Gilbert Washington, 22, Siletz, was fatally injured Thursday morning when he ran down old abandoned steps at right and out on Harbor drive into the side of a Terminal Transfer truck. A companion, William Howard Bourgeau, 24, Inchelium, Wash., coming down behind him, was not hit; Washington was pronounced dead on arrival at Emanuel hospital (presumably the Emanuel Hospital in Portland, Oregon).
