news or Local Nature Prepared
for the Pnrusal or the Read
era of The (flat.
Rktudnrd tinoti CAt.iroiiHU.---Mr.
W. 11. Molina n arrived home iron)
California last Monday uiglit wliore he
naa oeen ror two or three weeks, Ink
ing much needed rait and renewing
old acquaintance. Mr. Dolman aays
that an InoreaM of bueineta activity In
the golden itata and especially in Ban
Pranoieoo ia quite noticeable, but that
notwithstanding the dampoeai of Ore
gon'i climate it is the more preferable
place in which to live.
Feeding thi Duck. It baa be
come quite the general custom with
market buntora to put feed Ink) lakes
where ducks frequent in order that
great numbers may become attached
to the place. Then after they bare
congregated In auffloient numbers the
hunter usually enjoys a good day'a
hooting. Wheat is the food gener
ally used, which is scattered over the
mud and sboat water of the lake so
that the birda may gather it. The
tluoke, however, are becoming educa
ted to this, and as one hunter ei-
J tressed It, "they come Into the small
akea after dark and leave before day
light, when they leave and congregate
far from shore in the large lakea and
stay there all day." It may be retnem
bered In this connection that ducks
re not geese.
SiMOVUB Coincidence. A short
time ago tramp by the name of
Rhodes, wbo.lt was claimed, had fallen
from a freight traio at Qoble, and who
waa seriously bruised about the bead
auffloient to render him unconscious,
was brought or sent to St. Helens from
Kslama for treatment, the authorities
on the other side claiming tbst aa he
was injured la Columbia county this
county should take care of him, which
was done, until he was able to go to
bia people who live at Pendloton. It
Is now asserted on what we believe to
be good auibority, that the boy was
first discovered in bia unconscious
condition in a boxcar over at Kalama
the neat day after the accident ia sup
posed to have happened, and al to bow
he got Into the ear no one knows only
the unidentified person who placed
him there. If this statement ia cor
rect we fail to aee what right the Ka
lama authorities bad to aend him to
Columbia county for treatment.

Event or thb BBaaoii. Perhaps
the most enjoyable affair so far thia
season waa that which took place at
Masonic ball Tuesday evening. It
waa Knights of Pythias lodge night,
nd ( the close of the lodge com
munication waa read wbicb waa in
wbatenee an invitation for all the
members to assemble at Masonic hail
tonoe and show cause, if any, why
twenty five men could not consume at
one eitting food auffloient lor eighty.
The Invitation was accepted, however,
nd Knighle and their ladies to the
number of forty-ilx presented them
aelvee at the place designated at about
8:15 o'clock. It waa most too exrly
for relrefhmente, so by the kindness
of Blavena Broa. violin was secured
nd there being already an organ In
the hall, Mr. N. A. Perry and Mr. D.
Davia furnished the music while others
enjoyed themselres for a couple of
hours dancing and in social conversa
tion. Several days previous to this
the ladies wives of members of the
order had inaugurated scheme to
entertain the ludge, and consequently
correspondence was opened up with
very lady whose huabaud was a mem
ber, accompanied by request for
eaob one to bring aomething for the
pread, and It ia needless to aay the
requeat waa generously responded to
einoe there was sufficient of good
things for twice the number present.
Lunoheon waa spread shortly after 10
o'clock, and in addition to the many
delicaoiea usually found on inoh oc
casions thero was hot tea and coffee,
nd also large can each of butter
milk and cream furuiahed by Mr.
Frank Dow. Luncheon being over
abort addroasea were made by aeveral
gentlemen and a vote of thanks ex
tended the Indies for their kindnese,
lso to the Masonic lodge for the use
of their ball and furniture, and to
Messrs. Perry and Davia for the music
Altogether the occasion waa voted the
moat joyous event which has taken
place in St. Helens for long time.
Those present were: Mr. and Mra.

about two weeka time shipped 4360
aog salmon to the Barnes cannery In
Portland. These fish were caught
with a seln on the beach just below
the Warrior rock lighthouse. In one
day be caught 601 of those fish, for
wmon ne realised 4 cents each after
paying ireight. The run of doges!
.nun wmm arraser mis vase man for a
long time, but at present there sre but
tew in the river, and the cannery has
stopped canning them. It is said that
up on L-ewls river at tho shoals men,
women and children were engaged
Willi pitchforks srwarincr thna. fi.h
and caught them in great quantities,
which were snipped to the cannery.
Many of them, it ia claimed, from
oomlng so far in fresh water and work
ing their way over the raoida of Lewi
river, were bruised and had treat sores
on them, and that the shipment of
fish In this condition waa the cause of
the cannery refusing to can more, and
consequently the parking of dogfish
has stopped, at laaat for the nresent.

