Woods accidents accounted for
serious injuries to three Washing
ton county mill and logging camp
workers this week. The last two
mishaps were strangely parallel,
having occurred in camps about
one mile apart within a few hours
of each other The victims, both of
whom were brought to the Jones
hospital Monday are aged 19 and
20 and both are residents of Cor
nelius route 1.
They are Melvin Erdman. 19. who
suffered serious cuts and abrasions
on his face when the top of a fall ,
ing tree struck him and threw him
into another tree, and Eddie Wil
kinson. 20. who sustained a frac
tured leg when a pcavy broke and
cast him to the ground.
Erdman was employed by the
Alder Creek Timber company in
holdings two miles above Dixon's
mill and Wilkinson on the Carl
Lets operations about three miles
above Dixons mill. A previous
woods accident had taken three
fingers and an eye from Erdman.
The third accident victim is
Oliver Westcott of Hillsboro, who
fractured two ribs in a fall at the
Murphy mill north of Mountain-
dale. He was brought to his home
here and at last reports was rest
ing
comfortably.
Pat
Murphy,
operator of the mill, was taken to
a Portland hospital last week with
injuries suffered in a fall.
