DETAILS DEATH
OF FORMER
CORDOVAN
Full details of the accidental death
I of our former townsman, Ivory St
I ('lair, at Nenana on December 27 lfl
contained in the folowing article ink'
on from the Daily News, of that place,
! which arrived on yesterday’s train:
A regrettable accident occurred at
; about .’i:4f> yesterday afternoon on
5 the Fairbanks-Nenana branch of the
railroad grade, resulting in the death
[ of Ivory St. flair, a contractor, who
i with five partners, was engaged in
grading work on the railroad V near
camp 415. situated at the foot of the
bluff ucros sthe Tanana river from
town.
The body of the unfortunate con
tractor was brought to town imnre
diately after the accident and now
! lies at the Commission hospital
pending the action of the authorities
; and the wishes of his relative--, who
- have lH-en duly notified of the sad
I occurence.
The death of St flair was the
j result of the lossening of a huge slat
| of frozen sandy loam which crushed
him under its weight, death being
instantaneous. This is the first fatal
accident of its kind to occur in the
actual construction operations on the
railroad since active construction was
begun on the Fairbanks division of
I ti e railroad: the only other fatal uc
I i idem occurred when the late Axel
Running was fatally injured while at
I work loading a heavy package onto a
car recently, who died a few days
afterwards.
The scene of the accident was on
the grade at a point, about 2,000 feet
from Camp 415 where the contractors
v ere engaged in borrowing material
for the till on the portion of the \
!In > had eontraotod to construct. Tin
material was being taken from the
| cut in tile hank about 15 feet it:
: height and was being coneveycd to
! the beginning of the dump, approx!
mutely i’iOO feet away.
The upper part of the hank for u
depth of about four or five feet was
' frozen solid, necessitating blasting
and about an hour before tire accident
or urrod. Max Altman, one of tin
partners to the contract, had blasted
j two holes. As there was jjitite ar
' overhang after the shots were set off
Altman carefully examined the mast
! to see if there were any cracks
j around it. and finding no signs that
would indicate any danger, proceeded
: to drill a hole for another charge
j which he expected would bring the
J mass down.
He procured a ladder and at a dis
■ lance of about seven or eight feel
j from the grade level drilled a holt
| and just got through loading it pro
j puratory to shooting, when the mass
I began to move, and shouting a warn
| ing to St. ('lair, who at the time was
> standing by a dump ear near the
hrnk, Altman Jumped from the lad
der, clearing the track.
Altman thinks that St. Clair, who
was hard of hearing, did not he ir his
warning cry. and when he realized
the peril did not have time to get
j away.
The loosened mass of earth, coin
ing down with great suddenness, 1
broke into two pieces; one of which {
relied down the hank. while tin*
other, which is said to have weighed
approximately two tons or more, roll
ed in the direction of tin* dump car.
catching St. ('lair as he ran and pin
ning him between it and the over
turned car.
N. If. Stevens, another partner to
the contract, who happened to lx*
near by, states that St. Clair might
have escaped if Ik* had run to oPher
side* of the* car. He thinks that St.
('lair in the very brief time in which
he had to decide, thought that the
safest thing would lx* to run to
wards the car. which was standing
on the* track and was not directly
opposite the falling mass.
Moth these men, as well as the
I Other partners and Henry Pennoyer.
the teamster employed by the men,
think that the occurrence was so sud
den that St. ('lair had no time to get
j away.
Pennoyer immediately rushed to
tin* camp and phoned for flu* doctor,
and in response to tin- message, Hr.
d<» la Vergne hurried immediately,
taking with him an emergency outfit •
to render first aid. blankets, etc.
When In go there tin* men had re
leased St. Clair from the encumbering!
earth and life was found to he ex-1
