IS EX0NERATED
EENOSHA AUTO ACCIDENT LAID TO
BAD. ROADS.
Sensational Fatality of Oct Is Re.
called by Witnesses-Driver, Though
Hurt, Tried to Save Victim.

kENOSHA, Wis. Oct. 26.-TSpecial. I
Accidental Death is the verdict of the
coroner's jury upon the death of Harvey
j. Gibson or October in an automobile
wreck. 1t IS probable that some suit for
damages brought either by the heirs of
the late Harvey Gibson or by Edward
Collier will be started against the town
board of Salem as the evidence at the
inquest showed that the accident was
directly due to the condition of the road.
Inc witnesses before the jury included
Edward Collier. the driver of the auto
mobile; Peter Petersen. the man who
drove the horse attached to the buggy
which Collier attempted to pass at the
time of the accident; DR.. W. W. War
rlner of Antioch and John Gaggin, who
resides near the scene of the accident.
Pedersen declared that he saw the au-
tomoblle coming over the crown of the
hill 400 feet in front of him and seeing
that 1t would be impossible for the auto
mobile and the buggy to pass he had
leaped from his buggy and taken his
chances OF rolling to safety down the
embankment on the side of the road.
Collier testified that the high weeds on
the side OF the roadways made it appear
as II 1t were possible for him to pass the
vehicle: He declared that the machine
went 40 feet after it hit the empank-
ment.
Collier stated that he was left alone
with Gibson after the accident and al
though badly injured he had attempted
to raise the heavy automobile from the
body of Gibson, but found the task i'm
possible.
Every witness on the stand testified
that Collier was not intoxicated when
he was removed from the wreck of the
automobile.
1t is thought that the county board
acting on the recommendation of the
coroner's jury will pass a vigorous reso-
luton in favor of wider roadways.

DIES rs C0RNICE FALLS
FOREMAN ON NEW CAPITOL FALLS
SEVENTY FEET TO HIS DOOM.
Four-Ton Granite Block Tears Out Mass
of Stonework-$3O, 900 Damage
Sustained by Contractors.

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 25-Overbal-
anced by the weight of a four-ton block
of granite which was being set in place,
the cornice of 4 portion of the west wing
of the new $6,00OOO0 capitol, fell Sun
day afternoon, killing Foreman Daniel
Logan of Chicago, and causing $4,000
damage to the structure.
Logan and Frank Bliss were on top
of the cornice trying to swing the block
into position. Bliss saved himself by
jumping back through a nearby window,
but Logan, who was near the outer edge,
fell with 800 tons of granite seventy
feet to the ground below. Logan's skull
was crushed.
Logan was employed by the Woodbury.
Granite company of Hartwick, Vt.
which is building the new capitol, and
had been here two years. He expected
to go to Chicago in a few DAYS and
same company is building. He was 80
years old and leaves a widow and a son
: years old.
In 1888 the west wing of the old capt.
tOl fell while in course of construction,
and eight workmen were killed.
Three workmen were on the ground
beneath the cornice when the stone be-
gan 10 break loose. Hearing the grlndlng
of the masonry as the big block began to
move the men ran away to places of
safety. These were Engineer e. J. Da-
mon. Tagman Otto W. Scheer and Help
er Patrick Powers, all residents of Mad
Non. Construction Superintendent John
II. Gormley and Capitol Policeman John
g. Jennings were near by, but were I'M
injured.
The crash of the falling granite could
he heard for blocks and soon q large
crowd of spectators were on the scene.
The city and capitol policemen soon took
charge of the situation and kept the Gu
rious out of the danger zone. 1t was
feared for time that more of the gran
tie would fall.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-There was
great excitement in the cotton market
today, prices making new high records
owing to the big gains in Liverpool. a
bullish crop estimate by a prominent
English expert, a scarcity of shorts, and
general buying. December cotton sold
at AL and May at 1425, about 10 to
20 points higher than Saturday. There
was enormous realizing, particularly as
the census report showed rather more
cotton ginned to October IS than recent

Woman Insured for $1,000. 900.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 26.-By taking
out 100000 of life insurance Yesterday,
Mrs. Charles Netcher. owner of the Ros-
ton store, increased the amount of her
policies to 100000, thereby becoming,
it is believed, the most heavily insured
woman in America. The new policy is
doubly interesting because of the fact
that until recently most companies would
not accept women at all and even now
the limit on women is smaller than on
men. The new insurance was placed in
the Equitable Life by William B. Car
lie, Chicago manager of the Mutual Life
of New York, who had previously in
sured Mrs. Netcher's husband. the late
Charles Netcher, for 100000.
