Henry Litteral, 30 years old, of Royal Heights, was killed by a falling boulder in a drift of the Crutchfield Mine near Crestline at 10:30 this morning. The rock fell from the roof, fracturing his skull. Litteral, who is survived by a widow and child, had been employed at the mine about a year. Another employee, Earl Hostetter, who had been working beside him, had left the spot for a brief time and returning, found his partner dead. The body was taken to the Clark undertaking company establishment at Galena Kansas.
