IHDICTED FOft EMBEZZLES! EHT.
W. B McKean, Head Bookkeeper for the Crana
Company la Jail-
Poktlaxd, Nov., 24. William 8. Mc
Kean, for three years head bookkeeper
for the jobbing house of the Crane Com
pany, occupies a cell in the city jail, be
ing held to answer for embezzling $7000
of his employers' money. He has made
a full confession.
At the instance of John O'Connor, resi
dent manager of the Crane Company,
McKean was arrested yesterday morn
ing on a bench warrant issued by Judge
George. Toe evidence against him was
such that he had no course but confes
sion, and an hour after his arrest two
indictments bad been returned against
him by the grand jury.
The first alleges that November 30,
1890, he was in the employ of the Crane
St Jack Company, and, while so engaged,
there came into his possession moneys,
bank checks, drafts and hills of exchange
the property of the firm, amounting to
U18I, which he unlawfully embezzled
and converted to his own use.
The second charges the embezzlement
ot $913.00 from the Crane Company in
September, 1S97.
The bail in each case was fixed at
$1000, but the accused was unable to
furnish it, and was accordingly placed in
custody. He wasasked by an Oregonian
reporter soon afterward to make a state
ment, but declined to do so.
McKean made a confession to his em
ployer to the effect that he baa embez
zled $7000 of the firms money.
Hospital Convicts.
Robert Hinman is the only inmate of
the penitentiary hospital, at Salem with
the exception of old man Stoughton, who
has made the hospital his home for
many years. Hinman was brought to
the prison from Douglas county with a
wound in his leg, received from a gun
shot while resisting arrest. He is still
unable to walk. Stoughton will be 90
years old in June. He is almost deaf,
and his talk indicates loss of mental
faculties. For years he has been com
plaining, saying he does not get enough
to eat. He is sentenced for Hie, and
says he expects no pardon until 1S09,
when, beginning at Rome, this earth
will be burned up, and all will be par
doned. Stoughton was sent up from
Columbia county nearly 20 years ago,
having killed a man with a pike pole
while engaged iu rafting logs.
I
The surprise for All.
Mr. James Jones, of the drua firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, 111., in speaking
of Dr. King's New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
La Grippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. It seemed to
develop into hasty consumption. Hav
ing Dr. King's New Discovery in the
store, and selling lots of it, he took a
bottle home, and to the eurprise of all
ehe began to get better from first dose,
and half dozen dollar bottles cured her
sound and well. Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds is guaranteed to do this good work.

I be (reat Sort hern Railroad Not
Badly Damaged as at First
Reported.
Skattlk, Wash., Nov. 22. The inter
ruptions to railroad traffic caused by the
recent storm are being gradually over
come, and it is exacted things will be)
restored to their normal condition in a
day or two.
As the waters subside It is ascertained
that the reports of damage done to the
Great Northern railroad have been
greatly exaggerated. The washouts
have been so far repaired as to admit of
the running of all coast trains. General
Western Passenger Agent Stevens today
received a dispatch from General Super
intendent Harding, saying that the main
line would be open by Wednesday.
From that date all trains will be run on
schedule time.
The westbound Northern Pacific over
land arrived today a few hours late. The
Seattle & International train which left
at noon is reported to have reached
Sumas without difficulty.
Lewli River Bottom Innndated
Vancouveb, Wash., Nov. 22 Resi
dent of the county in the vicinity of the
Lewis river report that stream has been
on a regular rampage for a week past.
The North and East Forks of the river
are said to be higher than for many
years, both being out of their banks,
and the bottom lands along each covered
with several feet of water. Fences and
small bridges, and in some instances
small buildings, have been swept away,
and considerable other damage done.
The original channel of the North Fork,
it is reported, has changed, in several
places, several hundred feet, the river
tutting thioigh farms and laying waste
many acres of valuable land. The nyer
reached its highest stage last Friday, and
is now slowly falling.
Lonei Very Bevere-
Mocnt Vebsox, Nov., 22. The flood
at Mount Vernon has subsided. In the
lower end ot town the water is atill
pouring through the break in the dike
and is keeping a considerable portion of
the town under water. It will take some
time. to estimate the damage, but it will
be many thousands of dollars.
The ballast is all washed out of the
Great Northern railroad grade from a
point north of the depot for a distance
of 15 miles south. The railroad bridge
is so badly out of plumb that it will re
quire extensire repairs before it can be
used.
Patrick Gibbons, a logger, lost $3000
worth of logs at the railroad bridge.
They were in tow of the steamer Monte
CrWto, and the entire boom went out
with the fl od.
Some of the timers of the $40,000
county wagon bridge are washed away.
The town and country have beengiyen
a terrible blow by the great destruction
of property, and many are talking of
moving away.
Many of the farmers have lost their hay
and grain, as few bad sold, hoping for
still higher prices.
Communication by wagon road is cut
off in nearly every direction, and it ia
not probable that trains will get through.
