Motorist Takes To
Ditch To Avoid
Striking Horses

Hubbard, Or. Nov tS.--F'rank
Scherbach. farmer living near
here, took great chance yesterday
afternoon when he went OF the
highway into a ditch south or town
TO prevent killing a team OF horses
which a young man named Reed
was driving.
Reed was hauling load Of straw
and had stopped the team Just be
fore turning In the lane leading TO
his house, to wait for the car to
pass. Another car had stopped be-
hind the load, the driver having
observed Scharbaeh's ear approach
Ing. Reed was conserving with a
friend and did not notice the horses
as they turned across the highway
jmmcdiately In front of the car
which was running at about twenty
miles an hour.
Mr.. Scharbaugh turned to the
left to prevent colliding with the
team and 1t was then he first saw
the car standing behind the load
ed wagon. In an effort to dodge
the other machine he pitched off
into the ditch and the ear turned
over on it's side, but high bank
on the left prevented 1t from turn
Ing over, and this is all that saved
the driver from serious injury, Aft
er the cur was pulled out by the
team that caused all the excite
ment IL was found that only minor
damage was done.

Burglaries Are
Laid to Youths

Woodburn. Nov. 1S.-The two
burglaries committed here one
night last week are supposed to
have been the work of boys liv-
ing in this vicinity. During the alb
sence of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene
Courtney the burglars opened a
back window in the kitchen and
ransacked the ouilding. They Sc
cured a gold wptch, gold ring and
$2.50 gold piece. The machine
drawers were turned bottom side
up and everything they contained
was turned out upon the floor.
When they departed the burgers
left the kitchen door open. The
same night the home of Mr.. and
Mrs, A. r. Haverly was burglar
lied but the only thing missing is
a small amount of money.
