Dunn and other filed suit asking the circuit court to cancel the order for increasing the telephone rates That the wreck Wednesday of the i Grants Pass and Medford auto bus two miles south of here was due to careless driving at a rate of speed un lawful in the state, was a verdict re turned by the coroner's jury, at aa inquest held at 2 o'clock yesterday in the court room of the Josephine | county courthouse • L. B. Hall was deputised by the coroner. Dr. 3. Loughridge. to head the inquest. Conflicting testimony was Introduced, witnesses swearing to rate« of speed of from 35 to 45 miles per hour. The driver, who was not called for testimony, had stated earlier that the car was making 27 | miles an hour when the cow was I sighted. Previous to the hearing, a wnr- rant had been sworn out for the ar- rest of the driver. Cecil Jennings, of Medford, and his bonds fixed at 1250. The matter has been bound over to the justice court and a hear ing will be held on Thursday. June 2, tn the event that the principal wlt- ’ ness. Mrs. Clyde Harper, of this city, is sufficiently recovered to attend ths I trial. It is said that the evidence shows the car to have been driven at a high er rate of speed than claimed by the stage company. The body of ths cow. it is indicated, was pushed 73 j feet, or over, by the impact of the i ear, the distance being set by blood spots on the pavement. Other eetl- ' mates placed the distance at over 1100 feet. Testimony was introduced to prove that a child, said to be close to the car at the time of the accident, wan in reality. 200 feet behind the ma- chine when the cow was struck, and entirely out of danger. Opinion divided as to whether the animal was ! frightened onto the highway by a ¡'log. or whether the dog appeared af- (ter the outcry of the cow as the ma chine struck her. Mrs. Harper, it is said, had cau tioned the driver Just before the ac- cient. and asked it the rate of speed the car was making was entirely safe and called for. The reply was that the machtne was behind schedule. Opinion seemed conclusive that 1« striking the cow squarely the driver took the beet course, and that a slanting Mow, under the circum stance« would have been less aafti.
