Mr. David Peebles, 14 (sic) years of age, son of
John Peebles of Lonaconing, was killed at Old Coney mine yesterday, being run over by a trip of mine cars. He usually worked with his father, but yesterday was filling in for a “trapper” who opens and closes a trap door for coal cars. It is supposed that he fell asleep on the
tracks.
