Death ends opera house dance
100 YEARS AGO
Feb. 11, 1915
Four petitions protesting
against the unusual leniency
shown by former Gov. West to
J.A. French will be sent today
to Gov. Withycombe and also
to Judge Knowles. They bear
the names of about 250 resi-
dents of Wallowa county. The
petitions were only out a few
days and were circulated only
in the four towns along the
railroad. Mr. French, a former
county court judge, pleaded
guilty to having taken $2800
from Wallowa county, but he
never served time in the peni-
tentiary when he was in Salem,
but was permitted his liberty
as the guest of an old friend
during his stay there.
Jacob Rauschkolb died
suddenly Thursday night un-
der conditions approaching
the tragic. He was attending
the dance following the con-
cert given by the Hallowell
company in the opera house,

and, with his customary an-
imation and cheeriness, was
taking an active part. He had
just sat down with his partner,
Mrs. J.J. Bauer, after a dance,
and had expressed his pleasure
in the number. Suddenly he
asked her to call a doctor. Dr.
S.D. Taylor was only a few
feet away. When he reached
Mr. Rauschkolb, the latter had
settled back in his chair and
his eyes were drooping. ...
With the assistance of several
friends, Dr. Taylor carried Mr.
5DXVFKNROEWKURXJKWKHRI¿FH
and out upon the sidewalk,
where he was laid down and an
effort made to revive him. ... It
was about 11:15 o’clock when
Mr. Rauschkolb collapsed. ...
Half an hour later word was
brought to the hall that he had
died, and the dance of course
came to an end at once and the
guests quietly departed.
By the bursting of a main
in the Enterprise water system,
opposite the Enterprise garage
on Sunday, a considerable part
of the heart of town was left
dry for hours. The break was
repaired before evening. Many
service pipes are still frozen,
and the families have to carry
water from neighbors’ houses.

American army. ... A member

50 YEARS AGO
Feb. 11, 1965
Miss Judy Ferrell, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fer-
rell, and Ronald Jacobs both
Enterprise high school stu-
dents, were slightly injured
Sunday afternoon when the
car they were riding in went
out of control, left the high-
way and overturned at Eggle-
son corner between Enterprise
and Joseph. ... The car, a 1960
Austin, was totally demol-
ished. Exact cause of the acci-
dent has not been determined
but a mechanical failure is
suspected.
Rev. Loren Bush, pastor
of the St. Patrick’s Episcopal
church in Enterprise, and rep-
resenting the Wallowa county
Ministerial association, spoke
to the Enterprise Lions club at
their noon meeting on Tuesday
of this week. Rev. Bush told
the group that the ministerial
association feels that there is
a great likelihood of a youth
problem arising in Wallowa
county and that many of the
ministers are already begin-
ning to see evidence of this
problem. As he described it,
the primary problem seems to
be a loss, or lack, of communi-
cation between teenagers and
adults — in a language which
is understood by both sets. He
went on to state that adults
have expressed concern over
some of the activities of the
youths and many feel that the
problem of drinking and sex is
becoming increasingly acute.
25 YEARS AGO
Feb. 8, 1990
In the next two months,
the people of Wallowa County
will be presented with a series
of recommendations by the
Wallowa County Communi-
ty Health Care Council made
with the goal of insuring a
healthy health care system in
the county, both for the present
and the future. The formation
of a health care district, a paid
weekend emergency room
physician, and paid personnel
to man the ambulances are
only three of the alternatives
that the council is recommend-
ing to the public to stabilize
and strengthen critical areas of
local health care.
Sacajawea, the Indian
woman most well known for
her part in the Lewis and Clark
Expedition, will be memori-
alized in a bronze sculpture
created by Joseph artist Shirly
Bothum. Bothum last weekend
¿QLVKHGWKHOLIHVL]HVWDWXHIRU
the Lewiston Centennial Com-
mittee. The 5’2” Sacajawea,
clothed in a blanket and ani-
mal skin dress, will become
the centerpiece of a fountain
at Lewiston’s Pioneer Park. ...
Sacajawea was cast at Valley
Bronze which Bothum says
“doesn’t take a back seat” to
any foundry in the country.
