One Of the most deplorable accidents
that ever took place In this portion Of
the territory occurred yesterday after.
noon when Dell Knapp, Joe Leach and
man who IL still unidentified were
crushed to death beneath the wheels
Of heavy log wagons during u runaway
Of four mule teams. The three men
were employees of the J. a. Ware Con.
siruction company who are building
the Tucumcari and Memphis railroad
and two Of them were drivers Of the
runaway wagons.
The accident occurred at the first
camp twelve miles out on the grade
and only three hundred yards from the
camp where the men were returning
after the days labor. The teams had
been hauling bridge timbers from this
city to the grade and were on their
way to camp with empty wagons after
they had been unloaded. There were
four wagons in all, each with four
mules and about eleven men were work.

along between the top OF AN old cut

team Of the second wagon, driven by
Charlie Golfers, became frightened at

being dashed down hin at n terrific
speed.

Leach who was the first 10 he hurled

was on the same wagon but he stuck
to his seat until the team stopped Of
its own accord. Such a cloud Of dust
was raised by the mules hoofs that no
one saw the men fall and IL was not
until the commotion was all over that
they were found strewn along the
road side.
The second team in charge Of char.

The animal was the property OF

remained at the bier, positively re-
fusing food for three days.
On the day of the funeral it fol-
lowed the procession to the cemetery
and when the corpse was lowered into
the grave strong hands had to hold 1t

TAKES SHOT At BOX
BUSTING
OSCAR REDFIELD SAYS "OMELET
AND SAUSAGE OF FORGOTTEN
YEARS" FOR HIM RATHER
THAN OPEN HIS FRUIT.

Cashmere, May 12.-Editor Daily
World: am so happy since the COM
missioners have decided to cut out
the "box busting program of the
fruit inspector.
Personally and socially I respect
Mr.. Darlington and his assistants.
Officially the lack of respect I have
for them amounts to disgust. This
may be treason but l can not help it..
I had rather they would lombard
Ime with "omelet and sausage of for
gotten years" than open a box of my
fruit
I don't see how any one with a
particle of pride about him could feel
otherwise.
Mr.. Darlington cites Walla Walla
as an awful example of what we will
come to if his services are dispensed
with during the shipping season.
If he had called our attention to
Hood River he would have to put up
a different argument. Perhaps he
has not heard of that neck of the
woods-nor have the fruit growers
of that valley established a national
reputation for good clean fruit and
an honest pack
1t would make interesting reading
and the inspector would not be men
toned in the story. 1t could be read
with profit by him and members of
the commercial club who are clam
oring for this goose which lays the
golden eggs.
The goose" is Darlington-her
diet is big red apples, furnished by
the fruit growers of Chelan county.
Let's chop her head off.
He is unnecessarily alarmed about
infected fruit going east-the buyer
will look after that part of the bust
ness. Should a grower consign car
of bum fruit east or west he Will
learn a lesson that will last him
lifetime.
Hoping that the commissioners will
remain firm and steadfast, I am,
Yours truly,
OSCAR REDFIELD.
