was taking clay deposits from q hole
twenty feet deep. Hassel. overcome
by the intense heat, it is supposed, re-
leased his hold of the boom and before
his companion could save him fell into
the hole which was filed with water.
OWED AFTER HIM.

ing hurried to the mill and gave the
alarm. Workmen rushed to the scene
and several dived into the hole after
the unfortunate young man. Superin-
tendent Harry Bartholomew, of this
city, then dived into the pool and
