A Peculiar Accident.

The other day peculiar and at the
same time serious accident happened
in which the bay horse owned by the
Continental Oil company at this place
was the victim. The horse had been
left without tying near where the
United Oil company was transferring
sulphuric acid. The acid was being
plped across gateway, through
which the horse decided to take gen
tie walk. The horn of the saddle
canght on the pipe, the pipe broke
aud the acid was spilled over the sad
die and the animals back.
Arthur Vickers who had the horse
'n charge quickly made alkali applica-
tions to neutralize the acid. and the
horse will come out in pretty good
shape. OF course he will have bald
headed back for time.

RECKLESS DRIVING
CAUSES DEATH !!
Pleasure Trip of Florence
Party Ends in Tragedy.
One Person Killed and Five Others
Injured l. Caused by Overturning
of Heavy Spring Wagon
on Lincoln Park.

Oyer Indulgence in beer and conse
quent fast and reckless driving result.
ed in tragedy on Lincoln Park last
evening. in which one person was
killed and five others more or less cut
and bruised.
The party consisted of John Howells
Ellis Davis, and l.. G. Harrington,
employees at the Portland Cement
works and Mrs w. G. Ricketts,, her
daughter Miss Nellie and Mrs. Thomas
Ellis, of Florence.
The men hired three seated rig
at the Pioneer stables about three
O'Clock and after laying in & supply
of liquid refreshments, took in the
women and started for Canon. Sew
eral people who met the rig say they
were very boisterious and were driving
at very rapid rate, cndsuRering
Lighter vehicles that they met
On Lincoln Park the roads are good
and it was not difficult to get up a
good rate of speed.
At the first corner below the Lin
coin school the tragedy occurred.
Mrs. Ellis was driving, and had whip
ped the horses into a run. In turn
ing the corner the inside wheel struck
stone, the buggy careened and its
violently to the ground, some falling
under the heavy buggy top.
Neighbors came hastily to the res
cue, but Mrs. Ellis was beyond human
aid. She was carried into the nearest
house where she died almost imme-
diately her neck being broken. Mrs
Ricketts, face was bruised aud her
left arm was badly sprained Davis
had his upper lip cut open and his
teeth loosened. In fact not one of the
party escaped without some cuts and
bruises.
The Deibert Undertaking company
was notified and they brought the
body of the dead woman to their NOR
que where it now lies Those who
survived were brought. home by
driver from the Pioneer stables.
A rumor is current that the acci-
dent was due to runaway, but such
is not the case. As matter of fact
the team stopped directly after the
accident and according to eye wit
uesses the horses were not from under
the control of the driver at any time.
Mrs. Ellis had been separated from
her husband for some months ana the
body is held at Deibert's awaiting ad-
vices from her parents in Missouri.

this about.

THE VICE OF INTOLERANCE.
WASHINGTON Press.

1t is unpleasant to see the State Reg
lister brand Senator Hoar as a traitor
and pile other abusive epithets on that
on the Philippines last week, he was
unfortunate in nit being able to agree
with Clarkson. The Press can not
share the distinguished senator's gen.
,eral view, and thinks he is out of all
focus with fact, is not practical. is a,l
idealist. but that he is sincere and hon
eBt no just man can doubt. He is man
of the very highest character and abil-
ity and attainmentS, and why should
not the privilege of free thought and
free speech be accorded to this emf
nent free man? He no doubt voiced the
sentiments of tens of thousands of
thoughtful, honest Americans. and 1t is
narrow and vulgar to jump on such a
man with hob-nailed brogans and
throw fish-wife language at such a
man. A great newspaper like the Reg
lister should be too broad to treat Hoar
that way. Answer his argument, but
dc not berate him. He is as sincere a
man as Clarkson is, and critic is al
ways self endorsed when he abandons
criticism and resorts to vituperation.
The Press no more believes in Hoar's
view than does the State Register, but
II always delights to read that scholar
u idealists speeches. What If one does
not agree with him? AS this is a free
country, why not let sincere, honest
men think and speak freely, without
vulgarly abusing them? Intolerance is
about the worst vice we know.
