CHAPTER Of ACCIDENTS

and picked up for dead. He was ta-
ken to the office of the city physician
and taken from there to the hospital
A gaping scalp wound in the temple
was sewed up, he soon regained con-
sciousness and today seems to be on
the road to recovery.
The third accident victim is George
Lubbes, aged 81 years and claiming
no particular place as his home. Ac-
cording to the story told by Lubbes
and people who happened to be at
the depot when the accident happen
ed, about 1880 this morning, the
young man was waiting for west
bound passenger train No. s. He had
wandered south on Main street to kill
time and when he undertook to come
back to the depot freight train bar
red his path. Without waiting for
the train to pass, he attempted to
cross between the box cars. Just as
he was stepping on the bumpers"
they separated, allowing his foot to
drop between them and then came
together again with a jam.
Notwithstanding the excruciating
pain he was undergoing the young
man swung himself on through to the
depot platform and then summoned
assistance. A cab was called and he
was taken to the hospital.
The point of the foot was so badly
crushed that 1t will probably be ne
cessary to amputate a large part OF
1t.
Though Lubbes has no place that
he calls home, he has relatives In
Nyssa, Oregon, and these have been
notified Of the accident.

today awaiting developments OF the
extremely critical situation in South
America between Peru and Ecuador.
a war between these two republics is
regarded as almost certainty, un-
less the United States interferes and
brings pressure to bear. It is expect
ed that Peru will soon break off her
diplomatic relations with Colombia
because Colombia has offered to aid
Ecuador in the event of war between
the two nations.

JURY MAY
Be UNABLE TO AGREE
CASE OF BANK VS..
BRANWELL IN DOUBT
Judge Bean Advised Verdict Favor
ing Farmers & Traders Bank But
Jury Hesitates-Arguing Indian
Cases Today.

Though the Jury in the case of the
Farmers and Traders bank against
F. C. Bramwell has been out since
about II o'clock this morning, no YER
dict has yet been agreed upon and the
belief is growing about the court
house that a hung jury will be the
result
This was a case in which F. c.
Bramwell had given his "accommo-
dation" note to ]. w. Scriber for the
Farmers & Traders National Bank of
La Grande. Bramwell claims that it
was given an an accommodation to
Scriber while the attorneys for the
banks receiver allege that it was given
to the bank and that he should be
held accountable to the bank for it.
With the exception that the defen-
dant had made some payments to the
bank on the note and that the note
read payable TO the bank, the bulk OF
the evidence seemed to show that the
note was given as an accommodation to
Scriber, since he had given his own
note and some stock to Bramwell as
collateral.
In giving his instructions to the
jury, Judge r. S. Bean exercised the
prerogrative of a federal court judge
and declared that it was the opinion
or the court that the jury should find
for the bank. Evidently, however,
the instructions of the court are not
being followed literally since a verdict
in accordance with his instructions
would have been brought in immedi-
ately. The delay is taken as an indi-
cation that it will either be a huns
jury or that the verdict will be in IA

CRAVE QUESTIONS
CONCERN VATICAN
Situation in Spain and Health
of the Pope Are Now
Uppermost.
BY CLEMENT J. BARRETT
ccial Cable to The Tribune.

Special Cable to The Tribune.
ROME, July 1e.-The situation in Spain
and the health of the pope are causing
serious concern In the vatican. 1t is
feared that there is now little chance for
an amicable adjustment OF the Spanish
situation. Cardinal Merry Del. Val has
placed the church In a position from
which ii cannot recede without serious
loss of prestige, and it is feared the
Spanish government will be impelled TO
go much further along the way OF the
separation OF church and state than II
was at first intended. The situation has
weighed heavily on the mind OF the pope
and has caused serious breakdown In
his physical condition. 1 understand. In
fact, that those close to the holy fether
take a most serious view Of his condi-
'tion and would not be surprised at any
time II he should break down entirely.

public was a notable event. DR.. Saeuz

friendship between the two countries. 1t
hns been due largely to his efforts that
steady stream OF italian immigration
has been turned to the South American
republic. 1t is thought altogether likely
that when he assumes the presidency
special spets will be taken to attract
more Italians to Argentina by offering
special inducements to settlers,
