HAND CAR COLLIDES WITH
ATTORNEY MOULTON'S CAR
Section Foreman Johnson Receives
Broken Collar Bone in Accident
-a- at S., p. & S. Crossing

Nels johnson, of Finley, section
foreman on the S., p. e. S. railroad,
received broken collar bone this af-
ternoon when his gasoline handcar col
lided with Attorney M. M. Moulton's
automobile. The accident happened
at the railroad grade crossing just be-
low the home of N. C. Bowles. Mr..
Moulton's car was thrown from the
track down the grade. A fender was
torn off, three spokes in a rear wheel
broken and the wind shield smashed
but the driver escaped with only a few
scratches. Mrs. johnson and Glen
Smith, who were on the handcar with
Mr.. johnson, Were uninjured.
Mr.. Moulton was approaching the
crossing at slow rate of speed and
after making sure that no train was
coming, was on the lookout for any
automobile that might have been ap-
preaching the crossing from the other
side. The people on the handcar wav-
ed at him and when he slowed UP they
thought their signal had been seen and
that Mr.. Moulton was going to bring
his car to stop. II.

BENTONsCITY HAS NOT
LOST INTEREST IN OIL
John Gaustad Says Drilling Machin-
cry is Being Taken Into the
Rattlesnake Field

John Gaustad, a prominent farmer
of Benton City, is in Kennewick today
attending a meeting of the farmers
council, an organization composed OF
representatives from the several rural
clubs and oranges in the county. Mr.
Gaustad says the territory under the
new irrigation system on the high
lands back of Benton City is rapidly
coming to the front. The farms in
this section are all young, many OF
them having reached a state of pro-
duction only this year. He says that
Notwithstanding the short peach crop,
three car loads of peaches have been
shipped out of Benton City this year
and have been sold at satisfactory
prices.
Interst in the natural gas and oil
field north of Benton City has by no
means died out in his section and the
people feel assured of the speedy de-
velopment of the field. The Walla
Walla Gas, Oil and Pipe Line company
according to Mr.. Gaustad, are now
busy hauling lumber and machinery
from Benton City into the field pre-
paratory to beginning to drill with a
large rig.

PROPRIETOR OF PANTORIUM
HAS A NARROW ESCAPE
Tank of Gasoline in Which Archie
Copeland is Rinsing Suit
Bursts Into Flames

Archie Copeland, proprietor of the
Pantorium, had narrow escape from
severe injury Tuesday afternoon when
tank of gasoline in which he was
rinsing lady's skirt, burst into
flames. Mr.. Copeland was at work in
the small frame buildin g
on Second street used by him as a
cleaning room, at the time of the ac-
cident. It is thought the gasoline was
ignited by static electricity caused by
rubbing the woolen goods.
The interior of the little building
was quickly enveloped in flames and
by the time the fire department was
on the job the cleaning apparatus
and four suits Of clothes, two extra
pairs Of trousers, lady's coat and a
lady's suit were destroyed. Mr.. Cope
land escaped with few slight burns
on the hands.
