Shullsburg Local; On Wednes-
day afternoon VIM. Troy, a miner
over 60 years old, fell down a forty
foot shaft. The old gentleman has
been mining alone on Maurice
Foley's ground and has been en-
gagged in raising his ore to the
ground from the bottom of the
shaft. After filling his tub he
would climb to the top and wind it
up. The rim of the opening and
the top of the ladder had become
covered with ice and in an attempt
to descend he slipped and fell to
J tire bottom, the back Of his head
| stirling the side Of the shaft in his
descent, making an ugly scalp
wound. After recovering from the
shock of the fall, bleeding from
the nose and ears and terribly
bruised, the old man succeeded in
climbing up the ladder to the top
of the ground aud started for Mr.
Foley's house about four or five
hundred yards distance. When
half way over the dista nee his
strength gave out and he fell help
less on the snow, and was shortly
afterwards found aud carried to
the house and DR.. Hayden sum
moned, who dressed his wounds.
The doctor does not believe his in
juries will prove fatal, but they are
very serious. 1t was a miraculous
escape from instant death.
