FRIEND IN AUTO WRECK

Mr. and Mrs. John Godfrey, of this
city, are much panied at an auto
accident which happened to Mr.. and
Mrs. H. NJ. Young, of Seattle, Sun
day evening. The Youngs were On
tario, Canada, friends of the God
freys and they later visited with
them in their Seattle home last
month.
Mr.. and Mrs Young were return
ing from a ride and turned from
Woodland Park avenue into Thirty
ninth street, on their way home The
grade up the hill is very steep. Half
the distance had been climbed when
the power gave out Mr.. Young got
out of the machine to push it up the
hill, leaving Mrs. Young at the lever
and to manage the brakes. The ma
chine got beyond her control and
started backwards down the hill,
Young tried to stop it by bracing
himself against the machine, but fail
ing, climbed in and tried to apply the
brakes. BY that time the auto had
gained such momentum that the
brakes were either not effective or
refused to work.
The machine attained a terrific
speed in the half square 1t travelled.
1t suddenly veered to one side Of the
street, and, striking the terrace of
A. e. Dearborn's yard, at the corner
of Thirty-ninth street and Woodland
Park avenue. stopped short and
turned completely over. Mrs. Young
was pinned to the sidewalk under
the heavy part Of the car, while Mr..
Young was thrown out. He gained
his feet and tried to lift the machine
off his wife, but could not move 1t.
In few minutes persons living in
the neighborhood and pedestrians
came to the rescue. Mr.. Young was
carried home on a cot and Mr.. Young
was able to walk with assistance. Dr.
Maxson was summoned, but Mrs.
Young died within an hour after the
accident Several Of her ribs were
broken, her chest was crushed and
her skull fractured at the base.
Mr.. Young's injuries are not re-
garded as serious. He is badly
bruised and his back is strained. The
accident happened so quickly that he
has no clear idea of what took place
from the time the machine statred
down hill.

inquiries from parties who might be
induced to put up the necessary cash
for this purpose.
The Waterville committee will
meet here tomorrow evening with the
local committee.
One of the first things that the
committee have in view is the MAX

sary data as to the probable tonnage,
making complete data to place before
probable investors.

IDENTIFIED THE
WARD KILLED
MAN is BROTHER OF HENRY B.
WARD WHO LIVES ON THE
SOUILICHUCK - HIS WIFE is
HERE.

The identity of the man, William
Ward, killed in the Occur d'Alene-
Spokane wreck of last Saturday night
was discovered today. On the person
of the man killed was a letter from
Myrtle Ward, of Wenatchee. After
the death the authorities wired Myr-
tie Ward and the telegram went to
another Myrtle Ward, who is
daughter of William Ward now of
Oregon. Yesterday j. P. Ward, after
making a careful investigation salts
fed himself that it was not his bro
ther that was killed and there must
be another Myrtle Ward in the val
ley. The telegram was put in the
postoffice and today it reached Mrs.
Myrtle Ward, who is visiting at the
home of her brother-in-law, Henry
B. Ward of the Squillchuck.
William Ward, the man who was
killed, and his wife, arrived here
short time ago from Pasadena, Cal,
and after visiting here for week or
ten days Mr.. Ward went on to Spo-
kane with the idea of registering for
land. 1t was on this trip that he
was killed.
Mrs. Ward received the telegram
through the postoffice today, and
with her brother-in-law came into
the city today for the purpose OF
positively satisfying themselves OF
the death. An additional telegram
came today from the Occur d'Alene
Undertaking company stating that
there were a number of travellers
checks found on the man and they
were made payable to Myrtle Ward.
Mrs. Ward had little doubt this
afternoon on first arriving In the city
as to it being her husband who was
killed, as somebody in the city had
told her that he had talked with her
husband Saturday and that being the
case it could not be him, but later
in the afternoon she seemed salts
fed in her own mind that it was her
husband and she is almost PROSTATE
over the news. The Wards are; said
to be well-to-do people of Pasadena
and besides the wife there is a
daughter who will mourn the death
of her father. 1t is likely that Mrs.
Ward will leave on the AFTERNOON
train for COeur d'Alene.

Connolly WENAT-
CHEZ OFFENDER
WAS THE MAN WHO CASHED
COLUMBIA RIVER LUMBER
COMPANY CHECK AND ALSO
G. 4 0. CHECK.

