cavern was imminent. Two Of the men
Immediately got into the bucket and were
drawn up before tho cave.in took place, but
had scarcely reached the TOP when the tim
beers gave way and twenty feet Of the shaft
caved in with deafcning noise.
When the dust had partially cleared away
tho workmen succeeded In reaching and
rescuipg two more of tho men, but efforts
to reach the 9Th man, VIM. T. Brown,
were unsvailing. The unfortunate man
Caught Beneath large Piece of

he could be seen. The beam protected him
from being crushed outright, although q
portion of his body was buried under ten
feet of earth.
From O'Clock In the evening until 2
o'clock Sunday morning the efforts TO reach
tho buried man continued, while his groans
and pitoous appeals could still be heard but
could be answered with little encourage
ment. After midnight Saturday night tho
buried man
Appeared TO Have Become Insane
