Two Baker City Men Escape Death la
SUraculous Manner. -
Fred Brown and Ben Huber had a
miraculous escape from death at noon
today when the wagon In which they
were riding -was struck by a freight
engine and completely demolished,
says the Baker Herald. Brown was
badly Injured, being struck in .the
forehead and the lower part of his
back, but Huber escaped with only a
few scratches. One of the horses had a
leg broken and had to be killed, but
the other was bruised a' littie. ."
The accident' occurred about 12
o'clock as the men were driving across
the track at the Dewey avenue cross
ing. Brown, who runs a dairy "was
delivering milk and had an enclosed
wagon with doors on the sides. They
were driving south on Dewey and had
driven onto the track before they knew
any Jraln was near. The engine, which
was running loose without any cars,
was coming toward Baker and was
onto the rig before Engineer Peter
son suspected any danger.
The horses had crossed the track
and the wagon was struck fairly In
the center by the pilot of the engine.
It was carried for a distance of about
20 feet before It was torn complete
ly to pieces and thrown down both
sides of the embankment The front
wheels and top of the wagon went on
the south side of the track while the
rear wheels and part of the body were
thrown on the north side. The two
iiieii were aitto tiirowu iuiu lite uiicu
on the north side, the engine having
struck the wagon just in front of
them. : v , :
Brown was given a severe blow on
the head and appeared dazed and stun
ned when taken to the hospital. , He
appeared to suffer the greatest pain
in his back, which was Injured a cou
ple of days ago In a runaway. Huber
was scratched on the fact but did not
require any ' medical aid or assist
ance. ' X: x ' ' -According
to witnesses who ' were
near the crossing at the time of the
accident the engineer on the train
did not blow the whistle until with
in a few feet of the wagon. .
This crossing is on of the most
dangerous In town and every few days
some person has a narrow escape, ac
cording to people who live near there.
It Is Impossible for ; drivers going
south on Dewey avenue to see an ap
proaching train coming toward Baker
until they are almost onto the track.
The, brewery buildings shut off the.
view to the east until within almost
20 feet of the track and a driver must
be very careful not to get caught
there. ' '
It has only been a little more than
a year since Lee Wallace was killed
at the Fourth street crossing, which
le only a block away. His wagon wns
completely demolished, his team In
jured and his life snuffed out instant
ly. At that time there was consider
able talk about compelling the rail
road to make these crossings' safer,
but nothing was ever done to the mat
ter, except to pass an ordinance which
has never been enforced. The cross
ings are dangerous to pedestrians
and It Is nighttime that something
was done to safeguard the lives of the
people who have to cross the track
at these places. ,
Xonnalltes Hare Spread. -Lewlston,
Dec. 23 (Special) A
luncheon, which was given this week
ly the young women of the rural
school training course, at the Lewlston
State Normal school, would go Tory
far toward disproving the statement
that living is high these days.
The luncheon, which consisted of
Chili Rice. Cabbage Salad with Cream
Dressing, Biscuits, Tea, Cookies and
Apple Sausa, was served at a cost of
10c for each person. .
It Is quite evident that the young
women at the State Normal, who are
taking this course lh Domestic Sci
ence, are learning, not only how to
cook, but how to economize.
Wash That Itch Away.
It is said that there are certain
springs in Europe that give relief and
cure to Eczema and other skin dis
eases. If you knew that by washing
In these waters you could "be reliev
ed from that awful Itch, wouldn't you
make every effort to take a trip to Eu
rope at once? Would you not be will'-!
lng to spend your last cent to find
that cure? , ' ; . . " ' '
" But you need not leave home for
these distant springs. Relief is right
here In your own home town? ,
A simple wash of Oil of Winter
green, Thymol and other ingredients
as compounded only In D. D. D. Pre
scription' will bring instant relief to
that terrible burning itch, and leave
the skin as smootn and healthy as
that of a child.,... . X', ;
it you have not already tried It,
f et at least a 25 cent bottle today. We
assure you of Instant, relief. The
