A phone message last Monday
evening to Sheriff Baney, brought
word of the sudden death of Ben
jamin Salo which occurred some
time shortly before 10 o'clock that
night near Superior.
Salo, who was IN the employ of
the Milwaukee Railroad Co., was

failure at the east portal of the tun-
mel.
Salo had left Libby last Friday to
take work with the company. He
moved here with his family three
years ago, and had been in the en-
ploy of the j. Neils Company until
the strike last September. He has
suffered for some time from a very
dangerous heart ailment and had
been receiving treatment in Spo-
kane
Mr.. Salo is survived by his wild
ow and two children, Donald, 8
years, and Richard, age 2.
The funeral will be Monday at

fine passing attack, marked by good
ball handling to set up many scor-

make up the deficit
