James F. Wallace, 74, former second ward alderman, was killed Friday night when he fell from a "manlift" at Bunge elevator, Thirteenth & Brook Aves SE, where he was employed as a night watchman. Wallace apparently slipped from the platform, fixed to a vertical conveyor belt which is used as an elevator. He suffered a broken back and crushed chest. Wallace was elected to the city council in November 1916. He is survived by a daughter, Helen Mary, and lived at 1004 16th Ave. SE
