cend the shaft ON the bucket. It hav-
ing showed a little the night before,
the drum Of the whim was slippery
aud the brake was of no avail. As a
result, the men started for the bottom
at the rate of sixteen feet the first sec
ond and velocity increasing according
to the law of gravity. Will Sharon
had charge of the whlm, and as soon
as be saw the brake fail to hold the
Abucket he threw the machinery into
ear and. though the shock turned the
rse a sumersault and broke the
d-work of the within to fragments,
I'LL Rpeed of the descent of the two
men WAS not perceptibly checked.
MandS Qchoa sustained two sprained
ankles md some internal injuries.
Candilel Barreras had his leg broken
FIVE inchS Dove the ankle JOINT and
was cut adl the face and hands from
the falling Gable. The men undoubted-
ly owe their lives to Sharon's presence
r of mind in throwing the machinery
into gear.
