AGEO MAN SEVERLY INJURED ; WHEN HORSE RUNS AWAY i John Baskin, Victim of Accident Is Reported As Resting Com- i foriably at Hospital. ! John Baskin, aged 50, residing near Albany, sustained several injuries in a runaway accident on the steel bridge yesterday afternoon -while enroute 10 his home in Benton county. He re ceived a gash over the right eye, a cut on tli e nose and his face was lacerated in several places and his body severe ly bruised, but his injuries are not re garded as serious. Baskin was driving a buggy across the bridge when be met an automobile and turned aside, apparently not not icing his proximity to the railing. The hub caught on a simport of the rail ing, throwing the shaft against the horse, which dashed down the bridge, the buugy swaying from one side of the bridge to the other. Baskin was thrown out, falling under a wheel. He was taken to St. Mary's hospital where this afternoon he was reported as resting comfortably. The report that the horse was fright ened by the firing of firecrackers has gained wide circulation but the latest reports of the accident tend to dis credit this contention. PRUNE GROWERS ASSN. WILL NOT START POOL FOR PRUNES Indications Seem Favorable for Good Price forPresent Seasons Crop. Independence, Or., July 5. The Wil lamette Valley Prune Growers' As sociation has decided not to form a pool to secure prices for the 1913 prune crop, as has heretofore been done. Prices are to be made this year on whatever conditions justify and the members of the association think this plan will be far more successful. Indications seem favorable for a good price for prunes for the .present season's crop, and the yield also will be good, the growers say. Several of the large growers in the southern part of Polk county are preparing to dry their own prunes this fall and thereby cut down the expense of preparing the fruit for market. In connection with the private canneries it is planned to dry other fruits besides prunes. THERE ARE SURE SOME CRACK SHOTS IN ALBANY Members of Local Gun Club Shoot at Corvallis and Win Prizes.

Baltimore, Dr. Lein ingcr, Elmer Nickerson. John M. French, F. J. Track and Wm. Obcr meyer. Ballack, Baltimore and Lein inger all made straight scores at twen ty rocks. Altogether the members of the Albany team held their pwn, making a splendid showing. They re port having a good time with the live bunch of fellows present, numbering thirty-five. FARMERS BLEW DP BIG FIB WITH DYNAMITE YESTERDAY Novel Celebration of the Foyrth Was Held on the Hutchinson Farm. The most unique attempt to cele brate the Fourth of July that ever took place near Albany occurred at the farm of F. C. ind W. H. Hutchin son this morning when 160 sticks of dynamite were exploded in a huge tree. On the farm lias stood an enor mous fir tree, 150 feet tall and 18 feet, 8 inches in diameter. For some lime the removal of this tree has been con sidered. Instead of cutting it, the owners of the farm decided to blow it up as a unique July Fourth celebra tion. In the center of the tree, thre-. feet under ground, 160 -,tics of dynamite were placed. Word of the intended explosion was sen; out and a larfe c-rwei was present. Ac the explosion occurred the cp oi t!.c tree broke into three pieces, the it-west 90 feet ioiu 'he ground, ami then but a moment (.iter the cni:-i-tree shot out of tile ground.

FOURTH QUIETLY OBSERVED HERE Only Two Minor Accidents Arc Reported As Incident to Observance of Day. POLICE RUN IN SEVERAL DRUNKS AND MAKE RAID Nation's Birthday Celebrations Are Reported to Be of Sane Nature. Stive for two accidents thus far re ported, the Fourth of July in Albany was observed in an extremely quiet and sane manner. With the exception of one incumbent, who was the victim of an accident yesterday, authorities at St. -Mary's Hospital reported this afternoon, that the duy was without incident at that iustituion. The first accident incident to the Fourth, happened Wednesday, when a firecracker exploded in the hand of Teddy Gilbert, six year old son of S. S. Gilbert. The little fellow was severely burned in the face and the ball of his eye was slightly injured. Physicians believe that no permanent injury wil result. The secottd accident happened yes terday afternoon on the steel bridge when John Baskin, aged 50, sustained severe injuries on the face and a badly bruised body, when his horse became frightened at an approaching auto mobile and ran away. He was takc'ii to St. Mary's hospital where he is resting comfortably with prospects for an early recovery. Owing to rigid police regulations against the use of fire arms and fire works other than crackers of the smallest size, the day was totally with out incident save the above mentioned episodes and besides the arrest of sev eral drunks. It is rumored that the police made a raid yesterday morn ing on a supposed blind pig in the rear of the Peacock livery stable and confiscated a quantity of bottled beer but no arrests were made. It was reported at police headquar ters this morning that the day was without serious accident and that it can be recorded as one of the most orderly and sanest celebrations in years. With but a few exceptions the element of rowdyism was decidedly lacking throughout the day. From other places in the valley where celebrations were held comes the report that little happened to marr the pleasantness of the day. Albany People at Ncyport.
