Guise was caught beneath be-neath falling earth and roc ks as he removed re-moved timbers on the , 1000-foot level, whirh had been placed for the safety of the workers. No reason could be assigned for his a-t of removing the heavy timbers other than th;it he was in siu-h an intoxicated intoxi-cated condition that he did not realize his danger. When the foreman of the level and workers tlus the miner's body from be-nearh be-nearh the mass of dirt and rock, Guisce was de.-id. A pint bottle, with less than an Inch of lirpinr left in it, was found in his Jumper pocket. Guisce was unmarried.
