The pole fell across the car, crashing through the roof, and Injuring Motor man McAllister in the back. Three passengers were on the car as well as the conductor, all . of whom escaped without injury. After hitting the pole, the car turned over on its side and broke off a fireplug, letting the water out in torrents.

Leaning out of the window at 133 Twelfth street Friday night at 10 o'clock to get a breath of fresh air, H. B. Mlchell, a middle-aged merchant who formerly lived at The Dalles, Or., lost his balance and fell from the second story to the back yard, where he was found In an unconscious condition. His breath of fresh air - may cost him his life, for he Is seriously Injured, and it is believed that his neck was broken by the fall. The surgeons attending him are uncertain as to his recovery. Mr. Mlchell, accompanied by his wife, was visiting a relative, Miss E. F. Wise man, a dressmaker, who occupies a flat at this address, and prior to a trip to Ocean View, Waeh., was staying in Port land for a few days for the purpose of having his teeth fixed. To steady his nerves for he ordeal which he under-' went at the dentist's yesterday Mr. Mlchell had taken stimulants several times during the day, and last night was feeling Indisposed." At the time of the accident he was lying down in a rear room, while his wife and Miss Wise man were sewing In a front room. Just a few moments before the disaster Mrs. Mlchell had looked Into the room to see If her husband were resting quietly, and then had rejoined Miss Wiseman. Conversation between the two women was suddenly Interrupted by a violent crash from the rear of the house and, rushing into the room occupied by Mr. Mlchell. they found his lounge unoccu pied and the window open. They looked out and saw : him lying on the ground 22 feet ' below. As no one had been near the room,, the only way the accident could' be accounted for was by the supposition that- he had sat on the window-sill to get fresh- air and had lost his balance and fallen. The Red Cross ambulance was sum moned and the injured man, accom panied by his wife, who Insisted on rid ing by his side, was conveyed to St. Vincent's Hospital. The surgeons who examined Mr. Mlchell last night said that he probably would not be able to re cover from his Injuries. . THE DALLES, Or., Oct. 30. (Special.)
