AND FOUR TRAINMEN INJURED
A few day8 ug0 an account of
the recovery of the bo<fy of Wm.
Herrold was given in thispaper and
below 13 priuted an account of
'he railway wreck in which. Fireman
Herrold lost -hxa lif© ag it appeared
in the Cordova Times of Nov. 29.
A serious accident occurred this
morning on the North branch, of
ihe Copper River railway .which re
sulted in the death of William Her
rold, a fireman, au£. the slight in
jury of four members °t a train
crew.
Engine No. 70 and on© car o£
the *rain which left Chitina this
morning was precipitated into the
Copper river at 7:45 o'clock this
morning, by crashing through the
bridge at Copper River crossing,
near Chitina , the Piling of which
was taken out by the running of
anchor ice.
The memberg of the. crew were: 3
•William Hinde, engineer; William J
Herrold, fireman; J. L. Brown and
T. 0. Eckstrom, brakemen, and
William Hoffman, trackwalker, who
wer® precipitated into the river
wi^b the engine. While all of the
men escaped injury except William
Herrold, who was killed*, they suf
fered from toeing exposed to the
icy water.
The north-bound train from Cor
dova proceeded to the crossing to
cle^r the track and remove ithe
wrecK. The road will be tied up for
several days, and' the train from
Ciiitina will for the present double
(Kick.
The train which left Chitioa. this
morning on it* way to Cordova re
turned to tlie 6cene of the wreck
and will bring the victims to the J
hospital, here this evening.
GOAL CARGO OF FREIGHTER IS
BEING UNLOADED QUITE RAPIDLY
The freighter Ketchikan arrived
iu this port near the bour of noon
yesterday with the much needed
cargo or coai and' the delayed, ship
ments of merchandise to local mer
chants which have been accumulat
ing on the Seattle wharves for some
tiiue owing to the few regular ships ;
oil the run being unat>Le to handle i
all outbound freight from Seattle j
consigned to Alaskan ports.
1,000 tous of coal which com
prises the bulk of the Ketchikan's j
cargo is for the White l>ass and j
200 tous is for E. J. Shaw, which is
to be used for domestic-purposes, and
will t>o handled' through the Alaska
Transfer company.
There has been considerable ques
tion here regarding the longshore
man situation ajid it was only af
ter a positive guarantee toy the
White Pass officials that there
l»e no delay in unloading the ship
that the Alaska Steamship com
pany would charter its boat for a
tri»> to Skagway. Not only wits it
necessary for the railway company
to fully guarantee that the cargo
would be unloaded in a reasonable
time, but they also had" to guar3^"
tee that the 1700 Ions of ore now
ip trie bunkers would be loaded on
board the ship in an expeditious
manner, that the Ketchikan was
sent here.
According to Mr. Stowers, local
emigrant inspector, there are only

ibout ©ight longshoremen, here, and
in order to supply full crews for
:he work, the White Pass were com
aelleji to bring over a number of
men from the various sections aeros
tne line to do the work.
While there is a federal law that
labor cannot be brought into the
United States on contract in competi'
tion with American labor, a rulirg
was obtained from the Department
of Labor permission was obtained by
tfie White Pass to bring over from
time to time, as the necessity oc
curred, such men as might be neces
sary to unload ships so as not to
cause unnecessary delay which
would occasion, financial logs and
delay to the ship owners.
Upon receipt of this ruling from
tho Department of Labor, enough
men have been brought here to
make up sufficient shifts to work
both loldg of the vessel continu
ously, and it is thought that the
work of unloading will be accom
Dlished in record time.
•That this was an urgent case
was hown Dy the fact that the rai
war company was running low in
its supply of coal, and the further
fact that Skagway -was nearing a
coal famine, for some time past
the railway company having the
°»ly coal obtainable.
