witnessed the accident ,bernard Hurias,his brother,Lester,John Dozier and 
Engewal Linn,all Canby  boys,left Saturday evening on their motorcycles 
intending to drive to Independence and spend the weekend in that country.It 
seems from the report that Lester Hurias and Linn were riding ahead while 
Bernard and the Dozier boy were in the rear.This was the postion they held 
unitl they passed Woodburn,and when the boys in the rear realized that they 
were some distance behind,they put on more energy and when near the Sam Brown 
farm,undertook to pass the boys in the lead.Bernards machine was between the 
two boys when the handle bars of his machine collided with the motorcycle his 
brother was riding.in som manner the machine was hurled against the machine on 
the oppostie side and the swiftly traveling vehicle which was carrying the 
unfortunate young man seemed to turn over backward.his head was crushed 
between the heavy machine and the pavement.he was taken to the hospotal in 
Oreogn City in an uncnsciuos condition from which he never 
recovered.Physicians called to give him aid pronounced it a hopeless case as 
soon as they made an examination.

known throughout this vicinity.His death came as a stunning blow to his many 
friends.
No other member of the the party was injured.it is said they were all 
traveleing rapidly at the time the accident occurred.
J.H Ezell of Portland,who happened along shortly after the young man 
fell,found the machine pile dup by the sidde of the road.He assisted in taking 
the young man to the Woodburn hospital where first aid was rendered,but his 
condition was found to be so seriuos that he was taken to the hospital in 
Oregon City where he passed away a few hours later.
