Fifteenth Annual Report of the State Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1896
On May 11, 1896, at Sholl Bros, mine, at Hollis, Peoria Co., Wm. Hoffman, miner, 
aged 57, married, was fatally injured. Deceased came late that morning, and 
instead of walking into his room, he jumped into the last car while the trip was 
going down the slope. It is supposed he had not got properly into the car, as he 
was struck by a trap door at the entrance and bruised internally. He lived until 
the 16th of May. The evidence showed that the company had repeatedly issued orders 
forbidding the men to ride down the slope. Deceased leaves a widow and four 
children, two of whom are able to work.
