The nest one found was a deaf " and dumb young man named 'Bauchiimn. His lower limbs were buried, and ha was dugout ud taken to Lindiey's drug store. About the same time" James Alexander, a son of Mart Alexander's brother, was dugout and also taken to Lindley's drug store. Ed Pauley, the carpenier, was next rescued and taken to the Oourt-house yard. A hndrad hands set wildly to work vemoving the brick searching for other victims, but it soon became apparent that . ail had been res-

Phelps walked home with assistance, having received but a few severe bruises. Bauchman was hauled home iu a wagon. He was badly bruised about the face and head, his hands were badly burnt by the hot brick, and his left ankle was dislocated. It was a touch
