stantly killed in Gold Hill by being caved
on last Saturday evening, and two sons
of Patrick Kinney, together with Johnny
Cook and Anthony Smith, We're severely
injured. The boys had constructed a
sort OF ''dug.out in a bank near the old
Segregated Belcher works, and were en-.
gagged in playing at mining when the
roof of the dug-out which had not been
timbered-caved in, precipitating about
two tons of earth upon the inmates Of
the den. Augustus Fox was felled to the
floor, and exclaimed as he fell, "Save
my brother Tom" The other boys, with
the exception OF Johnny Cook, aged Ii
| years, We're covered up by the mass OF
earth. Cock had his ankle broken, but
managed to get out, and crawling on his
hands and knees to house about 100
yards distant told what had happened
and tainted away. A rescuing party OF
miners was organized and the work OF
| digging out the victims was begun. Au-
gustus Fox was quite dead when found.
1t appears that he was stunned by the
cave, and falling face downward was
smothered by the dirt He was only
covered to the depth of about four inches.
Not bone was broken nor were there
any bruises on his body. The Cook boy
was standing alongside of Fox when the
crash came, and escaped with broken
ankle. The attending physician says
that it will be month before he will be
able TO be out on crutches, and it will be
several months before he will have en-,
tirely recovered. Anthony Smith lay
unconscious for about II hours, II was
found that he was not seriously injured,
no bones being broken, and it is expected
that he will DO all right IN few days
