FRANKS SI.AI Mistaken For Bear by Oscar weDDer rsear Kicaie INQUEST THIS AFTERNOON Althongti Slayer Coald Not Tell Man - From Animal, lie was Able to Hit Franks 3 Times While hunting In the vicinity of Catching Creek, four miles west of Riddle, Tuesday afternoon, Alexan der A. Franks was shot and killed by his companion, Oscar Webber, who It Is reported, mistook Franks for a bear as he was descending a hill. Franks' body was brought to Riddle, and this afternoon It will be shipped here on the Flyer for an inquest, pre paratory to which Coroner Jewett went to Riddle this morning to gath er evidence. Franks was a Southern Pacific freight brakeman. running between this city and Grants Pass. He was 22 years of age and leaves a bride of 26" days formerly Miss Birdie Worley, of Canyonvllle. They resid ed here at the home of George H. Singleton. Webber is a. Southern Pacific iireman and about 28 years old. Following the inquest, Franks' body will be taken in charge by the local lodge of Brotherhood of Loco motive Trainmen, of which he was a member and in which he carried a life Insurance, policy of $1,300. Franks leaves a brother at Riddle and a sister In Salem. With their wives, Webber and Franks left here last Sunday for Catching Creek for an outing. They were joined at Riddle by Webber's brother, Horace Webber, and wife. The meager details of the fatality that have been received here do not explain how Oscar Webber made his awful mistake. A hunter from boy hood and thoroughly experienced In woodcraft, it caunot be understood how he mistook Fruuks for a bear, If such was the case. Uuahle though he might have been at that time to distinguish man from anlmui, his eyesight was keen enough, it is re ported, to enable him to plant three deadly rllle bullets In Franks' body at a distance of about 00 yards. The tragedy Is said to have occurred about 5 o'clock In the af ternoon and about one mile from where the party was camped. ImU-t Detnild. Upon the arrival of the Flyer this afternoon, bringing Franks' body, and since the above was in type, it was learned that Webber shot Franks three times. Two bullets pierced the body In the region of the stomach and a third ploughed through the breast. The two men had separated during their hunt In the afternoon, and some time later Webber, at the bottom of a canyon, saw Franks moving about on the ridge and, mistaking him for a bear, fired at him: Webber's splendid abil ity as a marksman did not fail him, and at his first shot Franks pitched forward on the side of the canyon. As he rolled down the hill Webber kept firing at him. and hit him twice more. When he went to Investigate, Franks was dead. Webber'B wenpon was a 30-30 calibre rllle. He and Franks were cousins, and the two had often hunted together. Con trary to previous planB, the inquest was held at Riddle instead of in Roseburg. The verdict of the jury was accidental death. Franks' funeral will be held under the direction of the local lodge of Trainmen from the residence of J. Wendell Wright, on Mill street, to morrow morning at 10:30 o'clock. Services will be conducted by Rev. J. A. Townsend, of the Presbyterian church, and interment will occur in Masonic cemetery.
