Roy Raber of our town has had a very
sore arm and hand for atleast couple of
weeks. 1t had swollen to unusual proper
tions several days ago and had broken open
at the wrist discharging very freely through
an aperture nearly as large as the end OF
the thumb. Since which time at several
places between the wrist and shoulder it
commenced swelling very badly which to
some extent the physicians have succeeded
in getting checked. The Drs. are not
agreed as to the precise nature cf it. To
say the least it looks like it may be a
dangerous affair.

ALMOST A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Horse and Rider Rolls down Steep Hillside
Together,

One day last week while our marshal
Pygall with his family and Mr. Hyte with
his team were on their way to the bay, Mr.
Hyte stopped the team at narrow place in
the road and on the lower side of the hill;
it was almost perpendicular, the fern and
thimble berry bushes had grown up SO
thick as to conceal how steep the bluff was.
At about the same time Miss Anna Owens
who is engaged in teaching school at Porters
came riding along on horseback, and not
thinking what danger was soon to follow,
she attempted to ride around the wagon on
the lower hillside there being about two
feet between the wagon and the tall fern.
No sooner did she attempt it than her horse
slipped off the grade with his hind feet
and commenced falling; as quick as flash
she sprang of on the upper hill side while
the horse went rolling down the precipice
below. In jumping off, however, she was
not able to regain her foothold and she also
went slidingsdown quickly following the
horse. They only went in this direction
about fifteen feet when the two lodged
against the heavy growth of fern and brush.
The horse lying on his back with all heels
up and Miss Owens down close to him.
Mr.. J. w. Williams who was present and
Mr.. Hyte Immediately went to the assis-
tance of the young lady and succeeded in
getting her out of the difficulty unhurt but
considerably scared. They afterwards got
fhoh al- tbo. 10 he foo
not damaged. Had the horse not been
very kind and gentle animal he would like
ly have seriously crippled Miss Owens.
Instead of kicking and tumbling about like
horse kind is apt to do under such circum-
stances. he remained perfectly quiet until
Miss Owens was assisted away from under
his heels.

A Nice Piece Of Work.

BY chance we dropped into the harness
shop of S. A. Hemphill this week when
our eye fell upon the bed and top part of a
new carriage which was just receiving the
finishing touches of one of the incest and
most complete leather tops we have ever
seen. 1t was composed of the best quality
of enameled leather nicely stitched and
lined with blue all wool cloth made pur-
posely for such work. The seats were
trimmed with leather in the most neat and
durable manner. The top was put on by
Master Cameron and is for livery-man King.

Roy Raber who has been afflicted for
several days with swollen arm. went to
Portland last Monday to take medical adj
vice there. After his arrival he consulted
DR.. Geesling. From last reports of the
Dr's. oppinion of his condition it would
seem that it is anything but fattering. 1t
would seem from the best information to
be gained that there is great danger of los
ing his arm, and some danger of his life
Mr.. Raber haa host of warm friends here
whose sorrow will be great on account of
his afaiction. 1t is to be hoped that his
sickness is viewed in the worst possible
light as to results, and that it will prove not
to be so bad and that he will soon be well
again.

Another Serious Accident to the Steamer
Rant0n.

Frank Irwin returned from Yaquina bay
last Monday night, sooner than he expected
when he went away. The company for
which he is employed being scarce of men
he returned to attend to business. We are
informed by him that the i'll fated steamer
Benton, which was beached there few
days ago, was again brought across the
point about two miles and again launched
on Saturday night near where the break
water had been built In putting her into
the water she struck the sandy bottom and
tilted over in such condition that nothing
could be done that evening to right her up.
During the night the action of the water
EMBEDDED her still further and washed her
part full of sand, sinking her completely,
and bursting off some of her planking. It
is intended to raise her again. A few acci-
dents like she has had of late and one would
think she would be total wreck.
