MIDNIGHT ACCIDENT
DR.. McCallon Thrown from His Buggy
and Painfully Bruised.

While returning home from answer
ing midnight call Thursday night,
Doctor b. II. McCallon met with an
accident in which he sustained pain
full injuries and came near losing his
life.
The accident occurred while the
Doctor was driving home from the
old Hallock place in the mountains,
three miles west of this city. Being un-
able to see his way in the intense
darkness, he drove too near the edge
of a grade and the outside wheels of
his buggy dropped several feet. The
sudden jerk threw the Doctor over the
front wheels to the rocks and gravel
below, knocking him senseless.
After lying several minutes where
he had fallen, Doctor McCallon re-
gained consciousness and struggled
to his feet Finding that his horse
had stopped a short distance from
where the accident occurred, he drove
to town without further mishap, all
though suffering intensely from his
injuries on the way.
The Doctors forehead was painfully
bruised by contact with the rocks, and
his neck and wrist were sprained by
the fall. He says all that saved him
from more serious injuries, and pos
sible death, was his hat, which shield
ed his head from the sharp stones on
which he fell. He has resumed his
practice. but is still stiff and sore
from the effects of his injuries.

FIRE IN ROUND HOUSE
McEeen Motor Car Slightly Damaged
by Flames.

A fire in the engine room of the Nc
Keen motor car, owned and operated
by the Dallas, Salem & Falls City
Railway Company, damaged the car
to the extent of probably 5000 few
minutes after midnight yesterday
morning. The loss is fully covered by
insurance, and the car will probably
not be tied up more than two or three
days for repairs.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Workmen had left the machine shop
only a few minutes before midnight,
at which time everything in the en-
gine room of the motor appeared to be
in safe condition. The fire was first
seen by General Manager Louis Ger
linger from his home near the shops,
and so thoroughly had his men gained
control of the flames by the time the
fremen arrived that the services of the
department were not necessary.
The report that the gasoline tank in
the motor had exploded proved to be
without foundation. The car is pro-
vided with every known safety appli-
ance, and an explosion of the main
tank would be impossible. Automatic
cut-offs held the flames in check, and
no damage was done outside the en-
gine room.
The car is now being repaired and
the company expects to have it back
on the regular run within the next
few days.

OUR MARKET LETTER
Receipts and Sales at Portland Union
Stock Yards.

PORTLAND, Or, April Bore
ceipts on this market for the past
week have been as follows: Cattle
1914, calves 81. hogs 1894 sheep 1880
and horses 2.
There has been little or no change
in prices since our last report. The
top on the cattle market is $3.50, the
top on the hog market $10,25 as COM
pared with 1866 at Eastern points,
and sheep have sold at higher prices
than during the temporary sag of the
market two weeks ago.
There has not been the fall in prices
that was expected on the cattle mar
ket and while there is no doubt that
the price for grass cattle will be lower
than for hay fed, good quality steers
and cows are in demand at a high
range of prices.
The light supply of hogs from the
territory tributary to Portland has
warranted higher prices despite the
tumble of the markets East.
Good quality sheep sold well and
the seeming change in the market is
due more to class and condition than
to ascending values.
Representative sales were as fol-
lows Steers, $3.50; heifers, $6; cows,
$3.50; hogs, $10.25 10 $10.65; lambs,
$S; sheep, So; calves, $3.50 to 81.

HER SUFFERING ENDS
Mrs. Harry Marshall Passes Away
After Long Illness.

