The accident was very peculiar
Brusher was running his car down

directly ahead, on the main track. He
Immediately applied the brakes, but
they refused to respond, and with
great speed and increasing impetus
the freight car crashed into the rear

coaches to considerable extent.
Brusher was wedged in between the
two cars and it was several minutes

whitman county, to settle the ques-
ton of whether saloons shall be
tolerated or not
Much quiet work has been done
along this line by the temperance
people and it is planned to hold cleo
lions in every precinct in eastern
Washington at the same time. Many
of the counties of eastern Washing
ton will hold elections to vote on
this question and the design and de-
sire of the temperance people is to
hold all of these elections at the
same time so that "floaters" cannot
be sent by the saloon forces from
one town to another to vote in sew
eral places, and so that the forces of
the liquor element cannot combine
to defeat the election in one place
and then move on to another.
The meeting is to be held in the
Methodist church at Garfield at 1870
on Thursday, July 20. Every voter
in the county, interested in routing
the saloons from Whitman county is
requested to be present and assist in
the work of formulating the cam
paign of action. A large attendance
is expected.
There are 10 incorporated towns
in Whitman county as follows: Col
fax, Pullman, Palouse, Tekoa, Gar
field, Oakesdale, Uniontown Cotton,
Pennington, Elberton, ST. John and
Endicott. The county commission
ers have the granting of licenses in
unincorpOrated towns, and it is said
that the board has practically agreed
that no saloon licenses will be grant
ed by it. That will save holding
elections in unincorporated towns
and country precincts, and the fight
will be confined to incorporated towns
named above. While a number of
these towns have no saloons it is de-
sired to hold the elections and get
the sentiment of the people on the
question and that will eliminate the
saloon question from the city cleo
tons held in these towns, 1t is un-
derstood that if the people vote to
have no saloons the question will be
settled for at least two years.
R. c. McCroskey, of Garfield, is one
of the prime movers in this cam
paign and is lending ii much strength
Senator McCroskey is a man OF much
influence and is anxious to have
other towns try the experiment tried
at Garfield more than Is years ago.
