" SHOCKINGLY INJURED IN RUNAWAY ACCIDENT LITTLE GIRL ESCAPES MIRACULOUSLY Tom Davles Dragged 300 Feet in Ef fort to Stop Plunging Steeds on lYioiana Avenue in -Evening In a disastrous runaway accident on the Beaver Creek-Oregon City road late Tuesday evening Tom Davies, of Beaver Creek was dragged about 300 feet by the maddened horses, Mrs. Cook, his housekeeper, was severly injured and will be confined in the hospital for several weeks; Mrs. Evans, a sister of Mr. Davies was bad ly shaken up and shocked, and Mr. Davies' eight-year-old daughter had a miraculous escape from harm. The accident occurred just at the city limits, and owing to this fact aid was quickly given the unfortunate mem bers of the party. Mr. Davies and his party had stop ped on the road while he left the team in charge of the women and went to a nearby store. One of the horses, but little more than a colt, shook its bridle free, and made a break, frightening the other horse in to a mad race by its side. Davies heard the team starting and rushed out to stop them, but succeeded only in grasping the reins. Unable to stop the horses, he hung on grimly, and was dragged 300 feet before ha was forced to let go. The horses plunged on about a hundred feet fur ther, when the wagon struck a rough place in the road, precipitating the women in the party to the highway. Mrs. Cook was thrown under the ve hicle, and was also struck by the hoofs of one of the horses, it is be lieved. She sustained severe lacera tions of the forehead and scalp, a dangerous cut over the eyes, a dislo cated shoulder and two broken ribs, and was rendered unconscious by the force of the blows rained upon her. She was picked up from the roadway and taken into the home of Council man William Beard, where Dr. Mbunt was summoned to treat her. Her in juries were found to be so severe that the physician took her to the Oregon City hospital, where at a late hour it was said that she was- resting as . comfortably as could be expected, but that she was still in a critical con dition. Mrs. Evans was thrown from the wagon and severely bruised and shocked, but otherwise was unhurt. The little Davies girl escaped from the- accident without a scratch. Mr. Davies was considerably mauled by being dragged by the team along the rough roadway. After the occupants of the vehicle had been thrown out the team on tinued on its mad run until stopped by Henry Hennessy. He climbed on to the driver's seat and started back along the road, looking for the ill fated passengers. Later in the even ing Mr. Davies and his sister and daughter pluckily drove the team to their home at Beaver Creek. Not withstanding the violence of ' the norses, neitlier steeds nor wagon seemed to have suffered in the ac cident.

D. Olds one of the star witnesses of the fam ous "committee of three" report con demning the commissioners became "rattled" by questions shot at him from the audience, and left anything but a desirable impression with those that heard him. In fact, at the close of the meeting, which was called to boost the recall movement, several farmers and others who had signed the recall petition came forward and told Olds that they wanted to with draw their names from the- petition, as they had become satisified that the wnole thing was a mess of politi cal pottage. The fire"works began after Mr. Olds had made his speech, in which he re peated the now time-worn allegations against the county court. When he had concluded somebody in the hall asked if he was not the same . OlJs that had built the Canby bridgs. Olds said he was, and seemed proud of it. "And after you had completed the bridge and got your money, didn't you find it necessary to go back six weeks later and tighten up the bolts, and didn't you charge the county $70 for this work," persisted his inter rogator. ftijr. Olds refused to answer the question. lio you mmK mai is we way to build a bridge, or to charge the coun ty,'' somebody else fired at the speak er. Olds, it is reported, then lost his head, and broke out into a torrent of words, the main purport of which was that those present were not supposed to be trying him, but were to con sider the faults of the county court , Olds was "jollied" pretty generally by the people in the audience, and it was broadly hinted that under the circumstances he was hardly the man to bring charges against the county commissioners. George Oglesby, former road super visor, rose to spread oil upon the troubled waters, and started in finely. "I used to believe that Judge Beatie was an honest man," said Oglesby. He got no further, for somebody rose and shouted: "When did you change your mind, George?" Before Oglesby could answer, an other man in the audience shouted out: "It was justbout the time you weren't reappointed road supervisor that you changed your mind, wasn't it George?" This brought out a burst of laugh ter, and after thac the meeting was anybody's. In the following confus ion one of the recall boosters still fur ther gave away plans by saying that "after the recall the next road super visor in this district is going to be Jim Smith, of Macksburg." Smith has been industriously circulating re call petitions, and it was alleged at the meeting that the agitators for the reca';l had promised to use their in fluence to gain political jobs for ev eryone who would undertake to cir culate a petition. Following the meeting sentiment, was strong against the recall. The charge was openly made that the whole thing was a bit of politics, to gain places for those now not in power; and a number of farmers who had, signed petitions requested that their names be stricken. i'lf you've once signed, you can't get your name off," screamed Olds, in reply to these requests. Ranchers in the Needy district say that if Olds only holds a few more meetings he will kill the recall entire ly. !G DAY PLANNED AT BEAVER CREEK There will be a meeting of citizens of Beaver Creek at that place Wed nesday afternoon, and officials of the Clackamas Southern railroad and the Oregon City Commercial club will be in attendance to discuss plans for a big celebration to mark the comple tion of the local railway to the neigh boring community. Whether this celebration is to be held on July 4, or at an earlier date, will be determined at the meeting. 'Any Oregon City citizens who -desire to attend the meeting and take part in making plans for the event will be welcomed. Excellent progress is being made on track laying on the new road, an-1 it is believed now that rails will be laid into Beaver Creak not later than June 15, and possibly much sooner.

