WORKMEN KILLED
THREE BURIED IN TUNNEL.
(United Press Assn.—By Telegraph-Copyright.) Melbourne, June 24.
The three men buried in the tunnel are dead. Scales’s body has been recovered, but the rescuers failed to reach the other two.
A previous message from Melbourne stated: Five men employed in a deep water tunnel leading to Silvan reservoir were overwhelmed by a fall of earth. Two were rescued, but the other three, Walter Crosby, Frederick Scales, and Bert Walsh, are probably dead. Their comrades have been working with feverish haste for hours trying to reach them. Little hope is entertained of their being alive.
