CevarrO Morales. . Mexican who
has been at work digging trenches
on the new sewer between Carson
and San Juan avenues. was caught
in a cave-in about four o'clock Mon
day afternoon and smothered to
death. The trench is only seven
feet deep. but Morales was knocked
down by the avalanche Of earth and
covered to a depth Of five feet. Half
dozen Of the trench employees
worked valiantly for twenty minutes
to release the unfortunate man. but
when found he was dead. Two more
Of the workmen were caught by the
same cave-in. one up to the kness.
while w. T. Gardner. Of Swink, was
buried to his armpits, but succeeded
in extracating himself.
How the accident occurred is a
mystery as the walls Of the trench
are almost Of solid shale, but it is
supposed there must have been a
gap somewhere in the formation,
that, weakened by the rains, caused
the slide.
Morales recently came here from
Mexico and is not known to any ex-
tent by his countryman hereabOuts.
He was about thirty-five years old,
and has wife who was visiting in
Trinidad on the day of the accident.
The funeral took place last Wednes-
