FELL OVER A PRECIPlCE.
J. S. Thickens the Victim of Seri-
Gus Accident.

A very seaious and nearly fatal
accident occurred last evening
about six o'clock, as a result of
which, j. S. Thickens, the lumber
man, is in precarious condition
today.
Mr.. Thickens was driving along
on the mesa North of the river with
load of lumber. East of the
bridge about mile is a dangerous
piece of road, being very near the
edge of the bluff and decidedly
rough. 1t was at this point that
one of the horses pulled out to the
side and the wagon was thrown
over the edge, dragging the team
and driver with it, all rolling over
and over to the river bottom one
hundred feet below.
Mr. Thickens says when he saw
the wagon WAS going he attempted
to jump but his feet caught in the
reins and he couldn't get away.
Two boys who were in the mea-
dow below saw the accident and
fording the river, hurried to the
scene. They found the man seri-
ously injured and one of them ran
back to town for assistance. When
physician arrived he found that
one hip was dislocated, two ribs
broken, deep cash had been cut
on the side of the head and more
or less serious internal injury was
feared.
Mr.. Thickens was brought to
the home of Thos. Roberts, East
Main street, where he is receiving
all proper care Mrs. Thickens is
visiting relatives in the East, but
as the unfortunate man is not con-
sidered in any danger today she
will not be telegraphed for.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Secretary
Alger said that yesterdays battle at
Quinga had not altered the plans of the
department in any degree. Gen Otis,
Gen. Lawton, Admiral Dewey and the
Philippine Commission all were fully
authorized to deal with the situation
IN the Philippines according to their
best Judgment, and the department be-
lleved it would be good policy to re-
fraln from meddling unnecessarily
The Secretary said that if Otis wants
more troops he shall have them and
that meantime the department will
make every effort to hasten the relief
of the volunteers by regular soldiers.
