tance of over twenty five feet, He was
brought to the surface and Dr. Garner
was called to attend him. Later he
was taken to James Wardell's home.
Although very badly bruised in body
and cut on the head, i is hoped that
his injuries are not more serious.
1t is not known just how the accident
occurred; but the shaft is about ninety
feet in depth, and is fitted up with lad
ders, each IA feet in length, with u
landing for each ladder; and when Mr..
Ross reached the third ladder from the
bottom it gave way with him upon it,
broke through the landing upon which
it rested, and went through to the land :
ing below. The timbers in the last
landing were cracked by the fall
Mr.. Ross has the sincere sympathy of
of the miners, many having worked at
that mine for a long timeand they have
great respect for thti employers.

listners. o. G. Rewey, trustee, intro
duced the speakers.
Rev. FIR. l. P. O'Reilly spoke first
and at once had the attention and ap-
probation of his large audience. He
spoke pleasantly and entertainingly and
| yet drove home to his hearers some i'm
pressive lessons in high morality and
good citizenship. He made effective
use of the flag in teaching patriotism.
| Rev. j. p. Nestande followed in a
| spirited address as Christian minister
and patriotic citizen, 1t was full of the
true American spirit.
Fred Ope Of Mineral Point conducted
stand on the grounds and served
