rs SERIOUSLY
INJURED AS
CAR SWERVES
ID. E. Lester Has Back Pierc-
ed as Top of Car Smashes
in Roll Off Road Grade on
River Road

d. E. Lester, an employee in the
local office of the Pacific Power
& Light Co., was terribly injured
this afternoon when his car ran
off the road over bank, smash
ing in the top of the car. Part Of
the framework of the car was
punched into his back, puncturing
his kidney, diaphragm and lung.
Three ribs were shattered.
As near as could be learned the
footfeed of the car stuck and in
leaning over to pull it back up,
the car swerved, overturning as it
careened down the grade. The ac-
cident occurred about five miles
west of town near the Christensen
place on the River Road.
A passing car saw the accident
and Lester was brought to town
and from here hurried to the hos
pital at Pasco where an immediate
operation was undergone. The
wooden piece which punctured the
mans back pierced the body about
five inches. Doctors have given the
man an even chance to recover.
Mr.. Lester has worked for the
local office here for the past five
years and recently purchased a
home on Mob Hill east of town.
His family consists of wife and
one small son.

BALL TEAM is
LEAGUE HEAD
Two Shut Outs Put Town
Team in First Place;
Hitting is Heavy

AS a result of last Sundays
series of games in the Yakima
Valley league Kennewick now is
perched at the top of the list, it's
40 score at Prosser and the de-
feat of the Toppenish and Golden
dale teams giving the locals a
clean claim to the peak.
The local club has hit its stride
and is acknowledged the best in the
league. Following the game at
Prosser, in which Roger Records,
Kennewick's pitching ace, held the
county seaters to a shut-out, he
the following day at Pas
co. The Pasco team, thirsting for
and keen for victory, tho
it was not scheduled league
game, took a shutout, 20 in well
played game on the Fourth.
One Of the features which makes
the locals such tough competition
is the fact that eight of the IL
men on the regular list are hit
ting over 500. Hill, who leads the
list, has a batting average of .6S7
and the team average for the sea-
son is .344.
But two more games remain in
the league schedule. We play Nab
ton there next Sunday and Sunny
side here the following week. Nab
ton has made unique record with
IL straight losses.

FIELD DAY TO
BE HELD JULY
2OATPROSSER
Experiment Station to Be
Hosts to Farmers of Val
ley; Results Prove Profit
able to Growers

The thirteenth annual Field Day
at the Irrigation Branch Expert
ment Station will be held Wednes-
day, July 20.
The station has something of in
terest for everyone who is inter-
ested in agriculture in the irrigat-
ed sections of the state. A cordial
invitation to attend is extended to
all. The station is located five
miles northeast Of Prosser.
Experimental work is under way
in Agronomy, Horticulture, Irri-
CATION and Livestock. The exper-
mental program was started in
1921 and eleven years data is
available from part of the pro-
jects. Most of the projects have
been carried for a sufficient time
to obtain significant results.
During times of low prices for
farm produce it is necessary to
grow high quality produce at low
cost. A days visit to the station
may save you money. For instance
information on soil fertility
maintenance, or responses of ap-
pie trees to irrigation practices
might alone be worth the time you
spend at the station. Meet your
neighbors at the Experiment Sta
ton and discuss your problems.
Let's make this big day for ag-
riculture in the Yaima Valley.
Remember the dateJuly. 20.
The first field trip will start
promptly at $3.50. Everyone is urg-
ed to be on hand at that time.

SPEED BOATS
DO STUFF AT
FOURTH SHOW
Regatta May Develop Into
Annual Event; Plenty of
Thrills Shown to Specta-
tors Who Line Banks

The cupboard motor boat racing
regatta staged on the Columbia
river here the Fourth proved a big
success, with about 800 persons In
attendance and some of the fastest
boats in the Northwest to furnish
the thrills.
The drivers who entered all de-
clared they thought the event very
successful and said that the loca-
ton here was one of the best they
had ever raced upon. Due to the
elevated shore line it was possible
for all races to be staged close in
shore and giving all spectators a
ringside seat.
Spokane drivers seemed to have
the speediest boats and walked
away with all the prize money. l..
Rickert won first in the ten-mile
Marathon, o. B. Earlscourt second
and Red Reed third.
The local boat race furnished
many thrills as boat from Casey
capsized and the driver lost his
motor in the bottom of the river,
while the crafts of o. S. Carey of
Kennewick and DIR. Robert Glenn
of Pasco collided just as they were
crossing the finish line. Carey
scored first in the event, DIR. Glenn
second and Val Haas third.
The boat club is already harbor-
ing plans for a race on the COM
ing Fourth and expects to have a
still better program and a much
larger aggregation of speedy boats.

