William King Buried Under Earth Yet
Extricated Alive
William King had a narrow escape from
death yesterday morning. He was en-
gagged in digging treLch in an alley be-
tween Westlake avenue and Bonnie Brae
street when the earth caved in, completely
burying him.
King worked down in the ditch, throwing
the dirt out to Sam Kieranns, who would
remove the earth from the edge. Kier-
aims stepped on the portion under W ich
King was tunneling, and this extra veg mt
caused the dirt to give way and hide King
fcom view. The cries of Kieranns brought
helpers to the place, and after few min
utes of hard labor King was extricated
from his perlous position. HIS jaw had
been broken and he was badly bruised,
He was removed to the isters' hospital,
where DIR. Bryant attended him.
King has wifo and eight little children
living at SO7 san Julian street who are in
very destitute circumstances. When the
woman heard of the accident she ex-
pressed anxiety as to how they would be
able 10 procure the means to live. Her
embarrassment was removed by Con-
tractor Ramish, who very nobly told her
that her husbands pay would continue
while he was sick and that he would also
be cared for at the hospital.

For women, silver trappings extend to

thing that costs a nickel a pair. but it is

has place on the under side for your

A woman who saw the wedding gifts of
the Duchess of Marlborough told reporter
that pair of garter buckles in the coliec-
ton came from an intimate girl friend who
has much artistic genius. She did the
dukes features on two ivory discs and set
each one around with fine opals and bril-
liants, and attached the baubles to gor-
geous yellow garters.

The Lion RetaIiated

An exciting scene was witnessed at Bourg
a few days ago, during a performance of
lions in Salvatore menagerie. Three
young men presented themselves, and
asked permission to play game of cards
in the lions den during the representa-
ton. The request being granted, a table
was brought in, on which cards and cham
payne were placed, and the strangers be-
gan their game. Presently one of the ma
jestic brutes approached a player named
hauveau, and snuffed suspiciously at him.
The latter, probably wishing to "show off,
gave the animal push, The beast. re-
senting the liberty, knocked the audacious
stranger off his perch, and, seizng him
with his teeth, rolled him over and over.
Those presen' gave the young man up for
lost, but the lion tanner seized the brute
by the jaws and forced his mouth open,
thus allowing an opportunity for Chauveali
to scramble out of the cage, fortunately
more frightened than hurt, and on appear-
ing in the ring later on he was received
with loud acclamations by the spectators.

This kind assurance and liber Il confess

Neighbors SAID that his beat was good

fanatic where hs lived.
The man had become crazy on the sub.

had shown signs recently of insanity, the

sent to the county Jail. The mans name

Grant Still Missing,

There were no developments yesterday
n the disappearance of John Grant, the
contractor. His father-in-law,F. V. Berke,
is positive in the belief that he has met
with foul play. Mr.. Berke states that Mr..
Grant was too much of coward to have
committed suicide and he does not incline
to the theory that he left the city of his
own voliton, for the reason that he would
scarcely have deserted his boy. Mr.. G..
Stewart, the missing mans partner, has
seen or heard nothing from him. 1t is
stated however that Grant owed large
amount of money in the city and this lie the
cause of his going away.
