OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1905 v ESCAPE FROM AWFUL DEATH Party of Carus Hop Pickers Run Down by Train. MAN IS NEARLY KILLED Only the Fact That Train Was Running at Slow Speed Saved Lives of Three. Probably the narrowest escape from aeatn ever recoraoci m tins city oc carrea lit i) :4a o cIock Saturday morn ing on the tracks of the" Southern Faoino Company, Sat the "entrance to the cut at the foot of 'Singer hill and in the roar of the residence if George A. Harding. It is nothing short of miraculous that Humphrey Jones, miss K.atie Jones and Miss Edna Insl werepot ground to pieces under the wheels of the engino of the north bound overland train. The party left their homes in Carus at daybreak, bound for the hop fluids via Oregon City. When they had nearly reached the foot of Siuger hill, mey oosarvea cue train, ana even though Miss .Tones tried to grasp the lines rrotn Mr. .lones' hands, her effort was futile. They reached the crossing just as the engine arrived there, and the wagon was struck by tne pilot. The only thing that saved the lives of the members of the party was tne raot that the Strain was raov mg very siowiy, ana tne engineer brought it to a complote stop in a distance of less than 50 feet. The wagon was jammed against an embankment, both girls were thrown to"the roadside, and Humphrey Jones was pinioned under the demolished wagon One horse tore himself loose just as the engine struck, and went cantering down th track, but the other animal was ndt so fortunite and was struck down by the train and had to be shot. Jones' prostrate form was extrioated from the wreck and carried to a grassy spot nearby, while medical aid was hastily summoned. Aside from the shock to a man of his advanced age, he is seriously injured. Miss Jones has a broken log and Miss Irish es caped with a few bruises. No blame can be attached to the trainmen for the acoideut, as they were running at a very slow rate of speed. Hump' roy Jones is in a oritical condition at the home of his nephew, W. J. Wilson, in this oity, and his ultimate recovery is entirely proble matical. His daughter, Miss Katie Jones, and Miss Edna Irish, who were A in the wagon at the time of the ac cident, are on the road to recovery. St. Paul's Church. At St. Paul's Church, Rector, the Rev. P. K.
