DALLAS BOY LOSES WHEEL
West Salem Stage Driver Fined For
Running Him Down.

The desire of Joe Underwood, 6
stage driver, to catch a Falls City
train July rs, cost him SIS in Justice
Webster's court yesterday AS an Incl
dent of his flight to the terminal of the
Dallas, Falls City & Western railway
he is charged with knocking down Pa2
Phillips, a bicyclist, tapping him in
the back with the wagon tongue,
smashing the youths wheel and con-
tinuing on at his festive gait to the
station without showing proper con.
cern as to the boys injuries.
Underwood who is the proprietor of
a stage line between Salem and West
Salem, was represented by Attorney
Thomas Brown and produced a couple
of witnesses who were passengers on
that occasion, and who testified that
Underwood was going at slow rate of
speed. The testimony, however, was
not given much weight by the jury as
the said witnesses being in haste to
reach the West Salem depot, would
naturally fancy the rate of speed very
slow. The boy, Paz Phillips, is little
Spanish lad, who lives at Dallas, and
had invested SIS in the bicycle de-
molished, the loss of which grieved
him more apparently than the punct-
ure between the shoulder blades given
him by the wagon tongue. He was
represented by Attorney Guy Smith,
who made a convincing argument in
up the case.-Salem States
man.

ELECTION PRINTING READY
State Printer Begins Sending Out
Pamphlets to Voters.

State Printer Duniway began de-
livering the election pamphlets to the
secretary of state Tuesday morning
and the big task of mailing them out
to 100000 registered voters has start
ed A force of about 20 girls has been
installed in the hall of representatives
filling envelopes, sealing and stamping.
The envelopes were addressed in ad-
vance as rapidly as the registration
was received from the county clerks.
Registration returns are coming in
slowly. While the secretary of states
office expected return of about 145,-
600 names before the primaries only
about $4,000 have been received up to
date and the rush of the few days left
for registering is not expected to bring
the total number of registered voters
far above 100000 before the pri-
maries.
The pamphlets bearing the initia-
tive and referendum measures and
arguments and the corrupt practices
act pamphlets including the cut and
arguments of the different candidates
in the primaries will be mailed out to
the voters in the same envelope, MAX
ing some reduction in the expense. All
the pamphlets are being delivered as
rapidly as they can be bound.
The printing and mailing of these
will cost the taxpayers of
Oregon the enormous sum of 100000.
