Two men sustained injuries that
may result fatally and two more were
seriously injured by the falling of a
painters swing in the rear of the
Palace Hotel yesterday afternoon.

The accident was caused by over
weighing the swing At the time
ii happened there were six men on the
planking and the strain was too great.
The center rope, which is held in po-
sition on the roof. snapped and the
swing broke in the center. The four
men that were injured were pitched TO
the sidewalk. thirtyfve feet below.
but the two others, n. Spencer of 909
kearny street and C. Peterson of lis
Sixth street. clung to the two outer
ropes and landed safely.
The painters were working on the
Jessie-street side of the Palace Hotel
and had painted the building from the
roof down to the first story. Three of
them were on the swing and three
more stood on fire escape. Prepara-
tory to moving their apparatus the
three men that were on the fire oscar pc
climbed into the swing that they might
be lowered to the ground. Peterson
and Spencer released the end ropes
and Bort had charge of the center.
