CAUGHT UNDER Dirt
and CRUSHED TO Death
Was William Boyer While Open
ing a Coal Mine on David
Brooks Farm

While attempting to open a coal
mine on the farm of David Brooks,
near Haynesville in the northern part
of Ohio county, early Monday morn
ing, William A. Boyer was caught
under cavern, and received in
juries which. resulted in death few
minutes after he was found.
Boyer had succeeded in getting an
opening in the side of the hill, where
he intended sinking the mine, and
was digging farther back under the
bank, when the accident happened.
The cave in caught him, pinioning
him to the ground, and he would
probably have died there but for the
chance passing of William Miller, a
farmer of that vicinity.
Miller was going to a neighbor's
house, and seeking to travel the
shortest route. went through the fields.
lance of the place where Boyer was
sinking the mine, he heard several
groans. Upon investigating, he found
Boyer under several feet of dirt. Mil
Ter was unable to release Boyer and
went to the home of Mr.. Brooks for
aid. After securing Mr.. Brooks, Mil
Ter returned to the mine and released
Boyer, but the latter was unconscious.
1t is not known just how long Boy
er had been pinioned down when
Miller rescued him. DR.. Mcdonald,
of Whitesville, was summoned but
when he arrived Boyer was too far
spent to be revived.
He was about "a years of age, and
had never been married, living a
hermit's life since his arrival In
Haynesville. He never let drop a
word that might give a clue as to
his former life, or any of his ances-
tors.

IN GAME
OF CRAPS.
Former Ohio County Man
Loses His Life.
Remains Brought to Old Home
In Deanfield, Where They
We're Inferred.

August Staples, a miner at Jackson
Hill coal mine, No. 4, near Shelburn,
Ind, was fatally shot by Charles Bur-
ton, a miner in the same mine, Satur-
day night at $3.50 o'clock and death
resulted an hour and half later.
The trouble arose during a crap
game, Burton accusing Staples of
owing him money made on the roll of
the dice Staples insisted that he did
not owe the money, and the argument
became heated. A blow passed, and
Burton, much the smaller of the two
men, pulled gun from his pocket and
fired three times. Staples fell and
Burton made his escape, but was cap
tured and held at Henderson Sunday
night.
IL is stated that Burton, who hailed
from Jellico Tennessee, and the dead
man who Is former resident of the
Deanfield Ohio county, vicinity got
into an argument recently, but that 1t
was thought that the difficulty had
blown over. Burton being a much
smaller man and naturally afraid of
Staples, armed himself with gun to
be prepared in case trouble was re-
newed between the two. 1t was also
stated that Staples, in company with a
friend, started to his home rather
early Saturday night, but that he and
the man with him. on finding that they
had only few pennies stopped few
minutes at the crap game. 1t was then
that Burton appeared and on getting
into the game, the argument over the
money came up.
Staples was 80 years old, and while
he had been absent for several years,
his former home was near Deanfield.
He had been married, his wife being
dead. A son, nine years old survives
and lives with relatives near Philpot.
The remains were brought to Dean
field where they were inferred at
Rose Hill, near that place, by the
side of his wife. He had relatives in
Greensboro.

BOOSTER TRIP
IS ABANDONED.
0wensboro Business Men Refu-
sed to Give
Aid.

owensboro. yK., Aug, 31.-The Boos
ter trip that had been planned for
September q and 20 to be run from
Owensboro to Irvington, Hartford
jacksonville and Henderson, has been
abandoned for the present time, as
the committee appointed by the Bust
ness Mems association, after making
three attempts to stimulate interest
and to secure support of the business
men to justify the running of the
train, has failed.
A thorough canvass of the city
was made by a committee or repre-
sentative men, who were greatly en-
Unused over the thought of the good
that such trip would have done
for the city. but the proposition was
met in many places by the coolest
reception and could not induce many
of the business men of greensboro to
take an interest in the train.
~ huhioei vi peopie anu DuSlHeSS
organizations of the city did appre-
ciate the good results to be derived
from the running of such a trip and
were liberal in their support, donat-
ing not only to the financial end of
the affair, but also boosting the prop
osition by talking of the good it
would do. The B. NJ. A. expressed
its appreciation for the support of
these people and concerns.

KIDNAPPED
At FUNERAL.
Kentucky Child Stolen at
Stephensport La.
Father Spends Weeks In Hope
less Search Without
Avail.

PriAceton. Ky. Aug, 30-Robbed
OF his helpmeet by death and of his
only child by kidnappers, Texie Ali
son. a prosperous farmer has return
ed TO a cherries home here. after
vain search through six States.
Little Gladys Allison was abduct-
ed while returning from the funeral
Of her mother three weeks ago at
Shreveport, La, and since then her
father, bowed with grief at the loss
of his wife and almost frantic over
his additional misfortune, has been
unable to find a single trace of the
child's whereabouts.
He is not an unusually rich man,
and he does not believe that the little
girl vas taken in the hope of secur-
ing a reward for her return, and be-
sides, the kidnappers have given him
no chance TO pay a ransom. Unable
to eat or sleep through worry for
his daughter. the man sits in his
HOiuS' hOPihS a6aiuol uOpc ludJ Tue
police of some town may send him
word that the child has been found.
Mrs. Allison, the girls mother hqd
been visiting friends in Shreveport
when she was taken suddenly i'll, and
before her husband and child reached
the Louisiana city, she was dead.
Mr.. Allison closed his Princeton
home and with his daughter journey
ed TO Shreveport for the sad pur-
pose of burying his wife.
1t was on the return from the ceme-
terry that the little girl. who is only
ten years old and remarkably pretty.
was first missed by her father. She
rode from the burying-ground in
separate carriage, and 1t is thought
that the abductors, in the guise of
mourners, entered the hack and or
dered the driver to take the party TO
a distant part of the city. Whatever
happened, the girl disappeared. and all
trace of her has been lost.
The Shreveport authorities have
been unable to secure the slightest
clew, and the affair is as much a mys-
terry as on the day of the disappear
ance
A strange automobile which was
seen speeding out of the city the night
of the abduction, and which the police
have been unable to account for is
thought to have figured in the case.
but positive evidence of any kind
is lacking.
The girls father is of the opinion
that his daughter was taken to serve
some sinister purpose of the kidnap-
ers. Every city and country morgue
through the South has been visited,
and every report of the finding of I'M
identified bodies has been thoroughly
| Investigated by the father of the child.
He has jounrneyed through Louisi-
ana Mississippi, Texas Arkansas, Kan
sas and Missouri and has communi-
Gated with the police of every large
city in the country, Failure has at
tended all effort, however, and he
was finally forced to abandon the
quest and return home broken heart
