J. C. ALLEN BADLY HURT
Last Saturday evening, the buggy team driven by J. C. Allen, became
frightened and ran away, throwing Mr. Allen and Wm. Simson out. Mr. Simson
suffered a sprained ankle, but Mr. Allen was badly hurt and was brought to
Dr. Coates Sanitarium, where he remained in an unconscious condition until
Sunday night. His face is badly bruised and the skull slightly fractured.
He is now improving and it is to be hoped that he will soon recover. The
accident was caused by the team becoming frightened at a motor cycle, ridden
by Ed Green, just north of John Dyke's place.
"Uncle" John McVey left last week for San Francisco to have an operation fro
Cataracts on his eyes. He has been almost totally blind for the past year.
We sincerely hope that his sight may be fully restored.
A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY
Reports reached here this morning of a horrible tragedy, which blotted out
the lives of Wilson Barnett and Alex Drummond, two young men of Eagleville.
No definite detail of the awful accident has as yet been received. It seems
that the two young men went up on Emerson Creek, west of Eagleville to cut
wood. Benny Sawtelle and L. Blubecker were camped some distance from where
the two ill fated young men had placed their camp, and about 5 o'clock in
the evening they heard a loud explosion and thought they would go over and
see what caused it. On arriving at the camp they found the two young men
dead. Their death was undoubtedly due to the explosion of the powder that
they had taken out to blast wood with. Coroner McCloud was at once sent for
and will hold an inquest today.
The accident is a sad one, as both young men were highly esteemed. Wilson
Barnett leaves a mother, Mrs. Grant Warren, of Eagleville and Alex Drummond
came here from Placer County, where he has relatives.
Born - At Dr. Coates Sanitarium, in Cedarville, Cal., Oct 22, 1915 (I
believe this should be 1916), to the wife of Mervin Cannon, a boy
