CRUSHED TO DEATH.
William ]. Mcdaniel Instantly
Killed Last Tuesday.

On Tuesday morning of this
week III the Alamosa canon where
the reservoir comany has begun
to run the tunnel for their waste
gate. one of the most terrible ac-
cidents ever recorded in the his
tory OF our county occurred. and
marked a tragedy that has saddened
the hearts of the entire commun-
ity.
Joseph Edwards was the only
eye witness to the accident. al
though Howard Middleton was
with them but happened to be
facing the other way when the
huge rock fell. The account as
given by Mr.. Edwards before the
coroners jury is as follows: AT
6:55 Tuesday morning VIII Nc
Daniel, Howard Middleton and
myself went to the tunnel to 90 to
work, the night shift having come
off few moments before. While
the tunnel was not yet under
ground there was an excavation of
1about four feet and the night shift
had put in round of shots and
had blown down considerable rock.
Will took a pick and started over
the pile, with the intention of pick
ing down all the rock and dirt he
could before we started drilling
for another shot. just as he got
under the edge of the tunnel and
began picking. | saw a huge rock
move that would weigh a ton or
more and which was just above
him. l yelled to him to look out
but it fell that second. killing him
Instantly. The rock was not more
than foot above his back before
it fell and consequently he had no
time whatever to get out of the
WY. The big rock rolled OIL OF his
nndv but he was covered over with
quantity of small rock and dirt"
The body was brought to La
ra that evening and Judge Nc
Grmiff, acting coroner, summoned
q Jury but the inquest could not
lie held until Wednesday morning
:. District Attorney Pitcher was
Unable to arrive sooner owing to
D ne train from the south being

ing rock and putting in dam at

miles this side of the forks. could
not have begun to carry the half
of the water. Had not this dam
been completed before the recent
thaw. most of our farms west of

1 say I've come to the same old town.
With its way-up folk and it's folk way

And stand once more in the same old

And walk again on the same old beat
That leads away tc quiet dell
And a grassy bank 1 once knew well.
'Tis the same old town. but older
grown,
And sights and sounds at first un-

Return again to their wonted track,
And all seem glad that I've come back.
The same old trees fling out their
shade;
The same old man and the same old
maid.

To speak to rlae as l pass by,
Still worry on, but still they stay.
