Terrible Accident

One of those shocking events which from time to time disturb a community happened at Galice last Sunday night. Barnett A. Pollock, an employe of the Harvey placer mine, had the night shift and was on duty piping. At the time he was alone, the balance of the night force being temporarily in another part of the mine, and on their return they found the bank had caved and that Pollock had been caught beneath it and smothered, though the dirt was away from his head and face. It was quite plain to be seen that the giant which he was operating had washed the earth away from his head after his death. The body was removed and an inquest held, the jury fining that death was accidental.

Eclus Pollock, his cousin, went down Monday morning and brought the body to this city, and on Tuesday the funeral was held, Rev. F. C. Lovett officiating. The interment took place at Pleasant Valley cemetery.

Barnett A. Pollock came to this county with his parents when he was a child. At the time of his death he was in his 47th year. Three years ago his wife died, leaving him the care of eight children. The oldest were a pair of twins, a girl and a boy, now in their 19th year. The youngest child is 5 or 6 years old, and this, with one or two others, is at the Pollock home in this city, living with their grandmother.

This is one of the saddest events we have had to record for a long time.
