Sundberg is Instantly Killed in the Mine Last Thursday Afternoon By a Delayed Shot The first fatal accident for many months occurred shortly after 5 o'clock last Thursday afternoon, Carl J. Sundberg being the unfortunate victim. Mr. Sundberg and his two sons were working in rooms 42 and 44, seventh south main entry. The fatality occurred in 44. The men had fired their shots and and went a safe distance to wait until they went off. They heard all but one go off. After waiting about five minutes they heard another shot which the deceased supposed was his. He was mistaken, however, for as he entered the room the delayed shot went off, striking him in the face, causing almost instant death. As soon as they heard the shot, the boys ran to the room. They picked up their parent and one of them gave him a mouthful of water, which revived him for an instant and he apparently tried to speak; it was for an instant, however, and the next he was dead. Deceased was about 55 years old and was a native of Sweden. He had resided here about two years ago, coming from North Dakota. Owing to poor health he had not worked much until last December, when he went into the mine. His sons wanted him to quit work last payday and take up a ranch, but as he had just secured a good room he decided to wait until this payday. Deceased leaves a widow; two grownup sons, and a daughter five years old. The funeral took place Friday afternoon and was attended by the Scandinavian Brotherhood lodge, of which the sons of the deceased are members, the Miners Union and a large number of friends. Services were held at the M. E. Church, Revs. Armstrong and Peterson officiating.
