Serious Accident
 
Frederick Benjamin Willmore of Preston, Idaho was accidentally killed while 
unloading electric light poles in the Fruitland yards, about 4 p. m. Thursday, 
March 22nd.  While working for the Idaho Power Co. under Lineman F. G. Redman, 
and Virgil McAdams another employee, was severely injured when the poles on 
the top of the car upon which they were standing, while cutting the wires 
which bound the load to the car, began sliding.  Seemingly, the stakes on the 
opposite side to which wires had been fastened were broken off and the 
pressure on the upright stakes on the side they were working caused them to 
give way and they were carried to the ground and buried under the failing 
timbers.  McAdams was rushed to the hospital at Ontario, where it was found he 
sustained a broken leg and an injured shoulder.  A coroner's inquest was held 
and young Willmore was found to have met instantaneous death caused by the 
falling of the poles upon him.
 
His body was brought to the Landon Home Undertaking Parlors, where it was 
prepared for shipment.  It was accompanied to Preston by an uncle, Clancey 
Williams, who is a brother of the boy's mother.
