Ike Dobson the Victim.

A falling tree on the upper section
OF the Peninsular Railroad, a few
minutes before the finish of the days
labor was done, caused serious wreck
OF Locomotive No 4, and the death OF
Ike Dobson, brakeman. The upper
train was coming out from Mason
County Logging Co.'s camp 5, with a
train of loaded cars and had just made
heavy grade, when Engineer Covill
saw tree about two feet through fall
ing across the rails, just in front of
the train. He reversed the engine,
whistled brakes, and jumped, followed
by the fireman. The brakesmen on tile
train either saw the danger or heard
the signal and jumped from the train,
excepting Ike Dobson, who was at his
brake between two logging cars at the
rear end of the train. The other
brakemen made desperate attempt
to attract his attention, but too late,
the engine had met the obstruction
and left the track, and the logs closed
together, with the unfortunate brakes
man imprisoned between the ends.
When released the lower part of his
body was terribly mashed, and he died
while being removed on mattress to
the station.
News Of the wreck was telephoned
down, and special engine left i'm
mediately with Drs. Beach and Wells,
but the victim was dead before their
arrival. The remains were brought
to- town and emba1med at Wiley &
Woods, and the Red Men, of which
order Dobson was a member, took
charge of them.
Deceased was unmarried and about
- years of age, his father and mother
living in Solomon, Kansas. The
lines being down, operator Shelly went
to Olympia Tuesday in the hope Of ad-
vising the family of the death and as
certaining their wishes IN regard to
the remains

as hard as we remember to have seen
it blow in this country, and in the tim

hurricane, but one OF those Eastern
Injuries has never yet struck Puget
Sound. and for that we are thankful.