Twisty Years Aao.Just twenty
years ago, November 6ih, occurred the
wreck of the ateamer Puniflo in the
straits near Victoria, In which 273 per
sons lost their lives. A Balemile in
the person of Barney Pompellier had
the good fortune to miss the boat and
waa thus saved. -Journal. A cousin
or the editor of the Democrat, Mr.
Hurlburt, of Rockwell 4 Hurlburt,
was one who did not miss the boat and
waa ou board. Mr. Hurlburt resides
in her o'd home in Broome county N.
Y where the writer paid her a visit
shortly after the disaster. For years
he hoped in vain that her husband
might have been saved. Bhe received
one letter from the coast a few years
ago elating that be bad escaped from
the vessel and waa in an insane asylum,
and another one from Milton, in this
tale, claiming he waa living there
with bia mind gone from the effeota of
getting away from the vessel ; but there
waa nothing in either. One was evi
dently scheme to get some money.

A Contradiction. Recently we
gave report of the "first marriage in
Oregon.1 Here ia an older one: "The
first marriage celebrated in the Will
amette valley waa that of Rev. Jason
Lee and Ann Maria Pittman, on June
16,1837. David Lea performed the
ceremony, and immediately after it
Cyrua 8hepherd and Susan Downing,
and Charles J. Roe and Nancy McKay
were also united, making of It trip
pie wedding. Mra. Jason Lee died
about year afterward, and with her
babe waa interred in the Lee Mission
cemetery, being the first grave pre
pared in Oregon for the reception of a
white mother and child. Rev. David
Leslie waa made a justioe of the peace
In 1839. He waa the Aral officer to
bear thia title In Oregon, and there
was more title than anything elae in
it, since bis appointment waa simply
acquiesced in by the attlers. Dr. A.
L. Hancock was Oregon s Brat supreme
judge. Ho waa eleoled when it wa
decided to do away with the olrice oi
governor in 1841. He was Instructed
to render bis decisions according to
the Code of New York. Mrs. Lee ia
an aunt oi Mra. nary Louise uo

