johnson said that small particles
Of sand began to drop from the top
Of the mound in warning that a
cave-in would occur. johnson
leaped and Allies, in his effort to
gain safety either stumbled or was
unable to reach safety because OF
rheumatism with which he had
been troubled for a number Of
years.
Johnson ran for aid as soon as
he saw the plight of his companion
and in q short time large num-
ber were working in frantic ef-
fort to remove Allies from the
mounds of sand under which he
was entombed. After 40 minutes
Of swift work Allies head became
visible. At first it was thought
that he was under the wagon which
was also covered with sand. Be-
fore reaching thS entombed man it
was necessary TO remove a large
number of heavy chunks of sand
which were pied upon him.
Rescued In 10 Minutes.
Allies head was covered with
four feet Of sand, while his feet
were encssed in FIVE feet Of clay
and sand. DR.. Joseph DeSilva ar
rived Immediately after the acci-
dent and endeavored to resuscitate
the man with the use Of the pull
motor but to no avail. The body was
taken. to the Knox funeral parlors,
where an inquest will be held.
According to those who made up
the rescue party and from the
story told by Johnson, the two men
had little chance to avert the dan
ger, it came SO sudden and un-
expectedly. u
W. J. Spencer, superintendent of
the Sears Hydro-Electric station at
Rock river, Just south Of where the
accident occurred, said that he was
coming out of the power house
when he heard loud cries and
screams. He looked down the road
and saw johnson frantically wav-
ing his hands in the air, and unable
to understand the meaning Of his
strange actions rushed toward
him.
Johnson cried, "Ailes is under
the sand" An effort was made to
flnd shovels, the ones that had
been used in digging the, sand. be-,
ing covered up ia the landslide. In
. short time a small rescue party
was organised and within 20 MIN
