In the manufacture of linoleum no
unprotected lights are allowed in the

OF the great danger of exploding the
cork dust floating in the air. An addi-
tional danger in Iinoleum making is
that the mixture of cement and cork
dust has the unpleasant property of
spontaneously igniting IL left in a
warm place. 1t is therefore custom
airy to mix the material a sackful at a

of old barrels. Grogging is a recogniz-
ed trade in some slums. You get hold
of old whisky barrels wherein spirits
have been maturing for years. and you
pour into these barrels boiling hot wa
ter, and you wait a few days. The rc-
suit of your waiting is that the hot
water turns to whisky. The wood o:
the Old barrels. YOU see. is so saturated
with spirits that the hot water draws
out enough TO make strong grade of

WASHINGTON. MONDAY
TRAGIC SECRET
UNS0[vEO
ONLY WOMEN WITH HIM CAN
TELL WHY EDWARD NELSON
PLUNGED TO DEATH At
PARK, AND THEY ARE MISS
ING.

Edward Nelson, age %, a night
bartender at the Anaconda saloon,
205 Washington ST., was caught in
the cable at the scenic railway at
Natatorium park yesterday after
noon. The car was on the straight
away track on the first elevation
when Nelson was seen to stand up
and the next instant plunge OFF to-
ward the ground. He struck the
fence and bounded back onto the
track, where the cable caught and
wound around his body. He was
dead before the machinery could
be stopped 1t took workmen an
hour to disentangle the remains.
There were young women in the
car with Nelson. They disappeared
Immediately after the accident and
cannot be found. Coroner Witter
will hold no inquest, declaring the
death accidental. 1t has been sug-
gested that Nelson committed sui
eide. Another suggestion is that
he attempted in bravado to leap to
the ground but struck the fence and
bounded back into the cable. 1t is
possible that one of his companions
dared him to attempt the leap.
A bottle of whiskey was found on
the ground near where the acct
dent occurred, but Nelson was not
known to drink to excess and had
not been drinking when he left for
the park. He was at the saloon in
the afternoon and stated that he
was going to the park to spend a
few hours before going on shift.
Nelson's parents live in Norway.
Before coming to Spokane he was
employed with grading crew on
the Milwaukee near st. Regis,
Mont. He had been bartender at
the Anaconda for weeks only. The
remains will be held at Buchanan's
until his parents can be commune
