SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Two Pendleton . Pleasure Seekers
Badly Hurt.
Mies Katherine Parsons and J. A.
Chespe were injured in a runaway ac
cident at Camas Prairie last Saturday.
Just how seriously has not been ascer
tained. James Manion, who came in
from Camas Prairie Sunday morning,
gives the following particulars, as told
him by a party who came from the
springs where the party, of whom Miss
Parsons and Mr. Cheape were members,
are camped.
Mr. Cheape took with him to the
mountains a spirited saddle horse.
Wishing to take a buggy ride he bar
nsesed the animal and bitched him to
Miss Woodruffs buggy. It seems the
horse had never been used in this man
ner, but when driven about by Mr.
Cheape. seemed to conduct himself all
right and subsequently Mies Parsons got
into (he buggy with Mr. Cheape and
they drove away. After they had
traveled some distance and were descend
ing a hill the horse became unmanage
able and ran away. At the foot of the
bill the buggy smashed into a log and
both occupants were dashed - to the
ground. Both were rendered unconscious
by the fall and remained in that condi
tion for at least two hours.
Mies Parsons was carried to camp on a
stretcher and . was unable to move at
last accounts. Mr. Cheape was also bad
ly hurt.
A son of O. E. Hoover discovered the
injured ones lying by the buggy which
was badly broken up. Mr. Cheape was
just regaining consciousness as be came
along.
Dr. Alexander of Ukiah was sent for
and after examination stated that no
bones of either party were broken.
Mrs. Col. Parsons, was badly frightened
when she first beard of the accident,
but' is consoling herself today with the
belief that inasmuch as no one has come
in from there with further news, the in-
Inry to her daughter is not dangerous.

AF CAMP BKYAN.
A Rousing Ratification What
the
Campers are Doing.
Camp Bryan, August 9. Perhaps a
few lines relative to camp life and wbat
the people are doing up bere would
materially assist in "filling up" the
Pbess the coming week, and also be of
some interest to those who would like to
be here, but are detained at borne by
business and harvest work.
Bryan camp is located at Cold springs,
on the main road to Woodward's toll
gate, and is an ideal camping place.
The population of the camp numbers
about fifty persons. Tbe hail from
Athena, Weston, Milton, Walla Walla,
Hudson Bay and other places. Everyone
is sociable in all the term implies, and
are here to enjoy themselves in every
way possible.
The daily pursuit of the average in
habitant of Camp Bryan seems to be
"rustling" after the luscious huckleberry,
which abounds in vast profusion in
proximity to the camp.
The eenicga are spent in visiting and
conirregating around the campflre, in
front of your neighbor's tent, baturday
evening the Press gang were tendered
an invitation to attend the Bryan ratifi
cation meoting, which was held in tbe
biilliant light of a mammoth bon-fire, on
Wm. Goodman's camp ground, near the
main spring.
Everybody, bis wife and sweetheart
were there, and the demonstration was
such that one could not help but at once
comprehend by the enthusiasm dis
played by all present, from what source
this lively camp derives its name.
Everyone is for Bryan and silver; even
the old tabby cat at the Robinson camp
and the well-bred, curly dog that lives at
the home of the Goodmans, at Hudson
Bay.
The meeting was called to order by
President Prof. F. J. VanWinkle, of the
Eastern Oregon normal school. Tbe
president announced that the nature of i
.i . ..;. . I , i
me meeting was to rainy too nomination
of William Jennings Bryan, the boy
orator of the Platte, in connection with
which there would be instrumental and
vocal muaic, declamations, etc.
The first number on the program was a
beautiful and masterly executed guitar
solo by Mies Myrtle Goodman, of Hud
son Bay. Miss Goodman's rendition was
well received by tbe appreciative audi
enco, who showed their pleasure by ap
plauding generously.
