JACKSONVILLE BOY IS
.ENTOMbEO IN TUNNEL
MADE AS A PLAY HOUSE


Jacksonville, May 9.-EntombeG
in tunnel, which he and a playmate
had dug in the back yard of his home
at 142 May street, J. D. Crabb, IL
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. W.
Crabb, met tragic death by suffo-
cation late yesterday afternoon.
Pies SATISFY, 18 Leila street, young
Crabb's playmate, who assisted in
digging the tunnel, narrowly escap-
ed death also when the tunnel cayed
in as the boys were crawling into the
opening, lighting their way with can
dies.
Buried Five Feet Deep.
Young Crabb's body, buried five
feet underground, was recovered at
$3.50 o'clock after police officers and
details from two fire stations had
worked frantically for two hours to
reach the entombed boy. Although
the case appeared hopeless, police at
the scene with a pulmotor endeay-
ored to resuscitate the lad when his
body was removed from the grave.
Those at the scene last night stat
ed no sadder or more shocking trag-
edy has ever occurred in the city.
Extended Under House.
The lads, in leisure hours, dug the
tunnel until its underground passage
extended under the shell brick walls
of the rear of the residence, and it
was, while making an exploring trip
that the soft sand cayed in. Young
Crabb was leading the way into the
underground passage when the dis
aster occurred. The earth slid nois-
lily down behind the Crabb boy, cut
ting him off from the opening. When
the wall of sand descended in front
of him the SATISFY boy turned and
frantically made for the opening. He
gave the alarm and members of the
Crabb family, assisted by neighbors,
attacked the hopeless
task.

Come, my darling, in my dreams.
Let me feel your gentle presence
