LIFE SAVED
BY DREAM

SCENIC HOT SPRINGS, Wash,
March 3.-Awakened fifteen min
utes before the great avalanche at
Wellington by a dream, and liter
ally forced to dress and walk to a
bunk house, just in time to escape
being hurled to death with the
others, is the story Charles s. An
drews, an engineer, whose home is
at Leavenworth. tells today.
Andrews says he was awakened
from sound sleep at l o'clock in
the morning. He lay still a few
minutes unable to go back to sleep.
The mental impression of impend-
ing disaster was SO strong, he fl
nally walked to the bunk house,
where the other men were sleep
ing, and sat down on the steps
alone.
A few minutes later there was
a rumble, then a roar, then tho
earth shook and the flying par
ticles of snow cut off his view.
When 1t settled, where the
trains had been but a few mo-
ments before, there was nothing
remaining.

WELLINGTON, WASH, March 8.
The horror of scenes here is in
describable. II will be weeks be-
fore the 55 bodies remaining in
the tangled mass of trees, earth,
ice and snow, can all be exhumed.
1t will be ten days or two weeks
before those bodies recovered can
be taken out of the mountains.
Twenty-eight bodies have been
recovered, the rescuers adding
seven during the eight. Despite
feverish work all morning no more
have been found.
Mrs. Sherlock, wife Of the teIe-
graph operator here, is the heroine
of the wreck. She is taking per-
sonal charge OF the injured, at the
mske-shift hospital established
here.
Superintendent O'NeiIl of the
Great Northern, who escaped the
wreck, is leading the rescurers.
He has no hopes of clearing the
road for traffic before April 4.
Only the ice box of O'NeilPs
car has been found so complete
was the wreck. The car i'm which
Mrs. Covington was killed has
been uncovered and one body
taken out.
A party of deputy sheriffs, head
ed by John Roberts, arrived here
with me. Before we came, a num-
her of Italians were discovered
robbing the bodies and were driv-
en- off.
Two of the seven bodies recoy-
cred during the night were those
of electricians sleeping in a cabin
at the outskirts of the town. The
cabin was carried 500 feet down
the mountain.

Great Military Tournament
For Dedication of Stadium
WAR DEPARTMENT APPROVES PLANS FOR BIG EVENT TO BE
HELD CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE PUTS NECESSARY $4,000 GUARANTEE FUND

Tacoma, through the efforts Of
Secretary Sommers of the Cham
ber of Commerce, is the first city
west of the Rocky mountains to
ever hold a great army athletic
tournament.
A telegram from General Bell,
chief of staff, yesterday announced
that the war department and all
in authority had finally sanctioned
the plan and agreed to award the
tournament to Tacoma for the
coming summer.
1t will be held probably the lat
ter part of July and will be a part
of the great dedicatory program
for the Stadium.
For several months Secretary
Sommers has been working on the
plans for this great affair. He
conceived the idea when General
Bell was here last summer. Cen
eral Bell was then shown the Sta
dunn and the matter was gone
over. He was delighted ana
through his efforts and the activ-
ity of the local Chamber of Com
merce in raising a guarantee fund
of from $4,000 to $4,000 the
tournament has been secured.
The city will have to pay the
expenses of the soldiers competing
here and put up about $4,000 in
prizes together with about an
equal sum for preliminary adver-
tising. If the gate receipts exceed
the expenditures the guarantee
will be returned. ALI net profits
will be divided equally between the
athletic association of troops COM
peting and the soldiers relief as
ISOLATION.
The city will have to furnish a
camp site for the soldiers and at
least 1000, it is expected, Will
compete in the games.
There will be all sorts of drills,
track athletics, wall scaling,
bridge building and demolishing,
skirmish races and other army
features with three matinee and
seven evening performances.
The event will start Sunday
with great sacred concert by the
various military bands.
Coming the last of July the sol
diers will be on their way to
American Lake maneuvers and 1t
will save much of the cost to have
the tournament at that time.
