Protect Fresh Concrete
Before Water Evaporates

If newly placed concrete is left ex-
posed to the wind and sun, before 1t has
had time to harden, some of the water.
which is necessary to harden 1t, will
evapOrate. Water is necessary to hard
ening of concrete, a chemical action
goes on.
Thus floors and walks ought to be
covered with earth and kept moist for
about 10 days. This is common prac-
tice in concrete road construction.
Sand, gravel, cement and water
can be heated in winter and finished
'oncrete covered with canvas with ex
cellent results.

COAL DAMP CAUSES 2
TO die IN Mine SHAFT
(Bainville Tribune)

Goal damp or gas, In the IunisOn
coal mine nine miles north Of Gull
bertson, claimed as victims last Sat
urday, Stephen Marcinkowski, age IL
and Earl Hammond, rs, the latter
going to the rescue of the MARGIN
kowski lad, whose curiosity led him
to examine the mines interior. The
accident happened about one o'clock
when the Marcinkowski boy, whose
father is the proprietor Of a bakery
at Culbertson, stopped at the mine
while en- route home from Froid,
where he was accompanied by two
sisters and a boy chum on an auto
mobile trip.
Young Marcinkowski started to
climb down the shaft of the mine, fol
lowed by his chum, Delmar Cour-
chene, when suddenly the lad choked
emitted a groan, relinguishing his
hold On the ladder, having been over
come by the rise of damp gas from
the mine. He fell about forty feet
to the bottom of the shaft. 1t is be-
lieved that the fall broke his neck and
that death was instantaneous.
Young Courchene climbed to the
top and ran to Earl Hammond, who
was working on a threshing rig near
by, and told him what had happened.
Hammond ran Immediately to the
mine, when the gas overcame him,
and he dropped to the bottom, crush
ing his skull. He died at once. DIR.
Munich of Culbertson and Marcinkow-
skis parents were notified by tele-
phone. In the meantime the owners
of the mine had started the blower in
operation and cleared out the gas by
suction and both bodies were recov-
cred by three o'clock, both badly
crushed by the fall. Coroner Gustaf-
son was called out from here.
Stephen Marcinkowski is survived
by his parents, seven sisters and one
brother. Earl Hammond, whose he
roic act caused his death, is survived
by his parents who reside near Froid.

game. Chapman was rated as scratch
man supposed to be able to make the

win the game must best Davey by

more.

intention, including VIM. Greenup