Professor VanWinkle delivered the ad
dress of the evening. His oration was a
masterly effort, and his eloquent utter
ances struck responsive chords in tho
hearts of his hearers, as was evinced by
the rant attention given the speaker. By
way of prefatory, the speaker said be was
considered the only orator in the Van
Winkle family, since the days of the
venerable Kip, and no doubt the' speaker
was inspired to some extent by bis wild
surroundings, and likened them to the
wilderness of the Catekills where his an
cestor (I don't exactly know whether tbe
professor traces bis lineage back to tbe
hunter of stills or not) slept his Bleep of
twenty years.
America was sung by the entire audi
ence, led by Mrs. Lva Pierce, of Milton,
after which the president announced
that Mr. Smith and Mr. Foyd, of the
Athena Fresh, were present, and as Mr.
Smith was of a very talkative disposition,
he would perhaps orate and give those
present a few pointers on silver and the
political issues of tho day. But Smith
was tired from a long, dusty ride, and
in ado the young ladies blush and the
young man from Walla Walla suddenly
take it into his head that a tall pine tree
was a pretty good thing to look at, bv
stating that as he was a new justice of
the peace, and if any of those present
wished to be linrct together, all they
would have (o do, would be to come
down to the Paces tent, where his
shingle would be found without env
superfluous difficulty.
beveral ot the ladles wanted to hear
Boyd, but when he faced tho audience to
offer a timid request that he be excused,
the firelight played peak-a-boo with a
growth of whiskers that will pussle the
keen edge of Parker's razors to mow
down. He was let off easy by saying
that lie thought Bryan was all tight.
Alias Uoodman then favored the audi
ence with another guitar solo and was
followed by Miss Luna U'Uarra who
pleased the audience with a declamation.
entitled "Woman's Eights."
"Home, Sweet Home," tbe song that
never grows old and ia always beautiful.
was sung very sweetly by a quartette of
young ladles from Milton. The encore
which followed tbe rendition of this song
was so loud and long that the quartette
reponded with "Juauita."
The proftwor then gave those present
an interesting account of his trip east last
summer, and It was interesting in the
extreme to listen to him as he recounted
in detail the many historical places be
visited and the ancient relics his eyea
had feasted on.
He had stood cn the bridge that in
spired I.on a fellow to write his beautiful
poem that was afterwards put to munia
and which since has been aung by
thousands in every land and clime. It
was natural to want to bear the song,
and Mrs. Pierce was prevailed on to
again favor ns, which eh did ia a very
creditable manne with Miss Goodman as
accompanist on the gaitar.
A recitation, "A Strange Story" by
Miss Pierce was followed by Miss
O'Harra who gracefully and pathetically
recited "Bister and I." "Where the
Angels Stand," by tbe quartette, ended
the ratification and entertainment.

A Bicycle constructed ot material that ia solid, tough and wiry;
that is simple in construction, easily taken aoart and nut together again
has few parts, is of such wiry material that its parts will hold together
even in an accident, no hollow material to be crushed in by every con
tact; a frame that cannot possibly "be broken j a frame so simple that its
adjusting parts serve as its connecting parts; a one-piece crank in place
of a dozen parts; always ready to give reliable and rapid transportation.
SPECIFICATIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS.
FRAME. Improved Double Diamond. What is a Double
Diamond Frame? Simply a true trues in every direction for strains
that occur in Cycles the outline of two diamonds in its makeup. The
frames are constructed of f -inch cold rolled steel rods, the toughest and
strongest metal for its weight known, and the parts are joined together
with steel and aluminum bronze fittings in such a manner that it ia
impossible to brake or any part to work loose. A marvel of novelty,
simplicity and durability, the greatest combination of ingenuity in bi
cycle mechanism, to build a frame without brazen joints and tubing,
as you know that frames continually break and fracture at brazen joints
and tubes when they are buckled in cannot be repaired. We guaran
tee our Double Diamond Frame for three years. You cannot
break it. Standard size Bteering head and wheel base, ball bearings
at both ends of head.
WHEELS. 28-inch front and rear, warranted one-piece wood
rims,.best quality piano wire spokes and brass nipples, large barrel hubs
fitted with "Arlington" hose pipe, Morgan & Wright "quick repair," or
some other first-class pneumatic tire.
