Morning Oregonian August 1, 1904
Mrs.B.E.Lanning,aged 75, who resides at 243 Fifth street,was painfully injured 
by slipping and falling from a street car at the corner of Third and Yamhill 
streets at 10:30 o'clock last night. No one present was able to tell exactly 
how the accident happened, and Mrs.Lanning herself stated that she did not 
know exactly what caused her to fall,but it is supposed she attempted to leave 
the car just as the signal was given to go ahead.She was thrown heavily to the 
pavementandshe was momentarily stunned.At first it was supposed that her 
injuries were serious. Dr.A.C.Panton was called and after the examination 
ordered the patient removed to Good Samaritan Hospital.It waas found there 
that while the injuries were painful they were not serious.Though Mrs. Lanning 
was badly bruised no bones were fractured,and it is not thought that she 
suffered internal injuries.
