been a faithful employee of the
salt mining companies, which fol-
lowed each other in operating the
mines on Avery's Island In time
he became The chief of the miner
corps. On Tuesday morning the
giving away Of large quantity Of
salt, down in the mines, precipi-
tated an avalanche which caught
him and horribly crushed his
limbs. He was brought to the
A Ina House in this city and the

Of saving his life, amputated a
leg. The operation was performed
at about 4 o'clock in the after
noon, but the shock was greater
than he could bear. His remains
were taken back to the Island for
imterment.
