Killed in the Mines.

  About 6 o'clock on Wednesday evening William Larkins was instantly 
killed in the Lloydsville mines.  He was preparing a shot, and while 
thus engaged the roof gave way and fell on him, breaking his neck, back 
and legs.  He was about 50 years of age, and leaves four children to 
mourn their loss.  Mr. Larkins was insured in the Travelers' Accident 
Company for $300 or $400.
