About 9 o’clock yesterday (Thursday) morning, Giacomo (James) Fassero of Jackson Gate, was i nstantly killed in the Oneida mine. He and another miner were at the 300 levels cutting a tank, and Fassero stepped to the shaft to ring for the skip to stop at that level to allow his companion to ascend. This was the last seen of him until pieces of his body were found in the shaft and the sump 1700 feet below. It is believed that the ascending skip caught him and dragged him up the shaft a few feet, killing him instantly, the dead body then falling to the sump below. A piece of his shirt and some blood were found on the skip when it reached the mouth of the shaft.Deceased leaves a wife and seven children in Jackson Gate and two brothers in the state of Washington. He was a member of the Italian Benevolent Society, the Druids and the Foresters. He was about 34 years of age, a native of Italy, and had resided in this country 15 years. The funeral will be held next Sunday, probably at 10 o’clock a. m. The bereaved family has the sympathy of the entire community.Funeral of Henry A. Peek.
