Oiiitcaby. Died lit Canby, Febru
ary 25ili, Mian Vanilla RiifS t dauKhter
of Wesley and Lizzie Riggs o( Canby.
Miss Riggs was born at Macksburgon
the 27 lb of April. 1877, to waa but 18
years, 8 month and 28 days old. She
was converted at Hood River nnder the
labors of Rev. J. II. Wood, when but
IS years of age, and united with the M.
E. church and Epworth League of
Canby, during my pastorate there. I
found her to be an earnest and loyal
member, 'ready at all times to do what
be could. For some time prior to her
illness the made Gladstone . her
home, but on the 16th of February she
returned1 fo Csfiby 'quite sick. At'flrst
it was thought she had a severe attack
of la grippe, bat as the decease pro
grossed it proved to be a severe caw
of typhoid fever. She was bedfast only
a week, she suffered much. The
funeral waa held from the M. E. church
at Canby on the 27th. A large con
course of friends met to pay the last
respects to the body of the dead. We
laid her away in the cemetery to await
the day when . the earth and sea
give up their dead and the corruptible
bodies of those who sleep in Him aball
be changed and made like Ilia own
glorious body. W. J. Gardner, pastor
of the M. E. church, Hubbard, Oregon.
Taa Whitmwc Indian Masbacbb.
When the excavation was made for the
foundation of the west pier of the sus
pension bridge of Oregon City, the re
mains of five human beings,4 which had
evidently been buried In one pit, were
exhumed. It was easily seen from the
abape of the skulls that they had be
longed to Flathead Indians, but no one
at that time could form any idea how
Indians of that tribe came to be burled
here. Mr. H. C. Campbell, who had
charge of the work, caused the bones to
be gathered up and stored them in a
building near by, and they were for
gotten for the time. Since, lie hag
learned that five c f the Indians who
took pirt in the Whitrntn in mac re
were brought to Oregon City, wliere
they were tried and banged, and It Is
now considered certain that the re
mains exhumed were thrum of these five
Indians. On looking for the bones
lately, it waa found that they had been
molested, snd the skulls carried off, it
is supposed, by boys. If i lie bonei are
really those of Indians executed for the
Whitman massacre, the skulls would be
greatly prized for the collection of the
Oiejon Historical Society, and inquiry
should be made to find out if they can
not be recovered . Oregonian.

sell In Butteville in spite of the people,
