The young man was in the mining can at the top of the shaft when he grasped a "live" wire. The shock threw him from the can and he plunged the full distance to the bottom of the shaft. The youth is survived by his parents, and six brothers and sisters, under 15 years old, as follows: Beatrice Daniel, Elmer Daniel, Helen Daniel, Margie Daniel, Lloyd Daniel and Bert Daniel.

The body was taken to the morgue of the Todd undertaking company, of Picher. Funeral services will be conducted from the residence at 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Burial will be at Seneca, Missouri.
