Heenan, bookkeeper at the EN- pori.
um, San Francisco, met his death to-
day while driving. He, in company
with his fancee, Miss Galloway, OF
San Francisco, drove out to Ferndale
Springs in a double team. Instead OF
turning the team in the place provided
on the grounds, he attempted to tarn
it into a narrow place on the bank OF
the ravine. The team went over the
bank and landed in the creek at the
bottom with young Heenan under
meath. Miss Galloway jumped and
saved herself as the team went over.
She was compelled to go mile for
assistance, and it was an hour before
the body was recovered.
