A son was born to Mr. and Mrs.
Mrs. Mike Parsigian at the Eoff hop
,yard, last Friday.
After being separated for 40 years
and virtually losing track of eacti
other, Mrs. George Reuf was very
much surprised last Friday by a visit
from a brother, Tom Garr. Ke came
here from Los Angeles and when he
put in an appearance at the Reuf
home on south Main street, he was not
recognized by his sister, but was later
received with open arms after his
identity had been established.
Virginia was the home of the Garrs

(The car went into the ditch, and
Griffin suffered a fracture at the
ibase of the brain. He was taken to
the Salem hospital where he died a
few hours later. Friesen was taken
;to the Dallas hospital.
j Intoxicating liquor is deemed a.-
! contributing cause to the accident.
After due investigation a coroner's;
jury impanelled by L. R. Chapman,
composed cf E. C. Kirkpatrick, J. R.
Sibley, Tracey Staats, J R. Algood,
O. C. Smith and Walter Wing issued
this significant report:
"Inasmuch as the evidence shows
that intoxicating liquor contributed to
the probable cause of the accident the
jury recommends that the owner of
said automobile, John Friesen, have
his driver's license revoked for a
period of one year from the date of
revocation."
It was brought out at the hearing
that Griffin, Friesen, and another
Dallas young man, Verne Friar, ha
been riding around Dallas in a cat
Sunday evening, and that at about
11 o'clock the trio started for Salem.
Dissatisfied with the manner in which
the car was being handled, Friar gc
out of the machine near Rickreall and
returned to Dallas.
Friar testified that he believed the
two men had been drinking. Friesen
makes the statement that Griffin wa
piloting the car at the time of the
accident, and claims that he turned
the wheel over to him at Brunk's
corner, after repeated requests had
been made by Griffin.
The cause of the accident appears
to be hazy in- Friesen's mind. From
all that can be pieced together, Grif
fin was driving and stepping on her
and was unable to make the turn on
what is known as Hogg hill and the
machine plunged into the ditch, de
molishing the two rear wheels, but
landing upright.
Griffin was 32 years old. He came
to Dallas last September from Blaine,
Wash., and after serving during the
school year as manual training in
structor and athletic director, in the
Dallas high school, had accepted em
ployment for the summer in the
Dallas planing mill, which is owned
by young Friesen's father. He is
survived by a widow living at Belling-.
ham, Wash., and a mother living at
Morton, Wash.
