Appeals to I'll Council to I'ay Her For Injuries In HI reel Mishap. The tiresomeness of the routine pro ceedings at the meetings of the Oregon City council was relieved at Its meeting on the night of the 4th Inst. ' Mrs. Mich ael Davoren provided the diversion. A few weeks ago while driving over the long bridge near Green Point, Mrs. Davo ren collided with a pile of lefuse lumber. Hhe waa thrown from her buggy, which In turn alighted on thn prostrate form of the woman, who was quite severely bruised. In the mix-up Mrs. Davoren claims to have lost a gold watch and chain, valued at $1!K), and a purse con taining $26. Hhe made several attempts to be relmburaed in the amount of money she had hmt and for damages sustained, but receiving no substantial encouragement she resolved to appear before the city council and personally present her claim. This took place on thn night indicated last week. The privilege of addressing the coun cil in her own behall was extended Mrs. Davoren shortly after the council had convened and the woman proceeded to graphically describe the accident and Impress upon the members of the coun cil the seriousness of the consequences that attended it. With elaborate ges ture and In emphatic language and ac cents that left no doubt in the minds of her auditors as to the nativity of her an ceators, Mrs. Davoren related In detail thn events of the night of the accident. She aalil she was driving along the street, "turning nather to the right nor the left," when she suddenly collided with a heap of rubbish and was thrown entirely out of the vehicle, striking her head on the rail of the street railway company's truck, and because of which she entirely lout her "consciousness." To make matters worse, asserted the in jured party, the buggy waa deposited on top of her. After cryin "help" re peatedly, ieople residing in the vicinity of the accident came to her rescue. When asked if she was killed, she re plied affirmatively, and then the kind neighbors removed the dilapidated bug gy. Mrs. Davoren indicated to the council in a vivid manner how, in a crippled condition, she managed to crawl from beneath the debris. Hhe then directed that she tie taken to an Oregon City doctor's ollire. Arrived there she re(iiested that she be taken to a Portland hospital, but instead the phy aician ordered her lo be taken home. An iniiiiisitivn member of the council asked the woman if she waa perfectly eulx-r at the time of tli- accident. "Kaith, and how could I lie drunk, when I w as on my aay from my home to Os wego and had not yet reached Oregon City," was the response. The conclu siveness of this declaration had some weigtit, for after hearing the woman's troubles, the matter was referred to a committee for adjustment. This unexpected number on the even ing's programme having been disposed of. the council setlled down to the dis cussion of routine husiness, to which it is more accustomed. Everything in the millinery line re duced. Mist C. Goldsmith. DiltlNi; DAYLIGHT UOIMtKKY. l uuiahkcd Highwayman Holds Up Mul alia farmer Jiear Oswego. Ijuis Callahan, a farmer residing on Dickey's Prairie, near Molalla, this county, reports that he was Held up anu toblied of $7 by a lone, Hum linked high wayman near Oswego at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. Mr. Callahan claims to have a good description ol the daring rohher and Sheriff Shaver and Chief of Police Burns are doing what they can to apprehend the bandit. Callahan gives the following version of the leportvd hold-up: That he had been lo Portland, where be disposed of a shipment ol hogs that netted him about $75. While returning home and wuhin a mile of Oswego, at a lonely stretch in the road, a stranger stepped from a cl n in i) of bushes and coming alongside Callahan's wagon, hailed the driver, who drew up his horHes and fixed the brake with the other hand. After casually re marking that it had been a long time since he had seen Callahan, the robber seized the farmer by the w rist, at the same time producing a long-bladed knife, and demahded that he surrender bis money. Callahan declared that he had nothing of value with him, but the robber claim ed to know that euch waa not the case, and insisted on a prompt compliance with hie demand. Before Callahan could prevent it he was drawn from the bed of his wagon to the roadside, when the robber made a thrust at the farmer with the knife, the blade falling short of ita mark, hut cut through two heavy ouUr coats. The deBerate highway man threatened to kill his victim if the latter did not give up his money. At this juncture Callahan surrendered the entire receipts of bis hog sale, amount ing to about $75. After getting the money, the nervy bandit disappeared in the brush that bordered the roadside at the place of the robbery. Callahan came at once to this city and reported the rob bery. The reported hold-np is not generally credited by the officers and acquain tances of Callahan, who reside in this city. Some are of the opinion that the farmer was relieved of his money before he left Portland, and that he lias con cocted the hold-up story ae a means of explaining the loss of the money. We show the best line of millinery for the least money. Miss C. Goldsmith. Cause of Delay.
