was driving at a high rate of speed,
buckled, dragging him over thirty
feet along a rough road.
The unfortunate young man was
but riding with A. V. Curl and W.
C. Moore, all on motorcycles, and as
the party neared Canemah, Altnow,
who was in the lead going at about
35 miles per hour, was seen to fall
with his machine when he struck a
rough piece of road. He fell on his
right side, and became entangled
with the machine, breaking the young
man's neck and crushing his skull.
As soon as the other two young men
caught up with the wrecked machine,

the road, and, unable to give assist
ance, rushed to this city, where they
secured the services of Dr. Mount,

STREET CARS TO
CANEMAH STOPPED
COMMISSION CLAIMS NARROW
ROADWAY PROHIBITS CAR
m..
SERVICE ON LINE
An order signed by the public serv
ice commission, handed down late
Tuesday evening, orders the discon
tinuance of street cars running be
tween this city and Canemah. The
order is based upon the protest of
citizens of Oregon City, who, in a
petition presented to the commission,
protested against passenger cars
running on the line between the two
places owing to the congested and
narrow roadway of the Pacific high
way. . The petition claims that the
street cars Operating on this stretch
of line, makes it dangerous for ve
hicle traffic over the highway at this
point.
The order signed by the commis
sion will stop street cars on the line
to Canemah until the Pacific highway
at that point is relocated. It is
rumored that the highway commis
sion will relocate the road as soon as
the chief engineer surveys a new
route. '

CONDUCTOR FAILS TO GET
SATISFACTION FROM CROWD
A conductor on the 8 o'clock car
out of Oregon City last Saturday
evening, caused ' considerable excite
ment when he stopped the car and
yelled for the chief of police. When
Night Officer Surfus arrived upon the
scene, the conductor asked for the
arrest of five young men who were
riding on the back car, claiming that
they had broken a window in the
car. The entire party got off the
car, including the conductor, and Up
on investigation by the officer, it was
found that no blame could be attach
ed to any one of the five young men,
as no witness had seen the window
broken, and the conductor was in
doubt as to which one was respons
ible. The car left for Portland, min
us a conductor. It is thought by the
officials here that the window, which
was raised, fell and broke.
