Laat Tuewlav eveninu Patrick Gibnon, a (armor reaiillng near MackaburK, waa run over and lnaUntly killed by the 8outbrn Pacific overland train at the waiton road croatiing about two uiilen oiith of tli if city. Uibaon brought a load of grain into the city Tneaday, sold it and proceeded to yet Klorioualy intoxicated. Toward evening lie atarted (or home, followed by J. P. Ilepler, neighbor, whohadaloo been delivering grain in the city. Gibnon Htopoed hia team and refused to go on and llepler drove on and left him, thinking- he would follow along and reach home all right. Gibaon got aa far aa Tliomaa Linilaay's place, near where the accident occurred, when he turned hia ten in around and atarted buck to Oregon City to look fur licpler. lie did not get fur until he turned and atarted for home once more, but not until he had been warned (hat it waa train time and that he waa near train time and that be waa waa within lOOyarda of the crossing. Gib aon'a only rexponae waa that he was not afraid aa hia old bora "would eat oata out of the fire box." From the time that elapHed between the watning and the accident it il thought Gibson had hi team on the track and that the engine struck between the wagon and the learn. Gibson's head and right hip were crushed, while his body was covered with contusions and bruises without number and death must have been instantaneous. One horse was killed outright and the other horse was so leverely injured that it was mercifully shot by Dr. Carll, who was on the train. The wagon waa completely demolished and ground Into kindling wood. The place where the accident occurred la literally a death trap. The railroad and wagon run side by side for a mile or more with a board fence between and hardly more;han room enough tor one road, the crossing being on a curve not easily seen by the engineer. Relatives took charge of the remains after the coroner's inquest and buried them from the church at New Era Thurs day morning. The funeral was conducted by Jlev. A. Hillebrand, of St. John's Catholic church. The following is the verdict of the coroner'a jury ; juay's vkboict. We, the jury impaneled by W. N. Godfrey, coroner of Clackamas county, Oregon, to investigate the cause of the death of the body found near Canemah, find that the name of said person was Pat Gibson, residing near Marksbury, Oregon, of about the age of 50 years; that death was caused instantaneously by the said Pat Gibson being struck by an engine of the Southern Pacific com pany on the evening of the 21st day of September, 1897, at the first railroad crossing south of Canemah in Clacka mas, county, Oregon, and we, the said jury, exonerate the said Southern Paci fic company of any negligence or fault what ever in causing the death of said Pat Gibson.

FROM THE KLONDIKE t'OUJITBT. John A. Confer Writes or Ills Expe riences En Route. In a letter to E. E. Williams the grocer, written at Lake Bennet September 8. John A. Confer tells some things that are of special Interest to his friends herea bouts. The letter was mailed at Mary Island, Alaska. September 15and reached Oregon City Sunday morning, the l'Jth. Confer wrote by the light of a candle, which he says was very dim though it cost him 50 cents. He says all the horses belonging to the party died on the Skaguay trail. Tne supplies be started trom Portland with he left near the coast and bought another outfit, near the lakes. A boat that would carry about four tons cost bim $200 at Lake Bennett. "It is a touxh layout" says Confer, "but I am going through if I live. There are hundreds turning back, but that makes no difference to me. I started to go through and if I don't I will know the reason why, though it is going to cost me adollar a pound to get ray outfit through. I am all rkbt, I won't have any money left but I will have a year's supplies, about 800 pounds. I will sail in five or six days, but I don't think I will go down as far as Dawson this winter. The moun tains are white with enow and it freezes some at night. "Since we came to Skaguay about 4000 people have landed there. Out of that number about 200 will get through. The most of these going down the lake came in over the Dyea trail. It is the best. Only one man has died since I came here and he worked himself to death. We have to pay 30 per cent duty on our goods. "Following are some of the prices that prevail here, for one pound of each : Floor, $l;tea, $1; bacon, 80 cents; liquor, 50 cents a drink. It cannot be sold for less, for it coats nearly that much to get it in here. "There is no boubt that this Is a mineral coantry. I can't say I in stuck on the country, but I think it is all right."
