BIG GUT MADE
At So. TACOMA
CAR SHOPS
AS RESULT OF SWITCHMEN'S
STRIKE TIME is REDUCED
IN MECHANICAL DEPART
MENT - WILL LOPP OFF
ABOUT $4,000 A MONTH.

Notice was posted in the
South Tacoma Northern Pacific
shops yesterday noon for a reduc-
tion of time for about 600 me-
chanics which will lop practical
ly $4,000 a month off the pay
roll as a result of the switch
mems strike.
In the mechanical department
of the plant the time was reduced
from six to five days and from
ten to eight hours. The pay of
the men will thereby be cut just
in proportion.
Since the strike of the switch
men on the line service has been
crippled so that nothing like the
usual operation has been posi-
BILE and the failure to operate
cars has made the necessity for
shop work also dwindle until tn
work is so slack that the men
have been reduced in time to
correspond ito the reduction in
business along the line.
The loss of 100000 in the pay
roll of the big plant at South Ia
coma every month will be felt by
the men and the business houses
of the city and especially of tSout h
Tacoma. where most of the men
employed reside and make their
purchases of the necessities OF
life.

KILLED ON
TRESTLE
BY CAR

While crossing the high tres
tie which spans the deep ravine
just beyond the city limits TT
Fern Hill, last night, Joseph
Holstead, fireman from the Bis
marck mill, was run down and
killed by an outbound car. Hol-
stead had no chance to escape.
He was not seen by Motorma1
w. R. Snyder until the car was
within so feet of him. Appar-
emily he did not hear the warn
ing gong and did not turn
around.
His body was dragged by the
car, the neck being broken AMI
the head so badly mutilated that
recognition was difficult.
Holstead was crossing the 800
foot trestle at about 1895, going
home from work, when the out
bound car approached. The tres
tie is the private right-of-way OF
the Tacoma Railway & Power
company, but is frequently used
by pedestrians in preference to
the county road, closely. The
structure is no wider than the
ties and there is no escape from
an approaching car ecept to leap
to the gorge below.
In addition to Holstead's other
injuries. the flesh was stripped
from one arm from the elbow
down. The body was taken to
the undertaking parlors of Buck
ley &King. No funeral arrange.
ments have been made.
Owing to the rain, the motor.
man states that he was unable
to see the slain man until the cl-
was almost on him. He applied
the emergency brakes but WIS
unable to stop the car In time.
Statements that the car had no
headlight burning are emphatical-
lydenied by the street railway OF
ficials.
Holstead live dat Hanson s
crossing with his young wife and
two children. He recently bought
a comfortable home there but II
is not entirely paid for and in his
efforts to pay the debt he had
allowed his insurance policy TO
lapse.

FINISHING PLANS
FOR SHORT LINE

Plans are being completed in
this city now for the Seattle-Taco-
ma short line interurban and the
project is to be pushed to success.
Engineer Would has finished To-
eating the line and is working up
the detailed plans for construction
now. He has prepared the grade
plans for getting into Tacoma and
according to the figures the line
will have less than 1 1-2 per cent
grade to get from the Lincoln ove-
nue. tracks up onto the top of the
bluff along which it will run to
Seattle.
The time is drawing near for
the completion of the line, accord
ing to the letter of the original
franchise granted by the council,
and an extension of time will be
asked by the council.
The engineer states that a new
bridge will be built over the water
way at Eleventh street. Negotia-
tions with the city will probably
be taken up soon on this matter.

HEALE. WHO DISAPPEAR-
ED DURING THE HEAVY

ward just insite the fence of
the Smith premises.
Heale had tied a pocket hand
kerchief about his face to pro-
tect him from the storm, but was
poorly dressed in overalls and a
soft shirt. He left the Smith
residence on the evening of De-
cember l in an intoxicated con-
dition and had not been heard
from since.
Was Not Missed.
AS he had been living alone in
various lodging houses he was
not missed. Orris Ridgley, 4006

carpenters position which Heale
had sought when he met death,
discovered the body as he was
leaving the Smith residence.
Left During Big Storm.
Heale started from the Smith
residence on Wednesday evening,
leaving the house In the midst OF
the heavy snow storm. Nearly
foot. of snow fell in this section
of the city and the body has re-
mained completely covered until
today, when the sun appeared ani
completed the thaw which last
nights rain began.
Was Drinking Heavily.
"Heale is an old acquaintance
and was figuring on a contract to
build a house for me-" said
Smith this morning. "He had
spent Tuesday and Wednesday at
my house, and Wednesday night.
while / was away, started to go
downtown. He left at 7:45 and

fortunate man, on the same even
ing and asked him to take care
of his fateher in his intoxicated
condition. Young Heale Is en-
Iployed at Nelson's billiard parlors

JURY FIXES VALUE OF FORTY
ACRES SOUGHT FOR LINE
ALONG NARROWS.

The Northern Pacific railway
must pay John s. Baker and Ladd
and Gunston for their Narrows
holdings, amounting to about 40
acres of waterfront. $4,000, ac-
cording to the decree of the jury
in federal court this morning.
All night the jury wrestled with
the proposition. The land taken
starts at the mouth of the tunnel
on the Narrows extending along
the water edge for nearly two
miles and practically shuts off all
the rest OF the property for the
distance from access to the water.
