RUNAWAY ACCIDENT IN DECORIA
FATAL TO A BOY.
Oscar Rand, Aged Eleven Years Thrown
Out of Vehicle on His Head;
Charles Schultz Sustains a Cut on
Lip and Earl Trainor Escapes In
Jury; Horse Takes Fright and
Dashes Down Moves Hill.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
A fatal runaway accident occurred
on the Noyes hill, in Decoria township
about eight miles southeast of this
city, this morning at about $3.50
o'clock, resulting in the death of an
eleven year old boy named Oscar
Rand, and the slight injury of another
and the narrow escape of a third.
Rand made his home with his grand
mother, Mrs. Sarah Matthews, in De-
coria and was accustomed to drive to
the cream station, at the foot of
the Noyes hill, every morning with
William Matthews horse and buggy
and deliver milk at the station Some
times he would be accompanied by
other boys. This morning he was
accompanied by Earl Trainor, the
twelve year old son of Omri L. Train
or, and Charles, the five year old boy
of Charles Schultz.
One of the Thills Broke.
In going down the Noyes HILL to-
ward the station, one of the thills
broke and the horse ran away. 1t
was a wicked run, and when the horse
reached the farm of Fayette Wilder,
u mile away, where it was stopped
the buggy was a complete wreck, only
one wheel being left and the rest
mostly fit for kindling wood The
horse was slightly injured about the
legs.
Mr.. Schultz, the manager of the
creamery, saw the horse coming and
feared that those in the buggy had
been injured. He had notified his
little son several times not to ride
in the buggy, but the boy had per-
sisted. So, when he saw the runaway.
Mr.. Schultz rushed up the hill, and
found young Rand lying unconscious
in the road, The boy had fallen
out and struck upon his head on the
hard road, and had evidently broken
his neck. There was a large bunch
upon the top of his head, but the
neck seemed to have no strength in
it.
Died in Twenty Minutes.
MIR. Schultz picked the lad up and
carried him to the creamery and pour
ed cold water on his head, which re-
vived him little, but after that he
sank rapidly and died in about twenty
minutes. A doctor had been telephoned
for to this city, but when the boy
died the order was countermanded.
Charles Schultz was thrown out, but
fell down the ravine, into softer dirt,
and his only injury was skinned
hip. Earl Trainor, as the runaway
passed threshing outfit, reached out
and caught hold of the grain rack
that projected toward him, and held
tightly and was safely dragged from
the buggy and escaped without in
jury.
The boy who was killed was a son
of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Rand of Ma
della. He was driving the horse
Arrangements for the funeral have
not yet been made.

just why Beverly was selected as a
summer home by the president is an
unanswered question. Two possible rea-
sons push to the front. One is that
it is about as quiet a point as could
be found within easy communication
of large city, and the other that it
was chosen because of the fact that
many of the Washington friends of
the president and his family spend
the summer here.
Some of tnose who recommended
Beverly from actual experience are
Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Boardman and
Miss Boardman of Washington; Mrs.
Longworth, the mother of Representa-
tive Longworth, and Mr.. John Hays

my morning Soufhhs cpes'hi Ao"sco V"st
Washington. Jan. 1l.-An increase
OF the navy to the extent OF $50, 0o0,-
o0O vas agreed upon today by the
house committee on naval affairs.
The following naval program for APP
preparation at this session was adopt
ed b.. the committee,
Two battleships Of $4,000 tons dis
placement. $4,000 600.
Five torpedo boat %destroyers. $i.-
600. 600.
Three Golfers, 50, 600. 900.
-Four submarines. 81, 000. 600.
one s~ub-surface boat. $4,000.
Two hattleships are recommended
by the committee instead OF four. as
estimated for by the navy depart
ment.
The estimate for d%cstroyers was
cut in half. the navy department ask
ing for ten.
An ammunition ship. a repair ship
and two mine laying ships, estimated
for by the navy department.. We're re-
fused by the committee,
The estimates for the three golfers
and the four submarine boats were
agreed to cxcent that the committee
added one sub-surface boat.
only three members voted for h
authorization OF he construction OF
four 10000 ton battleships. The oth-
en- fifteen members voted for only two.
The committee otherwise cut down
the estimates submitted by the navy
department SO that instead OF author
izing an increase OF the navy by an
appropriation OF S63, $50, 900, II will be
increased only by $29, 900. 900 or 500
600, 600.
The committee was almost unani-
nous for the appropriation for the
five torpedo BOAT destroyers, each to
cost $500, 600. Two members voted
FOR two scout cruisers, the navy de-
partmcnt asking for five TO cost $2.-
500, 600 each. Chairman Foss was
the only nan who opposed h au-
thorization of -four submarines at
$500 600 each. The committee was
well united on the proposition to au-
thorizc the construction OF three col
Tiers AT the cost of 81. 600. 900 each.
If the committee needs the advice
OF Secretary Newberry. neither of the
big battlcships will be constructed at
a navy yard. He stated that the col
lier the government is building at the
Mare Island navy yard IL costing
much more thar the estimated cost OF
a collier purchased from private
firms.