AXLE AND BEARINGS. Indestructible ball bearings through
out, with 148 hardened steel balls. Crank shaft bearings are fitted with
our patent ball cases, which are interlocked and support each other and
cannot possibly come apart while in use. Are neat and cover the bear
ings completely. It has been an acknowledged fact that crank ' axle
bearings are susceptible of improvement, as threaded cones or crank ax
les are continually crowding or working loose. We save this entire nuis
ance by having no threaded parts whatever, but a clever device in frame
for adjustment, Our invention is most perfect in simplicity and must
be seen to be appreciated. The sprocket and chain are on the inside of
the frame and ball bearings.' Great value is gained by this arrange
ment; easo of running, double wear saved, positive never loose bearings,
freedom from contact with chain and sprocket, smooth outward globu
lar ball bearings, less friction and lost motion, hence greater speed.
Then with the jointless "one-piece crank," feet, ankles and trousers are
free from injury.
ONE-PIECE CRANK. Our great achievement; by its appli
cation we put two cranks, two pedal axles, two keys, six screws, six nut
and four washers all in one piece. From 50 to 100 per cent, of all the
trouble to bicycles is from cranks working loose., and pedal axles that
break from clamping connections. They get loose co matter how much
pains is taken to key and tighten them. Thjs is caused by too many
parts, and it is entirely saved by our device, which is but one piece,
and made from tough rolled steel rods, impossible to break. It ha6 been
proven that when other cranks break from accident, our one-piece crank
will hardly bend.
CHAIN. Humber block pattern, best quality, hardened.
SPROCKET WHEELS. Best drop forged steel.
REACH. Shortest, 28 inches; longest, 37 inches,
GEAR. 64 or 72, as specified.
FRONT FORKS. Indestructible. Our fork crowns are simply
a section of gun barrel steel turned up to size, then bored and bent,
forming a perfect fork crown that cannot be surpassed for strength and
beauty, also giving a support to our solid cold rolled fork rods that just
limit the necessary amount of springiness required in a front fork and
which can only be obtained by use of our forks and crown.
HANDLE BARS. Reversible and adjustable, a marvel of sim
plicity, readily adjusted to any position desired, with best cork or com
position handles. In buying a bicycle it is always a vexed question as
to whether you want dropped or elevated handle bars. If you wanted
one kind you could not have the other. Our handle bar enables you to
have either at will. Will furnish Ram's Horn handle bars if preferred.
SADDLES. Gilliam, P. & F., Reading, or other first-class make.
PEDALS. Rat trap or rubber; full ball bearing, . "
FINISH. All parts are enameled with our own special enamel,
rubbed down and baked, giving it a handsome black, glossy appearance.
All bright parts are heavily nickle-plated; these, with the jet black gloss
parts, give a handsome appearance which cannot be excelled.
ACCESSORIES. Each "May wood" Bicycle is furnished with a
leather tool bag, containing pump, wrench and patent oiler.
WEIGHT. According to tires, pedals, saddles, from 27 to 30 lbs.
A PRICE THAT WILL REACH YOU.
. Do not imagine because it is not high priced it is , not high grade
We do not use expensive hollow tubing, besides, we belong to no Com
bination or Trust. We own every patent, pay no royalties, manufacture
the entire wbeel ourselves and are satisfied with a reasonable profit, em
ploy no expensive racers, but depend upon the good common senso ot
the American people to appreciate a good thing when they see it. We
afford to make the price we do, for we expect to sell ten "Maywoods"
to one of any individual make sold. We simply say that the "May
wood" is a perfect Bicycle, containing more originality and genuine
points of excellence than can be found in all other machines together.
The "May wood" has puccessfully passed through the experimen
tal stage. During the past three years we have put out over 5,000
"Maywoods," placed in the hands of riders of all classes and widely
distributed through the country. . Expert riders and clumsy riders,
heavy men and light men, on smooth roads and on rough roads, have
given this wheel every conceivable test, proving it to be the best wheel
on earth for every day use, a wheel that can be constantly used over the
roughest roads without showing weakness and the constant necessity of
repairs. Its construction is so simple, its vital parts so strong, that the
possibility of breakage is reduced to a minimum. !, ;
