Mrs. AntoneVey and Charles
McMillan Victims of Alta
Street Crash.
GIRL DRIVER CONFUSED
Force of ImiMct Sends Two Men
Hurting to Street, Rupturing Lung
of One und Solids Indy's Teeth
Through Her Lip.
In the first Berlous auto collision
in Pendleton since the adoption of
gasoline locomotion, the auto ' truck
belonging to the Pendleton Auto com
pany was partially demolished, the
big six-cylinder touring car of Antone
Vey was badly damaged, Charles Mc
Millan, occupant of the truck was in
jured internally, Mrs. Vey sustained a
severe cut on one of her lips, while
Miss Mamie Vey, driver of the car,
and Harvey Withers, driver of the
truck, escapqd, oddly enough, with
only a severe Jolting and a few minor
bruises.
The accident occurred about :30
yesterday afternoon on West Alta
street when the two machines, one
traveling east on Alta and the other
north on Ann, met at the Intersection.
Neither driver saw the other car un
til too late to avert the collision.
The two men in the truck were re
turning from a trip to the depot and
upon nearlng the corner of Alta and
Ann, which is mado blind by the Crab
Creek Lumber company's office, they
sounded their horn, according to wit
nesses of the accident. Miss Vey ev
idently heard the warning, they say,
b'it ni her preseneo of mind and was
unable to stop her car which was
traveling at a fairly high rato of
speed. The two machines collided In
the midd'e of the intersecting square,
the touring car striking the truck
broadside. The Impact was so great
that the two men in the truck" were
hurled from their scats to the ground.
McMillan striking with such force
that the lining to one of his lungs was
ruptured.
The two .wheels on the off side of
the truck crumpled in under the car
while the bed was badly splintered.
The machinery of the engine was al
10 wrecked and altogether the vehicle
suffered badly.
Tho collision" threw Mrs. Vey for
ward In the car with such force that
her teeth were forced through one of
he Urs. making a wound which re
quired several stitches for closing. The
big touring car, thoughput out of
commission temporarily, did not suf
fer to tho extent of the other ma
chine. Tho two lamps, the glass
front, tho hood and the guards were
all damaged more or less but the cost
of repairs, compared with that neces
sary for restoring the truck to its for
mer state, will bo nominal.
Immediately after the collision.
call was pent in to Dr. C. J. Smith,
who rushed to the scene in his auto
and administered to the Injured
Young McMillan Is much Improved
today although he Is still suffering
from his injury.
A large crowd gathered at the scene
of tho accident within a few minutes
after it had occurred -and there was
considerable excitement pervalllng for
thp time being. This is the second
nutomobllo accident within the last
ten days, and criticism of tho speed
with which most curs are driven
through the streets, Is becoming gen
oral. An accident very similar to the
one which occurred yesterday after
noon was only averted hardly an hou
afterwards by the skill with which the
divers handled their cars.
CLUB 5 WILL MEET
HIGH SCHOOL TONIGHT
Tonight .lovers of basketball will
have nn opportunity to see one of
the final If not tho last game of the
season when tho Commercial club
team and the high school quintet
mix In their contest for supremacy,
Should the academy tossers emerge
with the long end of the score, th
hopes of the business men to land
tho city championship will be foreve
lost, whilo should the latter win, an
other and deciding game will prob
ably bo arranged.
It will be remembered, that these
two aggregations met In battle royal
a couplo of weeks ago, the scholastics
winning by a score of 61 to 32 but
since then the Commercial men have
been strengthening ihelr weak points
and developing speed and endurance,
so that tho fray tonight promises to
be more closely fought. The two
teams will lino up as before, but the
Commercial men will probably put
fresh men In from time to time.
Tho first whistle Is scheduled to be
blown at 8 o'clock and the place of
battle will bo the Commercial gym.

reports which reached the city from
the .west stating that the city will be
attacked within a few hours by a
force of federal troops who are en

