the employ OF the Northern Pacific. was
knocked of a bridge into White river,
near Kent. yesterday morning and drown
ed before aid could reach him. Robert
son and a crew of men were engaged in
drawing out logs from jam that had oc-
Cured during the morning. and were using
an engine and chain in the operation.
While In act of pulling a log out the chain
slipped with sufficient force TO knock
Robertson of the bridge into the water.
He rose to the surface and swan about
au0 feet, apparently strong, when suddenly
he sank beneath the water just at the
edge of the jam. and never again came
to the surface. 1t is thought he was
injured either by the chain or the fall,
causing his strength TO leave him. The
current in the stream is quite strong. and
it Is probable that he was washed under
the jam, which will have 10 be broken up
before the body can he recovered
Coroner Askam received the news OF the
drowning from j. w. Allen. the roads
claim agent, who had been apprised by
Superintendent McCabe. The coroner did
not go to the scene of the accident. as the
body has not been recovered. Robertson
