SCARED BY SKULLS.
Why the Indians Keep Away Prom I,el-
lingham Bay.

~
From the seattle Press.
One very noticeable peculiarly of the
B~cllingham bay cities Is the absence Of
Indians and Cinnamon. The former are
seldom seen here and the latter never.
Why the Indians avoid this place is not
known, but some of the Siwashes said
that the natives held this part of the state
in superstition through an event happen
ing during the Indian war about ls,6.
Ii ran thus: One night during the
trouble with the sayages, "A certain camp
II white settlers were expecting an attack.
The whites were informed by a friendly
but half-witted Indian. who had received
small sums Of money from the settlers
for occasional services he had done
there.
The white men, finding that the saw
ages would far outnumber them, resolved
TO thwart them by stratagem, and this Is
the way IL was accomplished:
The Indians, on their way 10 attack
them, would have 10 pass through "A thick
ly wooded ravine that lay on the north
side Of the Noosack river, known as the
Devils pass" Anticipating the saw
ages march, the white men concealed

A BAD ACCIDENT T.
COLLAPSE OF THE FALSE
WORK
In the Music Hall at the Fair
GrOunds-Injnres Four Men
Wild Rumors.

Since the erection of the buildings
at the Fair grounds from the begin
ming of the Fair, only two accidents
of serious consequence have occurred.
The first took place at the grand
stand last year, when two men
were injured. The second occurred
this morning at o'clock, when the
false work and scaffolding in the
music hall, now building gave way
suddenly with a crash, and precipi-
tated siXmen to the ground and up
on the naked floor sleepers..
The news was brought to the city
by carpenter who had been out TO
see Foreman Barnes about getting
his money. He had quarrel and
refused to work, and started to town
to see the secretary, and as he
started off the fall occurred. He
was lucky. The widest rumors soon
spread over the city, which seemed to
center in the statement that the en-
tire building had fallen and had kill
ed twenty men and injured as many
more. A LIGHT and Express reporter
were soon at the Arkansas Pass rail-
way depot, and the special engine
and coach ordered out by the super
intendent to 60 to the grounds,
carried them out at rapid speed.
Arriving at the grounds the music
hall, inside, presented complete
wreck and great timbers and scaffold-
ing were strewn about in great con-
fusion. The injured men, whose
number only proved to be four, were
laid on mattresses in the exposition
hall. The men wounded were:
d. A. Jameson, carpenter; right
leg uroken and spike nail driven
through right thigh and broken off,
and chest and ribs hurt. His inju-
ries are the most serious. He comes
from Navasota, his father being DR..
Jameson, of the Central road.
Hugh Mckinney, leg broken and
body bruised. He lives on Austin
street and is a single man. He is
a regular hero and while painfully
hurt, endeavored to cheer his COM
panions in their trouble.
II. G. Love, single man, shoulder
bruised and dislocated.
Lawrence Sherman, bruised and
skin barked Oft.
Paul DltZman, German, anu an
other man, name unknown, were on
the scaffolding when it fell. They
say they We're on the scaffold, about
26 feet from the ground and felt per-
fectly safe, when the central beam
gave way and fell giving them no
opportunity to save themselves.
Jameson fell under a heavy beam,
and large spike drove through his
thigh as his broken leg was pinned
to the floor joists.
Mr.. Mckinney and Mr.. Love fell
together, and Love fell on top. He is
a large, heavy man.
The men unite in saying that the
top timbe1s were supported by too
light underpinning and the weight
caused the mass to start and fall.
President Schryver and Secretary
Workman, OF the Fair association,
were quickly on the grounds,
doing all they could for the
wounded men, and when the spe-
cial train arrived, all were transferred
to the coach and brought to the city,
and were driven in ambulances to the
hospital, where medical aid was sum-
moned. All the men are considered not
seriously hurt, though Jameson's in
iuries are the most serious. His faith
er has been summoned by telegraph.
