James Woliver, of Baxter Springs Kansas, 30 years old, a shoveler, was injured so badly by a falling slab while at work in the ground of the Lucky O. K. Mine at Hockerville Oklahoma, at noon today that he died within thirty minutes without regaining consciousness. He was married, but it is not known if he had other relatives. The body was taken to the parlors of the Porter M. Clark undertaking company where it will be prepared for burial. No further arrangements have been made.

The funeral of James Woliver, who was killed last week at the Lucky O. K. Mine, was held Sunday at the Baptist church at 1:30 pm, the Rev. Ozro McKnight of Baxter Springs Kansas officiating. A large crowd of friends and acquaintances assembled to pay this last tribute. A quartet including Mrs. E. E. Moore, Mrs. Claude Taulman, William M. Thomas, of Miami, and the Rev. E. C.

There were beautiful flowers and almost the entire congregation accompanied the mourners to the G.A.R. Cemetery, Miami Oklahoma, where interment was made. Mr. Woliver was 26 years of age, and leaves a wife and four-year-old son, Sidney Woliver; a brother, Otho Woliver, of Picher Oklahoma, besides a large circle of friends.