Scandalous!


Chief of Police Homer n. De-
Haven was puzzling this week as
to why people with the same name
follow occupations that are de-
cidedly different. One preserver
of law and order, and the other
whose work is to evade law and
order.
The chief is in receipt of a news
paper clipping sent him by rela-

rest of Homer DeHaven, of East
st. Louis, q gangster who was
held for questioning in connection
with gang activities and slayings.
The DeHaven of the other type

STOCK PRICES UP
ON BEAR RULING
Market Receivers After Mid
day Following Reaction Due
to Profit Taking.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, February 19.-The stock
soon regained its composure and de-
veloped quiet strength today, after a
bear stampede at the opening gave
prices a violent convulsion.
An opening upswing of 81 to 81 a
share was quickly cut in half after the
bear demand for stocks to cover their
short sales had been satisfied. The
pace of trading dropped of sharply.
While 100000 shares were traded In
half for another 700 600 shares to
trade.
The market started upward again
after midday. and by early afternoon,
there were numerous net gains OF 81
to 81 a share.
Bears appeared thoroughly fright
ened for a time over the Stock Ex-
changes order last night that after
April / brokers must obtain SPECIFIC
permission from customers before loan
ing their stocks to short sellers.
Brokers said, however, that 1t was
largely the amateur bears who rushed
to cover and that many of the more
experienced traders were taking their
time about retiring their short commit
ments. Opinion differed considerably
as to the ultimate effects Of the new
ruling, although it was widely ap-
plauded.
Eastman Kodak, after running up 81
a share to S8475, fell back to $80.62,
then came up to around $82 by early
afternoon. Auburn, after running up
$3.50 to $12850, fell to Sl2287, then

POLICEMAN IS SHOT
BATTLING SUSPECTS.
T. D. Bacon Wounded Twice.
Captures One of AssaiIants
in Fierce Fight.

Policeman T. D. Bacon, first precinct,
was shot early today during desperate
battle with two men who, he said, ap-
parently had just made an unsuccess-
full attempt to burglarize two buildings
in the 600 block OF E street. Con-
tinuing the terrific struggle despite q
bullet wound in his leg and another in
his foot, the officer finally succeeded in
overpowering one Of the men-an
escaped convict wanted for questioning
in connection with several recent safe
robberies-but the other man escaped.
The prisoner, who refused to give his
name, subsequently was identified as
John Kendrick, 81, who escaped from
the New Jersey Prison Farm at Bor-
dentown, N. j., last September 81.
Suspicious Aroused.
Bacon became suspicious of the pair,
he reported to his commanding ofhcer,
Capt. William E. Holmes, when he saw
them step from an automoblie and en-,
ter one of the buildings, which is SAID

The men emerged from the building
few minutes later, Bacon said, and en-
tered an adjoining building.
While the men were IN the Secono
building. Bacon said, he locked into
their car and found an automatic SHOT
gun. They returned while he was still
peering into the machine, he said, and
Kendrick. drawing revolver, oroereo
him to stick EN- up!'
Bacon refused, he said, and both men
attacked him. During the melee, one
of the pair was thrown through the
show window of a shoe repair shop.
The fight was at its height, Bacon
said, when Kendrick fired the gun. One
of the bullets pierced Bacon's right
thigh and the other struck the little
toe Of his right loot. His right hand
also was cut.
Disregarding his wounds. he contin-
ued the battle. When he subdued Ken
drick the other man fed. Kendrick
was lying across the fender OF the auto
mobile, with Bacon bending over him
and demanding that he surrender, when
Park Policeman w. A. Earl arrived.
The first precinct patrol was sum-
moned and Kendrick was taken to the
station, where he was booked for in
vestigation. Bacon, meanwhile. was
taken to the hospital in taxicab. His
condition is not serious.
