CAVE-IN SHED KILLS LOCAL MAN

The body of Ole Aakvik, a resident and land owner of the Buck creek district, was found Saturday under a cave-in shed on the orchard of Mrs. J.H. Davis in the Pleasant View district. Mr. Aakvik had been in charge of the Davis ranch and it is thought that he was killed Wednesday of last week while he was shoveling the snow from the roof of the shed, the structure giving under the heavy load of snow and ice while he was working.
Mr. Aakvik was missed but it was thought he might have gone to some of the neighbors and even after the shed, which was some distance from the house, had caved in, no one paid much attention to the building. On the following Saturday Bete Brannan noticed shoes sticking out of the snow of the wrecked building. The body was then dug out. In the fall the victim had suffered a broken back, broken neck and shoulder.
Inquest was held by Judge A.B.Groshong. Accidental death was the verdict. This is the third inquest held on the Davis ranch in the past few years as results of accidents to two members of the family and to Mr. Aakvik.
Deceased was about 47 years of age, was well known here. Was born in Norway where brothers and sisters reside. He had no relatives in this country.
