A FATAL CAVE.
Jerry Hart Killed by a Cave in
Niger Rayine.

Yesterday afternoon at about balf-
past one o'clock Jerry Hart was killed
by cave of gravel in placer claim
cla' IN in Niger Ravine, owned by
John Dunn and his step father, Mr..
Alb. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson, John
Dunn and Jerry were at work in the
claim when the cave occurred. Will
son and Dunn were fUrther from the
breast and we re not caught, although
Wilson had narrow escape, as his
left leg was covered and his boot WAS
pulled off in extricating himself.
Jerry WAS completely covered by
heavy mass Of loose gravel, and al
though it was but short time before
he was dug out, it was only his dead
body which was recovered.
Accounts of the accident spread
rapidly. and a large crowd gathered
IN q very sEort time 10 teDder thelr
services. His mother heard the
dreadful news, and arrived at the
scene in a state of wild and uncon-
trolable grief, before preparations
for taking the body home could be
completed. Her heart-broken cries
as she knelt beside her dead boy
moved many to tears in their unavail-
ing sympathy for her anguish.
Poor Jerry was one Of the steadiest
and most industrious of our young
men. He had quiet, obliging dis
position which made him many
friends who will sadly mourn his un-
timely end. His grief-strickeu pa
rents meet with universal sympathy
in their bereavement.
