The Prescott daily news., 1919-07-29

A number of men and boys nar- rowly escaped being crushed to death Saturday night at the P. & N. w.. icing station when the elevated side track leading to the top of the plat form collapsed, and crashed to the ground, carrying with it the entire length of platform which stood about fifteen feet from the ground, and about ten ice cars which were stand ing on the elevated track at the time, loaded with ice. No cause is given for the accident except that the sup porting frame work underneath gave way because of the extremely heavy load of ice cars. The fact that the employees of the icing station were not on duty at 12 o'clock, the time the accident occurred, probably saved a number of lives. The men and boys were standing near the platform when the structure fell and one boy escaped being crushed by about three feet, large piece of board striking him in the breast. The structure is being rapidly rebuilt, the crews work ing night and day.

Little Rock, July 2S.-When the legislature met at noon today it seemed almost certain that there would be extension for several days to permit the lawmakers to take up remedial road legislation.

The party that had adopted as their slo- gan, Do it in thirty minutes" did not gain much support from the members with pockets full of bills to correct defects in special road acts. So it ap pears to be now, not question of will there be an extension, but for how long?