Sheriff Ferguson has word this
morning from Spokane saying that
the man arrested in Spokane as
Thomas Connolly, known also as
Thos. Mack and Thomas Comke, was
the man who, last fall. cashed the
Columbia River Lumber company
check made payable to the c. & O.
Steamboat company This check was
for $6292. He was also the man
who cashed the check made out by
the government to the c. & o. Steam
boat company for $11.15. Follow
ing the arrest of Connolly in Spo-
kane, he confessed to the officers of
having operated in Wenatchee. Sher-
iff Ferguson believed him to have
been the man who operated here last
winter and wrote the Spokane off,
GERS regarding his suspicious. Con-
nelly confessed and stated that he
had taken the three warrants made
out from the government to the C..
& O. Steamboat company, one for
$11.15, another for $500 and an
other for $500. but he was unable
to use the larger warrants and CASH
ed nothing but the one for $11.15.
Connelly's plan of operation was to
go into the postoffice, remove the
glass front from the boxes and take
out what mail he wanted. Connolly
will not be tried for his crime in this
city but the Spokane and federal Off
cials have strong enough cases
against the man to give him a long
time in the penitentiary.

SEATTLE TO VAN I
COUvER BY AUTO
o. Is. FULLER AND JOHN A. GEL
LATLY, WITH THEIR FAMILIES,
HAD VERY PLEASANT FIVE
DAYS TRIP.

o. B. Fuller and Mayor John A.
Gellatly returned last night from Sc
attic. They will spend some few
days here attending to business mat
ters and then expect to return to the
Sound. Both men are full of an en-
joyable trip they had last week. They
left Seattle Wednesday for Vancou-
yer, B. c., and did not return until
Sunday. In the Gellatly car were
Mr.. and Mrs. Gellatly, their son and
daughter. In the o. B. Fuller car
were Mr.. and Mrs. o. B. Fuller, Mrs.
Jack Scamen. Miss Ethel McCutcheon
and Dave Gellatly. Mr.. Fuller, in
speaking of the trip, said: Il never
made a more enjoyable trip than the
one between Vancouver and Seattle.
The roads were magnificent, as they
had been graded between Seattle and
Bellingham and they passed through
the timber most of the way. The
roads were straight and we could see
miles ahead and autoing is a pleas
ure on roads such as We had. l not
iced one thing about the roads on
the Sound that might be lesson to
us over here. While the land is not
worth IS per acre to our $500 over
here, yet road building is considered
a necessity and in the summer time
anyway the roads are perfect. Mile
after mile a machine can pass over
those roads and there will not be
. a chuck hole nor bit of dust. The
roads pass through the timber good
portion of the way and there suf-
ficient dew falls to keep down the
dust and it is an ideal country for a
machine. Here it is up to us to use
rock on our roads and if we are going
to offer any inducement for Sound
automobilists to make trips to this
valley we have got to get busy with
the roads. We have the richest lit
tie valley in the world and yet there
is nowhere where the roads are as
abominable for horseback riding,
teams, bicycles or automobiles.

NO REPORT ON THE
BRIDGE
HIGHWAY COMMISSION SPENT
THE BRIDGE BUT GIVE OUT
NO INFORMATION.

Nothing definite is known as to
the report of the state highway COM
mission on the Wenatchee bridge.
The members of the commission
spent several days here last week
with the engineers, but left for Seat
tie without giving out any definite
information. 1t is likely that the re-
port will be forwarded to the gov
ernor first before it is made public.
Tests were made with a view of
discovering alleged damage to the
concrete piers caused by using dyna-
mite for opening holes for the anchor
bolts and also to ascertain whether
the anchor bolts were securely placed
in the piers.
A pressure of SO tons was put on
each of the bolts, but they did not
waver. The work of the examiners
will be reported on by them to the
state board and the result of the test
in full has not been given out. En-
gineer Bowerman conducted the test
for the commission and the company
was represented by the company's
engineer, W. Hierzog. who has had
charge of the Great Northern work
in Tumwater canyon

CROWDS At THEATRE

On the return of Frank B. Tanning
and his associate players to the local
theatre last night the cozy little
house was packed to the doors, AMI
as the curtain calls were numerous
the audience seemed to be more than
pleased.
F. B. Tanning in the title role GER
tainly left nothing to be desired, and
his conception of John Storm was,
without a doubt, one of the strong
est pieces of acting yet seen on the
local stage. But as Mr. Tanning has
always pleased us it is not necessary
to say any more of his ability. Miss
Virginia Weaver in the part of Gloria
made an exceptionally strong i'm
preston on the Wenatchee theatre
goers by the acceptable way she
played this difficult role. Eugene
Phelps as Horatio Drake was very
as was Mr. Cleveland and
Mr.. Crockett Mr.. Bonner as the viii
lain was quite despicable and man
aged to gain the dislike of all pres
ent by his clever acting. Mr.. VAL
more as Brother Paul also did ex-,
tremely well. Miss Jessie Terry and
Miss Sydney Farmer in the parts of
Mrs. Chandler and Polly Love. res
pectively, although the parts were
small, these ladies showed that they
were actresses of enviable ability.
All in all 1.-THE Christian" was
decided hit.
Tonight the play will be "In Old
and as it is one of the
best comedy-dramas on the road the
house is sure to again be packed to
its utmost capacity.
