Just a year ago O'Neill went back

meeting and spent a night at the
newsboyss lodging house In Fourth

Couchman bethought himself to eat a
sandwich and then have good, home

called for the ham sandwich.

The pie was wonderful improve

it and walked out. Then a special

Couchman brought suit for $4,000

cident which could we'll have cost
him his life. In some way the
horse which he was riding stumb-
led and fell. throwing him against
q sharp object which struck him
in the forehead rendering him un-
conscious. It appeared at the
time when Tower was found the
horse had made many efforts to
get up but on account of the coat
which had caught in the saddle as
he fell the horse was pulled down
each time. Had the horse re-
gained his feet the result could
have been fatal as the pony was a
bronch and an outlaw. Tower
was found by Parks a short way
from the house of neighbor with
whom he had been talking shortly

working underground near the
entrance when they were warned
of huge mass of coal that was
about to fall. In making their
escape up a ladder one of the
workman fell back against Saylor,
causing them both to fall just as
ten ton of coal came down bury
ing one to the hips and Saylor to
the shoulders. One hour and a
half of hard work freed the an-
fortunate man from his burden it
taking. five men with crowbars to
lift the last chunk which pinned
him down. No sooner had he
been dragged to safety than twice
the amount which had fallen came
down in the same place and it
would have been impossible to
have saved him from smothering.
He was brought to town but on
account of DR.. Gorden being gone
DR.. Ray of Garrison was called
and after a few days of rest
the unfortunate man is again able
to be around.
