FALLS TO DEATH
Wiliis Oddy Knocked from
Trestle by Cable Above
Powers Yesterday
Willis Oddy, a resident of Coquille
and vicinity for nearly 50 years, and
a brother of County Clerk L. W.
Oddy, was almost instantly killed,
twelve miles above Powers, yesterday
afternoon. A flying line or cable hit
him on the forehead, knocking him
from the trestle on which he was
working and he fell through the
' trestle, striking -on several timbers
before reaching the bottom of the ra
vine, 50 or more feet below. His
son-in-law, Gordon Epps, who was
working with him, did not see the
cable hit Mr. Oddy, but was first at-
tracted by the shout of the engineer
on the pile driver.
(
A wide and deep gash near the
crown of his head showed where the
blow which fractured his skull oc-
curred.
*
He was placed on a hand car at
once and started for Powers where
an ambulance awaited, but he died
before reaching the hospital at Myr
tle Point.
Mr. Oddy had recently returned
from Ashland where he had been at
work, and was employed by the Coos
Bay Lumber Co. on the pile driver in
the extension of their logging road
in the Eden valley section.
Funeral service will be held at the
chapel here tomorrow (Saturday), at
2 p. m., conducted by T. B. MacDon
ald, of the Christian church. Inter
ment will be in the Masonic cemetery.
Henry Willis Oddy was born at
Norway, October 20, 1885, and was
47 yeans, nine months and seven days
of age. He was the son of Wililam
and Ellen Oddy. On July 25, 1910, he
was united in marriage to Miss Ealie
Tennison here in Coquille. Two chil
dren were born to this union, a son,
Harold, and a daughter, Mrs. Mary

Either the Klamath Falls Pelicans
or the Coquille Loggers will lead the
procession at the head of the South
ern Oregon League after next Sun
day’s game which will be played in
Athletic Park here. Each club has
won six and lost two games, and it
is a little odd that these teams
should meet for this crucial game at
this time. It is probable, though not
positive, that the Sunday winner will
win the pennant. Just one more Sun
day on the schedule when Coquille
plays at Roseburg and Medford at
Klamath Falls. Roseburg, which has
won five and lost three has an out
side chance to-tie for the bunting.
Manager Fortier will have bis full
strength in the game Sunday and
“Frisco” Edwards will not be over
looking any opportunity to take this
game which will start at 2 o’clock.
Coos county will operate its can
ning plant at the .county farm this
season for the beneifit of producers of
farm and garden crops. Meats, fish,
and fruits will also be handled.
Except far unshelled peas, one-half
of the canned products will be return
ed to the owner, Coos county keeping
the other half in return for furnish
ing all labor, cans and cooking.
,
l ots of vegetables, fruits, or other
produce will be received, providing
that fhey are sufficient for one-half
day’s run of the canning plant. No
produce will be received on Saturday«
or Sundays.
