Condolences

Pioneer Miner

J.T. Bird, Sr. one of the substantial business men and property owners of Evanston, came to Kemmerer Wednesday following his receipt of news of the explosion.  Mr. Bird was very much interested, having spent 50 years of his life working in the mines, in most all positions, and for a time served as state mine inspector.  Mr. Bird was present at the Almy mine explosion, which killed over 90 in 1905.  Like everyone else Mr. Bird's heart went out to the bereaved of Kemmerer and Frontier.  He returned to Evanston yesterday.
