Warns fellow workmen but loses life in lumber accident
David Richards, 46, of Tenino near Centralia, was killed when a heavy cable snapped while spubbing a monkey engine on a mountain incline. He had warned two companions to keep clear, then was struck in the chest as the cord unwound. He leaves a widow and two children, and his death is mourned by his brother Andrew, foreman of the crew. Richards had lived in the area six years, coming from North Dakota, with other siblings in Nebraska and Washington. He was a member of several fraternal orders and a funeral is to be arranged.
