Greensboro, March 10—W.T. Osbourne, foreman of a construction crew at work on a big drainage ditch here was being built for an underpass, was fatally injured here late this afternoon, on his 44th birthday, just a few hours before a big anniversary celebration was scheduled to start.
Osborne, who was superintending placing some drainage pipe, fell into the ditch and his neck was caught in the hook that held one end of the pipe to a hoisting machine. His neck was broken and his jaw and skull fractured.
The accident occurred in front of his residence, before the eyes of several of his children, and the joy over the approaching birthday party was changed to mourning for the loss of the father. He died three minutes after he fell into the ditch. He was a native of this city, with a wife and seven children.
The cave-in caught a negro who was working in the ditch, breaking his shoulder, but he will recover.
