ing in the Woods

Two men were instantly killed and
another SO severely injured little
hope is held out for his recovery,
when crushed under a falling tree at
the Poison Logging Company's Camp
No. 5, Tuesday.
The dead: Barney Kerr, acting
donkey engineer, and r. NJ. Crock
EFT, fireman, and for 10 years in the
company's employ. The injured man
is Arthur Anderson, hooktender,
whose ribs were crushed so badly
the broken ends came out through
his chest, his right leg fractured and
other minor injuries inflicted. He is
at the Hoquiam General hospital and
hope of his recovery is entertained.
The men were moving donkey,
with the line fastened to large
hemlock tree. The tree held until
the donkey was almost in place, but
when the donkey was being swung
little sideways the hemlock was
uprooted and fell upon the crew. The
skulls of Kerr and Crockett were
crushed and their bodies severely
bruised.
The accident occurred about II
o'clock in the morning. The locomo.
tive, returning from the Landing, was
utilized in removing Anderson, the
injured man, to boat, which brought
him to the local hospital. Because OF
the absence Of roads it was impos-
sible to get physician to the camp
and it was two and a half hours after
the accident before Anderson reached
the hospital. Had there been a road
doctor could have reached the in
jured man in As minutes.
Anderson's home is at Napavine.
Kerr's mother lives at Joliet, ILL.,,

Crockett is brother living some.

The accident is the worst the Pol.

ELKS SURPRISE
SEC'TARY ROSER
When Presented With Life
Membership Card, Roser
Has a Near Faint

At the meeting of the Elks lodge
last night, one of the most surprised
men in the world was Secretary Louis
Al. ROser. For some time past the
members have realized the work per-
formed by the efficient secretary, and,
after considerable pondering, decided
to surprise him at this session.
When in the course of the regular
course of lodge business, c. c. Quack-
enbush arose to point of privilege
not personal but general with every
member of the lodge-Secretary Ros.
er was presented with beautiful en-.
graved solid gold card of life mem
bership. In presenting the card, with
the accompanying fee of $3.50, Mr.
Quackenbush paid testimonial tc
the genial secretary that would have
brought blush to the cheek of Mr.
ROser had he not passed the blushins
age. As 1t was he was certainly en-
barrassed, and in response to call
for a speech, could simply reply that
he was too full for utterance and
would have to express his grateful
feelings later.
Later in the evening, the new Of
Acers, a list Of whom has been pub
lished in the Herald, were installed
by Deputy District Exalted Ruler
Frank Ii. Lamb, of Hoquiam.
