THREE men INJURED
BY AN ACCIDENT YESTERDAY
MORNING AT THE RIVERSIDE
PUMPING STATION IN
BENWOOD.
THEY FELL FROM A scAFFoLD
Homer Linaberger Had His Skull
Fractured, But May Recover.
Francis Long Had His Left Leg
Taken or, and William Barlow
Had His Arm Hurt.

A force of ten men were at work on
scaffold yesterday morning shortly
past nine o'clock at the new pumping
station at the Riverside works, in Ben
wood, when the structure gave way and
as result three of the workmen were
injured, one seriously and the other two
painfully. The men were handling a
heavy piece of pipe, which they intend
ed to lower into ditch beneath them,
when the accident happened and they
were precipitated to the ground dis
lance of about ten feet with consider
able force.
Francis Long, of Boggs' run, had his
lefEaiHh severely crushed; Homer
Linaberger sustained fracture OF his
skull and William Barlow had his arm
painfully hurt. The injured men were
cared for by their fellow workmen and
medical aid was hastily summoned.
Long was taken to the Emergency hos
pftal, where it was found necessary to
anputate his leg. Later he was remov-
ed to his home, about mile and half
out the run. Linaberger was taken TO
his home in Upper Benwood and Bar
low to his residence on Boggs run
where their injuries were properly
dressed. Longs leg was struck by a
heavy piece of iron and Linaberger was
struck on the head by a board. All
the other men were not injured beyond
being severely shaken UP and were soon
able to continue their work.
The attending physician stated last
night that Linaberger was resting as
comfortably as could be expected under
the circumstances, and while his condi-
ton was serious there were hopes for
his recovery. The other two unfortun-
ate workmen, who sustained less seri-
Gus injuries than Linaberger, were also
resting easily. Long will consequently
be confined to his bed for some time.
Barlow it is thought will be able to re-
turn to his duties in few days.

Benefit Affair.
BICYCLE ICE TRIP.
Dawson to skagwny, Alaska, by
Bicycle.

dawson 10 SkasHvnys Alaska, by
Bicycle.
E. P. Leroy, a newspaper correspond
ent, was the first one to make the trip
successfully from Dawson to Skagway,
300 miles, over the ice on a bicycle.
He WAS eight days on the way and en-
countered one of the heaviest snow
storms of the season. He comments
on the universal fact that men in the
Arctic climate have scuryy and stomach
trouble because of poorly cooked food.
He says when he first went to Alaska
he had good stomach, but it finally
gave out; and one day in his search for
something that man without an ap-
petite could eat, he came across some
packages OF Grape-Nuts food. He
knew of the food apd its value and was
willing to pay !. of an ounce of gold
dust $4,000 for one package.
He says: Il can assure you the salts
faction of getting something could eat
and digest without suffering was well
worth the price. AS soon as il had
proved to be just what / wanted, l
bought the whole lot, and from that day
to this. Grape-Nuts food has constituted
my chief article of diet.
Il find that Grape-Nuts is quickly
picked UP as soon as new lot comes
to camp, There is nothing known that
gives the miner and frontiersman the
strength, with so little volume, as
Grape-Nuts food, and it Is always ready
for use, being perfectly cooked, and
can be eaten dry or with little cream,
milk, OF water, hot or cold, just as a
man likes. | could not have taken any
food that would have carried me
through my long journey on the ice so
well as Grape-Nuts. ?
