Louis Kokas, aged about 85 years, a Greek laborer employed by Grant Smith & Co., on the North and South highway, was killed last Wednesday morning near Goff, when the roadbed gave way, and the motor truck in which he was riding plunged seventy-five feet over a precipice into the Salmon river, below, With Kokas, and driving the truck was Hugh Vigner, of Grangeville, who jumped as the machine went over the grade, and escaped injury. Kokas al- so jumped, but in some manner was caught by the tract, or a piece of heavy machinery which was being transported in the truck. His forehead, above his left eye, was laid open, and nis skull was fractured. Kokas was rendered uncon- scious, but lived for an hour and a half after the accident occured, Dr. W. A. Foskett of Whitebird was summoned, but the man - before the physician arriv- ed. At the place where Kokas was killed, the road had been built along the mountain side. Tron stakes had been driven into the ground to hold logs, which form- ed a support on the sidehill for a filled-in-road. The logs had rotted, through age, and when Kakas and Vigner drove over the road with 8000 pounds of mach- inery, the logs gave way, and the entire outfit plunged over the grade. The men were moving mach- inery between Camp 4 and 5. Kokas, according to persons with whom he conversed, early Wednesday morning, told of a premonition that he would be killed during the day. “T had horrible dreams last night,” he is quoted as saying. “T dreamed all night of rabbits and cats. I was chasing a rab- bit and caught it, when sudden- ly it turned into the devil.” He said that he hesitated to go to work. for he felt “something awful” would happen. — Free Press.
