Mrs Jos. Chapman, of Grants Pass,
,..n,',. ,f Mrs. (i. C. Noble, of Med
ford. committed suicide by jumping
into -Rogue river at the Roy dam
somotfnie Sntarduy night. He.' body
t....A at f.hi ruck built across
the rioror below the dam to turn fish
into the tishway by Job. Caskey, about
a ..i..k finmlnv afternoon. Caskey
was lying on the bridge above the
water watching the nsn wueu no
.,i,t uht. of a woman's dress in the
water, by looking a little closer ha
could distinguish the outlines 01 uei

cealed by the foot log along the
rack and people had Been wanting
i., lmr ull dav.- Coroner Cani-

. eron was telephoned for, but oould
not be reached. J. H. Butler, 'the
undertaker, went down and brought
the remains to Medford on tne mio,
' i,t train, where they were identl
' fled Monday morning by P. ' M.
Stewart.
As nearly aa can be learned, Mrs.
Chapman had been afflicted with
suicidal mania for several years, and
had . threatened on numerous occa
sions to drown herself. She had been
stopping with her daughter, Mrs.
Noble, for several weeks, and on
Saturday evening suddenly announced
her intention of going to Rogue river.
Mrs. Noble was unable to dissuade
her, and she proceeded to the depot
about train time and bought a ticket
for Tolp. That evening she was met
on the railroad track near the dam
by one of the workmen, sent out to
warn travelers when blasts were being
set off. This man stopped her until
the blasting was over and then paid
no further attention to her, supposing
sue was just one of the ububI visitors.
Evidently some time afterward she
jumped into the river. She porhnps
entered the river above the dam, as a
severe gash on the head would seem
to indioate that she had floated over
the dam and struck on the rooks be
low. Mr nhnnmHii was in her 67th year
at the time of her death. The funeral
took place from the undertaking par
lore of the Medford Furniture Co.
Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Chapman, who is an inmate of
the Oregon Soldiers' Home, at Rose
burg, arrived Monday night.

A Serious Accidcnl.
Robinson Wright, the well-known
pioneer of Butte creek, was the vic
tim of a severe acoideut Friday even
ing, which may result seriously.
Mr. Wright was up in the mow of his
bam throwing down hay for his
horses, when his foot slipped in some
way and he fell to the hard ground
beneath. HiB right thigh bone was
fractured at the hip by the fall. Mr.
Wright is well advanced In years,
which, together, with the nature of
the injury, makes the case a serious
one. L. Wade came in Sunday even
ing after the injured man's daughter,
Mrs. Stanley, who left Monday morn
ing for Butte creek, to take care of
her father. .

in marriage to Wilmer C Cartwright.
The double parlors were tastefully

green, while the dining room was
draped in red. A vocal solo by Mrs.
W. W. Bates preceded the entrance of
the bridal party. As Mrs. E. E.

Earl Gaddis, took their places to
awuit the bride and her party. The

Miss Katie Angle, passed.
The bride was gowned in a beauti
ful creation of white silk mull over

tious, aud was given away by ' her
step-father, Mr. Slover. After a short
and impressive ceremony, pronounced
by Rev. P. W. Carstens, of the First
Baptist church, of Medford, dainty
refreshments wore served.

beautiful and made a handsome dis

refined, and possess the many qualifi
cations which have always made her
prominent in all social gatherings,
while the groom, who is a son of Owal

