Wheeler, a brother to C. H. Wheeler, of the Nehalem Lumber Company, at Nehalem, on Tuesday afternoon. Large spruce logs were lieing loaded on a barge at the saw mill at Nehalem, by a special rigging fitted up for that purpose. The barge was about half loaded, and there was room left in .1 tier of logs lor one more. ¡It was swung into place ready to be lowered. Unseen, Wheeler jumped down towedge one of the logs back, and j««t as he straightened up the large log was lowered, catching him at the hips crushed him in a frightful manner. His hip bone was broken, the lower part of the abdomen crushed and Wheeler was otherwise badly bruised and injured. Dr. Boals was telephoned for and made a quick trip, Eugene Jenkins taking him to Nehalem in his automobile in a little over two hours, where a boat was in waiting for him to lake him down the river to the saw mill. Dr. Boals did what he could for the unfortunate man, but as his injuries were of such a serious nature it was decided to take him to the hospital at Portlati-’ and as the Geo. R. Vosburg was in the river, W heeler was taken on board of her on Tuesday morning, and Dr. Boals and his brother, C. H. Wheeler had decided to accompany him. Captain Loll did not wait lor the tide, and in attempting to cross out over the Nehalem bar the Vosberg began bump ing. and the sea being rough at the time, the steam connections became damaged, allowing the steam to escape from the boilers, and in a few minutes the steam was reduced to below 401bs. In this crippled condition the Vosburg succeeded in getting hack into the river, but none too soon, for the steam gave out. She had a close call of meeting with a much more serious accident. Under thecircumstances it was decided not to send Wheeler to Portland. D'. Boals thinks he has a fair show of pull ing through and making rapid recovery. Although badly injured, and painfully so, tbe broken bones grating one against tne other when be was being moved, Wheeler is gritty under the painful and trying ordeal. He does not appear to be injured above the hips. STATUS OFHEMBBEE CASE Probably a New Trial will be Granted in Allowing Larsen to Testify In Case. Upon the night the jury returned its verdict of murder in the first degree against A. J. Hembree, the Sandlake murderer, counsel were given 30 days in which to file motion for a new trial. This time expired on June 24, at which time defendant's counsel appeared in court with three motions, one motion was for a new trial and another motion was to set aside the verdict on the ground that the Polk circuit court ‘.had no jurisdiction for the reason that the county was not the closest to Tillamook (contending that the closest county should be defined as the county whose conuty seat is located nearest to Tilla mook,) and another motion to postpone the sentence of the defendant until they conld make an affidavit to the Circuit Court of Tillamook County at its No vember term to have the record changed to show that the defendant had not en tered a plea to the indictment. At that time District Attorney McNary had no warning that these motions would be made and was not prepared to take them up, for he considered that he shonld file contrary affidavits showing that he did enter a plea. In order to secure these affidavits the District Attorney asked for two weeks time. The court then ad journed until |uly 9, at which time it heard arguments on the motion to post pone the sentence until the application to change the record could be made in Tillamook County. This motion was overruled at that lime by Judge Burnett. The motion to set aside the verdict on the ground of want of jurisdiction m tl e Polk court court was ’hen argued and the same was overruled. These two arguments occupied the entire day and as the Marion County term was to com mence tbe following Monday, the Court continued the matter upon the hearing of the motion for a new trial until July 23. On July 23 the counsel for the le fendant and the District Attorney argu- ed the motion for a new trial. After the argument the Court stated its desire to take the matter under advisement, and fixed Seplemlier 21. 19OH. as the time to pass upon the motion. The main reason urged for a new trial is the alleged er ror of the court in admitting M H Lar. sen's testimony, and from the authori. ties it may be the court will tie compelled to ¡grant the motion for a new trial. When thia matter came up at the trial tbe defence objected to Larson’s testi mony. but after Judge Burnett had taken it under advisement over night, he al lowed Larsen to testify. In case Judge Burnett should grant Hembree a new trial it would come up at the next De <■ ember term of court al Dallas. #1.50 per year. W.

Drifts From Moorings on Ebb « Tide Turn« Turtle on Smitb’a Point. A stoiia , Ore.. July 27.—The eteam schooner Minnie E. Kelton, which has had such a frightful experience during the last few months. ia now hard aground on the jetty ennde below No. 8 buoy, and she will probably bleach her bones on the sands there. Yesterday Captain Genereaux. under writers' salvor, succeeded in raising the Kelton from the flats below Smith’s Point until she swung clear of the bot tom. and telegraphed for tugs to tow the craft to the St. John drydock. The Kelton was held up by cables running under her and fastened to two barges moored alongside. A smaller barge be. longing to the diver was moored to one of the larger ones. There were four men on boasd the large barges and one on the smaller one. On the ebb tide last night, the Kelton and the barges carried away tbe dolph ins to which they were fastened, and dragging their anchor*, drifted down to the mouth of the river, where the Kelton grounded on the jetty sands and cap sized, and now lies bottom up, with her stern fast and her bow swinging with the tide. The Point Adams life saving crew res cued the men and succeeded in anchoring the smaller barge, but the two larger ones drifted out and were picked up this morning by tl>e tug Tatorxh, fully five mile* beyond the lightship. There is now no hope ofjsiving the Kelton and some I elieve she will he swept out to sea by the tide, while others ssy she will soon bury herself in the sands, 'where she lies Th« Minnie E. Kelton, in command of Captain Mc Kenna. was enroute down the coast with a cargo ol lumber and encountered a severe gale, during which the vessel's house was carried away and she became waterlogged. When off Yaquina Head several men, tiers of her crew were drown- ed while trying to reach the land. Later Captain McKenna dropped bis anchors and with the balance of his crew went ashore. Shortly afterward tbe steamer Washington picked up the waterlogged craft, towed her to this port asd drop ped her on the flats below Smith's Point, where she soon made a bole ia the sands and where several thoasand dollar* have ticca expended in an attempt to float her. The Kelton was brought out from the Great Lakes by Captain McKenna for the Miami Lumber Com pany, to go on the Tillamook run, and the trip on which the accident occurred was her first on the Pacific Coast. A storia . Or.. July 28.—Late to-night Captain Hailey of the tug Tatooah placed the derelict Kelton alongside the wharf al Flavel, where she will be left until morning and Cheu brought up to this city. After the tug had towed on the Kel ton for about nix hours this afternoon, the derelict suddenly turned over until she is now practically on an even keel. Her bow in stove in four winches which were on p- r deck* are gone, her fore castle head has lieeti carried away and a portion of her bulwarks smashed. The boilers are gone, but the engine* are said to be intact. As llie Kellon had been abandoned by the underwriters she will probably now lie claimed by the O.R. & N. Company , lessee of the tug Tatoosh. DANCE AND CLAMBAKE. Big Event at Happy Camp Next Saturday Night.
