Billy W hite's Awful Accident. Benson W o n 't Resign. All the older residents of Coquille will remember Chas. W. White and family who lived in this place for a number of years up to eleven years ago, during which time Mr. White was superintendent of the Coquille sawmill. The family moved from here to Trinity couuty, California, and some time ago Mr. White suf- 1 fered injuries while at work in a mine. But the most serious and appall ing experience of any of the family was that had by Willie, one of the sops , whose age is now 20 or 21 years. His experience has soldom been equaled and will cause a shud der to read, as also a wonder that he lives to tell of the terrible or deal. While groping his way in the darkness between Douglas City and Weaverville, in Trinity county, a number of nights ago, traversing a lonely and dangerous trail, Willie fell over a precipice 75 feet in height and rolled 25 feet further into the bed of a creek after striking the rocky ledge. His leg was broken in the fall, the bones protruding through the flesh in a horrible man ner, and he was otherwise bruised and lacerated. Yet in this condi tion he managed to draw himself out of the water and dragged his maimed and bleeding body in the direction of a known wagon road, crawling laboriously through all the weary hours of the rainy night. Morning found the sufferer in view of the road, and here he lay more dead than aliye until a man happened by, wnom he hailed, and he was hurried to Weaverville for medical attendance. At last reports his condition was gradually mend ing, and he will ultimately be him self once more, though it is doubt ful if he forgets the experience to the last day o f bis existence. The pain which the young man suffered during all those nocturnal aud rainy hours can scarcely be de scribed, and it is bard to under stand bow he managed to emerge from the ordeal with his life. According to the Evening Tele gram Secretary of State F. W. Ben son has said: " I never enUrtained tbs slightest thought of resigning my office, and will certuinly not do so as long as there is a salary at tached.” He was referring to a ru mor published in the Telegram some time ago. In case ¡Secretary Bensou should resign before the election of a United States Senator, Governor Chamberlain would appoint a Dem ocrat to succeed him, and he, in turn, would succeed to the Gover norship in the event of Governor Chamberlain’s election to the Sen ate, and would appoint another Democrat as Secretary of State and create a Democratic State Board with full control of all the State in stitutions. Secretary Benson says it is ridiculous to presume that he would resign under these circum stances. Death of John Caldwell. •f. C.
