VETERAN MINER DIES ON HIS WAY TO WORK--

Charles Wilson, 69 yeas old, was found dead in a Meaderville street car before 
6 o'clock yesterday morning on East Park street, while on his way to the West 
Colusa mine, where he had been empolyed as a watchman for the last 10 years. He 
had boarded the car at Park and Main street, asking the conductor for a paper. 
While reading the paper he died, presumable from heart trouble.

Mr. Wilson had lived with his wife at the Broadway apartments for a number of 
years. After coming to Butte he began work as a miner, working at that 
occupation for a number of years. For four years he was a member of the Butte 
police force, then he went to work in the mines again. After the work in the 
mines got too hard for him he was given the position as watchman at the West 
Colusa.

As a miner and a member of the Butte police force Mr. Wilson gained a wide 
acquaintance and many friends in Butte. He was a member of the Lincoln post, 
Grand Army of the Republic, of Butte, having served three years during the 
civil war.

Mrs. Wilson is the only surviving member of the family in Butte. One niece 
survives him. The funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clcok 
at the Richards undertaking establishment. Burial will be in the veterans' plot 
at Mount Moriah cemetery. Coroner Lane has not yet decided whether an inquest 
will be held.
