During the dense fog Saturday
evening accidents occurred in and
near Heppner, one with rather ser
ious results.
Mr. and Mrs. J, D. Bauman, of
near Lexington, were on their way
home from Heppner when their car
went off the grade and turned over.
Mrs. Bauman was caught under the
car and received serious injuries, al
though she was reported getting
aloong well yesterday.
Four men, whose names could not
be learned, went into the creek at
the north end of the Gale street
bridge during the evening, their
Ford car plunging over a 15-foot
ledge of rock Into the creek. For
tunately the car did not turn over
and no one was seriously injured.
Mrs. Ray White, of Lexington
missed the highway after crossing
the Main street bridge, but fortun
ately struck the old grade and drove
her car to safety.
Several other drivers report hav
ing difficulty in keeping away from
the curb even in the lighted streets.
