Trench Digger Narrowly Escapes Death
in Excavating a Sewer.

Anton Johnson. laborer employed in
digging out a trench for new sewer on
Seneca street. just below Second. was
caught underneath a mass of earth yester-
day morning at $50 and miraculously es-
capped death. He was throwing out loose
earth. when without a moments warning
he was knocked down and completely
buried by masses of sand and hardpan

dirt was all away from Johnson's head.
and not a moment too soon, for the breath
had nearly left his body. His face was
blue, and presented an awful appearance
when brought TO view. Blood was trick
ling down his cheeks, and it was some
seconds before he could breathe easily.
DR.. Coe was sent for. and when he arrived
the workmen had the injured man nearly
uncovered. The doctor found his pulse
steady and respiration good.
After the earth was all thrown off IL was
discovered that Johnson was pinned in by
a plank. When the slide occurred the low
er timber slid underneath and the top tim
Der caught Johnson's foot and side. In
order 10 get him out ii was necessary TO
saw this plank in two places, which was
necessarily slow work.
The patrol wagon was in waiting. and
took the injured man 10 the Seattle Cen
eral hospital When being placed on the
stretcher he asked a fellow workman TO
tell his wife that he was all right. and
would he home in a few hours. At the hos
pital DIR. Coe examined Johnson thorough
~ and found that his right lung had been
affected by the large amount of earth that
piled on top OF him. but otherwise he was
uninjured.
The work of putting in the sewer is be-
ing done by A. J. Bumgarduer, who has
the contract for paving Second street.
Johnson applied to Mr.. Bumgardner for
work, and was put on yesterday morning
for the first time. He was an experienced
hand at the business. He is married, and
