A.A. 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.
