Injured by the falling timbers were: Dave Wolsborn, head injries that caused him to be taken to a Spokane hospital; Tony Groh, head injuries that left him in a state bordering on unconsciousness until late in the evening; Edwin Kuest, a strained back; and Herb Kuest, sprained ankles sustained when jumping clear of the wreckage.
Meaanwhile, at the Keller Motors’ garage in Odessa, John Schimke was about to start a fire with the aid of cleaning fluid, when a match tossed by a smoker ignited the stove, sending a blast of gasoline flames into his face, inflicting first degree burns. He was immediately placed under the care of Dr. L.J. Bonney.
Meanwhile word was received from Cheney that Leon Walter’s car had been in a collision with another car, owned by a Cheney banker, and that although Walter was reported unhurt, the other man entered a hospital. Damages to the Walter car were estimated at $250.
