Lamb, George B.

George B. Lamb, 45 years old, and his son, Frederick Lamb, 14 years old were asphyxiated from foul air in a shaft which they were sinking in the west section of Baxter Springs, Wednesday, according to reports received in Miami. It had been the custom of the son to work on top of the shaft and the father in the bottom loading tubs. Late Wednesday they failed to return home and a search was started for them. Men shouted down the shaft, but received no answer. Firemen attempted to descend the mine but were driven back by the foul gasses. Later one succeeded in climbing down and he found the body of the father. An hour later the son's body was recovered.
