Great Northern disaster at Wellington.
Wash, in which ninety lives were lost
March 1, brought in a verdict today find
Ing that the avalanche resulted from
causes beyond human control Although
the verdict does not fix responsibility for

Railroad company, the company is critl~
cIzed for not having placed the trains In
the best place to avert an accident and
recites that II a siding east OF the station
had been used the trains would have
been out OF danger,
The Great Northern is also criticised TO
having paid the laborers engaged In clear
ing the track only 10 cents an hour out
OF which they had TO pay their board.
The iury's report says that rs a result
of the companys paying such small
wages, thirty-nve men loft the work when
their services We're most needed, and the
jury censures the railroad for not re-
tanning sufficient men TO clear the track
