E. G. BELTS HURT IN ROYAL
GORGE COAL NINE

President E. c. Bettis OF the Royal
Gorge Coal Mining company. had his
left foot badly mashed by a dump car
while in one OF the lower levels Of
shaft No. 2 at the Royal Gorge mine
on Tuesday. Mr.. Belts In company
with the state mine inspector were
making a visit to the property when
the accident occurred, and. that the
victim escaped with his life. Is little
short Of the miraculous.
The inspector was making an ex-
animation OF one Of the rooms In q
near by drift when the affair took
place and knew nothing about the ac-
cident until several minutes after
wards. Shortly after the inspector
left the lamp which Mr.. Bettis was
carrying went out, leaving him in
complete darkness. He was without
matches to relight 1t and a hundred
yards from the shaft. While he was en-
deavoring to make his way to the
cage he heard a dump car coming
down the incline behind him and,
realizing that he would be run over,
and probably crushed to death un-
der its wheels unless he could find a
place Of refuge, he hurried on, hop
ing to come upon a cross-cut which
would permit him to step aside and
allow the car to go on.
He shouted as loudly as he could
for help. but nobody heard him and
he almost gave up In dispair as there
was not room for both In the passage.
and to stop the car. which was coming
down grade at about twelve miles an
hour, he knew was out Of the ques-
ton. In his extremity he backed up
against the wall as closely as he
could, expecting that when the Inn
pact came he would be thrown down
and perhaps killed. Happily his fore
bodings did not come true, although
the toes OF his left foot were run over
and crushed into bleeding mass Of
shapeless flesh.
Mr.. Betus says the anguish and
horror produced by the thought that
he was about to be killed caused
drops Of sweat to stand out on his
forehead al big az peas and that he
seemed to live q long time In the few
seconds he waited In the darkness for
the oncoming car. which he felt sure
would be bis finish. That he got on

appreciates that fact - keenly 90 Mr..

W/HO would be afraid of goose? Do we not jeer

person would sometime stand up to the attack of a
wild Canada gandcr when fully angcrcd At the
danger of its mate being disturbed he would
change his mind about the offensive powers of these
birds. The wing Of a wild goose is possessed of great
muscular strength, as indeed it must be to carry its
owner safely he hundreds of miles of land and
water which it traVcrscs every year. Stand near

half hour after such attack and have heard of
number of cases where persons arm rib was

of the force with which the blows be delivered
until he has felt them rattlng on his own ribs and
has pocketed his pride and fled in all haste These
are brave birds, and defend their homes and mates

Curiously enough, the herons assume

from such a bird, yet the creature is far

If it cannot rise quickly and get into fighting position
before the other bird strikes again, stands a chance
Of getting badly injured, The elimination of
these encounters can only be guessed at, as IN
