While at work with the crew of a steam shovel in the gravel pit, a large section of the top bank gave way and Arthur, who had no warning of the slide, was caught and buried under tons of gravel. His companions, fearing they could not rescue him by means of hand shovels, resorted to the steam shovel to extricate him from the smothering gravel. In the rush to recover him the steam shovel struck him in the side, and while he was removed from the slide in a few minutes, he was severely injured. A call had been sent for an ambulance. A physician gave first aid while awaiting the ambulance, which took the injured man to Zanesville, Ohio, where everything was done to save his life. Loss of blood and shock proved too great. The GIST family formerly resided in Midway, having lived for several years in the house now occupied by Charles SHERMAN. Mr. GIST was station agent at Bulger. *Midway column
