Metonwich, John

MINER ELECTROCUTED IN BOSWELL MINE - His neck coming in contact with an 
electrically charged wire, John Metonwich was electrocuted Sunday night in the 
mine of the United Coal Company at Boswell. The man, it is said was replacing a 
car on the tracks when the fatal accident occurred. He was about 25 years old 
and unmarried and had worked for the company for the past four years. So far as 
is known, he has no relatives in this country.
