RICHLAND WELL
DIGGER is
BURIED ALIVE
G. J. Anderson Meets Death
when Well on the Shumaker
Ranch Caves In
RESCUERS WORK HEROICALLY
NeighbOrs Work Frantically During
Night in Effort to Bring Vic
tim Out Alive

C. j. Anderson, for ten years a res
ident of Richland, was buried alive
under 46 feet Of sand, cement and
gravel, late Thursday afternoon when
well on the c. M. Shumaker place
three miles north of Richland caved
in on him. The accident was reported
about four o'clock and at an carly
hour Friday morning the body had not
been recovered. ,. .-,ssn.
Anderson, who has followed the
trade Of well digger for years and
trade of well digger for years thor
oily understood the dangerous cav
gravel which underlies the soil in the
Richland district. Tho well on which
he was working he had lined with ce-
ment as he had gone down, but evi-
IDENTIFY he had not given the cement
time to set as it was soft yet when
rescuers arrived on the scene.
News of the accident spread rapidly
thruout the Richland district and with
In Il ShOTI JlIle si1OSE Inc SdNS-h O
crowd of two hundred people were at
the well. Volunteer rescuers worked
frantically in relays and risked their
own lives to reach the buried man be-
fore life was extinct. But as the well
continued to cave in as they worked,
it was not until two o'clock Friday
morning that the face of the man
was uncovered One look was enough
to convince the rescuers that Anderson
was dead. His forehead was crushed
beneath large piece of concrete and
sand filed his mouth.
Realizing that further work in the
dark could avail nothing and might
bring death to some of the workers,
the rescuers abandoned their efforts
until daylight when more deliberate
methods of combating the caying gra-
vel will be employed.
Anderson was unmarried and altho
he had lived on a little farm near
Richland for several years little is
known of his earlier life and the
of his relatives are UNI
known. .

GRAPE WINDOW REVIVES
MEMORIES OF CARNIVAL
Washington Produce Company Makes
Handsome Display of Fancy
Table Grapes

Memories of Kennewick's defunct
Grape Carnival were revived Monday
morning when the blinds were raised
in the display window of the Wash
ington Produce company and disclos-
ed a beautiful grape display which
had been artistically arranged by
Manager A. Umbreit. Not only did
the display bring admirers, it brought
buyers as well. During the day Mr..
Umbreit sold 400 pounds in small
lots over the counter and sent out two
tons to fill shipping orders.
The grapes are from the vineyard
of F. A. Friermood near Richland and
are of the European table varieties
Almost every cluster is perfectly
formed and colored and great care
has been exercised in packing the
crates. F.
Mr.. Umbreit purchased Mr.. Frier-
moods entire crop Of about seven tons
for which he has found ready sale,
both retail and wholesale.

RICHLAND is NO ..-.
MATCH FOR LOCALS
Kennewick High School Eleven
Scores Eleven Touchdowns
to Opponents None

The football eleven of the Richland
high school proved no match for the
,Kennewick boys in the first game of
the year on the local grounds Friday
afternoon. The home lads pushed the
ball over for eleven touchdowns and
kicked three gouls, the final score be-
ing SO to 0.
The ball was in Kennewick's posses
sion and in Richland's territory most
of the time. At no time were the vis-
itors able to make consistent gains
against the snappy defense of the
Kennewick players.
Five of Kennewick's touchdowns
were scored by Carl Laine, half back,
and four by Eric Waldorf, full back,
Both of these boys are new to the
local school and their work was an
agreeable surprise to local gridiron
fans. Captain Warde johnson played
quarterback and his excellent gener-
alship was only surpassed by his ex-
cellent playing, both offensive and de-
fensive. Andy Christensen, who is back
in school, following two years vaca-
ton spent in France, was a tower of
strength in the line. The local team
plays the Waitsburg eleven on their
home grounds Friday of this week.

OVER THE TOP
FOR ROOSEVELT
Chairman jeffrey Says Kenne-
wick will Make Qu0ta-BOOks
Open Until Monday

Chairman F. R. Jeffrey said today
that there is no doubt but that Ken
newick will go over the top in the
Roosevelt Memorial campaign. Altho
no further organized soliciting will be
done the local fund will be held open
until Monday and those who have not
been solicited and wish to have their
names listed among the donors may
mail their subscriptions to him, to
E. III. Sherk at Sherk's Store, to E. w.
Trenbath at Trenbath & Tweedt's, to
l.. E. Johnson at the First National
Bank, to H. S. Huntington at the CO.
lumbia Irrigation Office or to A. R.
Gardner at the Courier Reporter Of
flee.
"Some people seem to have an err
roneous idea of what is to be done
with this memorial fund.-" said Mr..
Jeffrey. "The popular belief seems
to be that the money1is to be used to
erect monument to the memory Of
Theodore Roosevelt. This is not so.
The money is to be used to spread the
doctrine of Americanism and patriot
ism of which Roosevelt was one of
Americas greatest champions. It may
be that the memorial fund will be used
for the purpose of founding some per-
manent organization to carry on the
work of Americanization, or it may
be used to erect in Washington, D. c.,
a building which will be the home of
some such organization.
"What the memorial is to be is left
with the national memorial committee
which is made up of Americas ablest
men of all political beliefs.
"I wish to emphasize also that ev-
cry cent that is collected for the me-
mortal fund will be used for memorial
purposes. Not one cent will be de-
Quoted for expenses. The expense OF
this campaign is being paid by admir-
ers Of Colonel Roosevelt and not from
the funds contributed during the cams
paign.'.'

