CURED last evening on the South Side
mining ground that completely swallow

water was sufficiently lowered. These
men were warned of the impending
danger by cracking noise of the earth
beneath them and FASTENED out of the
mill sufficient distance to escape going
down with it,
The ground is still caving and it is
feared the loss will be greater The plant
is owned by Congressman Bowersock
and other gentlemen of Lawrence, Kan,
and it alone is total loss of about SIS, 900.
