at once to his relief and attempted to get him
out without digging, but this they were un-
able to do. Carter was unconscious all the
time, and the men then set to work with their
shovels and dug him out. While this was
going on, he revived and advised the men
what to do with him and where to dig to
avoid more injury. He was taken to the
hospital in the ambulance and while he has
no bones broken, the doctors at the hospital
have little hope OF his recovery.

TYSON HEIRS.
John B, Tyson, of WOodlawn, Makes
Inquiry In Australia.


John b. Tyson, of Woodlawu. this county,
prospective heir of James Tyson, the multi
millionaire, who died iu December last in
Australia intestate did not take 50 roseate Il
v}cw OF his prospects rs some OF the other
claimants in Maryland. and to obtain at least
reliable information on the suli"ct he wrote
to the solicitors for the administrators of the
Tyson estate at Melbourne, Australia. He
has received reply. which effectively bursts
the bubble OF wealth which has been drifting
about the imagnations OF many eager pros
pectiye hels.
Tho letter is dated 12O William street, Mel
bourne, Juno G. 1899, and is from Messrs
Blake * Riggall, of that city, solicitors. 1t
is as follows:
"John B. Tyson, ESQ, Woodlawn, Nd, U.
S. A.
Dear Sr:-James Tysons estate. Your
letter of April 6, addressed to the city post
master, Melbourne, has been handed to us.
''We are the solicitors for the administra-
tors of dcceased's Victorian estate.
Deceased died December last inestate,
leaving assets in this colony New South
Wales and Queensland, worth about two and
a-half million pounds sterling.
Deceased came out with his parents
Gathers name was William Tyson to Aus
tralia from England when he was very
young and remained in the colonies until he
died.
"The only persons entitled to a share in
his estate under the law in force here are a
sister-Frances Shell, who resides in New
South Wales-and the children living at
the death OF his deceased brother and sister
All the nephews and nieces are known with
the exception OF the children Gf any OF de-
ceased's sister Margaret, who was born In
1908 and was left in England when deceased's
parents came to Australia"
BLAKE Il RIGGALL.
This letter would seem to put an effective
quietus to the hope Of harvest of dollars, but
in all probability the prospect and possibility
OF success will lure many to give up good
money in pursuit OF the phantom.
