A.H. Ager, an old miner of this city, met death in the mines this afternoon by falling from a stope. Ager and Allen have been working a lot on the Center Creek land near the cave. When the men returned to work today at noon Ager went into the ground while the other men went to the blacksmith shop after tools. When the men returned with the tools they heard Ager yell and supposing he was hurt went down to him. He told them to get him out if they had to drag him out. He was dead before they reached the top. It is supposed he was on the stope and fell off, striking a boulder in the descent which broke his neck. He was brought to Lowe Furniture company's room where Coroner Whitly was summoned and em-paneled a jury which had not yet rendered a verdict when we went to press. Deceased leaves a wife.
{The above was taken from a Webb City, Mo. paper and was handed us by J.H. Trowbridge. Mr. Ager will be remembered by a number of Springdale people as he conducted a meat market here several years ago.}
