Sunday morning nt Hllgard, little Leo Ilawes, 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hawes, was In a bjiggy with Frank Sanborn, when the horse became frightened and commenced to kick and run.

The horse broke loose and ran. Stanford was bruised some about the shoulder, but his Injuries, while painful, were not serious. Master Hawes, however, was entangled In the top of the buggy, and It required some effort to extri cate him. After being taken home tho little fellow complained thnt 1.1s side and shoulder hurt him, and at In tervals the pain became so severe that he would scream and have fainting spells.

Passing Through the Willamette Vol ley on Their Way to Portland. Gypsies, to the number of 200 or over, are slowly wending their way northward through the Willamette valley, and are due In Portland in about three weeks, says th Portlaad Telegram. They are encamped today In the vicinity of Albany, where they have halted for the purpose of telling fortunes and trading In horses, and will probably remain In that locality for several days. In the latter part of May they entered the state of Oregon from California, having come north ward. from. Mexico, on their semi annual tour of the coast. It is said they claim to be Mexicans, uui s tii cannot converse In that language their statements are doubted, They are probably a remnant of a race of Gyp sies originating In the south of Europe whose descendants are scattered over the United State In squads, and who retain their own language to the re jection, of English, which they only use .In the stereotyped forms of for tune telling. . They are accompanied by a large contingent of dirty chil dren, who are being raised to follow the : nomadic life of their ancestors, and whom the educational laws of the country fall to protect, as the com munities through which they travell are only too glad to get rid of the transient visitors. 7 TROLLEY W RECK, 150 Lives Endangered to Head-on Collision.".'
