Accident, While Hauling Hay

WAS A PROMINENT MAN
Elliott Prairie Man h Thrown
Under Horses Feet and is
Killed Instantly
. Andrew Todd, a well known resident
of Elliott Prairie, was accidenly killed
while working In his place Saturday
afternoon. Mr. Todd was riding on a
load of straw when the front stan m
the rack snapped, causing the front
end of the load on which he was rid
ing to slide forward, throwing him
under the horses . feet. Becoming
frightened at the accident, the horses
ran away, and one wheel Btrlklng Mr.
Todd broke his neck and killed
him instantly, mr. iouu wo-
about sixty years of age,- was a native
of England. He was a graduate of
the University of Edinburgh, Scotland,
and for many years in his early life
was a surveyor for the Australian
government. Mr. Todd has lived on
Elliott Prairie for the past twenty
five years where he has followed farm
ing. He is survived by a wife and six
children.
A Nimble Nimbus.
A cripple, minus one leg, and with
the other Injured in some manner,
' arrived in this city Monday afternoon
from Portland, with a good cargo of
trouble water aboard. In spite of the
ha viaa "full tn thfi PHArdfl"
laul ma. ii ... o
the mendicant behaved himself till
about 7 o'clock In the evening, when
he decided that little old Oregon City
was much too quiet for him and be
gan to "whoop her up" at a great rate,
being not the least choice In the selec
tion of his words. Officer Cooke at
tempted to remonstrate with the man,
but the cripple soon showed, to the
officer's great surprise, that, although
he was a little bit short in the com
plement of lower extremities, he was
perfect In the use of his arms, for,
catching the officer unawares, he dealt
him a blow that sent him spinning.
Men of much worse dlspition than
the one In question, most of them with
two legs, have been handled by offi
cers before, as the maimed offender
soon learned to his dismay, as officers
Cooke and Brown took him by the
shoulders and arms, and another man
LOOK mm sruuua m puna ui
legs, and he was quickly ushered to
the city bastile. All the way to the
Jail, and while he was being searched,
the man proved to the officers beyond
a doubt that he was past master In
the art of using bad language, as he
emitted a constant stream of oaths
and profanity that would make a sa
loon porrott or a printer turn green
with envy. Tuesday morning, the

INDIANS BACK
WITHOUT COIN
Arrested at Dalles After Warm
Time in California
MILES BRINGS PAIR BACK
Red Skins Who Purloined
Cash From Old Squaw
In County Jail
Constable Miles went to Dallas
Tuesday evening to bring Albert and
Louisa Ferris, an Indian couple to
this city, where they are wanted for
robbery. The theft for which the pair
were arrested occurred August 27,
when they succeeded In stealing $120
from Johanna Susan Klamath, an In
dian woman, nearly 100 years of age,
who for a good many years has made
her home in a cabin In Greenpolnt
Johanna Is well , krmwn among the
early settlers here, and for a number
of years was a servant In the house'
hold of Dr. John McLoughlln, founder
of this city. The Indians, who are
from the Grand Ronde Reservation, In
company with a-daughter, spent sev'
eral weeks around this city last sum-
nier, and made a good many calls on
the aged squaw. On the night of Au
gust 27, Johanna, returning to her
cabin from a short absence, saw Fer
rls leave the cabin through a window,
On examination she found that $120,
her hard earned savings, and a gold
ring had disappeared. Chief of Police
Burns was notified, and a search was
at once begun for the copper colored
offenders, but It was learned that the
daughter had been sent back to the
reservation, while the parents visited
points of Interest ,ln California, the
;.aoh naorl tnv fh'A trln hplne the sav
ings of old Johanna. The officers of
Polk county were notified to keep a
watch for the couple. So when they
returned from their jaunt Sunday
night, they learned that' at least two
more trips were In store for them, a
trip to the Polk county Jail and a trip
to Oregon Cfty. Officer Miles allowed
each of the aborigines to wear a brace
let, but as a matter of convenience for
him, the bracelets were welded to
gether with a strong steel chain, and
the key reposed In the officer's pocket,
Officer Miles arrived In this city
Tuesday afternoon with his dusky
prisoners, and they were at once tak
en to the county Jail. None of the
missing money was found In their po
session, buUthey carried a suitcase
full of articles .dear to the heart of
an Indian that were recently pur
chased. The two will be tried Friday
afternoon In Justice Samson's court.

MILWAUKEE
Rev. A. N. Shupp, pastor of the Mil-
waukee Evangelical church, will ar
rive home the first of next week, (and
not alone either), for he has taken
unto himself a wife, during his visit
at Elkhart, Indiana. It Is apparent to
all his friends now, why he was so
particular in putting down that cement
sidewalk in front of his residence. Mr.
Shupp has made many friends during
his stay here and his home coming
will be looked for with great interest,
particularly by his congregation and
the dispensers of rice and Its attend
ant Marshal Keck is busy these days

known, that Mr. Ballard Is an enthus
iastic "Knight," being vice-president
of Milwaukee Council No. 1458
Knights and Ladles of Security, and
one of Its charter members, and he
will talk up the order In great shape,
during his stay In Humboldt, and If
any one accompanies him home, rest
assured they will have to wear the
"K. & L." button, which has no sem
blance to a policeman's star.
Mrs. Maggie Johnson has opened a
real estate and insurance office in the
Snyder Block, and makes her Initial
bow in a business way, to all those
who need insurance, or want their
property sold.

uled for Oct. 23 have decided upon the
question, "Resolved, That the Indians

At the time he was arrested, Mow,
who Is very old. and on the way to
senllty, was whipping his horses at a
furious rate because they were unable
to pull a loaded wagon up the Singer
H1U grade.
Mow was brought before Justice

plained "that he thought the horses
were balking, or he would not have
used the whip. Seeing the old man's

DAUGHTER HAS
DISAPPEARED
Fearing She is In Opium Den,
Father Notifies Police
LEFT WITH A CHINAMAN
Oregon City Girl Missing
Since Sunday, and it is
Fear ed In Bad Hands
Wlnnogne Gardner, the 17-year-old
daughter of L. E. Gardner of Una city
has disappeared, and her father has
notified the Portland police that It Is
his opinion that she left with a young
Chinaman, Toy Que, also known as
Sam Young, and at present Is held a
prisoner amid the revolting stench of
the opium dens of Portland's China-
kown. The father is nearly crazed
over the awful fate that has probably
overtaken his daughter, and lb band
lng every effort to find her.
The girl left Saturday, ana the first
knowledge her folks had of her dis
appearance was the same day, when
they found that she had packed a
good many of her belongings in a
suit case and tanon thiB with ber.
Hoping against hope, the latner wait
ed till Monday, when In agonized
tones he related his sad stor to the
Portland police.
The missing girl Is said to be beau
tiful, and is also said to be ol a rather
romantic disposition, so it is conjec
tured that the celectlal took adin
tage of the latter, and painted for
the misguided girl a future that, un
fortunately for herself and family, she
believed was possible. It Is supposed
that by this time she has awakened
from her dreams to the debasing reil
Itles of life among the opium dens.
It Is to be feared that the girl, awak
ing too late to her situation, may try
to end her life, and the police are
bending every effort to find her.
