JAMES PITMAN KILLED
IN ENGINE E)
Donkey Cxplodcs Near Hslacnda,
Saturday, five Deaths Resulting
WAS A PORMliK HILLSBOKU BOY
Brother of William Pitman, Whose Fam
ily Resides Here
James Pitman, well known here,
mt his life Saturday morning,
in a logging camp near Kstacada,
in a donkey engine explosion,
his body having been hurled
altout 100 feet. There was a new
fireman on the engine, and one
of the valves was not working
properly. William Pitman, who
was in charge of the logging
outfit, left a few minutes before
the explosion, and started for
Portland to procure a new valve,
and the crew was to get along as
Itest they could until he return
ed. The men had gathered
around the donkey to warm their
hands and await the time of com
mencing work. There was not
enough water in the engine Itoil
er, and suddenly the explosion
came. The four men killed were
hurled to the earth and Pitman
was instantly killed, l he holler
was found a quarter of a mile
away. One body was found sev
eral hundred feet away, mangled
beyond recognition. The fireman
escaped.
James Pitman lived here for a
number of years, anil was a hap
py-go-lucky sort ot lellow- a
hard worker and generally well
liked.
William Pitman has lived in
HillsUtro for many years, and
his family liyeson Baseline Street.
The logging outfit had been
getting out logs for a big mill,
near the Sandy, and the Pitmans
had been connected with logging
operations for some time. Wil
liam Pitman was struck by a
huge hook last Fall, and came
near losing his life. Had he not
started to get a new valve for
the engine he too would have
been with the crew, and
than likely would have
numbered with the dead.
