atty of the act, as applicable TO 'ntracts

doubt how the Court will stand, although

The Court on Monday will announce
several other cases, and will then end the

Buried Alive.

It is favorite amusement among the
smaller boys, says the Detroit FTee FTeSS
of the goth inst, to burrow in the sand
banks in parts of the city. Huge caves
or holes are excavated by the little fell
lows, sometimes to a long distance into
the bank. but in no instance has the cav
ing in of the treacherous sand ever
caused anything like the serious accident
which occurred last evening, the 18th,
when a party of children ranging from
five to eight years, lost their lives In one
of these traps. For several days, during
play hours, these boys had been engaged
in excavating tunnel, and at the mo-
ment of the accident three of the boys,
named respectively Rice, Barnes and
Rusche, were in the hole at the time,
while two others, Johnny Slack and Lasha
Morris, Were on the outside. 1t seems
that the three boys became aware that the
earth was caving, and endeavored to es-
cape and it is thought probable that they
did succeed in backing out of he tunnel,
but at that moment were caught by a
large mass of sand sliding down from the
top of th3 bank, which covered them COM
pletely to the depth of about three feet.
The fourth boy, James Morris, was also
partially covered, but, with the assistance
of Johnny Slack, succeeded in extricating
himself from a living tomb.
After considerable effort the bodies OF
the three unfortunate youths were found
with their faces downward and life ex-
tinct.
A singular circumstance is related in
connection with the sad catastrophe. An
elderly brother of little Lesha Rusche, a
bright boy of about ten years, died about
a year ago. He was very dearly loved by
the household, and though the sffiiction
was less sudden and sharp than the pre-
$780,, ~, ur-unse III the presence
of the family circle, their grief was
poignant and abiding. 1t is related of
him that just before passing away he told
them that his little brother would soon
follow, that he would be buried in the
sand, and it is said that this death bed
declaration has been the source of CON
slant uneasiness and anxiety to his mother
ever since. The sad verifcation of the
premonition by the sudden and tragical
death of the younger, as foretold, falls
upon her with crushing force, and her
agenizing grief as she bore hOmeward the
lifeiess body of her darling child was such
as to bring sympathiZing tears to the eyes
of the stoutest-hearted spectator. With
the uadefnable forebodiug of a fond
mothers heart as often and again she had
painfully pondered her dying boys pro-
phetic vision so suddenly and so terribly
confirmed, the blow was almost too much
for her tottering reason to bear.
