PROMINENT TREADWELL
 MAN KILLED

TREADWELL. Dec IS. - Edward Schanda. an oiler at the Mexican Hoist. was killed shortly after he went to work on the seven o'clock shift this morning.
 ls seems that Schanda went down into the pit. where the reverse gear of Che hoisting engine is located. for the purpose of adjusting the gears, and after performing the task called up to Emil YOungstrom. the engineer. that everything was all right. About this time. it appears the engineer had re- ceived a signal to hoist the cage, and after calling Go Schanda did SO. He then reversed the engine, as usual, and it Is thought that a heavy bal ance weight. which was released by the reversal of the engine. caught and crushed the deceased. However no one seems Go be positively certain as co just how be was Injured. When Schanda was caught he screamed to Youngstrom who immediately reyers- ed the hoisting engine. which released Schanda. He then climbed out of the D.t. walked some thirty or forty Feet and collapsed without speaking. He was started co the hospital. but died or the way An unusual Tact con nected with the case Is that Shanda neck was disiocated. notwithstanding he was able to climb out of the pit and walk @ short distance before death ensued.
 The deceased was native Of El. borough. Ia.. was 2S years Of age and Is survived by widow, Mrs. Mabel Schanda. and an infant daughter, about six months old. who reside at Douglas. and by two brothers, Louis Schanda. of Irving. Iowa, and Charles Schanda. of Mounta.ndale. Oregon They both have been notified of his death. The funeral services will be held from the Swedish Lutheran Church. Monday at o'clock in the afternoon. The interment VIII be made at the Douglas cemetery.
 Schanda was well known on the lsl- and. and was generally liked by those who knew him. He played cornet In the Treadwell band and the Treadweh orchestra for several years. He also played in the Lyric orchestra. at Douglas
 This death has Q peculiar coincl- dence with one which occurred at Treadwen two years ago. Ward Lug ton. an oiler- at the Mexican Hoist. was caught and wound around the drum. which caused bis death on De- cember 21st. 1913 Lugton was sur vived by a widow and infant child.

GERMANY IS
 ANXIOUS OVER
 FOOD SHORTAGE

AMSTERDAM. Dec. IS. - Internal conditions in Germany are causing much anxiety in Berlin. Even with the rigid censorship that has been set upon the news it has been impossible to disguise the seriousness of the food situation, which is acute already long before tho winter season is half over.
 No gold is in circulation in Ger many. and it is declared here that only fear of the government and Eng land prevents open opposition to the use of currency. which has been given out by tho government and banks in such great volumes since the begin n.ng of the war
 There is no attempt on the part of Germans who arrived in thiS city to hide the fear that is entertained that there might at any time occur demonstrations on the part of the people on account of the scarcity Of food and the danger of refusal of people to part with foodstuffs for paper money.
