The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1900-05-11
A regular cbapter of accidents han

ear (but it was replaced by the doctor)
and was nearly scalped; the accident
on the Haynes hill, in which Charley
Wallace had an arm and several ribs
broken and VIM. Ellis escaped with
serious bruises in a runaway; the ac-
cideEt to Charley Rathbone, who was
helping to unload q car Of lumber, when.
a skid board tipped up and struck him in
the face, breaking his nose and cutting a
cash above the eye; and the runaway
accident at Fiento, in which S. W.
Curran suffered broken leg. In an epi-
demic of accidents like that of last week
doctors and undertakers may be happy,
but timid people feel like going home
and crawling under the bed.
The young men OF Hood River are
talking of celebrating the 4th of July in
Hood River in becoming style. We ought
to have an old-fashioned celebration this
year and invite the people OF the sur
rounding country to come and celebrate
with us. An orator of state reputation
should be employed and some one se-
lected to read the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence, after which games could be
INDUCED in and prizes offered for foot
races and other sports. We have band
we are all proud of, and it should be en-
ployed for the occasion. The young
men will call a public meeting soon, and
as we are all interested all should at
tend and help start the ball rolling for
grand celebration. Let US celebrate.
Chas. Grodt was d man of quiet dis
position and of sober and indurtrious
habits. He had no relatives in this
state but children of half brother are
living in Iowa. He also has brothers
living in Germany. He was at work
clearing on 80 acres of land which he
owned when he met his death. 1t seems
that his death was caused by delayed
explosion of giant powder His tools for
putting in the shot were stacked some
distance from the stump, and it seems
possible that he had returned, think
ing it was not going off. The force OF
the explosion hurled him so feet, and
death was evidently instantaneous.
