The exact particulars concerning the sad happening has not yet been ascertained other than while he bruised or injured himself in some way, blood poisoning set in, and he was taken to a hospital at Rose- burg where he died a few hours after his arrival there. The body was brought to Independence on Thursday m d was taken in charge by the Odd Fellows’ lodge, of which the deceased was a member. A fter the impressive ceremonies of that groat Order, interment was made in the cemetery south of Independence. Raymond S. Reeves was born Dec. 20, 1889 near Aval- son, Livingston county, Missouri, and was 29 years, nine months and three days old at the time o f his death. When Ray wa's Kvo years old his parents moved to Mountain Grove, Mo. From there in 1907 the family came to Inde pendence, Oregon. For the past two years the young man had been working in the ship yards at Portland. While on a vacation, the incidents that led to liis death occurred. Besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Reeves, respected residents of this city, he is survived by six sisters and one jrotlier as follows: Mrs. Jessie M. Sanders o f Mountain O^ove, Mo., Mrs. Grace E. Brown of Mountain Grove, Mo., Mrs. Dora E. Croft o f Portland, Mrs. May M. Croft of Portland, Mrs. Nelllie O. Millhouser of Suver, Mrs. Gladys I. Todd of Independence and G. Earl Reeves o f Inde pendence. Ray was a young man who made friends easily and thus md a large acquaintance among which he was much es teemed. He was very industrious and at all times gave satisfactory service to those who employed him. His so- icitude for the welfare of his parents was a cardinal vir- ue that made him greatly respected by all who knew him. Strong, robust, in the best o f health, illness came upon iim at a time when he was the least prepared to combat it. Had he not been miles away from medical assistance, lis excellent physical self would have easily conquered he affliction. His death, so sudden and untimely, was an unusually hard blow to his mother and father. The parents, sisters and brother have the sympathy of ill in their time o f great sorrow. I. M. SIMPSON’S SALE WAS A BIG EVENT (Monmoulh Herald.) The auction sale on the I. M. Simpson farm last Satur- ay was more than an incident in the agricultural life of he south half of Polk county; it was an event. Something ike 150 automobiles were parked in the yard and along he roadway andat least five hundred people attended the lie. The free lunch at noon was a big affair, the quests jeing served cafeteria style. Many women and children were present, and warmed in the clear sunlight o f an ideal autumn day, the gathering was like a sectional reunion or neighborhood picnic. Groups o f men and women discuss ed crops and neighborhood gossip and the young people investigated the pressure water system or took turns at riding in the litter carrier or engaged in pitched battle with hales o f hay as the breast works and green apples as ammunition. The circle around the auctioneer was con stantly from five to ten deep and bidding was spirit ed. The sales total in the neighborhood o f $5,200. One horse sold for $200 and another for $150. A single Lincoln buck brought $32, and a pen o f 1H yearlings sold for $30 each. The goats sold for $3.50 each and a Hock o f turkeys sold for $3.50 each.
