When Thrown to Pavement Kroni ,
Hark In Which He Wan "
Hiding With Others.
Sid Moore was possibly fatally In
jured and J. L. Thornton was hadiy
hurt In an accident which occurred
at the railroad crossing at tiie en
trance to Oakland yesterday after
noon. Mr. Moore has been uncon
scious -fcince being thrown to the
pavement and a fractured skuit is
feared.
The accident occurred Just as
northbound train No. 14 was pulling
Into Oakland. Mr. Moore was clriv
Icg a team drawing a hack in which
as seated his wife and child and
Mr. Thornton. The hack contained
several sacks of wool and some cans
of cream and Mr. Thtrnton was
seated on top of the load. The train
was visible but the driver believing
he had plenty of ttmo. startod across
Ihe track. The team was high spirit
ed and frightened by the nearlng
train and the warning signals issued
ky tho engineer, started to prance
and halted the hack squarely on the
tracks.
The long train was moving at a
fairly rapid rate of speed but wilh
r.pplied brakes as It was preparing
ti. stop at Oakland. The hacK was
struck squarely and the occupants
thrown to the pavement. The woman
and child escaped with only a few
tiiinor bruises but the two men wert;
rute seriously Injured. One of Mr.
Thornton's legs was badly cut at the
knee and tho flesh peeled from the
t'one for considerable distance. It
is also feared that tho bone was
fractured. Ho was cut and- bruised
about the body, his wounds being
very painful but not necossariiy
tiUnl.
Mr. Moore was thrown to the pave
ment, striking his head and a deep
vut was Inflicted, and it is fearei
hat the skull was fractured. He
hns been delirious since the accident
rnd requires constant attention.

1'irge number of people and immedi
ate assistance was given the injured
t.ersons. They were given medical
Mtentlon and are now being cared
For at Oakland. S. I. Thornton and

where they will arrange for the care
oi the Injured.
An Investigation of the accident
is being made by Frank Rogers,
Southern Pacific sneclnl agent, who
left for Oakland on the early train
'.his morning.
Packing Costs to
Be High This Year
Along with everything else the
cost of packing apples is going up.
according to a number of , growers
who are complaining about the situ
ation they are facing. The box mnr
ket is very uncertain and It is feared
that there will be a great shortago
of boxes in spite of the price of 30
cents for shooks, as compared with
an average of 18 cents last year.
Growers will pay from 12H cents a
(Tound for layer boards to 17 and 18
cents for light weight paper for their
boxes this year. These prices are
from 25 to 50 per cent higher than
last year. The Influx of ex-service
men " seeking homestead land has
worked to the advantage of the
growers, as many of these young men
are taking places In the orchards
and are receiving wages varying
from $75 to 100 per month.

Wood I Ned led.
Hon. Montaville Slower lectured
and author of International repute,
laul night addressed a large aud
ience at the armory In the inter
est of the candidacy of Gen. Leon
ard Wood for president of the Uni
ted State. Hi lecture was excel
lent from all standpoints and was 1
well received.
He Indulged In no personalities
about other randidutea, but confin
ed his remark to straightforward
argument Intendod to how Wood
as the ablest and most efficient can
didate available. With due defer
ence to all the other candidate he
declre4 that Wood has had more
varied experience fitting him for
the presidency than any of our pres
idents had had before becoming
prosldent.
In hi address he made it plain
that In hi belief the contest waa
between Wood and Hiram Johnson
for the republican nomination, and
'hat the people would overwhelm
ingly demand Wood. "A vote for
Wood -Is a vote against Johnson,"
he said.
Mr. Flower .called attention to
the spirit of unrest throughout the
country, much of which was foster
v a radical foreign element, which
he said If not curbed might keep
on growing until It threatened the
very principles of the declaration of
Independence, and to check which
and restore normal condition re
quired the election to the presidency
ot an able, conservative, tested, ty
plcnl offlcient American of wide ad
ministrative expurlonce, like Leon
ard Wood.
Then the orator sank the fang ot
