EXPER
ABSENT
VALUABLE TRACTS TO
HAVE NEW OWNERS
Over $29,155 In real nutate values
changed hands when the transfers
were filed In the county recorder's of
fice Thursday. The records of the old
and new owners are now part of the
county files, showing the transfer of
the title of several pieces of vuluabh
real estate.
The changes, however, fall to show
the total va'un of tin land t out bus
changed hands because several of the
deeds record only the payment of one
dollar a the consideration. It la cer
tain, however, that Ibe owners recelv.
ed In most Instauces much more than
that for their holdings and that, for
some private reason, the actual mon.-y
consideration whs small.
If the laws of the state required a
complete statement of the prices for
which the land was sold. It la prob
able that Thursday's business In the
recorder' otflco would have run Into
many thousands of dollars more than
the file now show.

ing to Canby. On hi way, he stopped
at the home of his uncle E. V. Veteto

ing his way to Oregon City and would

IAGE
TO
PORTI4AND, Ore.. Aug. 21. The
story of the marriage of Miss Mary
A. Hurke to Augustus H. F. Orr, 15
years ber Junior, at Oregon City De
cember 11. 1911, and the subsequent
death of the former in thla city July
12. 1912, has a sequel In the filing of
a suit by Mrs. Margaret Ilumnson of
Spokane, Wash., a sister of Mrs. Orr,
fn the circuit court of Mhiltnomah
county, praying that the marriage of
Mr. and Mrs. Hurke-Orr be declared
null and void and that the estate of
Mrs. Hurke-Orr. estimated to be worth
$85,000. be given to her as the only
living direct heir.
Miss Mary A Hurke was a well
known resident of Portland and lived
with her brother, Henry Hurk, for
many years at the corner of Salmon
street and Hroadway. Her marriage
to Orr was a subject of much gossip, j
as was tho marriage of her brother.
H ?nry. to Miss Hertha Palzer a short
time afterward.
In her complaint Mrs. Humason al
leges that Orr caused her sister's
death prematurely by inducing her to
use Intoxicating liquors and dnigs.
The divorce of Orr from a former
wife that paved the way for his mar
riage with Miss Hurlte Is alleged to be
absolutely void and of no effect for the
reason that th? circuit court of Clack
amnms county. In which it was obtain
ed, had no jurisdiction because Han
nah M. Orr the former wife, had not
for more than one year prior to filing
suit been a resident of Oregon. It Is
further alleged that the divorce was
not asked for by Hannah M. Orr In
good faith, but In collusion with Orr.
and that It was understood and agreed
between them that Orr would after the
divorce Intermarry with Mnry A.
Hurke and npon her death remarry
Hannah M. Orr.

an order Issued by the county court at
a special meeting Saturday The court
decided that the bridge waa in such
a condition as to necessitate immedi
ate repair and tbat it would place

perlntendment
The bridge hat needed repair work
for sometime, it is said, and was Sat
urday closed on an order from the
court until the work could be complet
ed The county official believe that
it will take several dayt to place It
In condition for traffic and that it
will not be safe to use It until that
time.
The cost of the work will reach
about $1600. The court feels that It
has the right to authorize this repair
work and to place an agent of Its own
in charge because of the immediate
necessity for the work. j
MASHER MINISTER
IS CONVICTED
FOUR TONS OF ROCK PILE UPON
THE VICTIMS OF PRE
MATURE BLAST.
Twenty-five sticks of dynamite,
tamped by a heavy crow-bar after they
were supposed to have fired, exploded
blew three men high Into the air. In
jured them, and possibly crushed ouo
of them fatally here Tuisday.
With an arm and a leg broken, his
head badly crushed, and internal In
juries the extent of which cannot be
definitely told a yet, W. C. Rainey
waa carried to tbe Oregon City hos
pital after the explosion and lay there
Tuesday night In a critical condition.
Though the doctors believe that hi
will recover, bis Injuries are Internal
and serious, and, but for tbe fact that
be rested quietly through the night,
'the chances for his recovery .8rt
slight.
Move Big Rock
When the men at work on tbe rock
crusher at First and Center streets
picked him up. they bad to move a
rock that bad an estimated weight of
four tons. Part of that gigantic bould
er waa retting on the body of the un
conscious victim before he was found.
It bad broken hi bones and crushed
his skull. The force of tbe explosion
bad blown him a distance of probably
15 feet and piled the vast amount of
rock on top of bim.
When the other men at the plant of
the rock-crusher bad picked him up,
he was unconscious and remained in
that condtion for several hours. He
was taken to the hospital where Dr.
Hugh Mount set the broken bones and
g.-.ve him proper medical attention.
Rainey is about 48 years of age and
has a wife and several children.
Other Men Hurt
Harry Cowden, 23 years of age, and
Matt Pollner, 3o years were blown by
the force of the same explosion for a
distance of 30 feet and dumped into a
pi'e of rock and dirt that had been
raised by the firing of the giant
sticks. Tin dirt was blown by the
force of the blast into th9 flesh and
the men were badly burned about the
arms, face and neck, aLhough their
other Injuries were slight.
The men had been at work on the
rock-crusher through tbe day and had
set the 25 dynamite sticks for an ev
plosion about 4 o'clock Tuesday af
ternoon. For some reason, the blast did not
fire. The men believed that they
would have to reset the charge and
fire It again In order to blow out the
side of the bill where the work was
being ddi;e. They picked up their
heavy crow bars and began the work
of tamping around tbe sticks and tot
ting for the second charge.
-We have struck 'something soft,"
said one of the workers as his bar
sett'ed Into the dynamite charge.
Rock Fragment Fly
Nn nnnner were the words out of his
! mouth, than the blast, with a roar
that could be heard all over the city
and that shook the windows of the
houses close to the crusher, fired and
the men were blown through the air
and landed on piles of rock and debris
scattered over the place.
Fragments of broken rock, giant
boulders that weighed several hundred
pounds, and tons of dirt were blown
into the air at the time and a gigan
tic crevasse torn in the ground where
the work was In progress. What the
fuse had tailed to do, the stroke of
the heavy crowbar as It hit tho
charge of dynamite In the hole had ac
complished. Though all three of the men were
badly injured, the condition of two of
them was not such that had to be tak
en to their homes In an ambulance. Af
ter Dr. Guy Mount had dressed their
wounds and had them comfortably
wrapped in dandages, they made their
way -home with the assistance of a
few friends, but were able to walk the
entire distance themselves.
Because the charge had not explod
ed when the men thought that It
should have done so, they began pre
paring to reload the hole with another
blast. This is given as tbe cause for
the accident The minute that the
heavy crow-bars struck the dynamite.
It fired and the men were blown
across the place, the rocks loosened,
and the clouds of dirt raised.
INJURED MAN AT HOME
W. C. Rainey, who was Injured when
the dynamite charge was fired at the
rock-crusher Tuesday, waa taken from
the Oregon City hospital Wednesday
'to his home. His condition Is much
Improved.
