CLOSE CALL
WHEN BIG
POLE FELL
W. II. SMITH KNOCKED SENSELESs
BY FALLING TELEPHONE POLE,
AND ONE OF HIS HORSES
COMPANY BLAMED FOR
CARELESSNESS.

To be standing one moment the
proud possessor OF fine team Of
horses, ready to go TO work. and the
next to be lying senseless upon the
ground, with one horse killed and the
other seriously injured, was the ex-
periev0e Of w, H. Smith this morning,
when a large telephone pole fell In
the street without warning. When he
came to his senses Mr.. Smith was
bleeding profusely from severe cut
upon the head. He was hastened to
the office Of DR.. o. B. Miles, where an
examination disclosed the fact that
one Of thee arteries under the left ear
had been severed and internal injuries
to the skull sustained, which caused
the loss of hearing. The blame for
the accident Is being placed upon the
shoulders Of the Oregon Electric com
pany, who had been warned to guy
the pole in order to make II safe for
the workmen.
The accident occurred about $3.50 on
the corner OF Trade and Front, where
Contractor Harold is removing the
sawdust which has accumulated there
In order to fill in and pave. A large
pole belonging TO the Oregon Electric
company was standing In the sawdust
and Mr., Harold notified the COM
pany to either remove the mole OF
guy It 80 that 1t would not fall on the
men. The company sent men to do
the work, which was done In a very
careless manner, only two wires be.
ing put on the pole, so that when more
sawdust was removed the pole sud
denly fell. The men working under II
had barely time to jump when II came
crashing down, striking Mr.. Smith
who was waiting for his wagon to be
loaded, glancing blow on the head
and Telling both his horses. Work
men quickly removed the pole from
across the backs Of the horses, one OF
which failed to rise, however. and II
was found that It was dead. The 9TH
er slowly staggered to his feet, and
may live.
Mr., Smith is well-known in the city
and has resided in Yew Park for some
time. He has large family, and the
loss Of his team Is severe blow ID
him, but he takes his misfortune like
man, and Is thankful to get out Of
the tangle with his life

Score OF telegrams from Republi-

the country, IN which they promised to
help the Socialists In their effort tB
prove that Judge Hanford permitted

were read 10 the delegates. The de-

charge that the dcision Is the direct
result Of Judge Hanford'a opposition
to the recall OF the judiciary, he be-
lieying, they say, that by depriving
olsson OF citizenshop, he would curb
agitation in the west In this dlrec-
tiOn.

REFORM" said Councilman Oliver r.
Erickson, municipal ownership lead
er, here today.
Judge HanfOrd refuses TO recog-
nlze the constitutional right to change
the constitution by the power Of tho
ballot. Not only are foreign born So
clalists deprived Of citizenship under
his ruling, but any man advocating re-
forms In existing governmental condi-
tions such as the initiative, referen-
dun and recall. II Is outrageous that
an American court should attempt 10

Erickson was elected to the city
council a year ago for a three-year

arrived in Cuidad Chihuahua last
night, and a special train Of wounded
was expected there some time today.
