YESTERDAYS ACCIDENTS.
A List of Happenings to Life and
Limb.


A peculiar accident occurred yester-
day afternoon near the Diamond mills
on Nineteenth avenue north. A young
man, evidently a farmer, drove up to the
mill and asked permission to take away
a load OF sawdust. He was directed to
the huge pile near the mill, but warned
to have q care and not get too close to
the heap, for it was liable to cave i'll at
any moment. In spite of warning
the young man drove his team close to
the heap and busted himself in getting
load. He was in hurry, and shoveled
away at great rate. Suddenly the
mammoth pile of sawdust began to
sway and waver, and then it came
down like an avalanche of snow.
The farmer was buried fully ten feet
below the stuff, and. struggle as he
would, he could not eXtrIcate himself.
When removed by mill hands he was
dead. The team was uuhurt. and, at
the orders CT Coroner Spring, was taken
TO Durname's stables, whilst the body
went to the county mOrgue. There was
nothing in the dead mans pockets to
identify him; neither were there any
marks on his linen. He was about six
feet in height, had short brown hair and
sparse beard, and was clad in blue
striped trousers, fur coat, spotted with
yellow, and red WOODEN mittens. The
team was one bay and one white. The
brides are Ornamented with red tasselS.

ing Identification.
