KILLED BY CAVE-IN

Joseph Hughes, veteran miner of
Crested Butte, is victim of sand
slide September 1st.
Joseph is very we'll known in Crest
ed Butte. He left for Seattle in May,
and his family followed in July. 1t is
with regret we read the account of
his death from the Seattle paper:
Buried under tons of earth in a
caved-in well yesterday Joseph Hughes
veteran miner, met tragic death on
his ranch on the highway near
Bothell.
twenty-five men labored frantic
ly for nearly twelve hours in the
effort to rescue Hughes imprisoned
since morning, and for some time. had
his head and shoulders above ground.
Just as they hoped to extricate him a
second sand slide occurred, burying
not only Hughes, but also covering
Clayton Osterhout, one of the rescue
party Osterhout was later pulled out.
"For some hours after the second
slide the buried man was able to
communicate feebly with the rescue
party, through rubber hose which
had been extended to his mouth be-
fore the cavern occurred. But when
the diggers uncovered the miners
head the second time at 10 o'clock
last night, life was extinct.
Hughes moved to his ranch sew
eral weeks ago. He was born 81 years
ago in England. He had previously
worked in mines in England and in
Colorado for thirty years. He was a
victim of a rock cave-in in Colorado
and was given up for dead, but was
eventually rescued and recovered af-
ter suffering from paralysis for three
months.
"A month ago Hughes dug the
twenty-one foot we'll in which the
disaster occurred. Water was struck
at that depth, supplying the Hughes
family and neighbors, but early last
week the we'll went dry. Yesterday
Hughes announced his intentions of
deepening it. His wife protested;
she said that the work would be un-
safe, as the shaft had not been prop
erly curbed. Hughes started working
about o'clock. The accident oc-
Cured about 9:30."
