After sitting in the engineer's chair for a few minutes he was found to be near death and Doctor Lazenby of Treece Kansas was called, but the young man died before assistance could reach him. The body was removed to the morgue of the Todd undertaking company, of Picher. Moore was boarding with his sister, Mrs. King, at Treece Kansas while working in the mines. Robert Moore, a brother, arrived within a few hours from Smithfield Missouri, where their mother, Mrs. Jasper Moore, resides. Burial will be at Carl Junction, Missouri, Friday.
