JAKE IN HARD LUCK.
Former Real Estate Man Has ills
Automobile Demolished.

Great Falls Tribune: A large tour
ing car owned by ]. ]. Arthur, the
real estate man of Moore, while
standing on Central avenue in front
of the Tribune building last evening,
was struck by runaway horse and
badly smashed us. A horse hitched
to one of the wagons of the Great
Falls Steam laundry broke loose from
its fastenings and dashing up Central
avenue, crashed into the rear of the
automobile.
The framework of the BODY of the
car was badly damaged and the rear
of the box was lifted from the run
ming gear. The force of contact was
so great that the heavy touring car
was forced several feet forward. The
horse was thrown violently to the
sidewalk but sustained no injuries OF
any importance. 1t appears that the
ends of the thills struck the auto
mobile and it is most remarkable that
there was not particle of damage
to the laundry wagon.

Mr.. Forsyth stated last evening
that it would be necessary to place
a new body on the car He thought
the damage to the car would be al
least $500.

viii Lose His Hand

While out in launch on Young's
River Sunday morning John M.
IVragnizan, one of the drivers of the
Troy Loundry, accidentally shot him-
self in the right hand with shotgun,
and the hand was terribly mangled
In some unexplained manner he had
started to pick the gun up by the
muzzle and it had been discharged.
As soon as possible the young man
vas Brought to St. Mary's hospital
and DR., Fulton there cared for the
wound Last evening the physician
stated that while it was barely pos
sible that the hand might be saved,
that it would even be perhaps just
as we'll if it be not saved, for he
would never have the use of it again
anyway. The charge entered the
palm of the hand, and ranged up
ward, tearing out the bones on one
side of the wrist and forearm, and
destroying the tendons. Q. 0. Hun
saker another employee Of the COM
pany was with the wounded man at
the time of the accident. Last night
| Mr., Hunsaker stated that he did not
know exactly how the accident hap
pened. He was not looking toward
his companion at the time At the
sound of the explosion he turned and
saw what had happened Il left that
darned hammer up again" remarked
Vragnizan as he looked at his bleed
ling hand. 1t seems that he had beer
shooting at cranes and only shor
time before Hunsaker had spoker
about putting the hammer Of th'
gun down in the back Of the launch
with the muzzle pointing to tn,

they happen to be. Yesterday they
made break from the gangway in
the rear of the store, and hustled
through the alleyway, to Bond street,
where the anchor-weight they were
dragging caught on some pro-
lection and threw one Of the animals
when they were siezed and quieted
down and led back to the warehouse.
Half an hour afterward, they took
another crazy spell, smashed the
tongue of the wagon, and broke from
the young man stationed by them to
see that they behaved themselves,
and darting through the alley spun
into Bond s.-.et on the dead run.
They turned east on Bond and swept
to Fourteenth, and in making a
"commodore's sweep" around into
the latter street, they collided with
one OF the stay-poles of the power
company. One of the animals was
hurled toFthe pavement, while the
other took his freedom and sped or
up the hill and disappeared. They
were rounded up and taken back tc
the barn. No other damage was re
ported than the breaking of the wag
on pole, but it is a marvel that some
thing serious did not happen in theil

SCHOOL MA ANS OBJ
.JECT TO EXTRA BURDEN
COMPLAINTS MADE ABOUT
PREPARING EXHIBITS FOR
SEATTLE FAIR.

Among some Of the teachers in the
public schools there is much dissatis-
faction over the recent order Of
Superintendent Clark to make prepa-
rations for the school exhibit TO be
given at the Seattle exposition this
summer. The chief ground Of com
plant lies in the fact that the time for
preparation Is very short only a few
weeks in fact, and these teachers
aver that the work Of preparation will
add a heavy burden to their already
strenuous efforts in the school rooms.
Their principal complaint seems to
be that the time is unreasonably
short, and while none Of them are
talking for publication" neverthe-
less their friends and their friends
friends have been talking for them
But according to some Of the school
authorities there Is another side to
the story. They state that Superin--
endent Clark is not to blame in the
slightest, and that he gave the order
to prepare for the exhibits at the earl
lest possible moment he could.
The reason for the delay in starting
the work seems to have been that the
director Of the educational exhibit at
the exposition, Reuben F. Robinson,
Of Portland, did not send out his
plans and instructions in relation to
the exhibit until week or so ago,
and that until these were received il
was not practicable to commence the
work. II is also stated that as a rule
the Astoria teachers "are not hard
worked" and that they should "be
glad and proud Of an opportunity to
engage i'm the work of getting up an
Astoria exhibit.
The Astorian naturally does not
presume to know anything about the
matter, other than from the informa.
ton gained in the complaints but it is
Iof course to be regretted that some Of
the teachers, at least, feel that the
burden is too hard for them, if for
no other reason that while feeling
that way they are hardly apt to get
the best results out OF their pupils in
preparing for the exhibit. In the work
is actually too hard, doubtless Super
intendent Clark will be glad to make
arrangements to lessen the labors Of
those who think they can't properly
care for the additional work To pre-
pare the exhibits means extra work
for the children, too.
On the other hand, Astoria, as the
second largest city in Oregon, is nat
urally expected to make an exhibit,
and one Of the highest excellence,
too. The county schools do not par
ticipate in the exhibit this time, as
only those schools having two years
2bove the eighth grade are invited to
participate.
