Orval Langenberg. a local youth,
was quite seriously injured this
morning shortly after 8 o'clock when
the motorcycle on which has was rid
fcig crashed Into the Roseburg luun-'
dry auto delivery at the Junction of
Winchester and First streets. The
boy sustained a deep gash on ili
head, a cut in the left ear, a bad
bruise on the neck, and numerous
other scratches and bruises about the
body. Ho was takBi at onco lo tho
office of Dr. Shoemaker, where sev
eral stitches were taken lo close tho
wound in his head and his other in
juries were treated. The boy wa3
knocked senseless and it was some
time before he could give any ac
count of the accident.
According to his disconnected
story and the statements of those
who happenod to be nearby at me
time of the accident, Langenberg was
riding north on Winchester street ul
a pretty fair rnte of speed. He had
crossed the railroad trucks and had
reached the First street junction,
when Giant Wilcox, driving the laun
dry car south on Winchester, turned
off into First street. Langenberg
had the right of way, but was going
at sueh a speedy rate that ho was un
able to stop or turn as the laundry
ear crossed In fronl and blocked him.
The motorcycle smashed into the
front fender of the car with a re
sounding crash and broke tho wind
shield of the auto. Langenberg was
sent flying through the air and land
ed lu the car under the feet of W il
cox. His hend struck the windshield
nnd the shattered glass flew in every
direction. According to Wilcox the
boy was extremely lucky to escape
death. The motorcycle was baillv
damaged and In in considerable need
of repair.
Bernie Hyland In his Dodge road
ster happened by and picked up the
inlnred lad and rushed him to tho
offices of Dr. Shoemaker. Langen-
here- lost considerable blood, ana was
weakened to such an extent that he
was unable to rememoer anyuuns
concerning the affair.
An examination of his wounds
showed that the cut on his head was
the most serious Injury. The cut was
ibout three inches long and had
nonet rated to the bone. It Is thought
that a slight concussion may be the
result.
Langenberg laved no blame. on Wll
.nx ivhlh nuestloned later. He de
clared thai he had been traveling loo
fast and said that It wouiq teacu niiu
a lesson.

Roomer Loses
$172 in Fire
The Carl Ohman rooming house on
lower Cass street was partially de
stroyed by Are on last Saturday nlcht
shortly after 11 o'clock. The origin
of the conflagration Is not positively
known, although Mr. Oilman is of the
belief that the flames were kindled
by a smouldering cisarete stub
which had no doubt been carelessly
thrown from a rear upper window
onto the low sheds below. The fire
started in that portion of the build
ing. It was thought at first that de
fective wiring might have been the
cause, but a close Investigation dis
proved that theory. A traveler who
had Just entered the building and
o'ing to the lateness of the hour
had not registered, was assigned a
room. A few minums inter tho Are
started, nnd as ho fled to the street
he left his coat, containing $172 In
currency. In his room. The entire
sum was lost in the flames. Other
losses of clothing and other articles
of value were sustained by the room
ers nnd owners of the building. The
Are department made a record run to
'he Are and within a short lime nan
the flames under control. The build
ing was covered partially by insur
ance, but the loss will total several
hundred dollars.
Fire At Culver
Ranch Yesterday
An extensive fire which resulted In

ing Are near the hams where Mr.
Culver was branding cattle. It cov
ered about 400 acres and destroyed
between two and three miles of
fence. It was owing to the efforts of
neighbors and seveial Roseburg peo
ple that the Arc was Anally gotten
under control. Several times tho
flames were within a very short dis
tance of the ranch buildings and It
was only with considerable Aghting
that they were saved. J. V. Starreit
of this city was in the vicinity at the
time the Are started and had a quar
ter of a mile of burning area to com
bat. He states that It waa anything
but a cool Job.
