George Ceilings, 80 Years
Old, Falls as He Desends
Sheet Rope From 4th
Story.
YOUNG COMPANION
MAKES GET AWAY
Men Tie Sheets Together
But Ladder Lacks 20 Ft.
Reaching Ground.

While mpting to escape from
the Eastern Oregon State Hospital
last night. George. Ceilings, 81 year
old patient. fell and sustained injur-
les from which he soon died. He was
descending from a fourth story win
dow on a rope made of sheets and
evidently his grip was not strong
enough for the task.
Frank Myers. a young patient COM
mitted from Waliowa. county a year
ago, made good his escape.
The patients had not been locked in
their rooms and early in the evening
had gained access to another pa
tents room. After intimidating the
patient to prevent hlisl giving warn
ing, the two patients set to work to
unscrew the heavy castings. They
made an opening large enough to ad-
NIT their bodies and, tying sheets to-
gether, let the improvised rope out
the window. 1t lacked 20 feet OF be-
ing long enough to reach the ground
and perhaps it was the fall from the
eRd of the rope that caused the aged
patients injuries.
Groaning attracted attention to his
plight and attention was given him
Immediately. 1t was found that one
elbow was broken. several ribs frac-
tured and that he had sustained Sc
rious internal injuries, Death result
ed soon after he was found.
Mr.. Ceilings, who was a ships car
penter by trade, was committed to
the hospital at Salem in June, 1915,
and later transferred here. Prior to
that he had been in the Multnomah

CAR SHORTAGE STOPS
SHIPMENT OF WHEAT

A temporary embargo on grain
shipments to Pacific coast points was
placed in effect several days ago by
the O-W. II. & y. Co. and, as a re-
suit. it is now impossible to ship grain
from this county.
The embargo results from freight
congestion, according to railway Off
cials, and the fact that several hun
dred cars laden with grain are. now
tied up at various ports waiting for
ships so that they can be unloaded.
How soon the situation will be reliev-
ed is not known and the railroad au-
thoriIies can give no definite promise.
The situation is one not at all pleas
ing to farmers as grain payments are
deferred until their grain reaches a
shipping point.
