A North Shore Runaway ,
From T. II. Gavin, who was over
from Chinook yesterday on business
matters, the Astorian learns of a ser
ious accident that befell a young man
by the name of Bigsby, of that local
ity. Bigsby was driving into Chinook
from his home about a mile north of
the place, yesterday morning, in a
single buggy, and as he came down
the mountain grade that leads into
Fort Columbia, the rivets that held
the shafts of the buggy in place be
came loosened and the shafts went to
the ground, permitting the buggy to
ride up on the horse, which immedi
ately plunged down the grade, and
soon overturned, throwing Bigsby
out . He struck something in the
road with the point of his chin, the
blow breaking both jaws badly.' He
was brought to this city under the
charge of Dr. Jay Tuttle who was at
the post at the time, and taken to
St. Mary's ifospital where Dr. A. A.
Finch gave the suffering man the
