The recent accident at the Mem.

Armstrong and Morgan, Henson
were injured, should be lesson to
other mine workers, in the way OF
observing more care in their work.

on to some plsnks placed on a set
of timbers. His weight aided by
the impact broke the planks and
both men went TO the bottom.
Until steel construction is used in

men at least ought TO observe ordi-
