RECEIVES TERRIBLE INJURY
George McDowell Is Paralyzed By
Falling From High Platform
of Hop Drier.
PLAN FOR ENTERTAINMENT
George McDowell fell from the plat
form of the Link hopdrler nearPedee,
Tuesday evening, receiving injuries
which are exceedingly severe and,
It is feared, may prove fatal.
Mr. McDowell was' busy laying a
new kiln of hops. It was late in the
evening and the Inside of the building
was so dark that he was obliged to
work by the light of a lantern which
his wife was holding for him. He
had stepped out onto tbe platform out
side tbe kiln room to bring in another
sack of hops, and it is supposed that
he stepped off of the platform in the
darkness, although no one saw him
fall.
His wife waited several minutes in
side the building and then .becoming
uneasy about bis continued absence
went out with the lantern to find out
what was delaying him. When she
found him he was lying unconscious
on tbe ground IS feet below.
Help was summoned at once, the
sufferer was borne to a place of shel
ter and a message was sent to Dallas
for a physician. Drs. Bollman and
Starbuck left at once and upon arriv
ing a hasty examination showed that
his back and shoulders had been ter
ribly bruised by the force of the fall
and his backbone had apparently been
broken, although tbe bruised condi
tion of tbe flesh made it difficult to
ascertain with certainty tbe full
extent of the injury.
The invalid is completely paralyzed
from the waist down, having neither
sensation nor the power of motion in
his lower limbs. He is receiving the
best possible attention, however, and
every effort is being used to bring
about an ultimate recovery If possible.
Sewer Work Progresses Rapidly.
The sewer work on Washington and
Oak street where the city Is to lay
macadam pavement will be completed
this week, after which Venske & Tay
lor, the contractors on the sewer job,
will take their crew down to tbe outlet
of the proposed new Bystem and rush
the work of construction system
atically up from that point, through
the various streets of the city to be
embraced by the new series of mains.
The travel between Dallas and
Salem during the past week has been
so heavy that it was found necessary
to put an extra hack on the stage run
Eugene Byerley has also been making
tbe run with his auto having as many
passengers as he could carry every
trip.

New England Dinner and Concert Will
Be Given For Benefit of
Library.
For several months past, the Dallas
Free Library has received no aid from
the city and has been obliged to bor
row money to pay Its bare running
expenses. Last month the most ollne
subscriptions for periodicals expired
and it has been impossible for some
time to purchase any new books.
Things have at last come to a crisis
where one of two things must be done :
Either the balance of the one-half
mill tax money appropriated for
library purposes last December, must
be paid by the city council and the
library work in this way continued,
or the institution will very shortly be
compelled to close its doors.
During tbe first year and a half the
library work was carried on entirely
by a number of unselfish women who
gave their time to it, but now the work
has grown to such proportions that
this method is no longer practicable
or possible.
In order to wipe out tbe steadily
accumulating debt and to celebrate
the third anniversary of tbe founding
of the Dallas Free Library, in a fitting
manner, the management Is planning
a big entertainment for the evening
of October a.
From 6 :30 to 8 o'clock p. m., a
splendid New England dinner will be
served In the armory, followed at 8 :30
o'clock by a concert in the main hall
of the Woodman buildiug. Profiting
by tbe many unfortunate features of
the dinner served a year ago, the
management has eogaged the entire
lower floor of the Woodman Hall,
fully capable of seating 200 persons at
once. In this way, the annoyance of
crowding and waiting will be obviated.
The supply of food will be more than
doubled, for fully as large.a crowd Is
expected to attend as last year. Tbe
menu and the personnel of the com
m it tees having the affair in charge
will be made public next week.
The concert will be made up of both
local and Portland talent. Tbe two
beautiful pianos that will be used In
this portion of the entertainment have
been secured through tbe courtesy of
the Wiley B. Allen Company, of Port
land. Mr. Gormley, their local repre
sentative, will have charge of the
preparation of the musical program,
and the patrons of the entertainment
may be assured of a most enjoyable
performance. The program In full
will be prepared and made public
within a few days.
Child Severely Injured.
The 6-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. W. 8. TJraphlett, residing near
Perrydale, was quite seriously
Injured-Wednesday afternoon by fall
ing from a tree whilo playing with
several otber children. In attempting
step from one limb of the tree to
another she missed her footing and
fell a distance of about 13 feet land
ing Baton her back. She was knocked
senseless and badly bruised about the
back and shoulders, but it is hoped
that with careful medioal attention
she will soon be fully recovered.
NEWS AGENT IS FINED
Sale of Indecent Literature on Train
Cost G. G. Morris Round Sum
of $150. -
The hearing of G. G. MorriC a news
agent on the West Side line between
Portland and Corvallis, who was
accused of selling literature that
openly outrages publlo decency, was
held before Justlosof the Peace Hardy
Holrnan yesterday morning. At the
request of tbe prosecuting attorney
the complaint was moderated from

ature that outrages public decency, a
crime punishable by fine or imprison
ment. Morris pleaded guilty and a
fine of $150 was Imposed.
The arrest of Morris was effected In
Portland, Tuesday, by Mrs. Lola Bald
win, a detective of the women' police
auxiliary, who witnessed the sale of

ing, where be took charge of tbe pris
oner and returned with him to Dallas.
