accident auto		FOUR DROWNED IN AUTO ACCIDENT IN DEADWATER SLOUGH Four persons were drowned and four narrowly escaped when two autos crashed through the railing of the Deadwater slough bridge near Everett Sunday morning at 2 o'clock. This slough is the second water way coming from Everett, and is 15 or 20 feet deep One of those who lost their lives was Miss Blanche Oliver, whose home is Marysville, but who was chief operator of the Independent Telephone Co. at Everett. She is 24 years old, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Oliver of Sixth and Columbia street this city. The other three were Miss Rosena Landsley, telephone operator of Everett; Hugh Sidley and Mryon Liljenberg of Everett. Four were injured and taken to hospitals suffering from exposure. They were: Miss Anna Kuhblank, James T. Love, E. W. Norgard and A. Solie, all of Everett. James Love, driving a Ford touring car, had as companions Blanche Oliver, Rowena Landsley, Anna Kuhblank, E. W. Norgard and A. Solie. they were returning at 2 a.m. from a dance in Snohomish. Directly ahead of the Ford as it reached Deadwater slough, was an Abbott-Detriot machine, in which rode Myron Liljenberg and Hugh Sidley, returning to Everett from a dance in Marysville. In attempting to pass the Abbott-Detroit car, the Ford locked a wheel with the machine ahead, forcing it through the railing into the slough and dragging the Ford and its human freight into the depths after it. An inquest was held by Coronor Maulsby Monday, which after hearing testimony rendered a verdict that the victims of the tragedy came to their deaths by drowning caused by an unavoidable accident. Testimony of J. T. Love and A. Solie, two of the young men rescued from the slough, and two eye-witnesses agreed that the larger car turned back into the middle of the road before the Ford car passed. Love who was driving the Ford, says the other car turned back toward the middle of the trestle, just as he was passing at about 15 miles an hour, and that their wheels locked, swing the two cars around. He said his left curtains were up and that he thought all were up on the other car. Solie who sat in the rear seat of the Ford, on the left side, said that the party left Snohomish about 1:30 Sunday morning after the dance, and that he thought they were going about 15 miles an hour. He said they passed another car before trying to pass the one they hit. He said that Love signalled with his horn and that the car in front turned to the right, so that there was plenty of room to pass, but it turned back again. Both Solie and Love were sure the front wheels locked, and thought that both might have been in that condition. All said that no liquor had been used by the party. G. T. McCall and C. Mitchell were driving in a Buick car just behind the Ford when the accident happened. Their testimony was practically the same as that of Love and Solie. The two young men in the Abott-Detroit car went straight to the bottom with their car and never rose till they were dragged to the surface with grappling hooks. It seems marvelous that four were saved from the Ford car, as the curtains were partly closed. The two young ladies drowned were no doubt unable to get out of the car before they became strangled. The bodies were recovered shortly after daylight, the remains of Miss Oliver being brought to Marysville during the day. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the family residence in Marysville. Rev. Martinage of Everett, officiating. Interment was made in the family plot in I.O.O.F. cemetery.

of interest		Local and Personal: To the Editor--That "smart Alec" who wrote the item in the Globe last week about a man named Wilson who comes over from Everett every Sunday to preach for the "babtist heraticks", is evidently "off his trolley.: The writer sometimes goes to the Baptist church and he has heard Wilson. He is certainly a fine talker and you can easily digest all he says. It will do you no harm to go and hear him --Rusticus

death	Jones, H. A.	BRIDGE TENDER LOSES LIFE IN ENGINE ROOM Friday morning shortly after 9 o'clock our people were greatly shocked and grieved to learn that H. A. Jones, the drawbridge tender, had met with a fatal accident in the discharge of his duties in the engine room. As no one witnessed the accident it is not known positively just how it happened, but it seems probable that Mr. Jones, after starting the engine discovered a spring loose near the piston rod, and he set the engine in the neutral and stepped over one shaft and leaned over another one to adjust the loose part when his clothing caught on a set screw and wound around the shaft throwing him forward so that his head was struck by the piston arm and pouned into a mass, while his clothing was torn completely from his body. The conductor of the southbound 9:10 train, after waiting some time for the bridge to resume its turning got a boat and rowed out to the draw span and made the gruesome discovery. The body was removed to the Marysville Undertaking rooms. Coroner Maulsby came and decided it was unnecessary to hold an inquest. The unfortunate man had held the position for about three years, and had the reputation of being an expert engineer and a fine machinist. He was chief of the local fire company, and took great interest in the work of the department. Deceased was born in Lima, Ohio, July 29th 1882. He leaves a wife and two small children and a mother who resides at Davenport, Wash. with two brothers and four sisters. Rev.
