safe by miners.
The two pIv brothers were engaged
in chambeiing out IL portion of the tun
mel and Mowitz was standing near them
when the upper portion caNed in, entire
~ covering Joseph and partially bury
ing Harris Day, Mowitz fortunately ea-
capped the falling mass. He at once set
to work and soon dug them both out.
His cries for assistance were promptly
responded to by some men near at hand
and the crushed and mangled men were
removed to their cabin. Messengers
were at once dispatched for DR. Flick of
this place, and for DR.. Crandall of Rock
ervillc. Ii was soon found that Joseph
Day had a leg broken, and had sustained
such severe consussion of the chest and
lungs that he expired the following
morning before the arrival OF DR.. Flick.
Harris Day was bent double blythe mass
of earth, and the injuries received have
produced complete PARALYSIS Of all the
lower parts Of the body. The swelling
is Sc great at present that the Doctors
could not determine whether the iniur-
les received will prove fatal or moi. The
man Is young. and having an iron consti-
tuition may pull through. Harris Day
was an Englishman about 80 years Old,
and leaves Il wife and one child in
Grand Island, Nebraska. where both
brothers came from to the Hills. His
sad fate will be Il warning to miners, to
use every precaution in securing the
safety Of life, while working in drifts.
