' When the cave came with. out warning it caught the unfortunate man unawares and hemmed him in ¢ompletely, burying him out of sight. Had Blake noticed his peril it is doubtful whether he could have escaped the fate that befell him, for he was infirm to a considerable extent and could not have retreated in haste. Anderson summoned assistance from among the neighbors and the work of digging him out was proceeded with as fast as possible. At a quarter past two the body was reached, the head crushed in, the body badly bruised and otherwise disfigured. Tt was readily seen that he was dead and after the body was removed undertaker Geo. A. Gray was sent for to take the remains to town. ’ “Jerry” Blake has been one of the best-known characters of this place for years.

Power, BENEATH FALLING GRAVEL, A Treacherous Bank Crushes the Life Out of Jeremiah Blake, A cave occurred in the gravel diggings of Jeremiah Blake at about half past one o’clock this afternoon and as the bank of earth and gravel fell. jt caught Blake beneath it, crushing him to death. He and Dave Anderson were working in the diggings, which are jn the deep cut or ravine just back of the Odin mine, near 8. N,. Stranahan’s place, and was in one of the numerous worked-out excavations that exist there. ' When the cave came with. out warning it caught the unfortunate man unawares and hemmed him in ¢ompletely, burying him out of sight. Had Blake noticed his peril it is doubtful whether he could have escaped the fate that befell him, for he was infirm to a considerable extent and could not have retreated in haste. Anderson summoned assistance from among the neighbors and the work of digging him out was proceeded with as fast as possible. At a quarter past two the body was reached, the head crushed in, the body badly bruised and otherwise disfigured. Tt was readily seen that he was dead and after the body was removed undertaker Geo. A. Gray was sent for to take the remains to town. ’ “Jerry” Blake has been one of the best-known characters of this place for years.
