Boat Capsized and Four Lives
We're Lost.
ACCIDENT OCCURS ON SPOKANE RIVER
The Passengers Numbered Eighteen. Five Of
Whom Succeeded In Swimming I,
Shareholders Rescued.

Spokane. Dec. 8.-Four lives were
lost here this evening by the capsizing
of current ferry boat in the Spokane
river. The ferry is about two miles
down the river. 1t was crossing the
stream with Is woikmen. who had
ended their days work in construc.
ton camp near the Great Northern's
bridge. The men crowded to the bow
and it it was swamped. All the men
were thrown In the cold water. Five
swan to shore and the others climbed
on the capsized boat. The waves
ran high and washed four Of them to
death.
When the ferry capsized a man
started of in skiff to the rescue.
Some of the men, who witnessed the
accident say he picked up one Of the
men in the water, but neither the res
cuer nor the skiff has since been seen.
1t was probably carried down the rap.
ids, and it is possible that the two
men have reached shore some distance
down stream. Another account says
the boat was swamped by large log.

Nearly all of the victims had their
skulls fractured or limbs broken and
sustained serious internal injuries. The
portion Of the roof which collapsed was
merely the covering over the ventilator
bars at the. apex of the building and
was not constructed to sustain any
heavy weight. The horizontal timbers
in the center, corresponding to the
ridge pole of an ordinary structure,
broke near the center, and the light
