Man is Buried
in Cave-in for An
Hour, but Lives
Dennis Todd, Laborer at South
Omaha, Has Narrow Escape
While at Work.

Dennis Todd. a colored laborer, residing
at 2645 Y street, South Omaha, was buried
alive for upwards of an hour when a
sewer at Twelfth and Bancroft streets, in
which he was working, caved in, a ton or
more of rocks and dirt covering his entire
body. The man was finally rescued and
will suffer no i'll effects from his imprison-
ment.
The sewer in which Todd was at work is
being dug along Bancroft street. At the
point where Todd was at work the depth
was but six feet, but the man was in a
dirt from the bottom, when. without warn
ing. one side Of the excavation caved in,
completely covering Todd.
Todd's body was covered with from four
to five feet Of dirt, but his head had but
a foot or SO Of covering. Through some
mistake the men who rushed to the rescue
started working at the wrong end and the
result was that Todd's feet were uncov-
cred some time before his head. The
ground which had caved in was partially
frozen, being in the nature Of a crust, and
all the while the rescue was in progress
Todd was able to converse with his fellow
workmen, who gave words OF assurance
and comfort.
For a time it was thought Todd would be
su~ffocated, as his voice became weaker
and weaker. but he was finally brought "a
air and revived. DR.. McCrann Of South
Omaha was m and attended him
