BURIED BENEATH THREE WAGON LOADS OF GRAVEL.

W.“ H. Gilbert Rescued With Oaly Severe Braises After Experience In Cnved-In Gravel Pit W. H. Gilbert, who lives north of town about six miles, almost lost h|t| life this Wednesday forenoon. He was hauling gravel from thp Garriott pit, not far from Aix and was shoveling at the pit when the side caved in. He was almost buried beneath three or four wagon loads of gravel and had it not been for the prompt rescue afforded by the other men at the pit, he would probably have been killed. As it was, he was badly bruised, and after his removal to bis home a physician was called to ascertain the extent of his injuries. Fortunately there were no bones broken. .
