F,A. Spalinger and E. R. Nail Covered
by Tons of Earth---The Accident Was
Due to Dislodging the Braces Which
Held the Cribbing in Place---Ohe Vic
tim Had Family Living Here.

were heart-broken under the fatality
which removed from them a father
and a husband. w. T. Simmons and
J. o. Barclay carried the SAD news
to the family.
The other victim of the accident
was E. r. Nail, whose home is in
oregon. For some months he was
fireman on the steamer Yakima, but
for several weeks he has been work
ing for Ball & McNerney. He has
been rooming at the Park hotel, in
this city, and only last night paid his
board and room rent in advance.
Mr.. Spalinger is very we'll spoken
of by those who have become ac-
quainted with him during his resi-
dence here. He had only recently
purchased property in Okanogan
county and expected to remove there
during the coming few weeks. He
had planned on making this his last
day on the water works job.
Both Messrs. Ball and McNerney,
the contractors, regret this accident
very keenly. Said Mr.. McNerney:
81 have been contracting for the past
80 years and this is the first fatality
in any work in which I have been
in charge. The work was being done
strictly according to my directions.
We use the same form of cribbing
that is used on all excavation work,
and the accident could not have oc-
Cured without some heavy load had
dislodged the braces, which held the
cribbing in place. Both the dead
men were good workers"
Coroner Saunders will hold an in
quest on the dead men this after
noon.

County Board Recognizes Needs of the
A. Y. P. E.---Empower Percy Scheble
to Buy and Distribute Fifty Pair of
Chinese Pheasants---$1OO0 Appropri-
ated for Chelan Road.

The board of commissioners which
has been in session this week, was
very liberal in the matter of appro-
priating for the Alaska-Yukon-Pa acific
4 Aexposition It was ordered that $4,-
GOO be appropriated for assisting in
the display, but the appropriation
was with the proviso that additional
space be granted for display pur-
poses. This appropriation was made
at the request of the local exposi-
ton committee.
Secretary Gellatly made a trip to
Seattle to see the management of the
Seattle exposition and it is thought
that it will be no trouble in securing
more space. This was the most i'm
portant matter transacted by the
board, though there was great
many road matters that are of par
ticular interest to various localities
of the county.
On the petition of Prosecuting At
torney Kemp, a deputy was allowed
him for the months of April AMI May,
at a monthly salary of SIS.
Undertaken E. F. Sprague was
given the contract for the burial of

tract was rejected on account of un-

commissioners.

Trwo lives were snuffed out sud-
denly this morning. at cave-in on
the water main being dug by Ball &,
McNerney, the city waterworks con-
tractors, at point near c. E. Owen s
residence, on Douglas street. The
men killed were F. A Spalinger and
e. r. Nail.
The accident happened about
1920 Fellow workmen on the main
hurriedly set to work and removed
the tons of sand that had covered
them, but life was extinct when they
were taken from the excavation.
There were no witnesses to the acci-
dent.
The only explanation of the cave
in that could be offered by Messrs.
Ball & McNerney was that while the
men were lowering length of wool
en- pipe that is being laid in this
main, the pipe fell heavily against
the lower brace that held the crib
bIng in place and this allowed the
weight of the sand to press the
cribbing in, and the sand came in
$50 rapid ly that the men were soon
kSNried.
Mr.. Spa,inger, with his family, a
wife and two boys, aged about 13
and IA, arrived here early this
spring. He was about As years of
age and has been living On North
G street, opposite the Duff residence
The bereaved ones were notified i'm
mediately after the accident, and

Editor Daily World:
In yesterdays issue of your paper
notice an article signed by Mr.. O.
B. Fuller, in which he states that
the voters want to know what the
money is to be used for in case the
$4,000 bond issue carries.
AS mayor of the city, l am pleased
to have such questions propounded
by the taxpayers, in order that all
may have clear understanding of
affairs before voting such an obliga-
ton. I do not, however, voice the
sentiment displayed by way of dis
trust, inuendo, and reflection cast at
a city council, honestly and fairly
elected by the people of the city, at
least not until they have shown some
sign of responsibility.
His principal hazard seems to be
that the members of the council who
are making an effort to rid the city
of saloons and similar classes of bust
ness by refusing to continue as part
ners in this traffic, in granting IL
censes, are trying to work some back
gate scheme to cover the true intent
Of the bond issue.
Mr.. Fuller and everyone else who
has taken the time to inquire, knows
that the call for bonds reads exactly
as 1t did In the prior election, when
there was no contest on over the
question. He also knows and does
everyone else who has the honest
purpose at heart, that the extra $10,-
300 is being asked for the purpose
,f extending the main sewers, and
