SAW MILL MAN’S HAND RESIDENT OF TURNER IS HORRIBLY MANGLED TAKES CARBOLIC ACID Henry Greca. Fin a cr, Commits Smade In Employe of Lyons Mill Loses Thumb and Little Finger in Cogs pi the Presence oí Fu u ly-M in d W u Deranged Log-had Henry Green, a farmer residing two and one-half miles west of Turner, committed suicide last Friday after noon by drinking the entire contents of a two-ounce bottle of carbolic acid. Several members of the famiiy were with him when the act waa done and Immediately called medical assistance, but Green wns dead before the physi cian arrived. After a thorough inves tigation of the circumstances surround ing the tragedy the coroner decided that it was a plain case of suicide and that an inquest was not necessary. Four years ago Green had a Bcrioua illness which seems to have left him with a mental difficulty, at different timer since his illness he had said that he was going to kill himself. Green had been a resident of the Turner section about six years and waa the owner of a good farm. He was fifty-five years old and leaver a wife and nine children, five boya and four girls, one of whom is Mrs. Roy Mulli- nix of Stayton. Vernon Griddle, an employe at the lumber mill of W. W. Little at Lyons, met with a serious accident Thursday afternoon. Griddle was working at the log-haul, the machine used for draw ing the logs into the mill. In some manner his left hsnd was caught in the cogs of the machine, and horribly mangled. Dr. Beauchamp waa phoned for, and upon dreasing the wound, the physician brought the injured man to Stayton for further treatment. It waa found ncccaaary to amputate the thumb and little finger. The rest of the hand, though frightfully torn, will heal, ns no infection has set in. The bones of every finger, however, were broken, and the mill man will pro bably be laid up for two months with the injury. The injured maw attaches no blame on his employer for the acci dent, aa the machine appears to have been without danger when proper care was used by the operator. SUNDAY SERVICES The subject of the morning sermon at the Christian church will be “ The Fi(ht of Faith." In t h e evening the minister will deliver the first of B iries of sermons on types and anti types, the first subject of the series hei ig, "The Gospel in Type and Anti type.” These subject are among the moat interesting in Bible study. Plan to attend the services and hear these addresses. ICE CREAM STAND J. A. Hendershott last week erected a soft-drink and ice-cream stand under the bleachers st the ball park. T h I innovation proved a regular oaaia of comfort for the half-baked fans w h o filled the seaU last Sunday. Considerable misapprehension is pre valent among owners of stallions and jacks, on the matter of advertising their animals. For the convenience of these men and the public in general we have looked up the Oregon statutes covering this |>oint, and reprint here with two sections hearing on the mat ter. They are taken from Chapter 216, General Laws of Oregon. Section 12. The owner of any stall ion or jack standing for public service in this State shall post and keep affixed during the entire breeding season cop ies of the license certificate of b u c h stallion or jack issued under provisions of this act in a conspicuous place upon the main door leading to every stable or building where said stallion or jack stands for public service (breeding pur poses). Said copies shall have the words "I*ure Bred," "Cross Bred,” "Grade,” or “ Mongrel," printed in bold-faced type not less than one (1) inch in height. Every bill or poster used in advertis ing the said stallion or jack shsil have therein a copy of the license certifi cate with the words "Pure Bred,” "Cross Bred,” "Grade,” or "Mongrel” printed in bold-faced type nut less than one (1) inch in height. Every n e w s p a p e r advertise ment o f s u c h stallion or jack ■hall have therein a copy of the license certificate with the words “ Pure Bred,” "< ross Bred,” "Grade,” or "Mongrel” printed in conspicuous bold-faced type. No bill, (Mister, or other advertisement of such stallion or jack shall contain illustration, pedigrees or other matter that is in any way untruthful or mis leading. Section 27. Any person or persons knowingly or willfully violating any of the provisions of this act, shall be pun ished by a fine of not less than fifty dollars ($50.00) nor more than t w o hundred dollars($200.00), or by impris onment for not less than thirty days or more than six months, or by fine and imprisonment for each offense.

W E L C H I N T E R E S T S TO r BUILD INTO S T A VTON TO ESTAB LISH CAMP A railroad franchise for rights of way on three Stayton streets was granted to J. F. Mounce by the city council at its special session last night. The streets affected are Water, Ida and Marion. In his application for a fran chise, Mr. Mounce agrees to commence actual construction work within ninety days from the granting of the privilege, and as Mayor Beauchamp has already approved the measure, we may exoect to see the dirt fly bstween here and Salem before the middle of August. Mr. Mounce, who has been for some time projecting a line from Stayton to the Capital City, further agrees to complete his road within twenty-four months from date. These provisior s are incorporated in the franchise, and failure to meet them will invalidate the measure. The ordinance granting the franchise will be posted for thirty days, and may be repealed by referendum should the people see fit to do so. There is no possibility of this however, as sentiment here has long been un animous in favor of a road. Street Improvement Amendment An unusual amount of important business came before the council last night. Second only to the granting of the franchise was the decision made to submit to the vote of the people an amendment to the City Charter provid ing for a bonding system for street im provement. Attorney Heltxel has been working on the amendment for some time, and the measure will be present ed to the people in the form as finally approved by the council last night. Monday, June n th ., was set as the time for the election. The amendment will be printed in full in next week's issue of The Mail, so that all may have an opportunity to study its provisions. Another action taken by the council was the transfer of the saloon license of T. B. Riggs to Martin Berg and John Bailey, who have purchased the business from Riggs. J. M.
