TUESDAY,
BURIED FDR AN
HOUR IN SLIDE
BUT STILL LIVES
Laborers Digging Trench Near
Brackenridge Villa Caught
in Cave-in.
ONE WALKS TO HIS HOME
The Other Is Taken to Infirm
ary Where It Will Take Some
Days for Injuries to Develop.
Buried in a sewer trench for more
than one hour and then being rescued
alive, but more or less seriously injured,
was the experience of two Mexican la
borers Monday afternoon at 4:30
o’clock near the Brackenridge villa. The
two men, with six others, were down
eight feet below the surface while dig
ging the trench for the purpose of lay
ing a sewer to connect with the city
system, when the bauk eaved in, bury
ing the two victims before they could
make their escape. Following the cave
in the alarm was given and soon a large
crowd had gathered and willing hands
with picks and shovels started the work
of rescue.
When the work of rescue began one
man was out of sight and covered, while
the other was pinned against the oppo
site wall of the trench and was covered
up to the neck. For more than one
hour the rescuers worked faithfully be
fore the men were finally rescued. In
the meantime a hospital ambulance had
been sumomned and was on the scene
waiting for the victims when they had
been released from their terrifying po
sition. The first man, the one buried
up to the neck, taken from the trench
refused to go to the hospital, saying he
was not badly hurt. He later went to
his home in the city. The victim last
taken from the ground was found to be
seriously injured about the legs and
body from the sudden slide of earth and
he was placed in the ambulance and
rushed to the Santa Rosa hospital for
treatment. He was reported as having
rested easy all last night, but it is
thought he is internally injured and it
will be several days yet before the full
extent of his injuries will be known.
The men were employed by a local
plumbing firm in making the sewer con
nection.

DISTRESSED
AFTER EATING
An Oklahoma Man Tells How He
Cured His Stomach Trouble
by the Tonic Treatment.
The symptoms of stomach trouble
vary. Some victuns have a ravenous
appetite, some loathe the sight of food.
Often there is a feeling aa or weight on
the chest, a full feeling in the throat.
Sometimes the gas presses on the heart
and leads the sufferer to think ho has
heart disease.
Some people know that the strength
which the w eak stomach needs, and for
the lack of which the whole body is suf
fering, can be found surely and quickly
in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. In hun
dreds of instances these pills have suc
ceeded where every other remedy had
failed, and in every case the cure was
radical.
Mr. W. R. Persefleld, of Kingfisher,
Okla., n section foreman on the C. R.
I. & P. R. R., says:
•‘For eight years I suffered from the
tortures of indigestion and constipation.
My stomach was sour and very sore. I
could not eat without distress although
I had a ravenous appetite and a craving
for meat. I was also troubled a great
deal by gus forming on my stomach.
“The doctors gave me but little relief
and upon a friend's advice I tried Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills. I could see some
improvement after a short trial and used
the pills until cured. The pills purified
my blood, gave me strength and I can
now eat a meal without distress.”
The tonic treatment with Dr. Wil-
Hams' Pink Pills by building up the
blood sothat it can nourish andstrength
en the weakened digestive system has
marie iiuudreds of cures in the most
severe stomach disorders. This record
of cures should merit a trial for the
remedy which is guaranteed free from
opiates.

to Eat aud How to Eat.” is freeonre
quest. Send a postal for it today and
begin to cure yourself by following the
directions it contains.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured
snsemia. rheumatism, sciatica, nervous
ness, after-affects of the gripand fevers,
and neuralgia, owing to their blood
building property.

AEROPLANE IS AGAIN
CREATURE DE FOULOIS'WILL
Lieutenant of Signal Corps Re
mains Up More Than
Twenty-Two Minutes.
Surpassing all of his previous flights
in the Wright aeroplane, Liout. B. D.
Foulois set a new time record for him
self by remaining in the air exactly 22
minutes and 25 seconds yesterday af
ternoon on the experimenting grounds
northeast of Fort Sam Houston.
This flight was made under the most
trying conditions of wind the aviator
has yet encountered. The wind main- j
tained a squally character, blowing in j
puffs ranging from throe to ten miles
an hour and was not Constant from any
one direction.
This, however, did not daunt the army
officer, who handled his air craft with
as much ease as though tbo conditions
had been perfect.
The start was made at a few seconds
after 3:13 o’clock yesterday afternoon
and the flight lasted until 3:36.10.
After circling the grounds repeatedly
Liout. Foulois made a perfect landing
less than fifty foot from the starting
point. Ho said the aeroplane was work
ing perfectly, and that tho flight was
everything that could be expected.
It is probable flights will be made
every afternoon if tho machine is in
order and the weather right.

10 QUELL REBELS
Special Diapatch.
Albany, March Do.—The fight for
the control of the republican party in
New York is more “up-in-the-air”
thau ever and the belief is growing that
the administration is holding the re
nomination of Governor Hughes over
the head of the rebels as a club.
Hughes has announced that he will not
run again, but the national chiefs could
prevail upon him to make the run, it is
thought, to save the organization.
Should Hughes run and be elected
it would be a death blow to Woodruff
and Barnes, who recently told Senator
Root to mind his own business.
