KM
LAST SUNDAY
Last Sunday exceeded all records
for automobile accidents in this part
of the country. Jt co-Incidence in
connection with the accident. I. the
fact that they all happened on the
Ochoeo Highway.
The accident that caused the most
damage was when Dan Hourigan who
lives at Powell Butte, who was driv
ing towards the Dam, crashed. Into
Jimmle Cram, who was on hi. way
back to town.
Mr. Cram claim, he heard Mr.
Hourlgao coming, and It being in a
narrow part of the road, withdrew to
the side or the road and stopped to
let the car pass.
Mr. Hourigan made the turn ar
onnd the hill too fast and could there
fornot keep close to his side of the
road. On account of Mr. Hourigan's
cer being the larger, and going at
quite a rate of speed, the Cram car
was damaged to a considerable ex
tent. On his way to his ranch, on a bad
stretch of road, George Russell acci
dentally overturned his car, and was
obliged to leave it and return for it
later.
About a mile this side of the Dam
a tire blew out on the car of Mr.
Wolfe, the contractor on the Ochoeo
Highway, and the car was complete
ly turned up-side down. Mr. Wolfe
waa thrown out of the car, and was
unhurt. - t -
Carl Ppjohn, the yoking man who
was In the csr with Mr. WoKe. was
pinned under the car, and tins back
of bis head slightly cut opew where
the top fell on him. He came into
town and Dr. Rosenberg atetnded to
hla Injuries.
The car was soon righted by other
travelc-p on the road.
ThTat Incident, though not real
ly an accident, at first looked as If It
might be serious, and caused quite a
scare. Mrs. T. J. Minger was cros
sing the bridge In the turn near the
dam, which is one of the most dan
gerous spots on the road, and ano
ther car attempted to pass her on the!
inside, almost crowding her off down
the steep, roeUy incline. Only quick
thinking on the part of Mrs. Mineer
saved her car from a seinus accidjgnt.
many visitors go over tnis roaT :n
Sunday who are not used to the dan
gerous parts, and for this reason lo
cal drivers should be unusually core-
rui to avoid accidents.
Dan Hourigan, who ran into the
Cram car. hns beon arrested, and his
trial set for June first. He pleaded
not guilty to the charge against him,
which was reckless driving.
