Two Men Buried In The Sewer

A serious cave in of the lateral sewer near the intersection of Hill and Packard Street Wednesday afternoon terminated happily for the two men whó were buried in the earth. The sewer at this point is eight feet deep. It ran through straight sand and there was no trace of uicksand. At this point there was an ld sluiceway, the rotted bracings of which gave way and this was probably ihe cause of the cave in. The caven occurred at a qnarter of two o'clock. A.t the point where the earth carne in Albert Schultz, of Detroit, was laying ipe and Arthur Sweet, of this city, was cementing it. Schultz saw the and conhng in and started to run. weet was bending over the tile and isliking to get over him Schultz startd to run the other way. Sweet was tie first man covered, but was not so deeply covered as Schultz, who was aught by the legs by the boards which gave way. Iminediately all hands went to work with a will to dig out heir comrades. Sweet was the first man uncovered and was got out in about eight minutes. He struggled ïard to free himself and sustained a xacfrured rib. Af ter he was partially uncovered and his head out, the sand carne in again, partially covering him. Schultz's head was uncovered in about ten minutes and hé was pretty nearly gone at that time. He quickly jegan to gasp for air. It was an hour and a half, however, before he was taken froin the trench, as the boards ïad f astened him by the legs. It was at first supposed that his legs were broken.but thisturned out not to be the case. Both men were immediately taken to their homes and prompt medical treatment given them.
