FALLS 500 FEET TO HIS DEATH

Pioche, Nev., Oct. 19-William MC LEOD, a miner, was killed last night, 
falling nearly 500 feet to the bottom of the shaft. Two other men were 
in the bucket with MC LEOD, and when they were within a short distance 
of the top, the latter was stricken with heart failure and fell.
    MC LEOD worked in Utah and Montana camps before coming here.  He was 
terribly crushed by the fall and when picked up his head was practically 
severed from his body.  The body was buried here today. - [Pioche
