HUB CATCHES ON THE RAIL
Boyd and Companion Fall With
Truck Over 12 Feet
James Boyd, driving, and his
companion, Floyd Stovall, had a
narrow escape from death last
Friday afternoon w hen tin; auto
truck, going south on the long
trestle south of the condenser,
was precipitated off the bridge,
falling a gootl 12 feet. The auto
truck was lodged against a pott
and miraculously . both men's
lives were spared. Boyd suffered
some severe cuts on the. face and
a dislocated shoulder, while Stov
all, outside of a general shaking
tip, came out free of broken bones
or scratches.
Boyd was driving- along at a
slow gait, when the hub of the
machine caught on the bridge
raiiing, pulling the huge machine
into the fence. It crashed thro
the railing and turned twice over
before it hit terra firma.
The two men Wert: working for
Boyd's brother, F.arl Boyd, who is
running a logging camp south of
the river. The injured driver was
brot to Dr. F. H. Smith, who fixed
him up anil sent him to his home
in Portland.
Tuesday morning Chester
Stewart's truck was struck by an
Overland on the same bridge
and strange enough, the truck
was put out of business, while the
Overland was able to go on its
way chiigiring as tlio nothing had
happened.

GREEK KILLED
James Stekas, a Greek, working
on a logging road near West Tim
ber, was instantly killed Monday
morning, just after the steam
shovel started to work on a new
stretch of railway being built for
logging purposes.' Stekas was
down in the pit, and the engineer
had stopped the engine. The
ratchet slipped, letting the shovel,
or scoop, down about a foot, with
quick jerk, striking Stekas on
the head, fracturing his skull, and
rendering him unconscious, never
recovering. Stekas was aged
about 48 years, and his remains
were shipped to the Greek colony
at Portland. Coroner Limber
went up to investigate and held
an inquest, the jurors bringing in
a verdict exculpating anyone
from blame, nominating the death
as purely accidental. The engi
neer stated that he did not know
that Stekas was under the shovel,
or anywhere near it, when it
slipped and descended the foot.
