They Will Dance.

The Douglas Harmony Band will give a dance at Natatorium Hall on Friday evening next. The boys will be out with their new uniforms on, doing the honors of the occasion. Now is the time for the good people of Douglas to show by their actions that they appre- ciate the efforts of the boys to give us first class band, by patronizing them literally. The boys need money to pay for new music, an instructor, and, if possible, new instruments.
 The tickets are $100 each, and every man in Douglas can afford to buy one whether he can dance or not. For those who dance, the enjoyment of the occasion will repay them amply for so small an outlay.
 Let everybody dance.

A Pleasant Party.
Let everybody dance.

One of the incest little affairs ever given in Douglas was dancing party given by the Y. M. R. c. to the ladies of the Y. w. R. c. last Monday evening at Ohman's Hall.
 Our readers may wonder what the mystic letters "Y. M. R. O." stand for. To be candid we must admit that we are blissfully ignorant on that subject. But the fact remains that they and their guests, "the ladies'" passed very pleasant evening and no questions asked.

, saattla paper of July 18th says

A Seattle paper of July 18th says: "Mabel Fowler told the court this morning that she thought she had sup ported her husband long enough. They were married in Douglas, Alaska, and short time afterwards had trouble. She came down to Seattle and secured em- ployment in variety theatre. She told the court that she was professional musician and vaudeville performer, and by this means provided for her mother and child. Judge Griffin granted the divorce" Mrs. Fowler was better known as Vena Aberdeen.

AT THE TREADWELL. Hoist Man and Two Oth- CTS Killed This
 Morning.

Three are dead and four are more or less seriously injured, as the result of the breaking of the cable at the new Treadwel hoist, this morning at 1:30 o'clock.
 The dead are:
 T.J. Welch-hoist man.
 Ole Linge-miner.
 Joe Leon-miner.
 The injured are:
 NelsJ. Peterson, leg badly broken
 John Arthur, shoulder sprained.
 Knut Hanson, bruised.
 -Jackson, bruised.
 Without any warning whatever the cable, which, attached to the big steam winch, raises and lowers the ore skips in the big shaft, broke. The skip, which itself weighs over tons, loaded with tons of ore crashed to the bot tom of the shaft.
 Thomas Welch had charge of the smaller hoist, used to raise and lower the men. His position was in front of the big hoist, or between it and the shaft. When the big cable parted the loose end coiled around like serpent, catching Welch in it's folds, killing him instantly. He was torn and bruised and the upper part of his head was torn completely away.
 The skip in it's downward path to the bottom of the shaft, carried destruc- tion and death with it. The shaft is down about 900 feet. Six men employ ed by contractor Albion Bartello were in the bottom of the shaft, working three drills. A bulkhead is built at the 750 it. level, from which level ore was being hoisted. When the skip fell it crashed through the bulkhead and the whole thing, skip, timbers and all fell to the bottom on top of the men. The shaft is twenty feet across, and this fact only accounts for the escape of the men.
 Shift boss Frank Burns was at the 440 level when the accident occurred. He climbed down the ladders to the 75O level. From there bucket works to the bottom. He found the pump which keeps the shaft clear of water, stopped, and the pump man nowhere to be found. It was an anxious moment until Burns found that he could start that pump, ,for,if that refused to work, any of the men who might be alive in the shaft would be drowned like rats. But it worked. On reaching the bot tom of the shaft MT. Burns accompan- jed by Mir. Goldensmith and some other men, found that two of the men could be liberated from their perilous posi- tion by few moments work. This was done, and they were found to be

only slightly injured. Two others, more seriously injured but still alive, were taken out after 215 hours hard work. The bodies of the two killed were taken out at o'clock.
 With anything happens, some men lose their nerve. and others seem to be specially cool and active. Perhaps neither blame nor praise should attach in either case. Yet the coolness of MT. Thomas Tatom who was in charge of the big hoist at the time the cable broke was certainly remarkable.
 The two ore skips counter balance. When the cable parted and one skip fell, the other began to shoot down like lightning. With the cable whipping it's deadly coils all about him, he calm ly applied the brake and stopped the skip.
Douglas Island news., 1903-08-05

Thomas J. Welch,who was one of the victims of the accident this morning, has been mining in S. E. Alaska, and a resident of Douglas Island for several years. He has large circle of friends and acquaintances who will regret his untimely end. He was a member of Gastineaux Lodge, No. 124, F. 6 A. M., which organization will take charge of the remains.
 We understand he had father and sister living in New York, and who have been notified by wire of the sad occurrence.
