Dickie Buerstatte of Walla Walla put on a trick perform ance on his Shetland pony and shared honors with Cowboy" Steve Shannon. Announcer for the three days was Eldon Frock of North Hollywood who pleased the fans with a good running line of in formation and chat about this event and that. Frock is one of the best informed announcers in the business, his knowledge of horses giving him a good back ground for such information as he passed on concerning the best reined cow horse event. Two Injured There were no injuries the sec ond day of the show, but two serious hurts the last day. Pete Grubb left the chutes on the back of "Strip", and about the third plunge out the horse went down and completely rolled over the Florence, Arizona, cowhand whose red head has been seen riding and roping its way to big money for the past five years here.

Dr. George Adler, attending physician, said Grubb would be sore for quite a spell but he would suffer no serious injuries. A Brahma bull, that ornery "Guadaliche", threw Frankie Schneider for a loss but the boy was able to take it. When the boys took down the flags, rolled up the bunting for another year, and called it a day. they decided the Klamath Buck aroo Days show was well on its way to making history in the field of rodeo performances. National Death Toll Hits 628; Oregon Counts 14 (Continued from Page One) far less than m years when laws against the sale of fireworks were less strict. ' By The Associated Prats , A- warm sun sent weekend vacationers searching for cool ing waters Sunday, and boosted Oregon's Fourth of July holi day death toll to 14. . Nine of the deaths were by drownings and four were blamed on traffic accidents. A canoe overturned in the Mary's river near Corvallis yesterday, drowning Marvin Quails, 24, Sweet Home.

STILES' BEACON SERVICE Phone 9031 1201 East Main IAN REPORTED IN (Continued from Page One) the eastern fringes of soviet territory in the south. Without locating the hole it said had boon punched in the Stalin line, DNB reported Ger man forces still advancing from the Volhynia area, west of the Ukraine capital of Kiev. MOSCOW. July 7 UV) The red army declared today the German drive had been thrown back by Russian counter-offensives in five sectos of the goat battlcfront and asserted Adolf Hitler is using tanks o f wood and canvas to pad out his panzer columns. These vehicles, however, are sell-propelling and carry machine-guns, said an official state ment. This discovery was said to have been made by red army scouts observing a tank column moving up to the front in an un- ldentilied sector. Surprise Discovery Using field glasses, the leader of the scouts, Junior Lieutenant Sobchenko, had a chance to in spect the column closely when it halted on a road at the German rear, according- to the official account. He was amazed, it was said, when he "noticed that the body of one of the tanks unexpected ly gave in under the pressure of the elbow of an officer who lean ed against it. "Careful observation revealed that of 20 tanks constituting the column, only one was a genuine tank. "The others were wooden structures covered with canvas and mounted on caterpillars. Only the real tank that led the column could fire shells: the others conducted only machine gun fire." When night came the column was destroyed, the communique said. Without linking this story with its broad claims of success es, the red army reported the German offensive had been blocked on the whole front. On the northern reaches of Russia's heavy fortifications, the Stalin' line, a night-long battle was said to have broken up a tank-pointed attempt by j motorized infantrymen to break through the Ostrov region toward Pskov, an anchor of the Stalin line. "In the night fighting, our troops inflicted on the enemy tanks a heavy defeat, said a Russian communique. Likewise repulsed, according to the Russians, wore German attacks aimed at forcing the Dvina river line, near Polotsk, northwest of Orsha and thrusts into the Ukraine in the vicinity of Novograd Volynski and into Bessarabia at unspecified points. Oregon Heat Wave Topped by 103 Mark at Umatilla By The Associated Press Oregon's belated heat wave still was going strong today (Monday) after closing the Fourth of July weekend witn a state high of 103 degrees at Umatilla Sunday. The, federal weather bureau at Portland predicted fair weath er tonight and Tuesday, but somewhat overcast tonight and Tuesday morning in valleys of the west portion and along the coast. Temperatures will change but little. Indications for a time Sunday night were that increasing cloud iness would end the four-day heat wave, which was climaxed by a maximum of 101 at Pend leton and readings in or near the 90s in all except coastal sections of the state. An end to northeastern Ore gon's heat was presaged by the district's most severe electrical storm in years. Strong winds accompanied the lightning, knocking out power systems and blocking the Milton-Walla Walla highway with power poles and tree limbs. Travelers were routed over a Tumalum-Wlnesap detour. Elec trical service in Milton, Spof ford, Ferndale and Umapine was affected. Further loss to wheat, dam aged 10 days ago by a hail storm, was feared. ! Other maximum readings yes- i tcrday included: Baker airport I 95, Eugene 85; Hood River 87, L,aKeview 81, Medford 92, New port 67, North Bend 70, Port land 89. PREPARED HUNTINGTON, I n d.

'Funeral services will be an nounced later by Ward's. A freak accident occurred at 3:30 p. in. Sunday two miles north of Modoc Point when a car operated by Roy M. Crone of Sandy, Ore., plunged 100 feet through swampy tule land alongside the road after a tire had blown out as the car drove along The Dalles - California highway at a high rate of speed. All victims were in Klamath Valley hospital, none seriously injured. Motorists who saw the acci dent said the moment the tire blew out, doors of the sedan opened and the occupants flew out "like leaves." The machine traveled 370 feet along the pave ment before it plunged into the tules, state police said. Injured were Crone, fractured collarbone and body hurts. Ruth Howe, 15, daughter of Michael Howe of Yuba City, cuts and lacerations of face and neck; Fcrman Alfred Gaithcr, Live Oak, Calif., back injuries; Ed ward Sanford Dillcy, Oregon City, Ore., fractured ankle, arm and body injuries. Wilbur Ed win Runge of Portland, whom state police said was also a passenger in the car, was not listed as a patient at Klamath Valley hospital- 1 Much credit was due Marc and "Bill" Clark of this city who were passing by at the time of the accident. Both young men cared for the wet and shocked victims until the ar rival of Ward's ambulance crew. Numerous minor accidents were reported by doctors as the result of the holiday weekend. None of the cowboys who suf fered injuries during the three day Klamath Buckaroo Days rodeo, needed hospitalization al though many were given first aid at the emergency station on the grounds. First reported holiday week end accident in Klamath county occurred shortly after Satur day's rodeo ended when Fred Janssen, 70, was struck by an automobile near Idella's store on South Sixth street. The aged man had crossed the highway to a store and was returning to where his nephew waited in a car when a sport roadster driven by Ernie Lylc Hope, 338 Martin street, struck him, state police said. Ward's ambulanca carried Janssen to Klamath Valley hos pital, where it was learned the old man suffered from a badly shattered left leg, facial abra sions and possible rib injuries. Hope was arrestod by State Of ficer Lawrence Bcrgmann for having no operator's license. Bergmann said Hope stated he was driving about 40 miles an hour through the 25-mile zone prevailing on that portion of South Sixth street, but that he had signalled his approach, and could not avoid hitting Janssen. His condition was said to be un changed by hospital authorities Monday. A visitor from Bend, a Mrs Ditmor, was struck and knocked down by a car shortly afterward near the fairgrounds entrance. She had stopped momentarily at the scene of the Janssen accident and then had ridden to summon police. As she walked out on the roadway toward a traffic officer she was hit by an approaching vehicle, according to a physician who later attended her. She suf fered a bruised leg and ankle.