TWO ARE ACCUSED
OF GRAND LARCENY
L. r.. Clark and EIwin Gleason
are Held on Charge Of Steal
ing POwelps Suitcase

L. R. Clark and Elwin Gleason were
placed under $500 bonds in Justice G.
Staser's court Tuesday afternoon on
charges of grand larceny. The two
men were accused Of having stolen q
suitcase and travelling bag belonging
to Ray Powell, from tie Commercial
Hotel last week. The cases contained
clothing, FOOLS, field glasses and other
articles, the value of the property be-
ing estimated at $125.
Gleason waived preliminary hearing
in the justice court but Clark stood
trial. A pair of dice led to the arrest
of the two men. Friday of last week
Mr.. Powell went into local cafe and
saw Clark toying with the dice which
he recognized as ones that were among
his missing belongings. When ques-
toned concerning them Clark said
they had been given to him by G1ea-
son, who had left for Yakima the day
before. Upon information furnished
by Clark, Gleason was located and
arrested in Yakima and one of the
suitcases and several articles Of
clothing were found in his possession.
The story he told implicated Clark,
who was taken into custody here.
Aside from the dice the only other
articles found in Clark's possession, to
which Powell claims ownership, was a
speed Indicator, which Policeman j. b.
Hayden testifies he found in Clark's
suitcase, which ne searched at the
Commercial Hotel. Powell testified
that the indicator was his and that he
could identify it because of certain
markes upon it. This Identification
was substantiated by the testimony
of Ed. Golland. Clark, on the other
hand, testified that the instrumtnt
was his and proved by another witness
that he had an instrument of this kind
in his car before he came to Kenne-
wick.
Gleason testified that he had not
given the dice to Clark nor had he
ever had them in his possession other
than to pick them up one time, but as
to when and where this was he refused
to testify. *.~ y
While the evidence against Clark
was entirely circumstantial, Judge
Staser held that it was sufficient to
justify his being recognized to the
higher court. .>
Clark has made his hcme for sew
eral years at White Bluffs and has
been employed'recently at Benton City
by the Wenatchee Valley Fruit Ex-
change. Gleason is but little known
here. He is fruit worker. =.
Both men gave bonds and are now
at liberty. 49,.

AS this is the first opportunity they
have had to play the role of hosts they
expect to make the most of it and give

SOUTHERN MEN
- BUY BURNS RANCH
DR.. Nichols and T. Buchanan of
North Carolina Invest in
Valley Property

One of the largest ranch deals of
the year was closed this week when
DR.. A. A. Nichols and Theodore Bu-
chanan, of Sylvia, North Carolina, pur-
chased the Mrs. j. S. Gilbert ranch
in the valley. II is understood that
the purchasers paid $4,000 cash for
tie place.
The place is better known as the
Burns ranch, which a few years ago
was one of the most attractive or
chard places in the valley, and it
gained considerable distinction thru
out the Northwest as a producer of
extra fine European varieties of table
grapes. Year after year either c. F.
Schenk, who framed it as foreman, or
A. Burns, the owner, pulled down first
prizes for the best individual grape
display at the local Grape Carnival
and grapes from the Burns vineyard
were awarded many blue ribbons at
the State and Interstate fairs. Dur
ing recent years however, the place
has run down and it will require con-
siderable time and money to restore it
to its former productive state.
d There are 70 acres in the place, IL
acres of which are above the canal
and not subject to irrigation from the
present gravity system.
The new owners expect to make
some extensive improvements on the
place. Some of the neglected fruit
trees will be pulled out and a consid-
cradle acreage will be put into alfalfa.
DR.. Nichols is an M. D., and there
is possibility that he may follow his
profession here. Mr.. Buchanan is a
druggist and will return to Slyva, but
may later dispose of his interests there
and come to Kennewick to make his
home. He is a brother of j. M. Bu-
chanan, who has been making his home
on one of the Ingwall Smith places in
the Garden Tracts. He expects to
move early next month and will have
charge of his brothers and DR.. Mich
ols' new farm. .
The deal was made by o. w. Rich.
