Cave In

Frank Gault Buried in Sand

At Vogelmeier's Brick Yark Tuesday Afternoon, Not Seriously Injured

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

Mr. Gault was digging in a 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.
