/ VIII Fiser moved to Ontario Mon
day to take charge of the Moore liv-
cry barn. He has had an option on
the G. L. Smith livery barn at Fruit
land, and relinquished his claim to
Mr. Smith. We did not learn who
will be his successor.
Seven broken vehicles were count
ed Sunday morning on the road be-
tween Payette and Ontario, in most
cases caused directly or indirectly
from some one imbibing too freely
in Ontario's bad whiskey and making
it positively dangerous for women to
drive at night. Ontario a dry town
would certainly be much more de-
sirable neighbor.
The two vehicles so badly demol-
ished near the Boston farm on the
Ontario road were the results OF a
collision Wednesday night between
Lee Troxall in Mrs H. R. Boomers
carriage on his way to Ontario in,
company of Mr. Buckley, the first
named being in the employ of Mr..
Boomer and having charge of his
Holstein herd at the fair grounds.
A drunken man driving a cart and
horse and known to people in town
who saw him start, unfit to drive,
had evidently collided with some
thing and injured his vehicle, throw
ing him out, the loose horse and cart
came on down the road colliding
with Mr. Troxall and both rigs were
almost demolished. Mr. Buckleys head
was forced thru the bars of the
carriage top his body thrown forward
and he was rendered unconscious
Mr.. Troxal had to secure help TO ex-
tricate him and a doctor was called
to his assistance At first it was thot
his injuries were not serious but lat
er adyices state he is very badly
hurt and has been taken to the hos
pital. The drunken man was found
an eighth of a mile up the road I'M
injured

Frank Melcher and Walter Siedell
who came out here last spring from
eastern Kansas and has been work
ing at Mr.. Melchers this summer
were coming west out of Fruitland
on their motor cycles. Just round
ing the corner near Geo. HcoSers
place on the proper side of the road,
they collided with the young son of
Rev Fox who has been camped in
Fruitland working in the fruit who
was on horse back. Mr. Siedell was
struck in the head by the horses
hoof and rendered unconscious. DR.
Wright and E. A. Stegner took the
injured man back to Melchers where
he was delirious until four O'Clock
Sunday when he began to recover.
AT this writing he begins to know
members of the family but nothing
further. The doctor says he viii be
fully restored in few days. No one
else was injured in the mix-up.
That windstorm Friday that last
ed from 12 o'clock until nearly four
O'Clock with all the vehemence of an
old Iowa or Nebraska blow, did
much damage to fruit trees, the
swaying caused the props to fall,
throwing the weight of the apples on
the tree suddenly, many broke under
