Tony Bauson, an Italian timberman,

shalt, Hecla. Bauson. with a party OF
timbermen, was working in a stope in
the 35th level. when he was struck on the
head by large piece OF hanging rock,
which fell from above. The injury was
thought very serious by his partners and
Bauson was taken to surface az soon as
possible and removed to the Calumet
and Hecla hospital. He suffered a great
deal all the way to the hospital from loss
OF blood and expired just as he was being
taken into the hospital.
Mine Inspector Hall examined the
ground in the vicinity OF the accident and
in all probability an inquest over the re
mains will be held this afternoon.
As the special train over the Mineral
Range railroad was returning from
Houghton yesterday afternoon, John
Lang, young man employed on sur
face at the South Hecla, fell from the
rear platform and sustained serious in
juries. The accident occurred about |
half mile on the other side OF the Os-
ceola and the train was going at high
rate OF speed as il had to pass the regu- |
ar passenger coming from Calumet at |
the Osceola crossing. Lang, with
couple OF boys, was standing on the /
platform Of the rear car, when his hat
was seen TO blow off. tie made a grab
to catch it and fell off, landing on his
head against a stump.
The boys ran in to the car and informed
some of the passengers that a man had
fallen off the train. The bell-rope was
pulled. but the train was almost to Os-
ceola before it stopped. Some OF the
passengers ran back to the place where
the accident occurred and Others rode
back on the regular passenger train.
The special backed down to the place |
and Lang was put on the tram. He | {
was unconscious and remained 80 for
some time. The ambulance met the u
train at the Calumet depot and he was c
taken to the Calumet and Hecla hospital. N
surgical examination revealed the fact | v
that no bones were broken, but he re- v
'eived serious wounds about the face and il
was badly shaken up. He was at the n
hospital fully an hour before he regained | T
and was removed to his | Ell
Iome late in the evening. The physi-
ians state that unless some unforeseen
evelopment shows up, his injuries are tf
OF very serious. la
Everything was done by the railroad th
eople as quickly as possible and no a
lame whatever can be attached to them II
Dr. the accident. ra
Robert Moore and a companion from
he Lake Superior waterw orks came to -
led Jacket early last evening. When -
hey were driving down Pine street at
he Seventh street crossing the horse
uddenly gave a lurch and started down o,
he street. About hall way down the | n,
block the horse turned mn to the sidewalk | u,
md both men jumped from the rig. b.
Moore landed on his eide and severely in ri
ured bis left arm, tearing the skin off al | h
most down to the bone, but his compan-
on escaped with few scratches. Anum-
Der OF children were standing on the side
walk and one boy was struck by the rig t.
and sent head over heels over the iron &
railing which is on top of the walk. He b
landed on his back and was not hurt in n
the least. The horse continued on a c
dead gallop down the sidewalk until it v
reached Greenshield's livery barn where '
1t was stopped. Mr. Moore was taken
to DIR. Hollis Office by passing rig
where his arm was dressed. The horse
has run away on several previous occa- Z
sione and started without any apparent
provocation. A few days work on the
Lake Linden stage will probably tame
the fiery steed. II
