Ernest Toddhunter, one of
the men Injured at Freow'ater
yesterday morning, died this
afternoon at 1:20 o'clock at St.
Anthony's hospital.- Douglas
McDonald, his companion, is
much less seriously injured, and
if Is thought he will not suffer-
any permanent ill effects as a
rcslilt of the accident. He is fit
his home, 1100 Itallroad street.
Ills injuries consist chiefly of l.i-
cerations caused by tho barbed
wire, ,
i-- (East Oregonlan Special.) '"
MII.TOtf, 'Auk. -St. EriWt' Todd
hunter of Tacoma received injuries
which are expected to prove fatal, and
Douglas McDonald of Pendleton was
badly hurt here Sunday morning at
F:fi o'clock when a motorcycle driven
by the Pendleton man smashed against
the' Howard house at the corner of
Washington and Main streets In West
Free water. .
To'ddhunter's scalp waff almost com
pletely torn off and he suffered other
injuries. He was unconscious when
reached. McDonald was badly lacerat
ed about the body as a result of hav
ing chnrged through a barbed wire
fence which was in front of the How-!
ard house. .
The accident occurred when tho ma
chine,, which was Pendleton bound, is
reported to have become unmannge
v' e. . There Is an angle in the road at
Hie place of the wreck, and the ma
chine never negotiated this turn. In
stead It held straight on. It struck an
irrigating ditch, flew 30 feet through
the air, taking out n barbed wire
fence, and struck within three feet of
a window, behind which the Misses
Dallas and Emma Howard were In bed
asleep.
The Impact of the collision jarrod
the window frame loose but stopped
the machine, and the two men were
left tangled in the barbed wire. Had
the motorcycle struck three feet fur
ther to the left, it would have gone
through the window and probably
have killed the sleeping women.
Pr.-Thomas of Milton arrived at the
scene of the collision a few minute
later and "rendered first aid. He
recommended that the two men be
taken to Pendleton, which was their
destination. Marshall John Crimmins
of Freewater followed this suggestion
by taking the men down. Toddhunter
being taken to St. Anthony's hospital
and McDonald, to his home.
Both men re about 30 years old.
The machine- waa going SO miles an
hour when it left The road, according
to the speedometer.
