Bridge at Oak Street
An action Tor $ 1 3,000 damages
against the Sutherlin Laud & Water
Company opened the trial docket of
the Circuit Court, which convened in
regular session in Itoseburg this
morning. The plaintiff in the case
is Fred C. Powell, former superin
tendent of the company's electrical
department, who is suing for per
sonal injuries sustained while in the'
company's employ on November 4,
1910. His attorney is U. l Coshow.!
The company's counsel consists of;
Dexter liice and Elbert li. Hermann.!
While i'owell was doing line work
on one of the company's poles, the
polo, being of unsound character,
broke, th Diving Powell to the
ground. Then tho pole rolled over
his left, arm crushing it vo badly thai
the limb could not he restored to its
former strength and usefulness by
surgical treatment. Twenty-seven
pieces , of bone were removed from
the arm.
I'owell's complaint declares that
the company was rendered liable for
tho damages asked because, it is al
leged, it was the company's place to
see that its -poles were in safe condi
tion. The company's defense Is con
tributory negligence on Powell's
part. It contends that it was proper

electrical superintendent, to look af
ter the poles and that he, more than
anyone else. Is responsible for the
accident that befell him. It Is al

One Damage Action Dismissed,
Tho caso of Deloa Livingston
against Doctor George K. Houck for
$20,000 damages was dismissed by
Judge Hamilton this morning upou
motion of the plaintiff's attorney, V.
W. Cardwell. Livingston was suing
for permanent injuries alleged to
have been sustained from Doctor
Houck while being treated for ab
dominal trouble with an X-ray ma
chine. Cardwell said his client was too 111
to nppear in court and that he prob
ably would never be able to do so.
It is the law that in personal injury
cases the cause of action expires with
the demise of the person involved.
Cirund Jurors Favor Oak Street.
The retiring grand jury of the ses
sion of court that ended last Satur
day, in presenting its final report,
added another chapter to the contro
versy over the proposed location of
a new county bridge at Oak street,
in the city of Itoseburg. when It said:
"We recommend that when the
bridge across the Umpqua River Is
reconstructed it should bo built
where the people who cross the
bridge Fay It should be located.
Three of the undersigned grand jur
ors reside on the west side ot the
river and use the bridge and all
favor Oak street as a location."
The three grand jurors referred to
in the above are Georgo Scott, of
Melrose, foreman; Horace Campbell,
of West Rosohurg, and C. Lutman,
of Looking Glass. Their four col
leagues were W. S. Barton, N. D.
MeCall, E. C. Sutherland and J. R.
Pickett.
Unlike nearly all of Its predecea- j
sors for years past, the jury made
no recommendation for tho construc
tion of a new county jail.

Tho case of Ed Lough, accused of
assaulting his wife whllo drunk at '
the former family home on South I
Doer Creek, has ended according to!
general predictions. Airs. Lough,
who testified against her husband un
reservedly at the preliminary hearing
of the case in the Justice Court, ex
perienced a change of heart before
the grand jury convened and failed
to put in appearance a second time.
In its report, the jury in bo many
words, said that It returned not a
true bill in Lough's case because his
wife has gone to Idaho. As Mrs.
Lough Is the prosecuting witness, her
absence makes It Impossible for the
state to convict. Lough was released
from custody this morning.

The jury's report also recites that
it voted one true bill but refrained
from filing it because of the death

(Special to The Evening Review).
CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. 17. It
Is semi-officially reported that Enver
Bey, chief of staff of the Turkish
army, was fatally wounded by an
assassin last night. When attacked
he was leaving the Sultan's harem,
to which by reason of his marriage
into the Sultan's family, Enver had
access. It is reported that he was
stubbed by a disgruntled soldier.
A MulgiU'ian battery and a mining
detachment have completely de
stroyed the Turkish buttleshin Assar-I-Tewfik,
which ran ashore February
11 at Karburuu on tho Black Sea
coast.
The Bulgarians also have sunk a
Turkish transport, with all hands, off
Clarkeul.
Advices from Gallipoli indicate a
general condition of disorganization
among the Turkish troops. There is
a lack of money and an insufficiency
of officers and supplies, while politi
cal antagonism among the officers
virtually have destroyed discipline.
Stories are current of atrocities by
both the Turks and Bulgarians in the
district around Bulalr.
