ACCIDENT AT ICE HOUSE
Falling Chunk Of Frozen Saw Dust In.
jurss Men at Work at Railroad
company's leo House.

Late last Friday afternoon, while at
work in the railroad company's ice
house, crew of workmen met with a
mishap which although quite badly
bruisipg some of them, luckily did not
result in any serious consequences.
AS is customary every year about
this time, the men were packing ice for
summer use, and at the time of the &C.
cident were busy cleaning up last
years saw dust. The force included
the yard crew, of which Philip Zillo
is foreman, and assisting in the VOL
were ROadmaster p. F. Connolly and
Assistant ROadmaster Peter Kleeh.
The men were working at the east end
of the ice house. Peter Olson was
chopping up the large solid mass OF
frozen saw dust when large chunk
sudde My broke off. He was pulled
down with it and his right shoulder
caught underneath. He was badly
bruised about the body, but the fall
did not result in any bones being
broken. Chas. Nystrom, another
workman, was caught under the slide
and had his right leg bruised. Jacob
Gerstle was also caught in the same
manner, but escaped without being in
jured. Mr.. Connolly, who was down
below, was struck by the chunk and
knocked down. He was badly bruised
about the body, receiving injuries In
the muscle of his right arm, besides
the right leg and the instep of his left
foot. Four other workmen came down
with the slide, but they we're uninjured.
The usual precautions had been taken
to prevent an accident, but even with
the greatest care the nature OF it was
such that it could not be avoided.
The injured men we're incapacitated
from work for time, but are to be
congratulated that they did not fare
worse in the accident Mr.. Connolly
will be unable to resume active duties
for some time.

BIG TENT BLOWN DOWN.
Score Of Christian Endeavorers In

Denver, July 1.-THE big tent En-
deavor where the Christian Endeavor
convention has been held for the past
four days. was blown over Monday af-
ternoon while more than 5000 people
were attending the proceedings.
The injured number nearly a score,
but fortunately none of them was Sc
riously hurt.
Mrs. Jessie Thornburg of Denver
was the most seriously injured, her
nose being badly gashed and her
scalp suffering several wounds.
The presence of mind of A. NJ. RAM
sey of Chicago, who sprang to a chair
and called to the people to hold up the
canvas and poles, undoubtedly pre-
vented many from suffocation. Many
women tainted and were extricated
from the folds of the canvas with much
difficulty. Mrs. Winfred Sleep of Der
yer, who was in charge of St. Marks
hospital tent, seeing the catastrophe
at the big tent close by, telephoned the
electric light company to shut off the
current. This prevented any damage
from the live wires that had fallen
with the tent poles. When the major
ity were extricated from the canvas
folds. all gathered round in the open
air and an impromptu praise service
was held.
