John Walker had slight accident
on the railroad from Waldport a few
days ago. Luckily there was no dam
age done. Taking all things into con-
sideration they have been very for
tunate that there has been no worse
accidents on this road, We regret
very much that your South Beach cor
respondent should have seen fit to put

actual conditions, we feel that the pub

We admit there is danger on this road,
but as there are no heavy trains, or
fast time made; the danger is very
slight, compared with the general con,

very good condition for the light traffic
did on it. Your correspondent does
not state the nature of the accident
that John Walker met with, after max
ing careful inquiry we are only able
to locate one accident that he has
had that was slight or otherwise, and
while this one might appear slight to
the public in general it no doubt was
a serious one for John, according to
the best information we cap obtain the
accident happened as follows. John |
was speeding his trusty Ford along /
at the usual high speed of ten miles |
an hour which is made on the good |
level road, with his accurate know
ledge of the read, with his ever keen !
sight end strict attention he suddenly |
slowed down to cross the high trestle, !
and the lady passenger by his side be- !

the correspondent suddenly saw how
near they were to an awful disaster !
which NIGHT happen, the rails are !
only four inches wide, and should the ;
Ford jump the rails at this high tres
tie then jump the guard rail there
would be nothing to prevent it leaping
fifty feet down into this awful gulch
and killing all the passengers, so any
