Bailey called Joseph Romac, a fellow miner, and some others to his assistance and together they removed him from under the fallen rock and took him to the top.

The cause of the cave-in was failure on the part of Silva to have the coal he had dug removed and props put in to hold the roof of the entry in its place. Miners can not be too careful in their work and should always see that a sufficient number of props are used to insure safety from accidents of this kind. Even when there is apparently no danger mishaps frequently occur, particularly in mines. Coroner Dr. G.

The report reached the city to- day that a tramp was found about nine miles nrth of the city this morning frozen to death. He was layiog by a hedge fence with two empty whisky tlasks by his side. No papers of iden-tificat'on were found upon his person nor anything else that would give a clue to his name or from whence he came. He was said to be a man about 30 years of age, rather dark and of saiall stature, and weighing about 1 10 pounds. It seems hardly a creditable story, however, lor a tramp belongs to a class of people that seldom freeze to death, much less carry whisky out into the country with them to get drunk, an empty bottle is something they have no use for.
