Joseph Parmley, Unborn At the Time of the Scofield Mine Disaster Twenty-One Years Ago, Cornea Into Court and Contends For Alleged Bighte Very Eminent Lawyers Disagree. An action growing out of the Scofield coal mine disaster of May 1, 1900, in which two hundred miners employed by the Pleasant Valley Coal company lost their lives, was filed on last Friday in the Third District court at Salt Lake City by Joseph Parmley, 20 years of age, through hia mother, Mary Parmley. Damages of $15,000 are asked. The case involves the question of whether Ihe damage settlement made with a widow and children at the time of the accident affects the interests of an unliorn child. Joseph Parmley, according to Attorneys Samuel A. King and Ruasel G. Rchulder, who the complaint, waa lmrn a short time afteF the death of hia father, William Parmley, in the' mine explosion. Mrs. Parmley, shortly after the death of her husband, received five hundred dollars in settlement from the company for herself and the children who were living at that time. We hold that the right of the child to a damage claim was not lost when the company made the settlement with the widow, saya AttorThe boy is now near maney King. he feels that be is entitled and turity to damages from the company. It ia a question on which there is a difference of opinion among lawyers. Rome hold that the original settlement would stand, while others take the same view that we have taken. The trial of the case no doubt will develop many interesting legal questions. The Scofield disaster occurred in what is known as the Winter Quarters mine of the Pleasant Valley Coal company. It is charged in the complaint that the disaster was due to carelessness of the company in allowing unt dampened coal dust to accumulate, is alleged that William Parmley died from the effects of a violent explosion and noxious gases. pre-iar- the Matter of the Petition of Price, a Municipal Corporation, For Permission to Change the Rates For Electric Power to Retail Users.
