M E r LIN

Friday noon . few of the Merlin
people witnessed one Of the most
horrible accidents that ever happened
here. Worrel Short. the 14.year -old
son Of the merchant, Charles Short,
was dragged little distance, thrown
under the horses feet and instantly
killed by a runaway team. Worrel
was about ready to do some delivering
from his fathers store, when he
jumped on one Of the horses or fell
over the dashboard on one of them,
frightening the team and causing
them to go kicking and plunging
down the street. The unfortunate
boy tried to cling to the harness but
his body was exposed to the heels of
one horse and he could not hold on
many seconds. His father and sister
witnessed the accident but, like
others, we're unable to do anything.
The boy was taken to his home,
where kind friends did all they could
to comfort the grief stricken family.
Saturday evening the family started
to Portland with their dead and will
lay him beside his mother. who died
last May. Worrel had made many
friends among our people by his
bright, manly ways. and will be
greatly missed, especially by his play
mates. No one will ever be able to
forget the manner by which he met
his death.
Mrs. d. W. Mitchll. is in Grants
Pass very i'll of pneumonia. Mr.
Mitchell spent Sunday at her bedside
and reports her a little better. We
trust that she will soon recover.
The teachers from here all attended
the Teachers Institute in Grants
Pass last week, returning Friday
evening. Miss Stella Paddock, the
teacher from Galice. also came in on
Friday evening and went by stage
to Galice on Saturday.
Tom Emery, the jolly bachelor from
Gslice passed through here on his
way home n few days ago. He has
been in Portland several weeks.

day says:
Passenger rates on all railroads Of the
United States will be reduced to cents

begin July /.

cussion by the leading railroad presidents

mediately.
Following the meeting, officials of several
roads admitted that they had been forced
to bow to public opinion and anti-railroad
legislation. They said that no further
fight would be made on the 2-cent laws
oalready passed, and that the roads would
accept the inevitable.
Among those who are said to have attend
ed the secret meeting were President B. l..
Winchell of the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific and President A. ]. Earling Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. Neither
would discuss the question last night.

What do you think Of the Presidents 8

outlined in his recent speech at Indian
apolis?"
How can we Judge It? He talked both
ways. Evidently when he thought Of Har-

pen. and when he forgot him. his disposi-

Sc you see you can take that speech both

thing is evident. that is. that the railroads
have to obey the laws. That Is good for
them"
DO you see any hard times headed this
