Perry Hollett met with painful acci
of Goldendale last Wednesday. He was at
TEN pting to clean the shavings out from
under the saw when his hand was caugh
and all of the little finger on his right hant
land about half of the next one was severed
from his hand. 1t simply took slice of
| commencing back near the wrist and run
ming dlagonallv across the second finger
DIR. Bonebrake fixed it up for him, but 1t i
terrible sore, he says.
| We have reason to believe that Charley
Helm was one of the victims of the recent
cyclone in Dakota wherein Northern Pa
citic traia was wrecked. There were larg,
number of passengers badly hurt, ant
among the number the dispatches mention
one C. r. Helm, of Ellensburgh who hat
| his knee hurt and was otherwise bruised
Charley's initials were G. l., but this mis-
take could easily be made in the hurry of s
reporter, and aside from it being known
here that he was going east. his hailing from
ElIensburgh, in a great measure, confirms
our opinion. We certainly hope his injur
les are not serious.
A very painful accident happened to Mrs
McCarty, an old lady about 80 years old,
who lives with her son, Clark McCarty, on
the John Marble farm about mile from
town some days ago, which eluded the Wig
lance OF our reporter. She was attempting
to stake calf out in the field when the rope
in some manner became twisted around one
of her fingers Just as the calf made break
for liberty. The result was that one joint
of the finger was torn off entirely and fell
to the ground. The old lady was possessed
of a good deal of nerve, as she is said to
have picked up the piece and after exam
lining it throwed it away and walked to the
house. She came down to DR.. Bonebrake 8
office and he dressed the wound for her,
and although he has not seen her since, he
hears from her every day and it Is healing up
very nicely.
A Swede by the name of John Erickson
was brought up to GoldeEdale last Monday
by John c. Berry and David K. Clark Of
Hartland and charged with insanity. He
was examined before Probate Judge Dun
bar or that evening and committed to the
asylum at Steilacoom, where he was taken
by Sheriff Van Vactor ON Tuesday. 1t Is a
very peculiar and sad case. He Is not
necessarily an insane man, but is suffering
apparently from partial paralysis of the
brain. He can't gather his wits together,
nor give a coherent account of himself. He
is . man of fair education and told MIR.
Clark that in the old codntry his name
would be Southerland; he had two hrothers,
the name of ons was Northerland and the
other was Westerland, if there had been an
other his name would have been Easterland.
He was perfectly harmless and honest, al
ways particular to pay for everything he
gets and has been wandering aimlessly
around through the High Prairie country
for three or four weeks
Silverton APpeat: On the road between
Mehama and Stayton we met an old gentle
man whom we found to be quite remarka-
BILE man. We had met the old gentleman
about fifteen months before in Silyerton but
he did not know US, though we recognized
him. The old man is logger who stops up
near Gates, and can log equal to most of the
men in the woods; is healthy and strong,
except feeling the weight OF old age occasion
ally One of the animals belonging to the
logging team got away and came down to
within one mile of Stayt)n when tie old
man overlook him afoot. having Travelled
twenty miles since morni 1g, and whtn we
met him he thought of getting back that
evening, making walk of forty miles in
fourteen or fifteen hours. His name is l.
Force, is an old Wisconsin logger, tough as
a pine knot, and was born in 1901.
