OREGON n V BV SAME MOWER A teq'iblu accident happened at tho Subs & Schnan Ranch about 11:30 Tuesday morning, which resulted in ono man maimed for lifo and another badly injured. A few days ago two young fel lows claiming to bo Russians and giving thoir name3 Bill Bitnor ami Rinard Calp, applied at (ho ranch for work and on Tuesday morning were put to mowing buy. It appears that Calp stopped his team to fix something about tho harness. Although previously warned, lie fniietl to throw the machine out of gear and stopped in front of tho sickle-bar; when ho reached flown to pick up tho linos tho tcatutnrtcdnnd his loft arm was completely severed a few inches above tho wrist and his left log badly lacerated. Noticing something was wrong Hitncr stopped his team and has tened to Gulp's aid, who in tho meantime had got cleur of tho machine, but in endeavoring to catch tho horses Calp had been driving he got in front of the sickle-bur and his left foot was terribly cut. Both men received many other cuts undrnlches and were cov ered with blood when picked up by other workmen and tnken ton shcUci Dr. Wilson was summoned and dressed their injuries, and later in tho afternoon the men were taken to the hospital at Baker by Bert Rogers. As Mr. Schnau had carefully warned both men of tho dunger, of getting in front of the sickle bar, no blame for tho uccident can be laid to him.
