South Bend. His tour is a tri-annual

The five mills operated by his company

HURT AT DEEP RIVER
Miss Vaughn Falls From a Logging
Train. Receiving Serious Injuries.


Yesterday afternoon a party of young
ladies were riding down into Deep River
on Brix' logging train, in full enjoy.
ment OF the day and the journey, when
suddenly the coupling between two of
the trans broke and the section on
which they were sitting began to pound
into the forward end OF the train with
such violence as TO dislodge the entire
party of four. Three of the young wo.
men sprang safely TO the ground, but
Miss Vaughn, one of the group, fell off
and sustained serious injuries. Her
collar bone was fractured and her left
foot was caught under the wheels of the
moving train, smashing the fore part
of il so badly as to make amputation
of several toes necessary.
She was given the promptest and best
aid at hand, and Us soon as il was pos.
sible to move her into Deep River, she
was taken there and boat placed at
her disposal for journey to this city.
This was undertaken, but on the way
the boat was met by the Shamrock,
whose captain, TO the credit of his good
sense and kindly feeling, turned and
gave tow Astoria.
The injured lady and her friends ar.
rived here about s o'clock and she went
to st. Mary's hospital where her
wounds were attended to by Doctors
Tuttle and Fulton and she was made as
easy as circumstances would permit.
The wounded foot will probably be op.
Grated upon today, II II is found to be
absolutely essential. The fractured col.
lar bone was set at once and every.
thing done to make her comfortable for
the night.
