It appears that a Fourth of July celebration cannot bo held without n few encounters, the friendliness of which Is questioned even under a peaceful city like Salem. Saturday was not an exception to the rule. A number of accldontb, conflicts of opin ions and 0110 small blszc, served to cause some excitement 011 cclcbiatloti day, at Salem. During tho parade in tho morning the horso ridden by 11 wheeled about suddenly an unknown boy down. . A. Thomas, and knocked Fortunately, tho boy escaped uninjured. During the afternoon an unfortu nate accident befell tho 0-ycur-old bou of Mrs. Shcnnelleld, who conducts tho Riley Boarding house on High street. The greased pig had been turned looso and In order to escape from his pur suers, took refuge beneath an old shed at tho rear of the Small dry goods store. A large crowd at onco climbed upon the shed to obtain a better view ot tho chase, but the shed gavo way, precipitating headlong, nil thoso who were staudlng upon it. Thcllttlo fel low above mentioned fell in such' a manner ns to break his right hip. A physclan was Immediately called, and reduced tho fracture, and tho little fellow Is resting quito easily today. Altus Bower, son ot Mrs, E. J. Bower of Spokane, Wash., who has been visiting Turner friends for some time, mot with a very painful nccldcnt Satur day. AVI1II0 playing in a barn ho fell from a beam, alighting on his right elbow sustaining a sovuro fracture of that member. During the bicycle races Saturday afternoon occurcd three accidents that might have proved much more serious in their results. While a raco was taking olacc, the Misses Mlnnlo and Bessie Sherman attempted to cross tho track when tlioy wcro run Into by the wheelmen who wcro traveling very rapidly. Miss Mlnnlo was considerably bruised nnd shaken up but her Injuries nro not ot n serious nature. Luckily neither of tho wheelmen wcro Injured atull. Sov oral spokeB wcro broken out of ono wheel. An Albany wheelman, whllo riding around the track, collided with a small boy, throwing him quite forci bly to the ground b'ut not injuring him seriously. During tho Calltliumplaii parade an unstial accident occurred Just in front of Gilbert & Patterson's grocery store on Commercial street. A horse attached to a light open bhggy, bo longing to M. W. McGownn, was standing in front or tho storo whllo at ono side stood n largo bay horse attached to 11 buggy, In which was seated tho owner, J, C. Smith, of Dallas, suddenly Mr. Smith's horso became unmanageable and jumped with nil four feci upon tho open buggy at Its side. De spite nil efforts of tho driver, tho horso completely demolished the buggy with tho excoptlou of ono wheel. Mr, McGowau nnd u friend had left tho buggy Just a fow moments beforo tho accident, otherwise tho result might have been serious. In tho evening n team driven by Mr. nnd Mrs.Rowoll.of Dallas,collldcd with a cart occupplcd by J. II. Nairn, j of Ballston. The cart was overturned whon tho horso started to run and was not brought to a standstill until it hud covered ovor 100 feet. Mr. Nairn luckily clung to the lines and as a result was somewhat bruised. A man named Zimmerman became involved 111 a dispute with a buIooii man and came out second best. A business man from Turner.named Dettwellor, also eugaged In a dispute with J. II. Hlllsbury, proprietor of tho State street lunch counter. Mr. Dettweller had to answer for Ills fun beforo Recorder Edes today, Saturday evening an Englishman and a Frenchman umiiscd a largo crowd at tho corner of State and Commercial streets. They engaged 111 a discussion on the subject of foreign immigration and as tho time went by the discussion waxed warmer. At length tho young orators woro about to give an exhibition In the "manly art of self defense" when n policeman appeared and brought tho discussion to a sudden and unexpected terminus. About 0 o'clock Saturday evening the lire department was culled out to extinguish a small blaze on the roof of the Wlllurd blacksmith shop on State street. A quick run was made and tho visitors, who happened 10 lie oh the street nt the time, enjoyed the run considerable, Tho tiro probably caught from lire works. Tho damage was slight.
