Crushed to Death
in the Mountains
A voune man by the name of Bus-
sett, a nephew of Pan Bussett of
Powell Butte, was crushed to death
on the summit of the Cascades yes
terday.
Pan Bussett and his two sons, to
gether with his nephew, who but
recently came from Oklahoma, plan
ned a huckleberry trip to the Cas
cades. One of the boys and the
nephew undertook to climb a high
bluff at the foot of Mt. Jefferson to
obtain a better view of the Willam
ette valley. They climbed up half
a mile beyond the snow line and
while standing on a ledge viewing
the country to the west young Bus
sett noticed a dangerous crack just
back of where they were standing.
He did not like the looks of it so
got back and sat down on the
ground behind it. He had scarcely
done so when he noticed his cousin
throw up his hands and disappear,
together with the ledge upon which
he was standing.
The boy returned to camp and
notified the father of what had hap
pened. Getting ropes the search
for the body commenced. It was
found crushed beyond all recotrni
tion. It must have fallen 200 feet,
Pan Bussett says, to where it
lodged. It had to be lowered 200
feet more by ropes before it could
be taken to camp.
Jim Toney brought the remains
to Redmond where they were
buried.
Fire Destroys j Lightning Strikes
Dillon Feed Bam! Hay Stacker
LOCAL MENTION
I
A fire broke out in the old Dillon '
Feed Yard barn Tuesday at noon. 1
It started near the south door and
in a few minutes the place was a
mass of flames. Everything was
saved but a f 50 set of harness be-;
longing to Adolnh Sohrickel and five
tons of hay belonging to the lesee, I
Otto Sontag. !
How the fire started is not known, i
Mr. Sontag was at dinner when the
fire started and could not say how
it originated. The old barn was
wrecked. There was no insurance.
Lightning struck a stacker lie-
longing to Bruce tlrav on Camp
creek last week and nearly put it
out of commission. The bolt struck
the stacker and then the hay stack.
Fifteen tons of hay were burned
and it was only by heroic work that
four other stacks were saved. The
hay crew worked all night in their
efforts to stay the flames. The
stacker was badly damaged.
