The car was a Ford coupe, owned
by Mr. Phelps of Pendleton who had
loaned the ear that same evening to
a friend in that city. Why the-ear
was driven over the bluff or by whom

The owner was notified by phone
and left Pendleton for the scene of
the wreck shortly after being noti

vice station had taken off most ol
the accessories shortly after the wreck
was discovered to save them - from
possible thievery.
Sherrif f Chrisman reported that
there was no sign of any one being
injured or that anyone was in the
car when it went over the bluff.

Sherrif f Hugh Chrisman was called
to Rufus Tuesday morning to in
vestigate an auto wreck on the Co
lumbia highway west of that place.
The car went over a high embank

orchard, where it could not be seen
by passing motorists.
A railroad track walker reported
the accident to the Wilson service
station, close to the scene of the
wreck. He stated that he was on a
track inspection trip when he first
saw the car coming from the east on
the highway. It was driven past the
place, turned around and went back
and stopped near the edge of the
bluff. Then he saw a man leave the
car and walk west. Shortly after the
