An unfortunate accident occurred at
the intersection of Ferry and High SITS.
yesterday afternoon, James Jordan, a
blind man who resides four miles east
of here, attempted to cross the street
in front Of an auto driven by j. b..
Milne, of Corvallis, and failed to reach
the walk before the machine reached
him. JordOn became confused when he
heard the machine coming, it is said,
and instead Of getting out of the way,
as he evidently thought he was doing
he ran directly in the path of the auto.
The driver seeing that there was dan
ger of collision applied the brakes,
but the momentum carried the machine
far enough to strike the blind man in
the back with such force as to throw
him heavily to the street. He was
picked up and given every assistance
possible by 4. j. Rice a brother-in.law
of the owner of the auto that did the
damage, and an ambulance was finally
called which took Mr.. Jordon to the
Willamette Sanitarium. From last re.
ports Mr.. Jordan is getting along nice.
