seriously the project of securing

Independence Car at High Speed
Leaves Road and Dashes
Into Farm .
Fred Hooper, of Independ­
ence, was thrown from the car
of Dr. Young, also of Independ­
ence, on the Corvallis road near
Granger Sunday afternoon and
his leg was broken in two places
below the knee, as the car
plunged through a fence at the
side of the road after the driver,
Dr. Young, had lost control of it.
The car was badly smashed.
No one else was injured of the
five men in the car.
The party were coming from
Corvallis and, it is said, were
making high speed along the
smooth road by the farn/of
John Kiger.
They swerved
from the road to pass a rig, and
as the big car turned back Dr.
Young in some manner lost con­
trol of the steering geer and the
car plunged up a bank and
through a fence. It went sev­
eral feet into the garden and
dragged down a long strip of
fence. Hooper was thrown out
as the car struck the fence. The
others managed to remain in
the car.
Another Independence auto­
mobile containing E. Young and
wife, came along in a few mo­
ments and the Injured man was
placed in it and taken home.
He will recover, although the
breaks are very painful. The
auto was taken to Independence
this morning.— Albany Herald.
