The following account of the fatal
accident appears in today's issue of
the Spokesman-Review:
In company with d. w. Dwight. a
realty dealer in the Falls City block,
Abrahamsen left Spokane at 4 a. m.
Sunday to spend the day fishing.
When the fatal accident occurred he
was on a raft about 20 feet from
where Dwight was standing on a log.
II was fishing at the time, and, hear
ing splash in the water, looked
around and saw his hands and legs out
of the water" said Mr. Dwight upon
his return yesterday. "He went down
Immediately and came up again, but,
although he was swimmer, he did not
try to make a move. l snagged the
raft with my hook and pulled it to the
log, then got on it, and, going to the
spot, pulled the body out of the weeds
with my pole.
when / explained to the coroner
and physician in Newport the Incl
dent they said it must have been heart
failure or apoplexy."
Karl Dittebrandt who was Mr..
roommate and closest
friends for number of years, was
killed IS months ago in an automobile
accident at Colfax. The shock of this
accident caused Mr.. Abrahamsen to
suffer an attack of apoplexy and some
of his friends believe a recurrance
caused his death. He was strong
boxer. tennis player and all round
athlete and that he made no strug-
gle after falling from the raft causes

The Western Pacific IS getting

Two of the most likely projects

for which the plans have been ap-
proved is the Deep Creek railroad

have an important influence on the
material growth of this state.
