While breaking a landing he was caught by a monster log and pinned to | the ground, and held in that position ; for half an hour before he could be ex i tricated. His left log and right arm I were frightfully crushed. His co-la ! borers hastily dispatched a messenger i to Cameron to wire for Drs. Smith and j DeLong, who hastened to 'Cameron i and started up the mountain on Mr. Dunlevie's log train when they met the injured young man, being carried to Cameron on a stretcher by his com panions, who had carried him three : miles when met by the doctors. The shock and great loss of blood had ren dered the condition of the injured boy | hopeless and he died at 4:30 o'clock, a short time after reaching Cameron. His brothers, a number of whom work ed with him, and sisters and parents reached Cameron before he died. He remained conscious to the end. Undertaker Egan went to Cameron yesterday evening and prepared the remains for removal to the home of his parents at Sterling Run.
