ONE CENT A TRAGEDY! ‘ALL LIFE’S A GAME IN N. P. TUNNEL ELLENSBURG, Nov T—The breaking In two of a v eatbound poskgeetd Pacific freight in Stam pede tunnel, through the Cascades, filled the tunnel full of smoke and | gas, killing Conductor Leonard Ma |let of Seattle, rendering crew of 19 section hands uncon- scious, and driving one ane. The accident occurred late in the afternoon, The section crew was layitut rails in the bore at the time, When the train broke, they did not attempt to get out, thinking ft lwould be Immediately recoupled. This was not done, however, and [the tunnel filled up at once. | One of the section hands man- aged to Ket tide and a crew | working at the tunnel’s portal made lbrave attempts to resene the un- } conscious men, carrying 17 of them jout, Conductor Hallet died 45 min- utes after being carried out A jtrain was made up at Elienshurg , 800n after the accident, and pulmo tors, doctors and nurses sent to the tunnel. Hallet, the conductor who died from the smoke and gas, had lived in Seattle for seven years, He was ears old and is survived by a widow, baby boy and daughter, Mra Hallet was informed of the ace dent and left last night for T where her husband's body | taken. All Rescued. Later reports from the scene of the accident were that the 17 men who had been carried out of the tun- nel unconscious were all revived and will recover. The five men left in the tunnel, whose death was thought certain, were rescued just! | before the special train from Eliene burg arrived and were all revived | with pulmoters. Most of the victims were taken to the company hospital in Tacoma. TWO AUTO ACCIDENTS The beavy rain of yevterday was directly responsible for two auto mobile accidents. Laura Carlson, 9653 Sunect place, was down on Second ayv., and Pine, at 6:30 by an auto driven by J. G. Fenton, 905 BE. Pike.

Nov. 7.— The defeat of Congressman Nicholas Longworth, son-in-law of Col. Roosevelt, for re-elec- tion by the narrow margin of 159 votes, is Indicated by com- plete unofficial returns from the First district. Bowdle, the democratic candidate, appears to be ei.~*ad, but the official count may change the result. 1f Bowdie is deciared elected, Congressman Longworth prob- ably will appeal to the house.
