Ed. Frey met with quite painful
accident last week Friday. He was
taking some cattle which Z. Pierce
had purchased from Bell and Stro-
snider to the scales, when his horse
slipped and fell, catching Frey's
right leg under him, and badly
bruising that member. Frey is now
at the Reymers residence, and al
though the physician declares no
bones are broken, his leg is a very
sore one, and will confne him to the
house Tor some time, probably.

Remove the cause of rheumatism-nt
outward application can. Take them

not acquainted in it, and in his en-
deavor to get out, after running into
the car and losing his light, became
bewildered and took the back track
to the station, and was there over
come by gas. There was about 100
pounds of powder stored in the
drift, but there is no evidence that
this amount exploded. A hole less
than six inches deep was made in
the bottom of the drift and less than
car OF dirt was knocked down.
The supposition is that nearly all
the powder burned TIP and that
cap exploded and set off the few re-
naming sticks, and that this flash
caused the gas which had generated
to explode. 1t is hardly probable
that 100 pounds OF powder exploding
at once would have done 50 little
damage. This is the first fatal acct
dent that has occurred in any of the
Mason Valley mines. 1t is bad
enough that one lite should be lost
but it is fortunate that no greater
loss occurred. The company feels
very bad about the matter and will
try to see that the injured employees
are well taken care of and lose no
time. The coroner's jury attached
no blame to anyone. The accident
is one of those affairs that is liable
to occur in any mine, and it only re-
mains to be hoped that those who
escaped so luckily this time have
learned a lesson in cautiousness
which they will not soon forget.
