ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED The Body of Edward Hurlblirt FOUND IN THE RIVER Redmond, Ore., Dec. 22. This neighborhood has been the cene of quite a tragedy that re nulled in the death of Ed Hurl burt, manager ot the Cline Falls Power Company' ranch. Mr. Hurlburt was last seen alive by L. E. Pr.ckett about 11:30 a. ra. Saturday, as he started down over the bluff from the ranch house to the power house to turn on the ram that furnishes water to the house. Mr. Mailer, the cook, came in about noon from the schoolhouse, where he bad been helping trim a Christmas tree. He got his dinner, ate-it, washed the dishes, and left dinner on the table for Mr. II., whom he expected would be in Boon and re turned to the schoolhouse. When be again returned about 4 o'clock and found that no one had been there he commenced a search, starting down for the power house. When about two-thirds of the way down he saw a bat lying 'near the water and after going a little fur ther down- saw the body itself in the intake to the flume that leads down Jto the ram and turbine pump, lying face downward and floating in four or five feet of water. He drew the body out and went for assistance and with the help of Messrs. Bishop, Chase and Meredith, carried it to the house at the top of the hill. The first ones to see the body thought that they saw signs of foul play in what seeme9 to be a bullet wound at the inside of one eye. A close exam ination by the coroner, however, showed that this was not the case that there was no evidence of violence. A bruise on the fore head was found, but hardly one that would have had a serious effect. The brain seemed entirely normal, alxo the heart which was being examined at the time the writer was there. It seems that Mr. Hurlburt must have cleaned out the screens that let water down to the ram, gone down and started the ram, came back and crossed the flume, then perhaps have been taken with a fainting fit or heart failure. " A preliminary inquest was held Saturday evening befor Justice of the Peace Jones who was called, a final hearing before the coroner being set for Monday evening. The following are the jurors: Meredith, McCarty, Sears, the other mail carrier, Lilly and Har ader. The Prineville parties, the coroner, judge, sheriff and deputy arrived about 1 o clock today and will probably work all night. The deceased was a young man of exemplary habits who came here eight or nine months ago to take Mr. Thompson's place as manager of the company farm in which his brother, Mr. Hurlburt of the Shaniko bank, is quite a heavy stockholder. The brother is ex pected in from Shaniko some time tonight. The tragedy "has naturally put quite a damper on the Christmas festivities which were to take place Saturday night and they have been postponed until Wednesday evening. . E. C. Park. later , After a thorough investigation of the circumstances surrounding the death of ' the unfortunate young man the county authorities came to the conclusion that the drowning was accidental. Sheriff Elkins, Deputy Sheriff Combs, Judge Bell and Dr. Edwards went to Cline Falls Sunday to look into the affair. Dr. Edwards njade a postmortem and found no evidence of foul play. The brain and heart were examined which showed that there was neither blood clots nor hemorrhage. The heart showed there waa valvular in sufficiency which was pronounced enough to cause heart trouble. It is tbe opinion of the doctor that the exertions of the young man in going to the hydraulic ram caused an unusual flow of blood to tbe heart and this in turn made him sick. He felt the need of tome water and laying his hit aside on the bank proceeded to get it. In stooping over the embank ment of the intake became dizzy or lost consciousness and fell into the water. That the man was alive when he fell io is attested by tbe fact that water was found in his lungs. That Hurlburt ran or rather jumped down the sidehill is shown by bis foot prints in mak ing the descent to the stream. Redmond Item It does not look very much like a desert out this way with two whole days and nights of almost continuous showers. U. C. Bauer and Mr. Lauder- back are in from the ditch camp for some time. W. 8. McEwing was in BeiiJ for lumber the past week. He gets tired of rummaging around in tbe wet for stovewood. Several farmers of this vicinity were hauling from the Prineville Flouring Mill the latter part of the week. On a trip to O'Xeil last Wednes day three new houses that we bad not seen before, either completed or in process of construction, was all we could find. There is another one started the past week but it is not on that road. The house warming at W. E. Young's Friday night was entirely successful, about fifty being pres ent. Elegant refreshments were served. McLallin and Welch were among tbe hunters the past week. We did not hear whether they got any mountain sheep or not. Yours truly will soon have some more dead junipers and totem poles lying around when we get that new stump puller limbered up. Although the ladies labored un der quite a severe disadvantage on account of the weather they feel quite well satisfied with the out come of the bazaar. Quite a neat sum was realized from the saleof tbe many nice articles on band. E. C. Park. New Forms For Application and Proofs The department of the interior, geneaal land office at Washington, D.'
