Mail Tribune 100, May 17, 1915 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago. Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted May. 17, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted May. 17, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News May 17, 1915 GREAT CROWD TO SEE PARADE DESPITE SHOWERY WEATHER The circus is in town, and with it the hero of the plains, Buffalo Bill. Early this morning two big sections of trains rolled into the city, thus proclaiming that today is circus and red lemonade day. Soon cars were being shunted here and there, and strange people from many climes poured forth. There are between 600 and 700 people with the circus, so of course the culinary department is an important factor, and three cookhouse wagons were off the cars first, and were soon on their way to the ball park, but lo and behold they were not drawn by horses. STAGG NEAR DEATH; AUTO TURNS TURTLE PACIFIC HIGHWAY One man lies at Sacred Heart hospital in a precarious condition, and another suffered severe injuries to his chest and shoulders as a result of an auto accident early Sunday morning near the P.&E. crossing of the Pacific highway, when a Ford car turned turtle. The injured are Levi A. Stagg of Talent, driver of the car, suffering from internal injuries, and Guy Quackenbush of Talent, bruised about the face and head and chest crushed. The five other occupants of the car escaped with minor bruises. Car is Overturned Three versions are given of the accident — that the car swerved from the road in trying to avoid a collision with a motorcycle, that Stagg misjudged the curve owing to being overloaded with passengers, and that the wrecked machine was racing with another auto and became uncontrollable. The injured men were brought to this city by Shorty Miles, who was a short distance behind the wrecked machine, on his way from the Gold Hill celebration. Miles said that when the machine struck the curve it was going at a high rate of speed, and leaped ten feet in the air, turning a complete somersault into the ditch. Miles lifted the machine, with the assistance of others, from Stagg and Quackenbush, and rushed the men to this city when Dr. Seeley was called.
