Without a minute’s warning the roof of an old coal mine, located on the Guy Stockton farm three miles east of Augusta, caved in Monday afternoon about 3 o’clock, crushing to death Homer Cox and Frank Martin underneath tons of rock. The accident is one of the saddest which has ever occurred at Augusta. The two men, in company with Elmore Simon, had gone to the coal mine to take out coal for their own use. They had taken out what coal they wanted and Mr. Simon had just stepped out on the outside and the other two had sat down in the entrance and were talking when the accident occurred.
