l-.H helpers at the mouth of th hole
were matin frantic efforts to J rescue
f im. Hill s death came as the end or su
years spent in welldlsrKlng. and a pe
culiar coincidence Is that almost at the
very Instant of Ms death anxious rela
tives were conferring by telephone over
a premonition that he was In danKer.
Hill had been employed to dlK a cess
pool. He had completed his contract
s .me days before, hut had failed to
reach a stratum which the owner
thought sultahln for drainage. He wail
re-employed to d'enen the hole to aO
feet, and had completed the work and
was Just Martin to place the brick lining-
when the cave-in occurred.
Hoodlums Ijkwh Side.
His fate Is ascribed to the vandalism
of hoodlums ltvlnir In the neighbor
hood, who on We.lnes.lay nicht threw
te roller of the windlass Into the hole.
The heavy piece of wood in fallinc
scraped the sides of the pit and started
a movement of the sand.
Harold Berir. a youth of 100 Kast
Elahty-rtrst street. North, was running
the windlass and heard Hill cry out In
alarm. He lowered the rope hurriedly
and then peered In. to see the sand
losina- about Hill s lens. The aired man
grasped the rope and Her started to
wind It up. but the pressure of the sand
upon Hill s leas held him an.l the rope
slipped through his tinkers. Again
Iter lowered It and again Hill grasped
it but by this time the sand had reached
his waist and Increased the weight.
Hefore Berg could make another cast a
flood of sand pinioned Hill s arms to his
si. Irs. and Berg, peering Into the hole,
raw his head slowly disappear.
Aid 1 Summoned.
He called J. X. Souvlgner. the con
tractor, a son-in-law of Hill, and N. Bo
nier, a carpenter, who saw that it was
Impossible to render aswitance. Souvlg
ner ran for help and found Pollreman
Ackerman a mounted officer, and I'o
Ilceman Swenness. Ackerman rode
oulckly to the place, calling men as he
pss.ed. Tnder the direction of touvlg
ner they built a wooden casing to hold
bark the sand.
Berg was lowered about 20 feet Into
the hole. He saw that it was useless
and dangerous to go on. anil asked to
be raised to the surface. Soundings
were taken and It was found that the
depth of the hole had been decreased by
H feet.
R. B. Spooner. a welldlgger. then was
lowered. He found tnai ine fjuii
....Kerf in f..r four or five feet all
around the excavation. Before he could

started and he was dragged hurriedly
to the surface. The rasing was ih?h
lowered into place.

At 3 o-clock. five hours after Hill was

that all property owners interested,
should be present and see the test
made. . . .
UeeentVy bids were received, which
totaled above 1"0.000. but were re

and the district covers much territory,
there Is much Interest over these tests.
Both terra cotta and rement pipe mak
ers are making a vigorous effort pto
have their plre adopted.

LACTEAL FXCID XOW SELLS AT
10 CENTS A QCART.
Rise Ascribed to Lowering Output
Through Removal of Tuber
cular Cows.
Once more the price of milk has been
advanced. Notices announcing a raise
of 2 cents a quart a month to take
effect October 1 have been made by
creameries and milk dealers. This fur
ther boost has placed the price at $3
a month, or 10 cents straight a quart.
The reason given by the milk dealers
for the raise Is that elimination of milk
from tubercular cows has reduced the
output considerably and that the farm
ers have accordingly advanced their
prices .-0 cents a hundred pounds. This,
say the dealers, cannot he absorbed by
the middle man and so consequently the
consumer is forced to foot the hill.
Where formerly a gallon delivered
dally was priced at 3 a month the
trust has advanced the price to $9. .10
a month. No advance will be made
when only a pint Is delivered, the price
remaining at 1.50. which was fixed
last October.
'in keeping with the general policy of
the milk dealers last year In October
the price of a quart delivered dally was
advanced from 12.50 to 12.75 a month
and the price of a pint was sent up
to I1.S0. The changes In the milk
prices will nut affect cream prices, say
the creamery and milk dealers.
