ing last night of the supreme coun-
Gil without settlement of the Ad-
Ratio question, Premier Nitti of
Italy declared. he stood by his ult;-
matum that if the Jugo-Slavs did
not accept 1taly's terms he would
withdraw his compromise offer and
that Italy will demand that France

April, 1915"
Prior to the breaking up of the
council the Jugo-Slav reply to
1taly's demands had been present.

unacceptable.

stituted "the supreme effort" of
Jugo-Slavia sto bring about an
agreement with Italy.

with Premier Nitti's statement, ap-
parently leaves the situation a
tense one.

Trainnen Are
Exonerated by
Investigators

Woodburn, July 27.-Railroad Of
ficials were here yesterday afternoon
investigating the cause of the acci-
dent Saturday afternoon when Geo.
stantly by passenger train No. a.,
and Miss Mary McGrew was serious
ly injured, as the train hit a rruck
owned by the Graves Canning COM
pany, which Bowman was driving.
The investigation placed no blame
upon the engineer. 1t was brought
out that Bowman was busy in try
ing to shift gears, and apparently did
not notice the approaching train.
Miss McGrew, also an employe of
the Graves Canning company, jump
ed upon the truck just as it started
from the factory, and while the truck
was carried by the train for one
hundred sixty yards, she maintained
her position. She was unconscious
when taken to her home and remained
in that state for several hours. Even
at this time she does not seem to un-
derstand just what happened and Is
under the impression that she was
injured in the factory. Bowman's
body was hurled thirty feet from
where the train struck the machine
and he was dead when picked up.
The engineer is known to have sound
ed the alarm and applied the brakes,
but the train was moving with such
force that 1t could not be stopped in
time to prevent the accident.
Mr.. Bowman's body was relnov-
ed to Sheridan Sunday afternoon and
the funeral was held yesterday morn
ing. Miss McGrew is resting as well
as could be expected at the home of
her mother in this city, and 1t is be-
lieved that she will fully recover.
