Trapper Boy Killed 

South Fork, Sept. 7 -- Michael Gudemas, a 14-year-old trapper boy employed 
in Mine No. 1 of the Stineman Coal Mining Company, was run over by a motor 
and five coal cars while at work shortly before 4 o'clock yesterday 
afternoon and almost instantly killed.  The boy was terribly mangled. The 
exact cause of the accident is not known yet as the driver of the motor 
did not suspect that anything was wrong until his trip went crashing 
through the door the boy should have opened. It is thought the boy slipped 
and fell as he started to swing the door open.
