CAUGHT BY A CAVE-IN.
Frank Marsh, of Weston, Killed and Another Man Injured.
Frank Marsh, a well known young man of Weston, was killed in the tunnel of the Oregon-Monarch mine, near Sumpter, at 9 o'clock Wednesday evening.
Mr. Marsh and Al. Lake were drifting the development tunnel, when suddenly and without warning the overhanging surface of the tunnel gave way, Marsh was instantly killed and Lake was so badly injured that he is not expected to live.
Frank Marsh was well known in Athena. He was raised in Weston, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Marsh, of that place. Chas. Marsh and Mrs. S. P. Purdy are his uncle and aunt.
The young man was popular with a large circle of friends, many of whom grew up to manhood with him, and who will always remember him by his boyhood's nickname, "Slokey."
Willis Marsh, of Weston, and Charles, of Pendleton, went up to Sumpter last night for the purpose of bringing the body to the Weston home. Interment will take place in the Weston cemetery, and the funeral will be conducted by the Knights of Pythias.
