THE WILLIAMS NEWS
A Cloe Call.
Last Saturday evening, just at
6 o'clock, as the workmen on the
Santa Fe Pacific's large reservoir
south of town were preparing to
make everything snug for the night,
a terrible accident occurred by
which one man nearly lost his
life.
The great dam is now almost
completed and in the center of the
canyon has a height of seventy feet.
Derricks were in use handling the
enormous blocks of stone and at
the time mentioned, Tom George,
one of the workmen, was walking
along the crest of the dam holding
in his hands the guide rope used to
swing the huge blocks into posi
tion. When at the highest point
he gave a tug on the rope which
parted.
On the upper side of the dam
there is a sheer fall of thirty feet
to the water below. On the lower
side the wall is terraced, forming
huge stair steps. It was on this
side that the unfortunate George
felL When the rope parted he was
precipitated into space, falling
backward for a distance of twelve
feet before striking the terrace be
low, from which he bounded from
one to the other till the bottom
was reached.
Those who saw the accident
stood with bated breath and only
expected when they reached the
unfortunate man to find him dead.
He was hastily conveyed to the
hospital where Dr. Melick made an
examination disclosing the fact that
aside from an ugly cut on the head
and numerous bruises, no great
damage was done. How the man
escaped with his life was a miracle,
and that he could have fallen a dis
tance of seventy feet without a
bone being broken seems almost
impossible to believe.
At this writing Mr. George is
able to be around town, though it
will be some days before he will re
turn to work.
This is the third accident of the
kind to happen almost in the same
place.
During the construction of the
original dam in 1894 a workman
fell from the wall, striking his head
on a rock, rendering him uncon
scious. He was removed to Ash
Fork, where the hospital was then
located and where he died. About
the same time, Ruth, the little
daughter of Mr. and Mrs Wm.
Hayward, while playing about the
dam, lost her balance and fell
down the terraced wall, receiving
injuries to one of her shoulders
from which she has not yet re
covered. I
