CAR TURKS OVER
DRIVER IS HURT
Last Thursday evening be
tween 7 and 8 o’clock, when
Martin E. Holgate and his broth- •
er Ray, were coming towards Es-
tacada, and were at the curve of
the road, about 200 yards below
the Y^urrinsville store, where
they met a truck approaching
them. They turned out to the
edge o f the grade to avoid it, but
the driver of the truck paid no
attention they said, but kept the
middle of the road. The conse
quence was, that the Holgate car
slipped off the grade and turned
Qver into the ditch, a fall of
about twelve feet. Martin Hol
gate jumped when the car began
to overturn, and escaped with a
few bruises, but his brother Ray,
wTho was driving, had the car fall
on and pin him underneath.
The driver of the truck, whose
name is Loggan, and is hauling
wood for J. E. Myer, of Portland,
paid no attention to the accident
and went right on without stop
ping. Help was summoned and
.Ray was taken out from under
the car and brought to town.
He went into a state c f coma,
which lasted till the following
day. The doctor found that he
had three ribs broken on the
right side and his back injured.
However medical treatment is
putting him to rights. A war
rant was issued, and served Mon
day, for the arrest of the truck
driver, on two counts, that of
not sounding an alarm on reach
ing the curve, and of not keep
ing to the inside of the curve.
W. L. Campbell, the state in
spector of motor vehicular traffic
and also the sheriff, tim e later
to investigate the matter.
Later: The case was tried in
Justice Wooster’s court, yester
day, before a jury consisting of
A. E. Sparks, foreman, J. C.
I)uus, C. Duncan, R. Marchbank,
W. H. Holder and G. R. Craw
ford. The prosecution was con
ducted by E. W. Bartlett and the
defense by Bradley A. Ewers of
Portland. The jury brought in
a verdict for the defendant of
not guilty.
