ACCIDENTAL DEATH
c. nj. RIST FOUND DEAD IN c.
E. WOOD & COMPANY'S ELE-
VATOR THURSDAY
(Genesee News.)

! c. M. Rist, an employe of the C. E..
Wood Co., met accidental death at
their elevator Thursday morning jan
uary 20, about 9:3O o'clock The
cause of the accident has not been
definitely learned.
F. j. Cornish, the company mana
ger, had been talking with Mr. Rist
| just a short time before the accident
and Mr.. Rist had stated that for some
cause belt on pulley wheel con-
nected with the mill machinery had
been slipping and asked Mr.. Cornish
to start the machinery slowly for him.
Mr.. Cornish had told him to give him
a sharp call of some time so that he
could be heard above the noise of the
machinery, and Mr.. Rist had done So
Mr.. Cornish had then waited upon
two customers, when he noted that
the wheat was not being put into the
elevator and he started to look for
Mr.. Rist.
He found him lying on the mill
floor, face down, near the securing
machine, and upon examination found
that life was extinct A small pool
of blood was found where his face
struck. His watch, knife and other
things in his pockets lay on the floor
about his body. From all appearances
he had not moved and death was in
StantaneouS
Just how the accident happened is
not known but it is thought that he
had gotten upon heavy timber about
seven feet from the floor to put belt
dressing on the pulley belt, as the
cake of dressing was found as if it
hpI NJ
sition is that he fell head first from
this timber to the floor AS he was
just recovering from a recent illness
it was thought his fall might have
been caused from weakness.
AS soon as the body was discovered
Mr.. Cornish summoned help and it
was removed to the Lambert under
taking room. Upon examination Mr..
Lambert found the left cheek bone
and jaw were broken and it appeared
as if the base of the skull had been
fractured, but the head was not
crushed.
Mr.. Rist and his wife came from
Nebraska to Genesee to reside last
summer and purchased from w. D.
Woodward what is known as the C. H.
Wheeler property and acreage in the
east part of town. His daughter, Mrs.
Wood, and family came here from Ne
braska last fall. Besides the daughter
there is one son thought to be living
at their old home in Nebraska The
deceased was about Sc or 81 years
old
The family have enjoyed the re-
spect of every one with whom they
have become acquainted since coming
here and they have the sincere sym
pathy of the entire community in
their sad bereavement.
At the time of going to press fu-
neral arrangements had not been
made.

better today. Mrs. Robert West,

tion adopted by DR.. Leitch, city health

results and people are getting over
the panicky feeling that was SO mani
fest earlier in the seige. Lewiston
reports conditions improved with but
one death yesterday compared with
three Wednesday, FIVE Tuesday and
Monday.

Schools. Will Be Closed.

Owing to the light attendance the
school board announces that Moscow
schools will remain closed, after to-
day, until further notice. This does
not mean anything serious, but so
many are remaining away from
school because of fear, and SO many
teachers are out that it was thought
best to make no further attempt to
continue school until conditions i'm
prove. Physicians believe that in
another week the situation will clear
up and the crest of the influenza
wave will have passed.
