Aged Lady Injured
by Fall Over Bank

Mrs. Sarah j.. Woodruff, who is 81
years old, was quite seriously injured
late yesterday afternoon when she fell
over steep embankment near the Ore
gon Electric trestle on Commercial
street. Mrs. Woodruff makes her home
with her daughter, Mrs. w. P. Babcock,
living at 63l South Commercial street,
and is quite active for her age. She
was in the habit of going outdoors
daily and frequently gathered up trash,
ETC., about the yard and would take it
to the rear of the lot and throw it over
the embarkment. 1t is thought that
while doing this she lost her balance
and fell over the embankment, falling
and rolling together distance of
about 25 feet. She struck on her left
shoulder, breaking her left arm and
suffering other bruises. She rolled to
the foot of the trestle where she lay
several hours before she was discovered
by two ren who were walking over the
trestle and heard her groan.
Mrs. Woodruff was taken to the Viii
| lamette sanatorium and her injuries
given medical attention. She was re
ported to be resting easily today, will
good chances of recovering. Her daugh
ter was not at home at the time the
accident occurred.

,,crCss the parnnet, straining every
sense to see or il, n what is going on
in No Mans L:nu: because at night.
Fritz never knows wtiaa a bOlrf' with
his name and nuather on it will come
.,urtling through the air aimed in the
direction Of Berlin. The man on the
right, one man in the center and my
self on the extreme left were equipped
with wire cutters. These are insulated
with soft rubber not because the Ger
man wires are charged with electricity,
but to prevent the cutters rubbing
against the barbed wire stakes, which
axe of iron, and making a noise
which may warn the inmates of the
trench that someone is getting fresh
in their front yard. There is only one
way to cut barbed wire without noise
and through costly experience Tommy
has become an expert in doing this.
You must grasp the wire about two
inches from the stake in your right
hand and cut between the stake and
your hand.
If you cut a wire improperly, a
loud twang will ring out on the night
air like the swapping of a banjo
string. Perhaps this noise can be
heard only for fifty or seventy-fve
yards, but in Tommy's mind it makes
loud noise in Berlin.
We had cut a lane about halfway
through the wire when, down the cen
ter of our line, twang! went an i'm
properly cut wire. We crouched down,

cursing under our breath, trembling all
over, our knees lacerated from the
strands Of the cut barbed wire on the
ground, waiting for challenge and
the inevitable volley Of rifle fire. Moth.
ing happened. suppose the fellow
who cut the barbed wire improperly
was the one who had sneezed about
half an hour previously. What we
wished him would never make his new
year happy one.
The officer, in my opinion, at the
noise of the wire should have given the
four-tap signal, which meant, ION your
own, get back to your trenches as
quickly as possible" but again he must
have relied on the spiel that Old Pep
per had given US in the dugout, "Per-
sonally believe that that part Of the
German trench is unoccupied." Any
way, we got careless, but not so care
less that we sang patriotic songs or
made any unnecessary noise.
During the intervals Of falling star
shells we carried ON with our wire cut
ting Until at last we succeeded in get
ting through the German barbed wire.
At this point we were only ten feet
from the German trenches. II we were
discovered, we were like rats In a trap.
Our way was cut of unless we ran
along the wire to the narrow lane we
had cut through. With our hearts In
our mouths we waited for the three
tap signal to rush the German trench.
Three taps had gotten about halfway
down the line when suddenly about ten
to twenty German star shells were
fired all along the trench and landed
In the barbed wire ip rear of US, turn
ing night into day and silhouetting US
against the wall of light made by the
flares. In the glaripg light We were
confronted by the following unpleasant
scene.
All along the German trench, at
about three-foot intervals, stood q big
Prussian guardsman with his rifle at
the aim, and then we found out why
We had not been challenged when the
man sneezed and the barbed wire had
been Improperly cut. About three feet
In front Of the trench they had con-
structed a single fence Of barbed wire
and we knew our chances were one
thousand to one. Of returning alive.
We could not rush their trench ON &C.
count of this second defense. Then
In front Of me the challenge, "Halt," "
given in English rang out, and one of
the finest things have ever heard on;
the western front took place.
From the middle of our line some
Tommy answered the challenge with.
Jaw, 60 to hi" It must have been
the man who had sneezed or who had
improperly cut the barbed wire; he
wanted to show Fritz that he could
lie game. Then came the volley. Ma
chine guns were turned loose and sew
eral bombs were thrown in our rear.
The Boche in front of me was looking
