Clark, Monte

Monte Clark, 30 years old, a miner whose home was at Baxter Springs Kansas, was instantly killed at 10 o'clock, forenoon when a large slab of stone fell upon him while he was at work in the Right Good Mine near Hockerville Oklahoma.

The boulder must have caught Mr. Clark while he was stooping over or slid into him, because his head was not crashed. His body received the full force of the impact and he probably received internal injuries which were fatal. Mr. Clark is survived by his widow and four children. The children are Clyde Clark, 9; Bertha Clark, 8; Dorothy Clark, 2; and Paul Clark, 18 months old. His parents, Mr. and Mrs Thomas Clark, live near Ottawa Kansas. Funeral arrangements will not be completed until after word has been received from them. The accident victim is a nephew of W. L. Bingham of Quapaw Oklahoma and a cousin of Roy Bingham of Picher. The body of Mr. Clark was removed from the mine to the parlors of the Todd undertaking company, of Picher Oklahoma, which has charge of arrangement for the burial.

T. W. Clark and family, old settlers, but now of Ottawa Kansas, where Mr. Clark has charge of a farm of 320 acres, belonging to W. I. Bingham, are about to return to that place, after attending the funeral of their son, Monte Clark, of Baxter Springs Kansas, who was killed in a mine near Hockerville Oklahoma last week.
