Sue Salem Motorist

Woodburn, Or, Dec. 6.-With a
view to instituting proceedings
|against the party who collided
with his buggy several nights ago
when the vehicle was ruined and
one horse, killed, George Ballweber
Jr., has employed Hiram Overton,
a local attorney, who is securing
evidence in the case. ~
+ According TO Ballweber's state
Fnlei1t, he had turned on the high
way at the end of the street about
Ill O'clock at night and was pro-
ceeding southWard when an auto
mobile overlook him and started to
pass. At that moment the driver
evidently saw another car coming
in the same direction, which had
turned out to pass his car and the
buggy. To avoid colliding with
the other car the driver bumped
against the rear end of the buggy,
throwing Mr.. Ballweber out upon
the pavement and killing one Of his
horses. The buggy was total
wreck. Ballweber was severely
bruised.
Mr.. Ballweber says there were
four or five in the car He claims
a party named Riggs of Salem was
driving the car, the license NUM-
ber OF which, he says. is 77121. and
the machine went into the ditch.
He claims it was not his fault and
stated that he would not pay for
any damage.

candidates named on the ticket
are as follows: For mayor, 9. ";
Maygers; for treasurer, Ruth Cai-
vert: for councilmen, L. M. Schoii,
+. e. Fish, Henry Boje and Frank
Mallory. As there is but one ticket
in the field, and no opposition ex-
pected, it is probable that the Tore
going people will comprise the
city's administration for the en-
suing year. 1t has been suggested
that the city should change the
charter to conform with the elec-
ton laws, and it is thought likely
that the charter may be amended
in this manner during the year.
