UNUSUAL ACCIDENT INJURES PROJECT WOMAN SERIOUSLY Residents of Hermiston wer» shocked to hear Thursday morning of the narrow escape from death of Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Illsley, Howard Illsley and Miss Betty Beasley, at Umatilla, Wednesday night. ' According to reports, the party Dr. Illsley driving, were approaching the railroad tracks Just before reaching Umatilla, and watching for approaching trains, heard and saw an engine several hundred feet fron the crossing. As the engine was tor tar away for any possibility of dan ger they decided to cross, and whet too close to avoid it, a short trait of freight cars, without engine, lights or brakeman, making a flying switch was directly upon them. Dr. Illsley attempted to turn the car and run parallel with the train, but it struck the front of the car turning and pushing the automobile With the first crash, Mrs. Illsley was thrown out between the boxcars and the machine. It is supposed that she was stunned by the impact as the space between the cars and machine was so small that the slightest move must have been fatal, each car In passing striking the open swinging door of the automobile. Earl Caldwell, who was directly behind the wrecked car, helped to extricate Mrs. Illsley, and she was taken in his car to the Brownell res- idence in Umatilla, before being brought to Hermiston, where she is at present at her home under the care of a nurse, suffering from the shock. It has not been ascertained as yet the extent of her injuries, if any. None of the other members of the party were injured. Mrs. J. E. Younce, living three and one-half miles southeast of Stanfield on the Government ditch, was badly injured Sunday evening at her home by the accidental discharge of a shot-gun. Mrs. Younce’s son, aged about 12, had come in from shooting and was unloading his shot-gun in the kitchen In some way the gun was discharged, and the shot went through a parti tion. tore the lock off a door, tore through the boards underneath the dining table in another room and lodged in the leg of Mrs. Younce, who was sitting on the farther side of the table. Four pieces of the shot penetrated Mrs. Younce’s leg almost to the bone, and there is danger of infection from possible splinters that may have been carried into the wounds. One piece of shot also entered her jaw and ap parently passed out through her mouth, for no trace of It has yet been found. THE POSSIBILITIES OF HAY GROWERS' ; : : 479093 By L. A.
