at Pickering electric light and ran
down the bridge toward Commercial
street, the driver having lost control
of them. Mr.. McNary, thinking to
save himself by getting clear of the
carriage, attempted to jump out, but
became entangled in the wheel and
was thrown violently to the floor of
the bridge He was stunned by the
fall and suffered deep cut over one
eye. The team ran distance of four
blocks before the driver got it under
control. None of the other members

BOTH EYES BLOWN OUT
Arthur Baker Meets Horrible Acct.
dent While Blasting Stumps
Near independence.

Within a quarter of a mile Of the
spot where Curtis Baker was blown to
pieces with dynamite little more
than a year ago, Arthur Baker, a
brother, lost his eye-sight and came
near meeting the same fate with the
explosive Saturday afternoon.
John Hazleton was engaged in
blasting out stumps for the new road
that is being opened up into the
district Of the Walker Bros hop
yards. Baker came along and Halle
ton not feeling well employed Baker
to touch off five blasts he had yet for
the day. The fuse to one dynamite
stick was slow to burn and apparently
went out. One had acted similarly
with Baker the day before when he
was blasting for R. d. Cooper, and in
this instance he ventured up near the
stump, and, when within only a few
feet, the explosion took place.
Baker was blinded, bis face dis
figured with powder, dirtburied under
the skin, and a bone in the hand was
broken. DR.. Butler was summoned
and dressed his face and he was
placed in a buggy and taken to the
Salem hospital. l.-Independence West

c. q. COad Is Recommended to Suc-
ceed Himself as Postmaster
at Dallas,

A recommendation was sent to
President Roosevelt, Wednesday, by
United States Senator Fulton, indors-
ing Chester G. Coad for re-appoint-
ment as Postmaster at Dallas. The
appointment Of Mr.. Coad to succeed
himself had been generally expected,
and will meet the approval Of every
patron Of the office.
Mr.. Coad is native son Of Polk
county, having been born and raised
in Dallas. After completing his edu-
cation, be spent several years in
Eastern Oregon, and afterwards
entered the employ of the Government
as a surveyor In 1883, he received
the Republican nomination for Clerk
of Polk County, and was elected by
handsome majority. He proved a
capable and efficient officer, and was
reelected in 1900 by larger majority
than before. At the end of his term
in 1902, he entered the employ of the
Dallas City Bank, as Cashier, and
served in that capacity about two
years. During this time the Rickreall
FIGURING Mill came into possession Of
M. M. Ellis, President of the Bank,
and Mr.. Coad resigned his position as
Cashier to take charge of the Office
work of the mill company He re-
mained in this position until in the
late '9Os, when he received an appoint
ment as Assistant Doorkeeper of the
United States Senate. 1t was while
filling the last-named position in
Washington City, that he received the
appointment as Postm aster at Dallas.
In all these various capacities, Mr..
Coad has served his employers faith
fully and efficiently. As Postmaster,
he has been courteous and obliginP,
and has conducted the office in such
manner as to make it a pleasure to
transact business there. The an
nouncement Of his appointment for
another four-year term will be good
news to his many friends, not only in
Dallas, but throughout the state.

KILLED BY FALLING TREE
Theodore Mossi Meets Almost
Instant Death While Work.
ing in Logging Camp.

Theodore Mossi, we'll and favorably
known in Polk county, was killed in a
logging camp near Arlington. Wash,
a few days ago. His death was caused
by one of those sad accidents which
frequently happen to even the most
expert men engaged in logging, being
crushed to death by falling tree.
His brother Joseph, who was fifty
miles away when the accident occurred
was notified, and the remains were
taken to Everett for burial. The vic
tim OF the accident was SO years old,
and was a most exemplary young
man. He came to the United States
from Switzerland IS years ago. By
patient industry and frugal habits, he
had laid up several thousand dollars
In the bank, besides sending money
from time to time to his aged parents
In Europe. He owned a timber claim
In Polk county, and a homestead in
Lincoln county, the land officers at
Oregon City having instructed his
brother Joseph to make final proof
on this claim.
Although at the time of the fatal
accident the two brothers were not
working in the same camp, they were
almost inseparable companions and
did much work together in improving
their homesteads. 1t is with sad
heart that Joseph goes back to his
cabin in the mountains of Lincoln
county, and he has the sympathy of
many friends.
