RUNAWAY ACCIDENTS.
Three Runaways at One Time Starting Near Choctaw Depot In Which Fred Reeder and Edwin Taylor
 Were Seriously Injured.

One of the worst runaway accidents
 ever happening in Newport, occurred Wednesday afternoon shortly after five o'clock, in which two boys were
 seriously injured and narrowly es- capped death. One team frightened by Choctaw train started a series of runaways, which for a time threatened several lives and ended in severe in- juries for Fred Reeder and Edwin
 Taylor and the damage of several ve- hicles.
 The dray wagon of Eulis Reeder, driven by his fourteen-year-o old
 brother Fred, was approaching the west entrance to the bridge, when
 the team became frightened at the
 engine of the branch freight, which
 was switching in the yards, and wheeled around to make a dash up
 Lake Avenue. The boy driver was
 thrown out, followed by the wagon
 bed. Young Reeder was quite badly injured, one rib being broken, his
 knee strained and his chest slightly crushed.
 While still on Lake Avenue, the
 runaway team came very nearly col liding with Huffman's Bakery wagon,
 but this team turned about and headed the procession down the street.
 At Younger's shop, the surrey of J. o. Taylor was being repaired, the horse being attached to the rig at the time. Three of the children, Edwin, Frank and Ethel were seated in the vehicle, but Edwin seeing the coming runaways, jumped down to hold the horse which was faced south Tbe animal became frightened and wheeled about, throwing the plucky little fellow who held onto the bridle into the street, where he would have been run over by the bakery wagon, had not Felix Henderson, a colored employe of the shop, managed to turn that team toward the other side VI Iilo ooAOOO' Duo UuC IUUI0 I0uOW was struck by the dray wagon which followed and knocked senseless to the ground.
 He was taken into the Younger home where physicians were called and administered to his injuries, which consisted of bad gash in the side of his head which bled profusely, blow behind the ear and numerous scratches.
 When the dray and bakery wagons passed the Taylor horse, he joined in the run, but turned up Second Street instead of First, as did the two first named. At the side of w. R. Thomp- sons residence, the rig struck post, throwing the two other children out upon the ground, and disengaging the | horse and surrey. Neither of the children were hurt beyond a few bruises and scratches.
 The Reeder and Huffman teams were given right of way down Front Street, the former being stopped in l front of L. B. Harris store, the wagon total wreck. The bakery team turned when Walnut Street was reached and ran to Remmel Ave. The | top of the wagon was badly broken up and Huffman's bread was adver- tised from one end of town to the | other, in the samples scattered.
 The Lake Avenue crossing on the Choctaw needs watchman, for the fact that train cannot be seen until one reaches the track, owing to the houses that block the view upon either side, is responsible for these serious runaway accidents.

LOSES
CASE
Supreme Court Finds FOR
Electric Company.
In Suit for Conversion OF
Funds Other Cases

The Oregon state supreme court al
noon today handed down four opih
Ions, as follows:
Salem Light & Traction Company
corporation, respondent, vs.. f. Il
Anson, appellant; appeal from from
Marion county; G. II. Burnett, judge;
opinion by Justice Bean; affirmed
This was an action to recover S5,'
582.1S in money, that was alleged to
have been converted by Ansen to his
own use. while acting as manager OF
the CORPORATION. In the lower court
Judgment for the plaintiff corporation
was rendered for $3561OS. The prin'
cipal question decided is whether one
can recover money that has been con
yerted without definitely establishing
its identity, and describing the con
yerted funds. On this question, the
court finds that, from the nature OF
things. It was an impossibility Tor the
plaintiff corporation to describe with
reasonable certainty the identical
money alleged to have been converted
by the defendant, and holds that 1t
was unnecessary to supply the identl'
fication. "The conversion" says Jus.
tice Bean. consisted of distinct acts
done by virtue Of the confidential re-
lations existing between the plaintih
and the defendant. These separate
acts may not be capable Of either ale.
cation or proof, but the aggregate re
suit is, and that constitutes the con
version"
State of Oregon, respondent VS.. !
James Aiken. appellant; appeal from
Washington county; f. A. Mcbride, |
Judge; opinion by Chief Justice
Moore; reversed and remanded for

plices after the homicide in the alb.
sence Of the defendant, Aiken De.
fendant further alleged that the err
ror was not cured by the subsequent
instruction to the jury On these |
grounds the judgment Of the lower
court was reversed.
Amos Nelson, plaintiff in error, ap. !
pelant, vs.. Yamhill county, defend. |
ant in error, respondent; appeal from
Yamhill county; r. p, Boise, Judge
opinion by Justice Bean; affirmed
This was a proceeding by writ OF
review, to annul and set aside the ac.
ton Of county court in locating and
establishing a county road. The only
question for decision was whether the
terminus Of the road was sufficiently
specified In the petition for It's loca.
tion, and the court finds that the petl
ton was definite and sufficient in
itself.
State OF Oregon, respondent. VS..
James l.. Warren, appellant; appeal
from Multnomah county; NJ. CI
