12 dive bombers and eight Zeros
to protect them. The American
squadron took off in brash con
fidence. They learned a hard les
son. Coahran, a staff sergeant,
got peppered on the first pass. He
I balled out. The other pilots of the
squadron circled his umbrella and
protected him on the way down.
Laird, a sandy haired lieutenant
! from California, shot down a Zero
! while he circled. Coahran, how
: ever, landed behind the' Jap lines.
He never came back."
! That, so far as Mr. and Mrs.
Coahran know, tells the story of
their son's final action in the
Pacific. They are eager to get
extra copies of the magazine
"Flying" containing the account.
The magazine Is dated March,

Rider Badly Hurt
When Horse Falls
Thrown from his horse while
riding late yesterday near Powell
Butte, Harry C. Terwilliger, pro
prietor of the Greenwood Grocery,
and who residesat 235 East Gree
ley street, was seriously injured,
and today was a patient in St.
Charles hospital. Attending physi
cians said that Terwilliger suffer
ed a severe head laceration, dis
located left sholder, fractured left
wrist, and possible internal in
juries. Blood plasma was admini
stered last night.
Terwilliger was riding with N.
R. Gilbert, president of the Rim
Rock riders, of which the victim
is vice president. They were en
gaged In trying to head some wild
horses into a stockade west 'of
Pilot Butte when the accident oc
curred. ,
Horse Returns
Gilbert said that apparently
Terwilliger's mount had stepped
on a round stone In loose -sand,
causing the horse to lurch Terwil
liger against a juniper tree. His
first knowledge that his compan
ion was thrown, Gilbert said, was
when he saw his horse riderless
and on a run. Rushing to the
scene, Gilbert said that he found
Terwilliger lying on the ground,
his head bleeding and with his
shoulder dislocated. He bound the
head wound and replaced the dis
located sholder.
Gilbert then rode five miles to
where he had parked his auto
mobile, returned, and took the
victim to the hospital. .
Hours later Bend police were
notified that there was a horse in
the yard of the H. E. Starke home
at 825 East Twelfth street, .sad
dled and with out a rider. Terwil
liger had kept his horse in, a cor
rel adjacent to the Starke home,
and the animal had returned there
from a distance of about 15
miles.

the Hawaiian islands, noticed

is a new courthouse. ,.
" Lawrence was a student in the
Central grammar school and the
