While Working in the Pit by the T> & A- Steam
Shovel at Lake George Saturday Night--The
Sensation That Came Over Him, When lift
Realized His Danger.
tiast Saturday night while tho T. & A.
massive und powerful stov.in shovel was
scooping up tons of earth nnd loading it
on to tbe ears, near Lake George, the
"bankciogeto ifue shovel caved in andj
completely buried Mark Grinnell,  and I
partially so another man whose name we-j
were nn?ble to learn, as   tliey  were at J
work in the pit.   Tho bank at that point
had a crust of ciay about fifteen inches j
thick, and underneath all was sand and!
gravel which gave way under the pres-i
sure of the clay.   Mr, Grinnell was close j
to the bank at the time and the sand and
gravel had him almost  completely cov- i
ered up when a large chunk of clay weighing closely to 1,500 pounds rolled over
him, and hnd.it not been for  the sand}
and gravel  that was   closely   packed
around biro, would have crushed his life
out in a moment.     The man who was
woikingwith him  was soon extricated'!
and before.the absenco_of Mi"... Grinnell i
was noted and tho place exactly located j
where he was buried several minutes had j
passed.     Strenuous efforts were made!
at once to uncover him but by tlie time
he was  fully uncovered and extricated!
about 15 minutes had gone by.    When
taken out he was in such pain that he |
implored tbe men to kill him to end his j
misery.
An engine was  immediately ran to
Farwell and Dr. Kelley brought back
who did all he could to relieve his suffering.     An  engine  and  caboose then 1
brought him to Glare and he was taken 1
to his home on Seventh street, and Dr. j
Sanford, his brother-in-law, called whoj
stayed constantly by his bedside for 36 j
hours and worked to keep the life in him.
During that time he vomited up over a j
double handful of sand and gravel.    At
this timo he is resting as easy as is possible for one in his condition.   Ono of the

Farwell's .Eitenslve Boot and Shoe Industry.
Illustrated.
(Furnished by The 'CetjuiER special
correspondent and sketch artist}
Farwell can boasb of otae of tho most
important boob and shoo (repairing)
industries in the country. This esiorm-
ons concern located in the village several
years ago.and has proved to be an industry ofimore than common value tto o^r
citizeas at large-r-in faet it is seally a
necessity.
The proprietor of this euatooth .building, is a cjitaiat, unassuming citizen and
has had very little if anything to do with
politics, never seeking for public office.'
However Jac is an oxceilent .business
manager, and with his constant eujxarin-
tendance at; dine works has built up ah
enormous trade. In fact a few mcasiths
ago he found that it was almost impossible to meet the demands of his custom&rs
in the small quarters in which he was
then situated and consequently moved
his business a short distance from his
former site where it now stands.
The above is a sketch of the works
since moving to its present quarters.
The quality of the work done is excel,
lent and Farwell more than appreciates
such an extensive industry. In a future
issue will be found another of Farwoll's
well known faotOries.

cheap exaarsion rates. Sunday jand. went
to Saginaw to see theF. &3?. M. and
Fh'nt teams play ball. To say tthey saw
an exciting game is putting it :mild, for
some of tfoa people got so excited that
they actually pounded each cither. The
Flint people wero so sure of a victory
that they were giving big odds, betting
two to one, which was redily os>vored by
Saginaw posplo. • After tho game you
could see aa-y amount of Flint people behind box caes and lumber piles kicking
themselves! The game was worn in the
iiinth inning hy a base on balls, -a single
and a home ran. The feature* of the
game were many, excitement prevailing
at all Stages of the game. Anders home
ran drive in the ninth, knocked ^everything silly and tbe noise that went up
from the throats of about 2000 people
nearly shook the shingles from oft the
grand stand, and it is said that one Flint
fainted away. Bender pitched an error-

Hicks fanned eight-. Shepherd, of Bay

Tho initiative step in what many think

years, has been taken. During the past

timber forests have been carefully examined, and last week it was definitely decided to immediately commence work.
The route selected will ieave tho Greenwood branch on Sec. 7 in Hays, beginmg
on the farm of Thos. VanDyne,- and will
run%i a northerly direction to the state
road near which it will touch the former
bed of the Boseoiiimon Lumber Go-,,
which it follows to the river, touching it
a short diptauee north, of the farm of Mrs.

ten miles. It is- understood that the
north half of the route selected, which is
not feasible for a permanent road, will
only be used temporarily, for the purpose of taking out several hundred cars
of freight which has alteady been secured,"
