and two ribs broken, besides being
otherwise badly shaken up. His only
companion was his dog, which was
for some time buried in the snow. but
after getting out came to his master
Mr.. Mix wrote a note and tied it to
the dog and sent him to the Highland
Mary for assistance. The dog made
the trip faithfully but no attention was
paid to him when he arrived at his

A phone message was sent to town for
some vehicle to convey the unfortu-

brought Mr.. Mix to the Miners Union
