Alva Smith, had his collar bone broken
and was otherwise bruised and injured
when he was thrown from the horse on
which he was riding the first of the
week. The Smith boy and young Gale
Missler were on tne horse when the
saddle turned, throwing both boys un­
der the animal’s feet. The Missler
boy was hurt somewhat also but not as
seriously as the other lad. Dr. Beau­
champ was called to attend the Smith
boy.
KILLED BY

Wm. Nauman Victim of Accider t-

and Two Children Survive.
Wm. Nauman, who lived with I *
family on the Warren Richardson pboe
about 20 miles from Sta.' ton, in the
Bodeker mountain country, was acci­
dentally shot yesterday about 11 o’clc < k
and died about 2 from his injur: u
According to reports received ht: »,
Nauman was building a porch when he
saw a hawk circling about. He event
into the house and brought out his shot­
gun, which he leaned against a saw
horse. He went on with his work but
evidently he must have jarred the gun,
which was discharged, the load of shot
striking him in the femeral vein and
artery of the left leg, tearing a fright­
ful hole in the upper part of the leg
and lower abdomen.
The man was dead before Dr. Beau­
champ, who had been summoned, could
reach the scene.
A widow and two small children in
destitute circumstances survive.

Every day, a live Commercial organ­
ization becomes a little nearer a reality
for Stayton.
At a meeting of the Ladies Improve­
ment Club held Tuesday afternoon the
matter waa tai.en up and considerable
sentiment in favor of an organization
was developed. The ladle* are willing
to do their share to bring about the or­
ganization of the business interests
once they become satisfiel that the
men mean business and will organize
to stay organized.
On account of the Livestock Show
and races in Portland this week and
the state fair at Salem next week it
was decided not to try to hold the “ get-
together” lunch until after the State
Fair. By that time it ia thought cer­
tain the project will be in favorable
shape for consummation.
At a social session of a number of
progressive local business men held
Saturday evening, a rousing boost
speech was made by F. L. Evans, of
Astoria. He toid the Stayton men
that they are missing some of the best
things that ever happened by not hav­
ing an organization and a place to dis­
play the products of this region. He
proposed tnat a Commercial Club be
formed with the group present as a
nucleus, that a two story building be
erected for Club purposes, the ground
floor to be used as a display room and
the second floor for the meetings of the
club. The proposition was received
with considerable favor and is now be­
ing considered by the business men.
Early developments are expected.
