With one dead heat, a second one that was nose and nose and by many spectators thought to be a dead heat and a third almost equally contest- i cu iu iuu ii.iu-iune run yesteraay ai- 1 ternoon the 2'000 r more people witnessing the card at the Second Southern Oregon District Fair were given an exhibition of horse racing rarely seen. It was a fight between Herron's Creaserton and Heavner's The Counsellor with a victory for the latter. It was a breath taking event and each heat was marked by the keenest attent,on that was Probably I ever Slven by a crowd to any 'event. Not a sound was audible for the fifty-odd seconds taken by each heat but the pent up enthusiasm found expression as the horses pass ed under the wire each time, the cheering almost raising the roof of the grandstand. Llda A was to have" started in the heat but didn't- get off on the start and Baby Reed was distanced on J the first heat. HeaVnor rode his own horse and Bobble Wilson was up ' on Creaserton and probably got all that was in Creaserton out of him. It was a race for blood from start to finish. In race No. 12, a rather bad start detracted from the interest in it, but j it was fairly well run. In the har dness event, WahKe had a compara tively easy victory over Tyler B. An amusing race of the afternoon, one that created much merriment j among the crowd was the donkey race. Dewey Stutsman got off in the lead and the other donkeys, accord- 1 ing to the time-honored custom I among donkeys, absolutely refused 1 to bo pushed ahead of him. Try as 1 he would, Albert Powers couldn't j make his "Maud" continue after I some of the exuberant ones ran out on the track. Friday's Race Results.

Wade and Mary Grills- Injured In Automobile Accident. Mrs. Wm. Wade and her sister, Miss Mary Grills were slightly but not seriously injured late yesterday afternoon when Mrs. Wade ran their automobile off an eight-foot elevated plank roadway rather than run over a couple of children who were play ing In the street. The automobile was considerably damaged. A peculiar feature of the accident was that it occurred In front of the home of Mrs. Wade and her mother, Mrs. Dr. Murphy, at Washington and Sheridan streets, the auto dropping from the elevated roadway into the front yard of their residence. Mrs. Wade and Miss Grills were driving the machine to the fair grounds late in the afternoon and were making the turn from Washing ton down Sheridan when two little children darted out into the roadway. They were going at a pretty fair speed and It was a question of endan gering the children or running the risk of. going over the elevated road way. Mrs. Wade did not hesitate and as a result went over. The ma-, chine, landed right side up but both occupants were considerably shaken up or bruised. 1 Two women, whose identity could not be ascertained almost collided with the auto just as it went over the roadway and one either fell or was knocked down and slightly hurt.

Iff COLLAPSE OF Section of Grandstand Collaps ed During Friday After noon's Racing. During the races at the fair grounds late yesterday afternoon, the lower half of one section of the old part of the grandstand collapsed, precipitating between fifty and one hundred people to the ground in a struggling mass of humanity. By rare presence of mind, a panic was prevented and, no one was critically hurt although a score or more were more or less seriously Injured. Mrs. Dalley, nee Parrott of Roseburg, was the most seriously hurt probably, her injuries consisting of bad bruises and a flesh wound In the arm. The collapse was due to the over loading of the old timber of which the grandstand was built. The joists and stringers, partly decayed, either broke or allowed the spikes to draw away. Luckily both ends of the sec tion gave away about the same in stant, allowing all to fall direct to the ground instead of throwing part of the crowd on top of others. In Midst of Race. One of the most interesting hertts of the afternoon's card was in pro gress at the time or the prevention of a panic might have been impos sible. The dangers from the collapse were not one In a hundred to what they would have been from a panic in the grandstand in which nearly 2,000 men, women and children were gath ered. The outcome of the accident was mighty lucky and while bruises and slight cuts will cause many to remem ber for some days to come, that there was no loss of life" or broken limbs was almost miraculous. The officers of the fair association state that they had the old grand stand carefully inspected prior to the fair and had part of It rebuilt and overhauled to guard against a possible accident like yesterday's but not one of the inspectors expressed the slightest doubt concerning the strength of the portion that gavo away.