TERRIBLE TRIPPLE MURDER
Boy Sixteen Years Old Under
Arrest for the Grime.
A Most Deliberate and Cold Blooded
Affair Perpetrated In Linn
County.
tlROWNsviua, Or. Nov. 19. This after
noon about o'clock, at the 8. K. Temple
ton farm, tlire miles east of Brownsville,
John Montfomsry, his wife and D. B. Mo
Kerctier were found dead, having been
murdered by unknown parsons.
Montgomery was funnd lying on his bark
hi tha front yard, near a picket fence, about
20 feet from the house, wllb the top of his
head blown on. McKercber was found In
the sitting-room, lying on his fsce, wllb a
ibot In the left side of the bead, part of tbs
kull gone, and with Montgomery's rifle
across hi legs, wbsre It had evidently been
placed. Mrs. Montgomery was found in
ths dining-room, lying on her face, shot In
ths back. All bad evidently been killed
while flaring Irom the murderer or mur
derers.
Mo cause for the deed Is known. Excite
ment here la Intense. Mo one but the mur
dered people were known to be on tb
premises at the time tbe tragedy was com
muted. Tbe coroner has been notified, but
no evidence has yet been tsken.
Later Particulars.
Bkowksvillb, Or., Nov. 20. Dr. K. A.
Jsynes, coroner of Linn county, arrived In
this city at 8 a. m., and proceeded to tbe
farm of 8. R. Tsmpleton snd Itnpanneled
a jury to Investigate the murder of John
Montgomery, Mrs. Utile Montgomery and
D. B. McKereher. The jury, after bearing
tbe evidence, returned a verdict signed by
A. Evans, as follows:
'Ws, ths jury, find that John Montgom
ery and Lime Montgomery, his wife, and
Daniel McKercber cams to their deaths by
gun-shot wounds, Inflicted by some other
persons than themselves, and, from the
evidence offered in the eaae, we bare good
reasons to believe tbat Lloyd Montgomery
Is ths guilty party."
Moyd Montgomery Is under arrest, and
a preliminary examination will be held here
at 10 a. m. tomorrow.
The following facts were brought out be
fore tbe Jury;
John Montgomery was shot first, while
landing at ths picket fence aoras 80 feet
from tbe bouse. The unfortunate man was
talking and whittling, as fresh cots upon
tbe weather (tained fence would indicate,
as do also the stick and pockstknlfe found
under him. Tbe shot, which with unerr
ing aim penetrated bis skull behind and
slightly a bore tbe left ear, tore away a large
portion of bis besd, his brains eacsplng and
falling to tbe ground. The circumstantial
evidence adduced at the inquest Indicates
that the asssaaln was concealed behind the
dwelling-house, from wbicb point the fatal
shot was fired. Montgomery, while In tbe
set of falling, clutched at the top of a picket,
bieaking It oft and dropping It at bis feet.
Tbe Indications were that McKercber
stood by tbe same fence, in conversation
with Montgomery, snd in this position wss
bot at, ths ball failing to do great injury,
but passing oross tha back of bis neck, mak
log a bright scarlet mark. McKercber then
ran to ths house, begging for life, but re
ceived the second shot in the back of ths
head, ust after erosaing tbe threshold of
the sitting-room door. The rifle, a 8S-56
caliber, which wai carefully plaoed across
ths legs of McKercber, was this morning
found by tbe coroner's Jury to be loaded
and half-cocked. Upon being picked up It
exploded sending a ball through the celling
above, showing conclusively tbst none of
the murdered people could have used the
weapon.
A close examination shows thst Mrs.
John Montgomery was sbot twice. Instead
of once, as ststed In former reports; once
In ths forehead and again in the back, just
below the left shoulder blade, the latter
bullet passing through the heart and chest.
Tbs appearancaa indicate that the unfor
tunate lady, upon hearing tbe noise of the
shooting, atarted from tbe kitchen, on a
line with tbe sitting-room door, and, after
receiving ths first bullet wound in the bead
turned towards the kitchen and was again
shot In the back.
A rifle was found sgalnst the wall in the
bedroom, covered with blood and hair.
The gun was Identified as Lloyd Mont
gomery's.
It was learned from Lloyd Montgomery,
who Is 16 years ef aae, thst he was st home
yesterday afternoon. He says bis father,
John Montgomery, sent him after a bone
out In the pasture, 10 or 13 minutes before
the shooting, and that be did not return
until after the younger children came back
from school and found the desd bodies.
Lloyd seems to be the only person who Is
known to havs been oa the place when the
shooting occurred. He told Charles Mc
Dowell yesterday that be picked tbe gun
up from the floor and placed It across Mo-
Kercher's legs. Today In bis testimony be
partly acknowledged that he placed the
Kim upon McKercher's body in the posi
tion found.
The bodies were found by Montgomery's
younger children when they returned from
school, about 4 o'olock, a few minutes after
the shooting. Tbey called In Or. J. F.
Henry, who was passing, and be gave tbe
alarm. The news spresd with great rapid
ity, and within two hours people had gath
ered at the scene of the murder from nil
neighboring points. A messenger was dis
patched to Brownsville with tbe news, out
when he arrived he was so excited he eould
not tell an intelligent story.

A FRATERNAL VISIT.
Which waa Attended by Both Joys
nd Displeasures.
Thursday evening, a week ago ssversl of
the members of Avon lodge, Knights of
Pythias, of this place, paid Kalama lodge a
fraternal visit, among those attending being
J as. Sheldon, VV. B. Dillard, J. R. Beegle,
Jas. Muckle, Jas. Cox, Chas. Doan, Cbas.

