The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1892-07-22

occurred on the Santiam company's rail,
way Wednesday, which at one time
threatened serious results. The first car
loaded with logs started out from the
dam upon Ford creek, with Talt Dawes
managing the brakes, who stopped his
car Tor some cause or other, when about
hall way down the line, and few min
utes later Joe Stitish started down the
grade with his car, but could not stop
owing to not being able to use the sec
ond break, which was covered by an
extra long log. And the car rushed with
more than usual speed, striking Dawes
car with wonderful force. Dawes saw it
coming and not being able to get out OF
the way, jumped for smoother territory
The head car was sent ahead by the col.
iision with such force that it ran down
and off the end of the track, while the
rear car rested with pair OF trucks off
the rails. Stitish turned several sum
mersaults when the car struck, being
thrown about 25 feet, receiving quite
severe injuries, and now is sporting with
a lame bruised shoulder, q cut face and
sore head. The tack is about a miles
long, nearly all down grade and at some
places quite decen:.-Gazette.