SMALL LAD TELLS
A PITIFUL STORY
rarentS Uie, I Win biSter
Finds Home While He
Wanders
It's a cold, hard world
for little
Clayton Fitz Gerald, a
fatherless.
motherless boy who was picked up
this morning on the streets by Chief
Police John Kearney soon after
e had slid out of a box car in which
e had traveled from Baker to this
Ity. Too small to a man's work,
evold of re'.utives who care for him,
enniless and friendless, he was cast
adrift, as he claims, upon a stormy
sea two weeks ago when his mother
led and since that time has been
miffeted cruelly about until by good
fortune he encountered the local of
ficers who have arranged to provide
or him a home with tho Boys and
Girls' Aid Society of Portland.
The little fellow, who says he is
14 years of age but who looks hardly
more than 9, tolls a pathetic story,
Ills father died nine years ago, he
iys, and two weeks ago his mother
gave up the Btern battle which she
had been fighting since deprived of
her husband. Ills win sister was ta-
ken to La Grande where she is work-
Ing for her board In a family resl-
deuce, and with nobody to give him
home, he has been forced to re'y i
upon his own feeble efforts and the
harlty of an Indifferent public In or-
dor to live. Finally he decided to
leave Baker, the scene of his miseries,
and last night hid in a box car of
a westbound freight train, thus find-
ing his way to this city..
After being discovered by Chief
Kearney, he was turned over to John
Hailey, Jr., Juvenile officer, and to-
morrow will bo placed under the care
of the Boys and Girls' Aid society,
who happens to bo working In Uma
tilla county at the present time.
GARBAGE DUMPERS
MUST OBEY THE LAW
Complaints are being mado by res-
Idents of the eastern part of the city
regarding the dumping of garbage
ilong the road leading out of the
Franklin street gulch. It Is said that
within the past week garbage has
been dumped along that thorough-
faro and that the act is in clear vlo-
lotion of the city ordinanco upon the
subject. The ordinance provides a
scvere penalty for dumping garbage
anywhere within the city limits aside
from the city dumping grounds be-
low tho city.
It sCems evident that In the Frank-
lin street case the parties at fault
acted under tho impression they were
outsido the city limits and so had
the prlvilego of dumping garbage
there if they so desired. They were
within the city limits however nnd
even had they been beyond the limits
they would still be subject to punish
ment under the state law.
Countv Judgo..J. W. Maloncy de-
clurcs that under the stato law It Is
an offense to dum garbage any-
where near a county road and that
wherever cases of this sort are
called to the attention of tho county
court action will be taken. A com
plaint of this sort mints In from the
s
dams country hut a few days s
and when the offending party
called to account removed the gar
bage.

Protection While Hotted Headless

Puking. China, March 12. Haunt
ed continualy by the belief that he Is
marked for assassination by enemies.
President Yuan of the new Chinese
republic, is now an unhappy prison
er in his own palucn and is closely
guarded by three regiments of Man
ciiu troops. He does not dare en
trust himself with a guard of repub
lican troops, as the suspicion that he
anticipates establishing himself as
emperor of China, has created a bit
j ter feeling among the victors of the
I recent revolution.
Foreigners residing In Peking an
ticipate a resumption of the slaught
er and looting of a short time ago and
in order to protect themselves
against the mobs, Americans and
other foreign citizens have mounted
rapid fire guns in the foreign quarter
and will give battle if they are made
the object of attack in the expected
disorders.
Hundreds of headless corpses, vic
tims of President Yuan's recent or
ders for the decapitation of suspected
mutineers, are strewn about the city
and the stench from these Is becom
ing unbearable. An epidemic, caus
ed by the rotted human flesh is look
ed upon as certain to come.
BUTTER CREEK IS
FREE FROM TANGLE
L. D. Rowland, special water mast
er appointed by the state for Umatilla
county. Is at present engaged in the
long and exhaustive task of dividing
the waters of Butter creek according
to the terms of a decree issued by the
state board of control on January 22.
He has been thus employed for sever
al weeks and estimates that it will
require until the first of May to com
pote the task.
Through the efforts of a few of
the influential settlers along Butter
creek, this stream wag released from
the entanglement into which it along
with all other tributaries of the Uma
tilla became involved when the gov
ernment filed its adjudication suits.
Inasmuch as all of the water of this
creek is used before it has a chance
to enter into the river, the govern
ment was induced to dismiss the suits,
thus hastening the final division of
the waters by a year or so.
According to Mr. Howland, the
land along Butter creek is of such a
nature that with one Irrigation it will
produce three big crops of hay while
with no irrigation It fails to produce
one crop.
