OLD ORCHARD, July IT. 1884.
About $50 O'Clock this afternoon a large crowd
was seen fastening toward the building, used by
West & Calderwood, the bakers of Biddeford. 1t
soon became known that the occasion of the sud
den gathering was the fact that man had been
buried beneath the walls of a large brick oven
The oven was built directly upon the sand, which
made the foundation very insecure. Mr. Abel
Nathan, mason of Biddeford, was inside the oven
shoveling sand and otherwise at work upon it when
the sand fell in and the walls Of the oven caved in
upon Mr.. Nathan and buried him completely out of
sight. His cries attracted the attention of the men
in the vicinity, who soon rescued him from his
perilous situation. Mr.. Nathan was very much
bruised and exceedingly weak, after his ncarcera-
ton. physician from a neighboring hotel was
called who advised his being carried to his home in
Biddeford. He was therefore taken SO that place
on the $50 train. Although hurt quite badly, the
full extent of his injuries could not be ascertaned
Whether or not he RECEIVERS developments will
