Williams, a young man of twenty-two or twenty-three years of age, who met his death in a mine belonging to the Missouri Lead & Zinc Co. at the head of Seventh-St. yesterday forenoon. His body has been embalmed, and is being held, awaiting the orders of the young man's relatives as to its disposal. About 6 o'clock yesterday Williams who had just been placed in charge of the mine, went down into the shaft preparatory to firing a shot. A man named Gilbern, who was working with Williams, warned him against making the attampt, until the shaft could be cleared of the foul air. The young man thought he could stand it, however, and started down. When he failed to return it was surmised at once that he had been overcome, and the work of getting the shaft ready for a descent of rescuers was instituted. It was 2:30 before the body was recovered, and in the meantime Deputy County Coroner W. R. Fletcher had been notified and had gone out to the mine to make and investigation.
