Show KILLED BY A CAVE. About six weeks ago, H. P. Davidson, a shoemaker, who resided in the 12th ward, abandoned his trade and went to work on the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. It appears that while he was at work in Price River Canyon, at 11 o'clock on Friday, a bank under which he was digging, caved and buried him. When taken out he was quite dead, the body being very much crushed and bruised. The contractor for whom the deceased worked was close by him at the time, stepped out of danger himself, and called to Davidson to do the same, but he was too late. Deceased was a Scandinavian about twenty-six years of age, and bore the reputation of being an industrious, good man. His widow, who came to this country with the last season's immigration, her husband having preceded her, is inconsolable. |
