A Runaway Team-Badly Broken Limbs.

On last Saturday a son of the Hon. F. NJ.
Wadsworth met with a very severe acci-
dent, the result of which was the fracture OF
both bones of his leg near the ankle. He
was engaged in hauling lumber to his faith
er's farm near this place and had just re-
turned with load and had left the team
standing near the house while he went to
the house for drink of water. Where the
team and wagon stood the ground was a lit
tie on the incline in the direction that the
team was going when they stopped. A
chunk had been placed in front of the wheel
to prevent the heavy-loaded wagon from
pressing upon the horses, but it is supposed
that the wheel had passed over the chunk
and induced the horses to start. At any
rate, racket was heard by the persons in
the house and, when they looked out, they
saw the horses running towards the house.
The son who had been driving them, and
who met with the accident, rushed for them
and in the attempt to stop the team met
with the severe injury to himself as above
stated. just before reaching the house the
tongue of the wagon broke and the horses
turned to escape the house, but the wagon
kept straight on, butting the heavy load of
lumber against the house, the jar of which
came neal overturning the house. 1t
knocked over bedsteads, caused pictures
hanging upon the wall to drop to the floor,
and left things generally in very confused
state. The crippled boy was getting along
very well at last accounts.

EDITOR GAZETTE:

EDITOR GAZETTE:
Allow me a few jottings. Last Monday
morning 1 boarded the train at this place
for Polk county far for much, especi-
ally its many we'll till'e<5and fertile farms.
On our way thither, over one of the best
pieces of ballasted railroad it has been our
good fortune to travel for some time, in al
most absolute security, we saw many things
of interest in this part of the far-farmed
Willamette. Farm house after farm house
greets the travellers eye, the grain fields
ever and anon waving to the reaper to "put
forth his improved binder" and gather the
golden treasure.
Now the irrepressible brakeman calls out

busy town of some eight or nine hundred

To say the least, much praise is due the peo.

erection Of such handsome church edifice.
May much good be accomplished through
this instrumentaiity. This town has now

Mr.. Burch says he has grown this year the

Powder Burned.

Silas Bales and Ira Mccormack, of Alsea
Valley, were severely burned with powder
on the 4th day of July at that place while
celebrating that day. They were engaged
in firing anvils, and had been doing SO in
rapid succession. They had just discharged
one and were attempting to reload it, and
while in the act Of filling-with powder
which they were pouring from can, the
heat from the anvil caught fire to the pow
der and the whole can was instantly dis
charged while holding 1t in the hand. Both
parties were severely burned about the face
and hands, and presented rather distress
ing sight. They have been slowly recover
ing and are now getting along as well as
could be expected.

ITEMS FROM ELK CITY.

The people here have just commenced
their hay harvest, which is splendid this
season.. Mr.. Bivens has purchased new
Champion mower, the first ever run in this
country.
The telegraph line will soon be up to the
| terminus, and this will put us in communi-
cation with the outside world. This coun-
| try has been in state of suspense for many
years, but now a change has taken place
and we may expect grand things in the near
| future.
The work on the railroad is progressing
| slowly, but surely. In consequence of
this, the country is being settled up with a
thrifty and industrious class of citizens.
The PEOPLE are flocking in here from the
| valley in order to get away from the heat
and to enjoy the rich, salubrious climate of
| this country. The pure, sparkling waters
that rush from the mountain sides into the
ocean, the invigorating air, nice fish that
abound in the rivers, and the game that
roam in the mountains, makes this not only
pleasant place for the sick, but for those
in health as WELL 1 believe person VIII
live twenty years longer by living in such a
climate.
The steamer is expected all the time to
carry the United States mail and ply on the
river between Elk City and Newport.
The accommodating mail contractors,
Messrs. Brink & Wright, are doing good
business, and seem to be the right men in
the right place.
Mr.. B. w. Wilson and his daughter Bell
are here on their way to Newport for the
purpose of recruiting their health and to en-
joy the rich scenery of old ocean.
Mrs. Col. Gates and others are here also
on their way to the beach.
There will be social hop at Marsh Simp-
sons tomorrow night.
Alexander Gillum keeps the best saloon
in town.
Two boarding houses are kept here where
the wants of the inner man can be supplied
with the best the market affords.
Business is looking up and everything
wears an air of prosperity.

A Serious Accident cut with Sickle.

On last Saturday Henry Dunn met with
severe accident near this place, which came
near costing him his life. He was running
q mower, and had climbed down out of the
seat and was attempting to pull some weeds
of from the sickle, when the horses became
frightened and gave sudden start and
threw him On to the sickle Before he could
get the horses stopped, the sickle had cut a
slice of steak off from the fieshy part of the
thigh several inches long and large enough
for . hungry mans breakfast. He got hold
of the lines and succeeded in getting the
l6nto stop, or else the sickle would no
doubt have cut him into mince meat.

Broken Arm.

Unfortunately George Avery fractured
one bone of his right arm during the present
week. Our smelling committee went
around to ascertain in what manner the
accident was done, but was unable to derive
the desired information. He seemed to
borrow but little uneasiness about the
broken arm, for the next evening he tried
to break the man with the torch light en-
tertainment by purchasing quite literally
of his world renowned soap and prize pack
ages. He will recover from the effects of
his broken arm, however, but to recover
from the effects of the prise packages will
require more time.

The riremen at Albany contests and Races

The Firemen at Albany Contests and Races.
On last Tuesday a large number of our
citizens went to Albany to attend the exer-
cises there upon the reception and housing
of new steam fire engine, which had been
recently purchased for one of the Albany
fire companies. Many of our firemen also
went down; some cf them went with the
expectation of entering into contest which
had been proposed by Albany Hook and
Ladder Company. After reaching there
they, together with the Albany firemen and
citizens, repaired to the depot to receive
the noon train. A procession was there
formed from whence they marched to the
firemans hall where each of the Albany
fire departments were presented with hand
some banners from the hands of the ladies
of Albany. The new engine was then
housed with appropriate forms and cerre-
monies. Ali hands then partook of an ex-
cellent dinner which had been specially pre-
pared for the occasion. A contest then
took place between Albany Hook & Ladder
Co. and Corvallis Hook & Ladder Co., each
to run certain distance and place their
ladder in position and the first one to the
top of the ladder was to receive purse of
$40 and the second one in time to receive
purse of SIS. The Albany company ran
first but through a misunderstanding ran
before they had selected all of their judges
and hence they had to run it over again.
This time they made it through in 43 Sec
onds., The second time upon running
through where they attempted to take their
ladder from the truck it caught in some

The workers in Morris & Cox's black

explosion that sounded like the firing of a
heavily charged anvil. The flying debris
about the shop soon conEinced them that
the crack doom had not yet come, and they
commenced an investigation which resulted
in showing up the following facts: In a
