Norman Eid was killed instantly and Fred Lent very seriuosly injured early 
Sunday morning when a car in which they were riding suddenly left the road and 
struck a telephone pole.On account of the condition of Mr.Lent,it seems 
difficult to learn just how the accident happened,as he was unable to talk 
much since the accident.Monday he was reported to be in critical condition,but 
latewr reports indicate that he will recover.John Eid,father of the 
unfortunate young man,drove to Oregon City Sunday evening,upon his return from 
Newprt,where he had been spending his vacation in company with Mrs.Eid and 
their daughter,Eliazbeth,and gave the circumstance a careful investigation.It 
seems that Mr.Lent was driving the car at a rapid rate of speed,traveling in 
the direction of Oregon City.When almost opposite Pulp siding the two right 
wheels went off the pavement  and in trying to get back on the hard surface 
the driver lost control of the machine which plunge across the road and struck 
a telephone pole with terrific force.The accident happened about 12:30  Sunday 
morning,but it was much later whent he unfortunate men were discovered by the 
driver of a California stage.Mr.Eid was taken to the hospital in Oregon City 
where it was learned that his neck was broken. and the back bone fractured.He 
probably died instantly and never suffred pain.
Norman Eid was born in Minnesota,January 7,1904,and came to Canby with his 
family several years ago.He was employed at the Lent Brothers garage.A couple 
weeks ago he was forced to lay off on account of injury sustained when a 
piece  of steel pentrated the flesh covering his eye ball and he had been 
working only a day or two hen he met death in the accident.
The funeral was held in the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon,Rev.W.B.Moore 
officiating,and internment was made in the Zion cememtary.All business houses 
closed in Canby Tuesday afternoon at the funerl hour.
