DANGEROUS CROSSING
BLAMED For ACCIDENT.

The inquest over the death of Wilson
NJ. Slocomb and his son Cecil was held
by Coroner A. J. Templeton at Hall
& Templeton's' chapel, Wenatchee
The jury impaneled consisted of Fred
L. Monroe, Floyd f. Wesp, John Lillis
and f. E. Perrine. After hearing the
evidence, they returned the following
verdict:
"We find that Wilson NJ Slocomb
and Cecil Slocomb came to their death
on Nov. 27, by being struck by the en-
gine of Great Northern train No. 26,
at dangerous crossing at Monitor,
Wash"
Phil Pritchett and Melvin Ellis were
unloading a car of lumber about 100
feet away from where the accident oc-
CURED. They testified that they heard
train whistle and saw an automobile
approaching the crossing. 1t was go
ing at fairly good rate of speed and
wobbling some as it crossed the first
tracks. The next they heard was a
terrific crash and spokes, splinters of
wood and other parts of the car were
scattered all around them. Pritchett
was the first to reach the scene. He
picked Glen Long up and washed
some of the blood off his chest with a
wet towel.
Chester Biles and c. C. Moore also
testified to assisting in picking up the
bodies and helping to place them on
the train.
Train Crew Testifies
NJ. J. Dalton, engineer on the Great
Northern train that struck the car,
was the principal witness at the in
quest as he saw the entire accident.
He stated that when about 800 feet
from the crossing going 80 to 35 miles
per hour, he saw the front of an au-
tomobile shoot out from behind box
car The auto was not going very
fast and seemed to be jerking and
jumping. Whether the engine of the
car was not working well or whether
the rough track caused this motion,
he could not tell.
Mr. Dalton swore that he at once
blew his whistle and applied the
brakes. He thought at first that the
car would cross ahead of the train.
then it seemed to slow down and he
hoped it would stop before reaching
the track. Instead of that the en-
CINE struck the rear wheels of the car
and tossed the automobile over
against the station. nearly 100 feet
from the crossing, crumpling it up
and scattering the remnants all over
the vicinity.
Pick Up Bodies

HELD UP AND
ROBBED BY MASKED
HIGHWAYMEN
APPLE PICKER Is VICTIM OF
ROBBERS ON WENATCHEE AV-
ENUE, JUST OUTSIDE WEN
ATCHEE CITY LIMITS.

A young man giving the name OF
William Grow reported to Sheriff Nc
Manus at Wenatchee Sunday that he
had been held up and robbed by a
highwayman just outside the city
limits. Grow claims that he met an
other young fellow familiarly known
as "Red" around one of the pool
rooms Saturday night. Red informed
him that he had just bought new
car and invited Grow to take a ride
with him.
On arriving at the place where the
car was parked, he found two girls
and another young man already seat
ed in it and together they started for
a ride out the avenue.
As they turned off onto one of the
cross roads, two masked men sprang
up and commanded them to stop. The
robbers then Systematically went
through the pockets of the party and
took all their valuables and money.
Grow claims to have lost 500 in
money which he received for orchard
work.
The robbers then disappeared and
the party Immediately drove back to
town. Grow suggested that they re-
port the matter to the police, but
"Red' and the rest of the party OBJ
iected saving that thew would onlv
laugh at them. This led Grow to be-
lieve that "Red" and his companions
were in collusion with the robbers
and that the only one that was actual
ly robbed was himself.
Since making the complaint, Grow
has evidently disappeared, as the Of
fcers have been unable to find any
trace of him.

PRODUCTION
OF STATE COAL
IS PROMISED
DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS THE
UNITED STATES COURTS AND
MILITARY PROTECTION WILL
BE EFFECTIVE.

SEATTLE, Dec. Both the Unit
ed States courts and military protec-
ton will be used to insure production
of bituminous coal in the state of
Washington, if such action is found
necessary, Robert C. Saunders, Unit
ed States district attorney, announc-
ed Saturday afternoon, following a
series of conferences on the coal
strike situation.
Must Produce Coal
Reopening of the mines in the
state, and probable methods to be
used to insure coal production, were
discussed at the conference. Mr..
Saunders said he did not decide on
any definite plan to be pursued as a
result of the afternoon conference,
but that the policy of the government
would not be one of inaction.
"Bituminous coal must be produc-
ed" Mr.. Saunders said "That's the
main thing"
