KILLED IN THE MINE
A Gilman Man Struck by a
Deadly Flying Missile.
IT PLUNGED DOWN THE SLOPE.
An Abandoned Pipe Breaks Away and
Kills . Miner Only . Few Days
Before He Was to Leave.

Zetherens Rolando q miner in the slope
at Gilman, was instantly killed about 8
O'Clock yesterday morning by a length Of
pipe which had broken away from near
the mouth and pitched down to the bot
tom, striking him on the back.
When the slope was sunk several years
ago 3la-inch pipe line was laid to the
bottom, through which to pump water
from the workings. After the slope was
finished this pipe was no longer used. but
was not removed, except length at a
time, as il was required in some other
place. 1t had gradually been removed in
this way until there was about sixty feet
of IL left near the mouth. As il was afr xed
TO the timber, no danger was feared from it.
Rolando and another man were working
near the bottom of the slope. which is
about 500 feet deep, when, in some way,
probably through a car jumping the track
and striking it, this pipe was broken loose,
and started to pitch lengthwise down the
slope. 1t gained speed as it fell until it
struck fire from the rails. The few men
working in the slope heard it coming and
stood to one side in terror, some of them
thinking it was a meteor when they saw
the fire fly. At the 4O0-foot level the
slope is closed by a door swung from
weights, which pushes up when cars come
from below. but has to be pushed up to let
a train of cars run down. The slope
at this point DIVORCES from the straight
course slightly TO one side. and
the pipe might have struck against
the wall. but it hit some obstruction and
was thrown endwise against the doors.
These doors are strong enough TO with
I'm OF NJ O a hrr no
pipe, having gained fearful impetus in Its
flight of 100 feet, cut a hole clear through
il and plunged onward down the slope.
Rolando and his companion heard the
noise of the great flying missile and, i'm
aglning it TO be a runaway car, ran to the
sides to escape it. Ii Rolando had stayed
where he was his life would have been
saved, but the pipe struck him sauarely on
the back, carrying him along with it. His
back was broken, his head fearfully in
jured by the blow which struck him to the
earth and he was instantly killed.
Rolando was an Italian OF steady habits,
and was generally liked at the mine. He
was unmarried, and had no relatives in
this country. He had given notice of his
intention to leave the mine, and had only
a few more days to work. He intended
going TO 0kanogan county. where he has a
good ranch valued at 81, 900.
Work was stopped in the mine as soon
as the accident occurred. and information
was telegraphed to Coroner Horton and
Mine Inspector Edmunds. The latter
went 10 Gilman last evening to investigate
and the coroner will go this morning. The
funeral will take place at Gilman tomor-
row afternoon. the miners stopping work
at noon TO attend il.

cur DOWN THE POLES.
Northern Pacific Objects to Telephone
Line on Its Right-of- Way.

TACOMA, Aug Especial. Manager
Sands, of the Sunset Telegraph and TeIe-
phone Company, stated today that the
new line consisting of two copper wires on
twenty-five foot poles. which the company
Is building to Portland, was disabled last
Saturday by Northern Pacific employees
without any warning. They cut off the
poles about three feet above the ground on
both sides of Rainier, and for a distance of
two and one-half miles between Winlock
and Napavine. The line was in operation
as far Is Little Falls and has been rapidly
pushed since towards Portla and, although
nothing has been done in the way OF re-
pairing the breaks, pending instructions
from the main Office in San Francisco.
Communication is cut off south of Row.
The line of poles followed the county road,
but encroached on the Northern Pacifc's
2o-foot right-ot-way az the above points.
Forty foot poles were used at all stations
and road crossings.
superintendent McCabe, OF the North
ern Pacific. is quoted as saying 10 Superin-
tendent Sands:
The trouble is that the line was on our right
of-way. You We pay taxes for the use OF
that land, and IL should not he expected that we
are going to permit any one else 70 occupy il
just as Icing as poles are put on our righG-of-wsy
without some arrangement having been made
We viii remove them every time. no matter who
may put them there.
This Dispute may put 20 the test the
provisions Of the constitution that tele-
graph and telephone companies may build
lines along the rgat-oi-way of any rail-
road after condemnation proceedings. bu:
TIA; they may bald lines along the right

Wires Leased to the Western Union.

The Great Northern Railway Company
and the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany have renewed the lease 10 the latter
of the telegraph lines on the Great North
ern road, including the Pacific extension
to Seattle. The Western Union is now
operating the lines as far west as Spokane,
with the exception of the Montana Cen
trail, on which there is not enough busi-
ness TO warrant stretching an extra wire
for commercial purposes. Reports that
the Great Northern would operate its own
telegraph lines are denied, so far as the
main line is concerned