In connection with the celebration at Beaver Creek, a big excursion will be run ovr the line from Oregon City.

But Work Does Not Appear to be "Professional" - Considerable mystery surrounds the robbery of Aden's store at Wil sonville Monday night, when $200 worth of jewelry disappeared from a showcase in the center of the estab lishment. The robbery was reported to Sheriff E. T. Mass Tuesday morn ing, and with deputies he went up to look 1;he ground over. The theft was evidently committed by some person familiar with the in side arrangement of the store, which is a general emporium for the town. Entrance was apparently gained by the forcing of two doors; an outside" sliding door which was lifted from its rollers after the narrow strip of wood on top of the runway had been re moved, and an inner door that was opened by removing the pins from the hinges. This gave access to the main part of the store, and the thief or thieves went directly to the jewel ry showcase and took practically all the better grade of stuff in stock. No traces of marauders were dis covered outside the building, nod did any people living nearby hear such a noise as would be apt to have been made by driving out the hinge pins or prying off the guard over the roll ers of tne outside door. The robbery was committed sometime between ten Sunday night and four o'clock Mon day morning. It is suggested that possibly somebody who went to Wil sonvilla with the crowd of motorboat enthusiasts may have "piped the place off '. Sunday, and then returned later to commit the burglary. Sheriff Mass and his deputies are working on the case. They doubt very much that the crime was com mitted by an experienced burglar, and say that the work bears the ear marks of either an amateur or a hobo. investigation of so-called lobbying ever undertaken by congress. Senator Gallinger at first objectel to the resolution as "absurd." Later he withdrew his objection but on de mand of Senator Owen, the Cummiis resolution finally went over for one day without action.

Gen'l Admission 25c BOYS PLACE DYNAMITE CAPS IN FIRE; ONE SERIOUSLY HURT Roy Marsh was probably fatally in jured, and his brother, Lawrence Marsh, was seriously hourt Tuesday afternoon by the explosion of dyna mite caps in the cook stove at the home of L. H. Marsh, on Washington street, Milwaukie. Both ' lads were rushed to St Vincent's hospital, Port land, for surgical -care, following the accident,, and are reported to be in a precarious condition. The explosion was brought about by the desire of the boys to experi ment with caps, which they procured in the railroad yards. Roy, who is six years old, is reported to have found the dangerous explosives, and with his four-year old brother to have taken them home. There the two little fellows played with tnem for sometime, and finally poked them in the stove to see what would happen. The resulting explosion nearly blew the stove to pieces, set fire to the Marsh home, and blew pieces of the stove lids and grate all over the kitchen. Roy Marsh sustained inter "OLD GRAND TODAY Our Store will be Closed All Day Friday, May 30th in observance of Memorial Day BANNON & CO. ft 1 NAT WEN Sweet Voiced Tenor with f J, - , ' - ' J , l -:- ' , -v- : j V ' - 1 f - - y i ..1 r J". ' H nal injuries, as well as having his right arm mangled and his face ter ribly lacerated. Lawrence, not so near the stove, escaped with lesser injuries, though his body is badly cut and bruised by flying pieces of iron, and burned by coals. Neighbors rushed to the family's assistance, and extinguished the fire in the kitchen before it gained good headway. Dr. Taylor, of Milwaukie, gave first aid treatment to the two lads, stanching the flow of blood from their more .serious wounds, and ac companied the two little fellows to the hospital in the automobile am bulance, which made a record run to and from the scene of the explosion.
