old son, Alfred Gigure. The action is in
tort to recover for an assault alleged to
have been made by Dr.. Fiske upon the

fits, to which he was formerly subject.
The plaintiff claims that the boy had
been free from being attacked with the
fits for some time prior to the assault,
and that they were manifested again
soon after the assault

Overcome by Fumes of Gas.

Rossland, b. c., July "a fatal acct
don't occurred in the Velvet mine. The
victim was j. Cummings a pump man
who came from Northport, Wash. There
are two shifts working in the crosscut on
the 250- foot level. The last shift went
off duty at II o'clock, midnight, and Cum
mings' duties compelled him to go on at
II o'clock A round of shots were fred
at II o'clock, and one of these failed to
go off. 1t was not part of Cummings
duty to do it, but he went in the drift
for the purpose of splitting hole. The
end of the drift is about 50 feet from the
bottom of the shaft. He rung six bells
for the purpose of notifying the engineer
that the blast was about to be fired. The
engineer waited 10 minutes for the one
bell which is a signal for him to hoist.
Then, thinking that something was wrong,
he summoned the mine foreman. The lat
ter went down the shaft and into the drift
in search of Cummings The latter was
found in an unconscious condition, lying
on his face on a pile of dirt about half way
from the face of the drift. The foreman,
who was beginning to be affected by the
gas, lifted Cummings and carried him to
the shaft, where he died Immediately.
