shaft. He had just completed his shift's work and was riding to the shaft on the rear of an ore car which was being hauled by a mule, driven by Wm. Campbell. When the cars near the ore schute the mules are switched off and the cars are automatically dumped down the schute.

CONSTABLE INJURED IN FISTIC ENCOUNTER:
Constable Clem Black is wearing his right hand in a sling this week as the result of injuries he sustained when he delivered what was intended for a sleep producer on the head of Chris Leach Sunday night. The trouble occurred at a wedding celebration among the foreigners on the Federal claim. The constable had been employed to keep the peace. A row started when Chris arrived at the scene of the festivities and it became necessary to use force against him in keeping the peace. Leach received an ugly cut on the side of the head which is said to have been caused by colliding with a rock when the constable knocked him down. He was not seriously injured and although the constable succeeded in placing Chris hors de combat, he came out second best so far as the duration of his injuries are concerned.

JOHN GRIFFIN MUST FACE MURDER CHARGE:
Arrested Saturday and Charged With Murder of Chris Steagall Who Was Shot From Ambush on the Road Near Leadwood, Saturday, January 6. Men Had Quarreled Frequently.
John Griffin was arrested Saturday and charged with the murder of Chris Steagall of near Leadwood, who was shot from ambush while on his way home from Bonne Terre Saturday, January 6.
The case against Griffin, who lives in the neighborhood of the Steagall home, is of a circumstantial nature. It has been established that Griffin and Steagall had frequently had trouble and that Steagall had charged Griffin with trying to break up his home. The Steagall children told officers working on the case that Griffin frequently visited their home while their father was away and said they had heard their father tell Griffin he would kill him if he did not stay away from his home. One of the children, a little boy, seven years old, said that on the day his father was shot he saw Griffin crossing a field with a shot gun in his hand. The little boy said that Griffin had shot his father. When asked why he thought so he told of having seen Griffin with the gun.
The authorities have other evidence against Griffin which they do not deem advisable to divulge at the present time. Griffin's arrest was due to evidence secured by Sam Doss, who has been working on the case since the crime was committed.
