Nineteenth Annual Report of the Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1900
March 8, 1900, Louis Chico, miner, aged 38 years, married, was instantly killed by 
a fall of rock in No. 1 mine of the C., W. & V, Coal Company at Heenanville, six 
miles northwest of Streator, LaSalle county. Deceased and his partner were taking 
out the pillars between the rooms, and had fired a blast the night before which 
left some top coal. Deceased was wedging down this coal, when it came away; a 
large rock came with it, from a slip in the roof, striking him on the head, with 
the above results. Deceased and his partner knew the rock was dangerous, but 
thought they were far enough away to avoid it. He leaves a widow and five 
children.
