SERIOUS RUNAWAY
ACCIDENT
Young Man Hurt in Entiat
Valley Making Fight
for His Life.

Tom Steele, a young man II
years of age, lies at the hospital in
q serious condition as the result of
runaway which occurred yesterday
morning near the power plant i'll
he Entiat VALLEY Dr.. Mccoy vas
Summoned and made hasty trip in
ris auto. He found the youth in
very bad shape. His skull, jaw bAne
and right elbow were fractured,
" hlle the body was bruised all over
A large piece .f flesh was gouged
out of the jaw and the cavity was
filled with gravel
Young Steele had arrived only
three days before from his home in
Seattle and was employed on the
Anvil ranch. He was driving along
with a load of boxes when the run
away happened. The last he re-
members is that he fell down onto
the tongue of the wagon. The skull
fracture indicates that one of the
horses stepped on his head.
The ambulance of the Wenatchee
Undertaking company was called
and brought the boy down to the
general hospital last night, making
a forty-five mile trip after three
O'Clock.
DR.. Mccoy feared last night that
the young man could not live the
night through, but he has improved
very much this morning and hopes
of saving his life are now favorable.
A telegram was sent yesterday to
the father, A. L. Steele, who is an
employe of the Seattle Electric COM
pany. He was advised that his son
is in a serious condition. No reply
has come, but it is thought he will
arrive on the afternoon train.

ISLAND NAVAL BASE
Is GERMANY'S AIM

Berlin.-Reports are again current
that the German Admiralty is about
to establish a naval station on the
sandy and dune-protected islands off
the west coast of Schleswig- Holstein
The project ives mentioned some few
years ago, when the newspapers con-
tended that measure must be taken
to prevent English landing on the
coast Of Schleswig- -Holstein or Jut-
land,
The object of the maneuvers was to
ascertain conditions which were held
in the last week in May on the Is
land of Syit. off the west coast Of
Schleswig, The object of the nance
uvres was to ascertain whether 1t
would be possible for English vessels
to land troops there. The secret has
been divulged by the Socialists, who
are raising an outcry against the idea
of spending taxpayers money on for
tifying these islands. The Syit is an
irregular-shaped island in the North
Frisian group, and is situated rough
~ so miles from the estuaries of both
the Elbe and Weser. 1t is 22 miles
long by from half a mile to eight
miles wide. Other of the larger is
lands in the groups are Fohr and
Romo.
