CAUGHT BY SAND SLIDE
IN LOS ANGELES RIVER
Two Workers Buried for Greater Part
of an Hour, but Finally Rescued
Without Being Seriously
Injured

While working in a sand bank near
Seventh street and the Los Angeles
river at $3.50 o'clock yesterday after
noon, Frank Burns, % years old. and
j. e. Lockhart, 30 years old, both
sand haulers, were caught in cave
in. Lockhart was completely covered
by the rush of sand and Burns was
buried up to his neck
Fortunately a number of other sand
haulers were near and these hurried
to the rescue. The digging out took
the better part of an hour.
AS soon as the men were freed from
the sand they were hurried to the re-
ceiving hospital.
The heavy press of the sand had
squeezed the imprisoned men rigor--
ousIy. Burns especially was in bad
way. He had been damned against
the front wheel of his wagon and
bruised about the chest and head.
Both men were taken to their room
ing place at 2212 East Second street.
They were not seriously hurt.
