NUMBER 84 BANDON LITTLE GIRL RUN DOWN BY BICYCLE Failure of Bicycle Brake drork on Edison Avenue Grade. Causes Accident Riding a bicycle on the sidewnli nnd tlio failure of tho coaster brake to work on the Edison Avenue grade was the cause of tho serious injury to the small daughter of Mr. Alex Ken nedy yesterday, when Ike Martin, Jr. delivery boy for the City Meat Market collided with tho little girl at the corner of Edition and Second Street, throwing her to the sidewalk". The child suffered a bad gash in the scalp just above the forehead. A fine of $,10 was handed out to young Martin in the Municipal Court in the afternoon for failure to dis mount when passing u pedestrian the sidewalk, as is required by the City Ordinance. Martin said that he was coming down the hill at a mode rale rate of speed when the coaster brake refused to work, and that wher he reached Second Street tho wheel was beyond bis control. He says he was badly scared and did not see the girl until be wns almost on her. The blind corner here, formed by tho Ken iiedy house and thebigh board fence nlong the Second Street, makes tliir spot particularly dangerous because of tho fact that people coming wesl on Edison Avenue or North on Second Street are shut off from a view of the intersecting street. Martin sny3 thai he docs not know whether tho little girl was nlredy on the sidewalk, oi whether she had just come around the blind corner, when he hit her. Celebrates Her First Iiirthdny.

JUDGES MAY HOLD SIX YEARS Forgotten Constitutional Amendment Dug Up by Portland Attorneys That County Judge Hall's term of office will not expire for two years, and therefore thore will lie no elec tion for that office thiR year, is the startling possibility brought up by the resurrection ut Portland of a for gotten constitutional amendment. The Portland Oergonian says: Hopes of aspirants for the position of County Judge in 18 Oregon coun ties will, it is believed, lie dashed to earth by the discovery by Portland at torneys of the forgotten amendment to the state constitution tha provides Judges of Oregon courts shall hold office for six years instead of four. The effect of this is to leave pescnt County Judges in office two years longer. At the general election next mom ii, candidates for County Judge tire on the ballot in the following named counties: Baker, Benton, Clakamas, Clatsop, Coos, Douglas, Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Josephine, Klamath, Lake, Lane, Lincoln, Tilla mook, Umatilla, Union and Yamhill. The law so long over looked has slum bered on page 1 of the 1011 session laws and was passed by the people at tlte general election In November, 1910, It is a constitutional amend ment to article''?, section 1, und was found in tho goneral search of the law books that has followed the re cent decision of tho Supcme Court in the wide r.prcnd efforts of Portland attorneys and others to establish tho legal status of Judge Cleeton. .
