Aug 25, 1934 - Madison, WI
Police, firemen and other residents dug for 30 minutes trying to get to Vernon Rinden after a bank he and friends were digging in caved in.
The boys were digging in Starkweather Creek at the foot of Bryan St. just off Fair Oaks Ave. Howard Flom narrowly escaped.
Officers Earl Hessling and Harry Murkve tried to revive the boy, even for another half hour after a physician pronounced him dead.
