" 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.

OLDS ON GRILL
AT NEEDY MEET
COUNTY COURT RECALL AGITA
TOR TURNS RANCHERS
AGAINST PLOT
SPEAKER'S RECORD BROUGHT TO LIGHT
Farmers Ask to Have Names Remov
ed from Petition Efforts of
Aides to Calm Revolt
End in Trouble
Interesting light was thrown upon
the agitation for the recall of the
county court at a meeting held this
week at Needy, in the southwestern
corner of the county, when E. 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.
Some unforseen delay may hold the
completion of the first section of the
line back, but no such blocking of
plans is anticipated. In connection
with the celebration at Beaver Creek,
a big excursion will be run ovr the
line from Oregon City.

MYSTERY IS FEATURE OF CRIME
Two Doors Forced by Thieves in En
tering Building, . 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.

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

right arm mangled and his face ter

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

gave first aid treatment to the two
lads, stanching the flow of blood from
their more .serious wounds, and ac