Dr. H, K. Cliff. T, J. Cleeton, Frank Dow,
J. O. Wstta. N. A. Perry, D. J. Bwltser, W.
A. Harris, M. C. Gray and D. Davis. Ons
of tbe small but commodious river steamers
had bom chartered for tbe trip, and the
excursion party left this place about 7
o'clock in the evening, and tbe trip was
mads to Kalama with no particular dif
ficulty, save that of tearing away a part of
tbe Dser island jetty. At abaut 8 o'clock
ths steamer's whistle was tied don, soms
of the boys ssld for tbe purpose of
notifying the steamer Philadelphia, wbicb
was expected to bs coming up the river, to
get out of our way, ond If necessary, give
up the river, for we certainly needed all
the room there was. It wss afterward dis
covered that a number of gentlemen of the
sir Knight order were awaiting tbe arrival
of tbe boat at Kalama and this mssns was
resorted to In order that tbey might know
tbat the boat was in the river somswbere
shove that city. After soms uncertain nav
igating we arrived at tbe Kalama wharf,
and were enthusiastically welcomed, when
we proceeded in a body to the palatial cas
tle bsll of Kalama lodga, where we wit
nessed ludge work lit two ranks the sec
ond sad third. Tbe time occupied at this
proceeding wss about three hours, but
could bs ve been accomplished in much less
time but the rat and snake were a little
stubborn, benee the delay. Anyhow, tbe
goat gave up tbe task, and admitted tbe
candidate to membership In tbe lodge at
12 o'clock. Mr. Jacobs, tbe efficient com
mander of tbat lodge, told the visitors and
brethren to fall Into line and follow him,
which we did; and to our surprise be took
us to the city restaurant, where had been
prepared a most sumptuous supper, and it
goes without ssying that all did justice to
tbe meal but not to themselves. Several
toasts were responded to. and tbe crowd
thought Itself sbjut ready to leave tbe
room when It was discovered tbat Newton

oysters, meat, cake and pie in equal pro
portions, was on the Boor, under the table,

trying to lasso them for use later in the
morning. Mewton explained tbat tbe
weather was quite thick and he might need
several meals before he got home. Tbe
steamer left Kalama at 1 o'clock In tbe
morning, besded for St. Helens, but tbs
time of proceeding was limited to a few
minutes owing to peculiar meteorological
conditions over which the crowd seemed
to have no perceptible control, and soon we
fouod ourselves over in Deer island slough,
looking for "Bill" Council's creamery. We
suddenly changed our minds about want
ing to come home, and the entire list of
passengers got out and turned the steamer
into Connell's cow corral, and we all felt
much more pleased sod nearer our sphere,
and where we thought it best tq remain un
til daylight, at least. About 5 o'clock In
tbe morning some supernatural influence
was brought to bear and atmospheric con
ditions changed, so that tbe homeward
journey was resumed, and at about 8
o'clock Friday morning we reached our
destination, and everybody felt relieved,
except, possibly, three or four at the boys
who thought they could mske better time
by walking, reached this place about 15
minutes ahead of the steamer.

berlain's Cough Remedy to be the
best I have handled." Mr. W. H.
Hitchcock, Columbus, Wash., aaya:
"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy sells
well and ia highly praised by all who
use it."
The Ststte Insurance Company.
On his way home from California
Mr. W. H. Dolman atopped over one
day at Salem to examine into the con
dition of the State Insurance Com
pany and another day at Portland to
arrange for reinsuring in the Home
Mutual Insurance Company, of which
company he was for several years the
St. Helens agent, and has consented
to again act aa their agent for this
town and the oounty at large.
In a few days Mr. Dolman will be
able to impart full information to tbe
policy holders in the State Insurance
Company and the basis and rebates
on which policies would be taken up
and reinsurance made in the Home
Mutual Insurance Company. Mr.
Dolman ia of the opinion that the
State Insurance Company's failure re
sulted from two principal causes, via:
Large dividenda in the good timea left
too small a reserve fund, and many
risks were insured at above actual val
uation when taken, making it often
profitable for the insured to let the
properly burn. By over valuation the
State Insurance Company accumu
lated a good deal of money and paid
it out in dividenda to stockholders.
But whtin hard timea came and con
tinned, eveu the excellent manage
ment of Mr. Edmond C. Oiltner could
not tide over the fortunes of a com
pany that bad been conducted only on
a good-times basis. I
Bet the Jail on Fire. j
Cottaqb Qiova, Nov. 19. Robert Alex
ander, who was bound over yesterday to
appear before the circuit court on a obarge
of obtaining money by false pretenses, at
tempted to kill himself by setting Are to
tbs Lematt Jail, at 5 o'olock this morning.
Wheu the Are commenced to beat up his
apartment and the smoke grew dense, he
evidently changed his suicidal intention
and commenced to scream for help. The
jail was soon broken open with an ax, and
Alexander resoued, but he was almost un
conscious. Tbe fire was quickly exttn
gulshed, burning a large hole in the floor.
A letter wss found, addressed to a woman
friend of his, saying he would ratber die
than lie In jail. He wss conveyed to tbe
county Jail at Eugene this morning.
