Mr. HOPE notices the hanging slate and expected it to fall but was keeping from under it and thought he was safe. The treacherous piece however instead of falling directly downward swerved to the side and caught him across the shoulder and chest fracturing the shoulder and crushing him internally. He did not apparently realize the seriousness of his injury and for a short time conversed freely after being carried home, telling his wife "not to worry, that he would soon be all right again." Shortly before three o'clock he sank into a slumber and passed away before the attendants knew that he was dying. Mr. HOPE was born in Dallbette, Scotland, fifty years ago.
