TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
 AT RAILROAD CAMP

Odeuiudy hiSuI Of o OIdcis AhO men had just put off the last shot of the day and MT. Erwin had taken shelter beneath one of the dirt cars. The blast was an unusal heavy one and the rock and dirt were thrown several feet in the air. The car under which MT. Erwin was taking shelter from the debris is one of those dirt cars that are operated by chains to dump the dirt on either side of the track and it is supposed that large rock came down on the side of the car where Erwin was and filtered the car over on his head, fracturing his skull. He was brought into the city at once and the doctors dressed the wound as best they could. MT. Erwin is a recent arrival here, having come from Ft. Worth. Texas, about two weeks ago. His wife was notified at Ft. Worth and she left Ft. Worth Sunday and arrived in Williams Wednesday. MT. Erwin died Tuesday morn- ing, having never gained conscious ness and let us hope that he never realized what struck him. The little round hole in the base of his skull was viewed by several people and one can hardly believe that the blow that struck him could hardly cause his. death. Mrs. Erwin who was expected to ar rive Tuesday night has not arrived yet and the L. J. Smith Construct ion Co.,, who have kept the wires hot in trying to locate her, ever since she was supposed to have left Fit Worth, Tex, Sunday morning. are at loss to know what has be- come of her. They wired her funds at El Paso immediately upon her request and advices from the ticket agent there show she never called for transportation Great credit should be given MT Scott Mitchell of the Smith Construction company in doing all in his power to save the life of this man, sparing no ex- pense with physician and nurses.
 The remains were shipped to Ft Worth. Texas. Friday morning at the expense of the Smith Con- struction Co.,, although the Masons and Odd Fellows are willing to do so, Mir. Erwin was member of these two orders as we'll as the Knights of Pythies and advices from Ft. Worth show MT. Erwin to be a man of honor, a loving husband and kind father.
 Mir. Erwin leaves a wife and seven children to mourn his death.
 The most interesting pictures 20 far shown at the Williams Theater have been presented this week, and the attenda nee has been good each evening.

Swingrover the manager, and he is leaving nothing lundone that will add to their amusement and at the same time, Instruct them in many ways. It will do the children good to send them to his entertainment each
 Friday evening, after weeks hard study in school.
