Killed By a Falling Tree-
Charles Erickson met a sad death on Wednesday last by a tree falling on him. The accident happened on the Washington shore of the Columbia, just opposite this place, at about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, while himself and James Daley were engaged in felling timber. Mr. Erickson has lived with Frank Gillespie, the manager of the Lewis river boom, for a number of years, and is well known in this section. As soon as the accident happened a messenger was dispatched to this place with the intelligence, and a number of persons from here hurried to the scene to assist in extricating the body from the position into which it had been forced by the weight of the tree. Death was instantaneous.
