Head-on Collision
Jim M artin and Benjamin Per
kins, were both seriously injured
and th e ir cars were completely de
molished in a head-on collision on
the Pacific highway just west o f
Gold H ill last Thursday.
Wednesday afternoon o f this
week Mr. and Mrs. W ilb u r M artin
reported that Jim had regained
consciousness and was talking al
most norm a lly again. He had been
unconscious and delirious fo r five
days. Tuesday evening his arm
was set and put in braces and 25
stitches had been taken out o f d if
ferent wounds around his face and
arms. His eye is reported to be all
rig h t and he was able to open it
fa r enough to see some w ith it. One
r ide o f his face s till seems to be
p a rtia lly paralyzed but is expected
to im prove rapidly.
Mr. Perkins was taken to P o rt
land w here he has entered the
Veterans hospital fo r fu rth e r treat
ment fo r his arm. It was thought
at firs t that the arm might have to
be amputated but it is believed
now that that w ill not be neces
sary. He has been conscious most
of the time since the wreck. He
was accompanied north by Mrs.
F rank Pinkerton.
The accident occurred at 12:10
Thursday a mile from tow n when
M artin was d rivin g towards Gold
