Charles Black Is Caught Under

TWO MEN ARE INJURED
I '
Charles Bilyeu and Mike Wall Receive
Painful Bruises and Two Others
Escape Uninjured.
Hurtling over the ground at tho rate
of "ill miles -an hour iu a six-cylinder
automobile, Charles Hlaek was almost
instantly killed and Charles Bilyeu and
Mike Wall received painful injuries
about 1:11(1 o'clock this morning, when
the machine turned a complete somer
sault and lauded onto a barbed wire
fence fifteen feet from the road, near
the Itrunk place, seven miles west of
this city, in Polk county. Carl Williams
and :. It. Hamlin, also occupants of the
ear, were uninjured.
Although Dr. JtcAllen, of Dalian,
arrived upon the scene of tho accident
within a few moments after it, occurred,
Charles Black, who received the fatnl
injuries, died within 40 minutes after
the big auto took the terrible pluuge
from the highway. When Dr. MeAlleu
reached the spot, Mr. Black was able to
utter a few incoherent words and, be
fore the physician could make prepar
ations to keep life in the body, tho in
hired man passed away with a groan.
Speed Frightful.
When the party left Salem nloni
about 1 o'clock, Charles llilyeu, the
Iriver ami owner of tlio heavy car,
yelled "all aboard," and tho outfit
whirled down Commercial street to Cen
ter ami rushed over the Willamette
bridge toward Dallas. According to the
iiicinbers of Hie party that escaped
practically uninjured from the wreck,
when the nuto oppninchoil the Drunk
place, which is located on the Dallas
Salem road, about seven miles from Sa
lem, it was traveling at a terrific rate
of speed.
The accident occurred, it is said,
through the inability of tho driver to
I a sharp curve in the road. When
Hie machine reached the curve which
caused tho fatal wreck, the driver, fail
ing to observe ami calculate the eiteiit
of the curve, did not handle the ma
chine with due caution and the result
was the heavy auto flew out of his
control ami before any of the partv
realized what was happening, it left
the road at the I I and after turning
a complete somersault, landed on a wire
fence about, fifteen feet to the north
of the road.
Victim Crushed.
Charles Black, the victim of the acci

iiiachine. He wns silting between two
other men in the renr scat and, when
tho auto took the leap, he apparently
remained in the sent. When the ma
chine was rolled off his body, Black
was unconscious. Ilis fellow-travelers
hurried to the first telephone in the

who arrived as soon as posisble. Dlm-k,
although still breathing, was beyond
