CRIMINAL CARELESSNESS APPARENT While Parent Are At Luncheon, Their 8on'i Childish Curiosity Cause Him to Play With Pow erful Explosive. Jack Nxler, the only child of Attor ney and Mr. John W. Loner, was frightfully Injured Saturday afternoon by the explosion of a dynamite cap that the little fellow found on the front porch of the lder residence on Center street. The force of the ex plosion severely lacerated tho right side of -the boy' head and he will probably lose the sight of his right eye and may become disfigured for life a a result of the accident. Center street I being Improved and the workmen have boon using dyna mite In blasting out tho rocks. Since thl work ha been In progres Mr. Iodpr has been very careful and has warned her son more than once not to play In tho street or to go Into al most certain danger. At 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, while Mr. and Mrs. I)dnr were fin ishing their luncheon, the boy Jumped from the table and went out on the wide veranda to play. He picked up tho dynamite cap and with boyish curlofilly took It Into tho basement to Investigate. Mr. and Mrs. Loder heard a hammer pounding, and sud denly the boy uttered a terrible scream and IiIb horror stricken par ent rushed to the scene to find their son In agony, but conscious, and able to tell them where he found the ex plosive. Dr. M. C. Strickland waa hurriedly summoned and the Injured lad waa rushed to a Portland hospital, where his wounds received attention. It Is apparent that some one has been criminally careless In leaving a dynamite cap where It would fall Into unskilled hands. It Is not known how the cap was brought to the porch, un less It had previously been placed there. There Is no susplcon, however, that harm was intended and the un fortunate occurrence is probably due to the carelessness of someone. FARE FROM PORTLAND RAILROAD COMMISSION ORDERS WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY FOR DUNN CASE. The Railroad Commission will have a public hearing In Oregon City Feb ruary 22, unless the date Is changed, to listen to the complaint of M. E.
