Lancaster Laborers Killed Friday afternoon about 1 30 o'clock a part of the narrow, deep ditch being excavated for the purpose of laying a newer line for the new ppatoffice building now under construe tion, caved in and two colored workmen were crushed and smothered to death while making the finishing touches in preparation to laying the sewer line. Every possible effort was i put forth in rescuing the victims, [ but on account of the nature of the soil it was necessary to use pipks to loosen the hard limestone strata that held the workmen in partial standing positions at the bottom of the tenfoot ditch. I It was 3 o'clock (one hour and thirty minutes) when the first workman was brought to the surface. His body was crushed horribly and I from appearances death came shortly after the cave-in. The other victim was brought to the surface about twenty minutes later and this body also gave signs that it was crushed by the heavy, rocky soil and that death was caused mainly by the severe weight of the stone strata coupled with the inevitable smothering that makes death almost certain. The first victim brought to the surface was Robert Cuuningham, colored, about 51 years of age, a thrifty negro of the South Lancaster suburbs, who leaves a family. Robert is well known over the county, as a main livelihood in the past has been cotton platform truck hand at Lancaster and his duties thefb threw him in contact with the cotton buyers and farmers of the county. Ben Belk, 18 years of age, son of Mart Belk, was the second victim taken from the cave-in. He was unmarried and lived on the farm of O. C. Blackmon in the Dixie section of Lancaster county.?Lancaster News. Auto Kills Charlotte Child Charlotte, N.

N. J., July 26. ?His body mangled by more than a score of bites inflicted by u female woU which had escaped from his father's private zoo and uttacked him in the I dooryard of his home, Thomas K. iiolton, two and-a-half-year old son of Oliver W. Holton, owner of the Twin Brook Zoo at Middletown, N. J., died late Friday afternoon in Woodley Hospital, Hod Bank. Twin Brooks Zoo is the same one from which and Indian Leopard escaped August 6 last and terrorised the countryside until October 16, when it was trapped and shot by a farmer near Toms river. Both animals escaped while they were being transferred from one cage to another. Hearry N. Johnson, Mommouth county sheriff immediately began an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the boy's duath. Gov. Moore said he would follow Sheriff Johnson's investigation closely. "The permitting of institutions of this kind in the State is purely a local proposition," Governor Moore continued. "'Municipalities have - a lot of power to control zoos in their territory and overcome deaths caused by the escape of wild animals. This is the first report I've had of the attack and I cannot say whether or not the local authorities are guilty of carelessness or not in permitting the zoo to remain in the locality at this time. "It is sad to learn that the owner's son was the victim of his father's apparent carelessness, if there was carelessness connected with the terrible incident. Until the county has exhausted all its power and calls upon the state for aid, no state action will be taken. I will follow the investigation closely. Thomas Holton was playing in the yard of his home with Henry Mazza, six-year-old son of Mrs. Alma Mazza, a maid there, when the wolf appeared. After getting free inside the zoo park it got through the gate and ran to the Horton home, which is some distance away. It must have passed | several homes wkh tempting chicken] yards on its way. The wolf attacked the younger bo^ playing with him as a cat does a mouse, after biting Henry Mazza slightly on the legs. Mrs. Mazza I rushed out of the house with a broom, but this proved ineffective in frightening the animal afway. As the wolf continued to toss Thomas about with its strong teeth, Mrs. Mazza rushed indoors again, and returning with an unloaded shotgun struck the animal 110 Stories High John A.

This gave Mrs. Marza time to get the children iiVloors. A boy from the adjourning farm heard the acreutu* and rushed for his father, who called llolton from the too. The owner of the park, with other employes hud chased the wolf for a few ininutea when it firat escaped, but as it reached the woods, gave up the chase, thinking it safe inside the gates and fences. Holbon ran to the house armad with a rifle, followed the wolf to a swimming pool on the grounds and shot and killed it. Beaufort Estate Hold The Wilson-Vanderbilt estate consisting of 61,000 acres of original round virgin timber in Beaufort county, South Carolina, near Hordevllle, 26 miles from Savannah, was sold recently for 1460,000 to W. H. Page of Lyons, Ga., by Mrs. Mary J. Booqp of Uaxley, administratrix, of J. K. Varn, Jr. Dr. John R. I^wis of Louisville assisted in the making of the safc Upon this estate of the late J. E. Varn, Jr., ther* are 98 buildings, 12 of ^h'ich are concrete and stucco, furnished with water and lights in a complete manner. There is a saw mill and planing mill also located there. Private docks on the water fronts, which is *18 miles in length. The deer, turkeys, quail and ducks and all wild games abound. It is a hunter's paradise. There are 37 flowing arteaian wells upon the place which furnish ample water for the game there. The entire estate is un^ der fence. THINGS WORTH KNOWING Every Sunday a group of golfers near Fort Stockton, Texas, assemble on the course and listen to the Sunday school lesson broadcast by the pastor of the Presbyterian Church. {Since a family of fourteen Alaskan blue fox cubs requires more attention than one mother can give, the manager of a fox farm at Antigo, Wisconsin, has drafted three house cats to act as foster mothers. Chicago is spending $1,700,000 to build a bridge where there is, as yet, no river. When it is finished a channel will be dug beneath it and the Chicago River will flow where now are only railroad tracks. An int< xicated violinist in an Argentine lumber camp is credited with the idea of extracting music from an ordinary steel saw, thus originating tfTe musical saw' which is now so popular with jazz orchestras. 'Assassin' is the pet name hissed by pedestrians of Paris at chauffeurs who just miss them. They believe the chauffeur misses because his aim is poor. Seeing New York by air is cheaper than by taxi.