10 DEATH
PUEBLO, Colo., Aug. 8. One hun
dred lives were blotted out by he
wreck last night of ' the Missouri
Pacific Fiver, on the Denver & Rio
Grande raiload, near .ldou, eipht
miles north of Pueulo. Tne. train
struck a weakened bridge over an ar-
royo, which had been Hooded by a
cloudburst. The water was fiowiug
over the trestle when the tram started
across. The bridge went down un
der the weight of the train, aud the
baggage car, smoker aud chair ear
were precipitated into tuo urrreui,
-Thn nmriiiA tfot almost 801'OBB. but
fell back into the water The body of
Engineer Hinmau was lounu w reev
down the river. .
All the cars were washed down
stream. The express safe waB round
open and its contents gone. The cars
were found four miles troni me scene
of the accident, half filled with sand,
in which wore buried tne oouies oi
naaaAnirarii. . TOO cars were
not located until several hours after ,
the time of the accident.
At 3 o'clock over fifty bodies had
been recovered from the wreck and
others are expected momentarily.
Passenger train No. 11, the Denver
& Rio Grande aud Missoui Pacific
wnviri'a Fair Fiver, is the fastest
train sent out of Denver by the Den
ver & Uio Grande, and usually camea
. 1,,. nnHKHntrer list. Yesterday
the train was made up of six curs
express, diner, chair car auu twu
sleepers. Nearly every coach was
well tilled when tbe train puueu urn,
of Denver at 5 o'clock.
The train makes the run to Colora
do Springs in two hours and five
minutes. One hour aud ten minutes
is the schedule time from Colorado
Springs to Pueblo, and the heavy
train was whilriug along through the
storm to make this fast time when it
dropped into the stream.
Wires being down, only bulletins
giving meager details of the disaster,
could be obtained here, during the
night. The disaster waB the worst
thiit. has ever occurred on the Denver
& Rio Gaude railroad.
Dry creek, where the accident. Hap
pened, is one of the most dangerous
points on the road. It is not far
from Butte, where two years ago
washouts occurred which crippled the
service of the line,, but entailed no
loss of life. It is close to the foot
hills, which by reason of repeated
cloudbursts and washouts, have been
slowly closing iu, the bed of the creek
continually becoming deeper, until
it has reached a depth of about twenty-five
feet.
Trains Nos.3 and 15, preceding
No. 11, passed over the bridge and
reached Pueblo safely. The rains had
been seVore, but danger was not ap
prehended at Dry creek, as a recent
inspection showed that the bridge
was in first-class condition. No re
ports of trouble on the line were re
ceived at Pueblo at i o'clock that
train No. 11 had been wrecked.
Just prior to that time there were
reports that a heavy rainfall was in
progress in the vicinity of Eden, but
there was no intimation of a cloud
burst. So far as the officials of the
road can determine, the engineer evi
dently did not see the trouble until
it was too late to stop the train, which
was going at a right rapid rato of
spued.
Mr. Be man's Ideal .Mountain Home.
J. W. Ling, the painter and paper
hanger, returned Monday from a two
weeks1 stay at the home of J. W.
Ben-inn, on Elk creek, where he, with
two men. have been at work painting
and papering. Mr. Ling is saying all
manner of pretty things of Mr. Ber
riaii's new home. Say it is an ideal
mountain home, and. if situated in a
oity would be as much of an ideal
there as among the tall pines of Elk
creek ' ' '-
The house has four large roomB on
the first floor, together with a large
onllar house and pantry, and around
the entire building am porches from
ten to sixteen feet in width. There
are Ihvfw large sleeping rooms above,
also a bath room. The exterior of
the bouse' is prtintd a niv.' white,
while the window similes ar traced in
a bronze green, and the interior is
finished in hard oil. The houPe Is
situated in the midst of a grove of
tall pine and fir tivi.' and the pure
white of the houf with the green
foliago of the trees furronnding pre
sents a picture one cannot look unnn
but. to admire look again and realize
a growing admiration, and a denirej
to feast the eye upon the grandeur of
nature to which has been addsd the
beautifying effect of man's master1
hand. Pure mountain water' is carried1
to all parts of the house, and while
'tis as a whole a beautiful house its
convenience surpasses oveu its great
beauty. Messrs. D. W. Hanel and F.
Annum did the .carpenter- work ou
this house, and Mr. Berriau is very
complimentary in his , remarks, as to
the merits of the work performed. -
Mr. fierrinn has, .160 acres of land
here aud while it is not ail agrieul-,
tore land a goodly number of 1 acres j
hiive been cleared, broken and seeded.
flo has sixteen acres of as fine alfalfa
as is grown any place in Oregon audi
he is going to plant a lr.iger acreage. !
Ho is buying thoroughbred cattle aud
hogs aud hopes soon to have a line,
band of each.
Mr. Ling tells that there is another;
very pretty and polltablo homo being
made up Elk creek the same being
that of Mr. Tucker, who purekused the
Pellett-Helms' 300 acre tract, a ' few
years ago. Mr. Tucker has about
100 acres of fine alfalfa growing, be
sides other crops and still owub good
lan 4 fit for crops. He has but re
cently built a fine house the same
having beeu constructed of boulders
aud cement.' The dwelling is octagon
in Bhape aud was built at a cost of
over 2500. This fall he will have the
exterior walls cemented and blocked
off to repesent square cut stone.
Salmon at Ray Dam.
There has been a good deal said
about fish being obstructed at the
Ray dam on Rogue river, and it has
been claimed that the fish were pack
ed so tightly iu the river that one
could walk across on their backs.
While it is no doubt true that when
the dam was first finished it was
impossible for the fish to get over it ;
but thats difficulty has been removed
to a great extent; by tho building of
a fiehway. so that now the fish are
passing freely into the upper river.
Muster Fish Warden Van Dusen re
ports as follows:
'"While salmon are stopped aud in
terferred with to a considerable ex
tent by this dam, very few are being
injured in any way, and they are
passing up through the fish ways that
have been provided and are getting
above the dam as fast as we can ex
pect. On investigation recently 1
found they wore going up through the
fishways at the rate of 2000 or IW00
a day. and that thoy have been going
at this rate for two weeks. Two
thousand a day is a very conservative
estimate. By a very careful count',
made by State Water Bailiff Williams,
who is thero continuously to see that
the fishways are kept clour and tho
fish are not molested in any way, it
appears that some days 5000 or 10,000
have passed over the dam. --
"D. H.. Miller, of Medford, who
fishes a great deal with rod and line
on the upper Rogue river, aud who
has been very much interested iu see
ing that the fish get above this dam,
writes me he was down to the dam
July 25th, inspected both the fishways
and figures that salmon were going
through both fishways at the rate of
250 an hour. He was there in the
middle of the day .and from evening
to morning he figures that we could
count on double that number.
"Notwihstauding the fact that thoy
are passing above the dam iu such
numbers, others are continually com
ing np tho river to take their places.
This keops tho pools below the dam
literally alive with salmon and other
fish, eager to get by tho obstruction,
which makes it appear to a causal
observer that the same fish are there
today that wore first stopped and has
caused all this complaint,
"With a massive structure, like
this dam, conditions will alwayB be
about this same way. Pish ascending
the stream will be stopped, some
times in great numbers, and It will
take them a few days or a week be
fore they will satisfy themselves suf
ficiently to enter and take the ladder
fish way contrivance in order to get
above the obstruction."
Welcomed as an Old Friend.
Mrs. G. C. Dickey, formerly of
Sams Valley, now living at Corvallis,
writes The Mail an follows :
"We have decided to stay in Cor
vnllis for some time, perhaps all win
ter,so we will be very thankful if you
will pond us your paper, as it has all
the home news and is welcomed as
an old friend. Cor vail is is a nice
place, but It needs some of Mud ford's
cutei-pise to ftir it up aud make them
fix tiif ir side walks, tear down tin
flightly buildings, etc."
