FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1900.
THE ROGUE RIVER COURIER,
The North Pole
mystery Is at last solved.
The lives of many have been
lost In this hazardous un
dertaking. Midst the frost
and Ice of that Arctic re
gion many hardy explorers
have met death and on every
side their sufferings have
been intense. It is said that
the face and hands of Dr.
Cook and the white mem
bers of his party were bo
cracked and roughened from
the fierce winds and Ice cold
water as to drive "them al
most insane. It is deeply
to be regretted that they
possibly, even In this en
lightened age, knew nothing
of "PERSIAN SECRET."
Had they been supplied with
this great remedy for the
face and hands, their suffer
ings might have been, to a
large extent, avoided.

Last Sunday afternoon a runaway
occurred which was exciting in the
extreme and might have proved fatal
to those in the carriage. Four
Grants Pass young people, Messrs
Carl Ginette and Clifford Dean and
Misses Patti Gray and Nora Morri
son were on a picnic excursion when
one of the singletrees broke and let
the tongue drop, the tugs came loose
and the horses ran for about 100
feet, pulling the surrey by the bits.
The young people borrowed the
necessary tongue and singletrees
from a farmer and in coming home
In the evening the horses ran out of
the road, over a stump, and another
smash up was the result. The boys
managed to fix things up in shape
bo that they were able to return
home, but with their carriage in
rather a dilapidated condition. No
one was hurt.

6 YEAR OLD BOY KILLED
(Continued from Page 1.)
over the child's left thigh, ribs and
side of his head, crushing the llttlo
body Into a shapeless mass. Miss
Lucile McCroskey was In front of
tho Moss residence and saw the boy
standing on the brake and she could
hardly tell Just what happened but
supposed he missed his footing and
went down under the wheel. Other
ladies also saw the accident and Mrs.
W, H. Pattlllo, who lives opposite
the Moss residence, ran over and told
Mrs. Heberlle what had happened.
Mrs. Moore, who was also near, ran
out and taking off her apron, cover
ed the little body with It. Some one
telephoned tho coroner, Dr. Fredk.
Strieker, that a child had been hurt
and It being a hurry-up call ho ran
down to the place, but Mrs. Heber
lle had arrived first and had tho form
In her arms and was carrying It away
whon the doctor reached the spot.
Investigation showed that it was
purely accidental and tho coroner
decided that an Inquest was un
necessary. Mr. Heberlle was on tho south
bound train, No. 19, with his cousin,
John Clifford, returning from the
Seattle exposition, and when he
reached Merlin he met Dick Bland,
who told him that his boy had been
Injured by a dray but did not tell
him that he had been Instantly kill
ed, and It was not until his arrival
here at 10:45, five hours after the
accident that tho horrible truth was
made known to tho father.
This Is one of tho saddest acci
dents that ha socurred In our city
for many years and tho shock to the
community was depressing In the ex
treme. Little Loulo Heberllo was 6
years 6 months and 1 day old nt the
time of his death. He was not only
the Idol of his father and mother, but
was a favorite with nil who knew
him. Tho drnyninn who told tho
story to the Courier said that ho was
tho sweetest child that ho had ever
seen and his grief was evident as ho
related the circumstances of the ac
cident. The men on the dray did
nil In their power to avert an ac
cident nnd the people who were near
testified that they were In no way
to blame.
The people of Grants Pass extend
their sympathy to tho stricken father
and mother.
The tunernl will take place from
the family residence at 10:30 on
Saturday morning, nnd will ho con
ducted by Rev. Robt, McLean, of tho
Presbyterian church. The Interment
will bo In tno Odd FoIIowb cemetery.
