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. C., July 25.?Edwin
Malloy, of Gheraw, said to be a member
of a socially prominent South
Carolina family, was released under
$1,000 bond Friday for his appearance
in the^Charlotte recorder's
! court neoct Friday pending an investigation
into the death of Gerald
Dean, 5-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Sim Dean, of Monroe road, near
Oakhurst. The child was killed when
struck by a machine driven by Malloy,
a cotton broker. The accident occurred
in front of the Dean home,
two and a half miles from Charlotte,
when the boy, according to police,
darted from behind a parked car and
ran across the road to his mother.

LAI) KILLED HY WOLF
Brut* Toy* With Child an if Cat With
Mouse, Then Sink* lang"
Red Dank. 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

over the head, stunning it momentarily.
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. The same route covered
by art airplane at a cost of $5 will
run up a taxicab bill $6.10, it is reported.

the Department of Agriculture. The
number of sets has increased from
145,360 in 1923 to 1,251,186 at the

The1 lifetime of a good watch, experts
say, is 50 years.,In its daily
duties the balance and hairspring

more than 157,000,000 times a year,
while an equal number of ticks come

In Golden Gate Park, San Francisco,

of the column is a huge sundial which
rests upon a tortoise, suggesting thai
