Fatal Accident In On,onagon County.

Ontonagon county has lost another
old resident 10 the person OF MIR. Peter
Bruneau aud it happened In this wise:
Kaolite crops out on the banks oil the
Ontonagon river, which at this place
are very steep and about $50 high. Mr.
L. Emmon lately received an order for a
carload of kaolite and with few neigh
bors started out to Gil it. They built a
slide up from the river, some sixty feet
TO the vein. and then shoveled down the
clay TO a sleigh on the ice below. The
clay was cut back square 80 as not TO al
low any, reuse or material to hang over
head. The straight wall soon reached a
height OF twenty to twenty-five feet.
On Tuesday afternoon, blast, dyna-
mite beng used, had been fired in the
clay, which left large hole in the bank
and a large mass OF kaolite was observed
to be hanging overhead. Mr.. Bruneau,
who with William Edmond was working
below, took long bar and tried TO Dry
il down, but as it could not be moved,
they thought they would be sale to
climb up and clear away from the blast,
but no sooner had they started TO do so
than the huge mass, weighing probably
20 tons. slid out of the bank and striking
Mr.. Bruneau on the head crushed him to
the ground shapeless mass OF flesh; the
shovel which Will Edmond had in his
hands was snapped in two, but iortu-
nately he was too far of for the mass to
strike him.
Mr.. Bruneau was born at Three Rivers.
nta- Montreal, about Sc years ago. He
went to reside at Rockland about the
year 1860, and has lived there eyer since.
He leaves a wife and large family behind
him. He will be sincerely mourned by
the whole community by whom he was
much respected. The funeral took place
Last Friday.

transactions with the bank with tho
utmost sang froid on the witness stand.
He admitted that he ''kited' checks
with all the Denver banks, and took
upon himself all the blame for the fail
ure of the Commercial bank, in 1898, in
consequence of his large overdrafts,
amounting to $l25,0O0. He said that
his affairs and accounts were SO in

with his schemes.
Both Dow and Nc Clurken are charged
in the Indictment with being the prin.

an accessory. 1t is said that if the jury
