fWO OGDEMTES GASSED AT GRAIN ELEVATOR I Worker Risks Life I Striving to Save I Victim of Fumes fHARLES LESLIE BUNE, 26 years of age, 2060 Jefferson avenue, is dead and Ward A. Dunn, an electrician, 2749 Grant avenue, is in a serious condition at the hospital, as a result of breathing poisonous fumes which had collected in an elevator at the Globe mills in West Ogden yesterday afternoon. Bune was employed as a sampler hie was sent to procure a sample of barley. The bin was damp and fermentation fer-mentation had developed, it is believed. The sampler had hardly entered before he was overcome, over-come, but he managed to shout once or twice for assistance. Dunn, who was working near, hurried to aid Bune. He had no warning as to the danger and in his efforts to drag Bune to safety, he collapsed. By this time workmen had heard the alarm and a relief party, headed by R. O. Daniels, foreman, brought out the bodies. The fire department, with its lungmoter, was called and restorative methods were tried. Efforts to revive Bune were futile, but Dunn was revived sufficiently to permit his removal to the hospital. Bune leaves a young widow, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. ij. A. Bune, and the following brothers and sisters: J. A. Bune. Mrs. J. E. DeLong, Mrs. A. Wheelwright and Mrs. T. F. Power.
