ilton.

Fred &. Enos, an employe of the
water Power company working on
the traveller over the dam on the
illinois side fell forty feet this morn
ing and received injuries which may
result fatally. The impact of the body
against the concrete Of the dam was
terrific. 1t broke the left elbow. the
right arm and the right leg of the un-
fortunate man, besides resulting in
extensive internal injuries. Mr.. Enos
was taken at once to st. Joseph's hos
pital and his condition is critical.
The run made by the Water Power
physician from st. Joseph's hospital
to the scene OF the accident was spec
tacular, and informed every one on
or near Main street that there had
been an accident on the works. A
call for the doctor was sent in at once
to the general offices of the company
at Third and Johnson. From there a
car was dispatched to ST. Josephs
hospital where the physician was car
ing for other patients. The dash up
Johnson and then back down Main
was made at a speed approximating
forty miles per hour. 1t was a case Of
life and death, and the injured work
man got the benefit of about all the
speed the machine had. The Red
Cross ambulance was called to bring
the injured man back to Keokuk, but
the need of haste caused the trip
back to be made by auto, the cot be-
| ing carried across the tonneau
Mr.. Enos who Is well known and
well liked by the men working on the
Illinois side of the river, was born in
Boston and came here from st. Louis
to work on the dam. He has resided
in Hamilton where he has wife
and one child. The exact cause of his
fall Is unknown. At the time he was
working on steel strut This may
have been moved, or he may simply
have lost his balance.

WOMAN SHOOTS SELF
AND A CONDUCTOR
Perpetrator of the Acts Was Aged
70 Years and Had Recently
Been Divorced

MILTON, Ore, June 17--Conductor
Joe Harper. of the Walla Walla VAL
ley Traction company. was fatally
wounded by Mamie Myrtle Kyle, at
{ O'Clock this morning, on the arrival
of the morning car. while he was busy
turning the seats for the return trip.
He died soon after eaching rhe Walla
Walla hospital Mrs. Kyle. who was
sitting quietly in the car, got up and
fired two shots ut Harper. hitting him
in the back. and then turned the
weapon on herself, sending bullet
through her body, and she died a few
minutes later.
Harper was hurriedly taken to the
Walla Walla hospital, in a vain hope
to save his life. Mrs. KYLE left a
statement, evidently intended for an
obituary, stating that she was born
near Harrisburg, Ky. had lived in
Weston. Ore, and that she was 20
years of age, but throwing no light on
the tragedy. She was divorced from
her husband, Fred KYLE. a carpenter,
of Weston about three weeks ago.
Her reason for shooting Harper is at
present a mystery. While she was ac-
quainted with him, no motive for the
tragedy has yet come to light, The
coroner from Pcndlcton will be here
today. and an inquest will be held.
Mrs Kyle leaves a son 70 years old,
and has sister. Mrs. Clay, living at
Helix, Ore. and another sister, Mrs,
Peterson, in Spokane. The divorced
husband is a carpenter in Weston and
bears a good reputation.
