JESSE FIELDS

Jesse Fields, an ore trammer was killed in the Old Dominion 
rock house near the old shaft at Globe a week ago last night, 
the Arizona Silver Belt says.  There was no witness to the 
accident.  Charles Relli, the toplander wondering that Fields 
did not return to the shaft went to the rock house and found 
him suspended by the head, which was firmly held between the 
body of the car and the timber on which the track was laid.  
When the body of Fields was extricated life was extinct; the 
back of the skull was crushed and the neck broken.

There was no floor on either side of the tract, a board being 
laid for the trammers to walk on.  This board was broken.  
Either it broke under Fields weight and he pulled the loaded 
car over onto himself or else in attempting to dump the car 
on the side opposite to where he stood he slipped and the car 
swung back upon him breaking the board at the same time.

An inquest was held by Acting Coroner Carico and the jury 
rendered a verdict of accidental death in accordance with 
the testimony adduced.  The deceased left a wife and two 
small children.  The family came here from Safford.  The 
funeral took place on Monday afternoon from the residence 
in North Globe.
