PARK CITY, Dec. 1S.-A cave in oc-
CURED at 10:45 o'clock this morning at
the Crescent mine by which John
O'Hogan lost his life and Charles H.
Provost sustained injuries which will
probably prove fatal. Both men were
working on the upper level adjusting
some timbers when they were caught
and buried by the falling debris.
O'Hogan was dead when he was taken
out. No bones were broken and the
doctors say he died from strangulation.
Provost was alive but very badly
bruised and hurt internally
Doctors Wilson and Brady were
quickly on the scene, but could do
nothing for O'Hogan. Provost, who
belongs to Midway, was made as COM
Portable as possible but his injuries are
such that his recovery is very doubt
ful.
Hogan was a. young man whose
father and mother reside at the Park.
The body was taken to Richardson's
undertaking parlors and the funeral
Will take place on Friday morning from
the Catholic church. Deceased was a.
member of the Ancient Order OF Hi
beTnfans.

Gratis Of Park City are devising ways
and means to keep up the organiza-
ton. Names are now being solicited by
a committee to insure its success. The

strated the Republicans have no lead

desire of the men who are enlisting
their best efforts in the matter to keep
up the organization and be in a posi-
ton to enter the arena next election
thoroughly equipped. Enough names
are now pledged to organize a club and
rent a hall when weekly meetings will
be held during the winter. Newspa-

diligently of the situation. For a
trif1ing sum a great amount of good
may be accomplished and be a means
of disseminating Democratic principles
among our people. Though the year
has been disastrous to the party, it
has not been vanQuished; defeat only
gives it renewed vitality, embracing all
that is good, noble and grand. The
step is well taken and may it bear the
fruits of reward-success.

name is W. E. Boyd
The old Democratic headquarters is
now tenanted by MeSsrS. Bush 6,
