An Almost Fatal Runaway Accident

Richard Craig, son of John Craig Of
Macleay, was seriously Injured this
afternoon at 1:30 by runaway acci-
dent.
He was loading door frames at the
Stapleton planning mills when the
team became frightened by yard en-
gine of the s. p. Co. and ran away,
crossing no State to Commercial street,
then up Chemeketa. Craig jumped out
while the horses were runuing at dead
gallop, striking his shoulders and head.
He was picked up unconscious at the
alley on Front ard Commercial streets,
and carried into the Red Front drug
store.
DR.. Smith was present and after half
an hour was able to rcsuSitate him.
One shoulder seems badly bruised and
wrenched, otherwise there are 10 in
juries. 1t is thought Mr.. Craig can be
taken to his home this afternoon.
Richard Craig is single man about
80, and was hauling lumber for house
which he is building on his fathers
place. His father, John Craig, was in
town with him but went home a short
time before.
The team and wagon were not in
jured. At 8 p. m. Mr.. Craig rests easy.
