were digging under the bluff, between Union

earth fell in upon them. Three of them es-
capped without being touched, one received a
quantity of the dirt upon his leg, but was
not hurt, while the other man, a negro, re-
ceived a full load of 1t upon his breast,
crushing him down. He was taken to his
boardinghouse, but was denied admittance.
Then he was sent to the hospital, where he
was attended. 1t is thought he was inter
naIly injured. The bank that fell in was
that part of the bluff nearest the river.
About forty feet of the soil fell in.

to go to the corner OF Main and Madison
streets at once" was the message the tele-
phone brought the APPEAL at 8 o'clock yes

representative at that point, where he found