Mrs ANNA Marshall, wife of Harry
Marshall,' died at the family home on
Shelton street, Friday evening, April
29, 1910, at 8 o'clock, after a long and
painful illness.
Mrs. Marshall had been in failing
health for many years, but it was only
about six weeks ago that she became
unable to spend the greater part of
each day sitting in an easy chair or
taking light exercise about the house.
About the time of the family's arrival
in Dallas last October, Mrs. Marshall
was able to walk from the depot to
her new home, distance of four
blocks, and it was hoped for while
that the change of climate would re-
store her to health. The hope proved
vain, however, for she had not lived
here long until she again found her.
self losing strength. Her condition
took a rapid change for the worse
early last week and she soon sank into
a state of unconsciousness from which
she never awakened.
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence Sunday afternoon at 2:3O
o'clock. The service was conducted by
Mrs. Lou r. Hatch, a member of the
Christian Science church, of Salem.
The house was crowded with neigh
bors and friends, and many people
stood on the lawn while the brief, but
impressive exercises were being held.
The casket was covered with beautiful
flowers, the tributes not only of near
neighbors, but of many residents of
Dallas who were unacquainted with
Mrs. Marshall in her lifetime. At the
close of the service, the remains were
taken to the Odd Fellows cemetery
and consigned to their last resting
place. The pallbearers were w. G..
Vassall, J. c. Uglow, ]. H. Mccain, M.
d. Coulter, ]. c. Hayter and S. M. Ray.
Mrs. Marshall was born in Maine
and was 81 years old at the time of
her death. She was married to Harry
Marshall in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
in September, 1887. Mr.. and Mrs.
Marshall moved to Spokane, in 1896,
and continued to reside in Eastern
Washington until last October, when
they came to Dallas. Mr.. Marshall
purchased the Frank Salficky harness
shop in this city and, with his wife,
had planned on making a permanent
home here.
Mrs. Marshall was a comparative
stranger in Dallas, but those who had
the pleasure of forming her acquaint-
ance found her a kindly and pleasant
woman. Mrs. Hatch, who had charge
of the funeral service, was for many
years a near neighbor of Mrs Marshall
in Minnesota and spoke feelingly of
her many excellent qualities of mind
and heart.
Among those from Salem attending
the funeral were August Shriver, a
cousin of Mr.. Marshall, and Eugene
Eckerlein, also a relative and school,
mate of the two men in Alsace-Lor-
raine. Mr.. Marshall will continue to
make his home in Dallas.

new CITY OFFICERS
MAYOR EAKIN ANNOUNCES AP-
POINTMENT OF COMMITTEES.
Council REFLECTS City Attorney, City
Treasurer and Chief of Police;
Many Bills Allowed.

The newly-elected councilmen of the
city of Dallas were installed in office at
a regular meeting of the board held in
the council chamber last night. The
session lasted until 1880 o'clock, the
clearing of the table of unfinished
business occupying the attention of
the retiring board until a late hour.
New committees were announced by
Mayor Eakin, and claims against the
city to the amount of 1891 were ord
cred paid.
The special committee appointed to
inspect the sewer flushing system in
use in Corvallis recommended that the
same system be adopted in Dallas The
apparatus employed in Corvallis con-
flushing siphon at the end of each
sewer. These siphons cost $35 each at
the Eastern factory, and the expense of
installing each siphon is about $40.
AS Dallas would use four siphons, the
total cost to the city would be in the
neighborhood of $500. The report of
the committee was received, and the
improvement will be considered by the
council later in the year.
The report of Mayor Eakin on the
installation of a new system of book
keeping for the city was adopted and
the Mayor was authorized to purchase
the needed books and records. The
cost of the books will be about 800.
The street committee was empower
ed to employ competent civil engin-
eer to re-establish the grade on Wash
ington street. 1t is the desire of the
council to lower the present grade, if
it is found possible to make the
change.
Mayor Appoints Committees.
Mayor Eakin announced the ap-
pointment of standing committees for
the ensuing year as follows:
Finance-Ayres, Coad, Fenton.
Streets-Kirlkpatric Hall. Stafrin.
Ordinances-Coad, Ayres, Fenton.
Health and Police-Stafrin, Kirk

Other Officers Elected.
The council then reelected officers
as follows:
City Attorney-Walter L. TooZe, Jr.
Chief of Police-T. A. Odom.
City Treasurer-W. G. Vassall.
1t was decided, after full discussion,
to reject all bids for street improve
ment and to advertise for new bids.
The ordinance committee was in
structed to prepare an ordinance pro-
viding for the refunding of the sewer
and rock crusher Indebtedness, as au-
thorized by the taxpayers of the city
at the recent election. The ordinance
will provide for the issuance of four
bonds for $1,000 each, one bond to be
paid one year after its date, and one
each year thereafter.
The matter of entering into a con-
tract with M. d. Coulter for sprink-
ling street intersections was referred
