for the past 16 years has been para
lyzed as the result of a fall from a
tree when 14 years of age. walked
for the first time since his accident
yesterday when he was healed of his
ailment during the healing service
conducted by Dr. Price In Albany.
Spaugh, after being anointed, rose
irom nis wneeiea chair, walked a
few steps, and then sank to the floor
In a comatose state, in which he re
mained for several hours. Upon re
gaining consciousness, he walked
into the elevator of his hotel and
also into the dining room, according
to a report rrom Albany.
Spaugh is well known in this city,
having resided in this county for
many years. He sustained his injury
when he fell from the lower limbs
of a tree. Injuring his spine. He was
paralyzed from the waist down and
lias been unable to walk for more
than 16 years.
A special gasoline driven vehicle
was constructed for him and he has
been frequently seen driving the
three-wheeled machine through the
city's streets. He could scarcely
waUc on crutches and Bpent most of
his time In a wheeled chair. He
went to Albany last Wednesday after
hearing of the marvelous healings at
the Price meetings. . The account of
his own healing is given In the
Albany newspaper as follows:
All who sought healing seemed to
sense tho unseen power. Even
people In the audience who had not
received cards were touched by the
power and fell under it.
An Instance of this type was that
of Wilbur Spaugh of Roseburg, who
has been paralyzed for 16 years. He
had attended the services since Wed
nesday night, but was not numbered
in the healing linn. While sitting
In the audience beside his mother, he
was touched by the hidden force and
fell forward. Dr. Price went .down
from the platform and anointed him
rebuking the ailment. The boy rose
from his seat, an act he had not
done for 16 years and walked a few
steps, then sank to the floor under
the power, remaining trlore until
nearly midnight. This morning he
walked to the elevator In the hotel
without his crutehes and into the
dining room. After breakfast ho re
turned unaided to his room.
Spaugh fell from a tree when 14
years old. dislocating two vertebrae
In his neck. This caused him to be
come paralyzed from just below the
arm. For five years he was confined
to his bed, his parents declare, not
even being able to feed himself. For
the remnlning 11 years, he has been
able to move slowly with the aid of
crutches, but even then was not able
to rise from a chair without assist
ance. All sense of balnnco was loat
to him, he said.
When Interviewed at his hotel this
morning he said that he could feel
life In his limbs, which had not been
felt liefore. He declared thnt he could
fairly feel the now strength tingling
In his veins. He rose from his chair
and stood without aid to further con
vlnce those piesent. Mr. Spaugh has
followed the Jewelry business in
Roseburg for some time.
An X-ray nlrture of his neck, ta
en bv one of the leading doctors of
Portland, showed the two vertebrae
mit of place which partially severed
the spinal cord. It Is the second eas
on record where a person has lived
after having his neck broken. It is
said. The testimony concerning the
ynupsr mans condition was corrobor
ated br O. K. Holdrldge. a local man
who knew Mr. Spaugh personally
and lived In the same neighborhood
for many years.
Another boy who had never walk
ed was said to have left his chair
and walked during the service last
night. Minor healings of many kinds
were said to have been perrormea.
