ANOTHER MINE ACCIDENT.
ONE MAN INJURED.
Westport, Jan. 26,
The stone root of the Westport Coal Company’s Cascade mine fell for a distance of 20 yards, blocking the outlet. Richard Baker, who was two or three yards away from the beginni jg of the fall, saw it coming and leaped into a place of safety, but he was surrounded by a great mass of rocks.
Seven other men were also shut in, but away from the immediate cause of danger. A rescue party got to work vigorously, and managed, alter two and a halt hours’ strenuous labour, to release the imprisoned men.
One of the men was injured
