Cave-In
Frank Gault Buried in Sand

At Vogelmeiere's Brick Yard Tuesday Afternoon.  Not Seriously Injured

Frank Gault, an employee at the Vogelmier Bros' Brick yard in Franklin's 
addition, was seriously injured by a cave in of sand and clay late Tuesday 
afternoon. 

Mr. Gault was digging in the sand bank which was situated under a bank of 
clay, and when the cave in took place he was buried completely, with the 
exception of one hand.  This fact probably saved the man's life.  With the aid 
of his free hand he scraped the sand and clay away from his face, when he was 
able to call for help.  Several men who were at work in the stone quarry near 
by came to his assistance and after digging for some time, pulled the 
thoroughly exhausted man out.  Physicians were called and on examination it 
was found that although no bones were broken, his abdomen was crushed in and 
he was injured internally, but not necessarily seriously.  He was taken to his 
home near the quarry and is feeling better today.
