Hit by Falling Block and Fails to Regain Consciousness - Was Employed by Wright & Sons in Sixes Camp But Had Been Transferred Helping to Work on Dock
Arthur Adams was fatally wounded Friday afternoon at about three o'clock at Port Orford and he passed away at Emergency Hospital in Bandon Saturday morning at 7:39.
He had been employed at Gus Hamilton's camp on Sixes for several months loading trucks for Wright & Sons Contractors, and as the recent rains made it impossible to haul out of the woods he was transferred to Port Orford dock where he was helping reload the logs to put aboard the Frogner. While loading with a gin pole the cable broke and the pole came down striking Mr. Adams on the head. Delmar Wright saw the pole falling and yelled to Mr. Adams. The latter tried to escape but ran only a few steps when the block caught him crushing his skull. He was carried to the Port Orford hotel and Dr. Arthur Gale of Bandon was summoned. Mrs. Adams was also called. Later he was taken to the hospital where everything possible was done but he died without regaining consciousness.
