Machine Plunge over Ilank
North of Wilbur.
A. P. Walker, of Oakland, Calif.,
was killed last nlgnt In an automn
'blle accident which occurred about
a mile north of Wilbur. The car, a
Dodge roadster was being driven by
O. ,H. Johnson, of i Wooderville,
Wasu., and was occupied by tho lat
ler's wife and Mr. Walker. It was
being driven at a high rate of speed
when it left the road and Pluneed
over the bank, throwing out the oc
cupants. Walker's bead was crush
ed and he died of cerebreal hemor
hage at the Hall sanitarium In Suth
erlin about four hours later.
Johnson and Walker had been em
ployed for some time as sign painters
for the O. H. Jude Co.. of New York.
They have been doing the prelim
inary work, mere being two parties,
one following a day behind to com-
"plete the work started by the ad
vance party. They left Eugene yes
terday morning and worked their
vay into Sutherlin last evening. It
was about six o'clock when they lott
that place for Roseburg, evidently
trawling at a very high rate of
speed. Mr. Johnson was driving, his
wife being seated beside him and
Walker occupying the same seat be
ing on the outside.
The accident happened so quickly
that neither Mr. Johnson nor his
wife have been able to give an ac
count exactly what happened. Thy
were nearing Wilbur, traveling fast.
when the car was allowed to reach
the outer edge of the road and on
effort to pull it back into the road
was of no avail and It plunged over
the bank, which is about five feet
in height, and so fast was its mo
mentum that with the axle drag
ging It ran for 76 feet before turning
on Its side, throwing out the occu
pants. Johnson sars that he got to his
feet and called tn his wife.
"I cm not hurt a bit," she
spondc '.
"Neither am I. We sure got out
of that lucky, dldn t we Walker?"
Walker did not answer and both
looked back to find hlra lying be
side the car strangling in blood t'i it
was pouring from his eyes, nose.
mouth and ears. A passing tourist
was hailed and the Injured man
rushed to the Hall sanitarium at
Sutherlin. Anocher tourist passing
at that time brought word into Rose
burg and meeting Sheriff Qttlne said
'hat a doctor could not be found in
Sutherlin. The Sheriff Immediately
located Dr. Houck and the two made
a fast trip to Sutherlin. However,
medical attention had been given
the Injured man by the time they ar
rived and their assistance was no;
needed.
Walker lived for about three and
one-half hours after reaching the
sanitarium, his death ultimately re
sulting from hemorrage. It is not
known how he sustained the Injury
which resulted In his death. A dent
on the right side of his head shows
p'alnly that he was struck by a
round bar about an inch in diameter
which might have been the wind
shield frame or some other portion
of the machine. The blow fractured
the skull on the right side and and
aUo brQke the rght jawbone. . The
left side of the head was completely
crushed.
Following the de.ith of the accident
victim Coroner Rltter was called but
oh acocunt of the plain facts in the
case did not hold an Inquest, but
brought the body to thir city. It
was found that Walker served in the
Canadian army during the war, be
ing between 23 and 30 years of age.
So far as Is known he has no nearer
relatives than an aunt who resides
at Oakland, Cal. An effort to com
municate with her brought no re
sponse at noon today.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson drove to
this cltv today, the car having been
repaired, and will remain here until
some disposition of the body Is
made.

PORTLAND. July 29. Al-
fred Fattlg, the Jackson coun-
ty draft evader, who surren-
dered last week after three
years spent in ' hiding in tbe
Siskiyou mountains, today re-
ceived a sentence of nine
months In tbe county jail.
After hiding out In mountain fast
nesses fur over three years, Alfred
Kattig, of Medford, a draft evader,
has surrendered to the fedoral offi
cers and is now being hold In Port
land. After filling out his question
naire he and his brother Charles
went Into the Siskiyou mountains.
where they have lived on wildjueat,
berries and such other food as they
could flud. llio bi'others separated
and Alfred has no idea ot where his
brother is located.
"Wo didn't want to kill anyone"
explained Alfred In giving his story
yesterday. "Wo were brought up to
beliove that killing isn't right, so
rather than gs to war and kill people
we preferred to hide out in tho
mountains. It has been a terrible ex
perience. The army would have been
heaven compared to it. No one told
us that becuuse of our conscientious
objections to killing we could have
been assigned to non-combatant ser-
VlC".
"I was born In Nebraska 27 years
ago, and raine with my parents to
Oregon when a child. We lived 12
miles southwest from Medford. When
wo decided that we could not be sol
diers because of our principles
against killing, we prepared for flee
ing to the mountains. We took cloth
ing, salt, matches, weapons and am
munition. I forget how many pairs
of shoes I carried probably half a
dozen. I had 1000 rounds of am
munition Wo carried a prospector's
pan and pretended to be prospectors

ors or miners In the mountains,
which wasn't often.
"Onds since we left I returned
home. I saw my mother In February,
1918, and then went back to th i
mountains. About Chrlstnius time In
1918 wo heard from an old niluer
that the war was over.
"Always we kept moving, summer
or winter. We never remained more
than two weeks In one spot. We each
bad a small tent and a sleeping bag,
and once In a while we found an
abandoned cabin which would shelter
us. We ranged In the mountains
around Indian creek and tho Clear
water country and kept high up In
the Slsklyous except In winter, when
the snows were terribly deep. We
never tried prospecting; It took all
our time trying to keep alive. It wai
always a case of trying to get food.
We killed and ate deer and bear and
BTouse. Wo trailed wild bees to their
trees for honey and we ate berries.
A few times we got a little coffee
from some store In a III tie settlement
but mostly we drank only water. We
got n Utile cornnieal once or twice.
"The diet of wild game was monot
onous. Wo had to keep eating fresh
meat, without bread or vegetable,
and It affected our constitution, but
we kept going. We cooked our meat
with the grease reduced from fat
taken from h-nr and deer. Always
we had to avoid discovery. We never
built a Are when within five miles of
a settlement except at night, for fear
(he smoke would be seen, and when
we used a Are we placed It where It
would be concealed.
"Last fall my brother Charles said
he bad had enough of It and was
going somewhere to work. I decided
to keep In tho mountains, atone. All
through the winter In the Slsklyous.
wl'h deep snows, I lived alone, and
hail to hunt and flsh to keep sun
plied with food. Lonesome? It wai
awful! I never heard a voice for
long periods of time, except my own,
and the sound of my own voice
startled mo. I wouldn't go through
the experience again for any sum of
money. My hair grew long, but I
kept It reasonably short by cutting It
mvself. I hud a razor and kept
shaved."
