Portland Friday afternoon, very much
against the will of George Reddaway.
a prominent grocer who Is the groom's
father.
The couple have been reported mar
ried many times of late, but In every
instance the rumor was dlsproven.
Friday, however, the marriage took
place in earnest, and is causing a
great deal of comment.
As yet the newly wed have not re
turned to the roof of the groom's
father und the futher in law of a day
says then? will be no use In their do
ing so. The couple attended the ex
ercises at Chautauqua park, Friday
night, so it Is certain that they can
not be inany miles from here. As
both of' the contracting parties are
under age, there is considerable spec
ulation as to what may happun If
Reddaway, Sr., finds out who acted as
witness when the couple procured the
marriage license.

was up on a 20 foot ladder at tho

Main streets, taking down the Kel
logg excursion banner, when the lad
der slipped from the telephone pole
against which it was placed and
Rhodes fell headlong onto the walk
and against the rough brick of the
old Selling store.
Fortunately, Rhodes half broke the
fall by catching at guy ropes, the
pole, etc., so he struck a glancing
blow on top of his head, cutting a
flesh wound several inches long. He
was helped up to Dr. Melssner's office
where the wound was dressed, sever
al stitches being taken to close It.
Rhodes insisted he wasn't hurt
much and in 20 minutes was down at
work again, folding up the banner.
He's balder than he was for besides
what the doctor shaved off, he left a
fair handful on tho bricks where his
head struck.

Kerosene Lamp Upset In the Hotel
Annex by W. J. Smith Who Paid
Penalty With Hit
Life.
The best business block In Trout
dale was destroyed by llr early Sun
day morning, as a result of a drunken
carousal began In tho saloons anil con
tinued In a small building known ai
the "Rod Front," an annex to thy
Troutdalo hotel. One life was lost In
the fire and another of the Injured will
die. The building burned Included
the two hotels of the town, two
Iimuih, two gtneral merchandise stores,
livery stable, tho posiotllce and a '
butcher shop. It Is estimated that
the total loss will reach fW.uno with
1 11,000 Insurance.
Tim "Red Front" w as occupied Sat- j
urday night by sveu men, five of
whnnt hnd been carousing in tho sa
loons until the closing hour when
they went to their rooms with several
bottles of whisky. They kept up their
revels several hours and one of them.
W. J. Smith, upset a kerosene lamp.
The flames quickly spread and with
only 200. feet of 2 Inch hose the efforts
to stop the fire were futile.
Hmlth paid the penalty with hH life,
his badly charred corpse being found
In the ruins. One of tho others, Rich
ard Nicholson, was badly burned and
was found wandering alsut town In a
dellrous state. Ho was given medi
cal attention and sent to a Portland
hospital ou an early morning train.
No hope for his recovery. He Is a
young man and had been In Troutdalo
only a week, working for a lumber
company. His relatives are unknown.
Smith had been In Trout dale Nit four
days and was employed by the Union
Meat company. He said he was from
Alabama and was alxnit :ti) years of
age.
By heroic work much of the goods
In the merchandise stores and hotels
were saved. All the horses were
brought safely out of thi livery stable.
The postoftlco was burned being
nearly one of the last places to go,
and Postmaster Harlow had time to
save everything except the cabinet ami
office safe, which went down In tho
ruins, containing several hundred dol
lars worth of stamps. He reopened
the 'office promptly on time Sunday
morning and was able to receive and
dispatch the malls as usual. His tem
porary quarters are In the Masonic
hall.
During the progress of the fire sev
eral other persons than the two men
tioned were severely burned, but not
dangerously. A. 8. Milne entered the
burning store of S. S. Ixgan to save
sorno money and was burned about
the face. Ray Moore, was another
sufferer, having had both hands
burned while helping to save goods.
The owners of the burned buildings
will probably rebuild as soon as pos
sible. Some of the business house
will reopen In tents at once. S. S.
Logan ordered a tent today, and says
he will reopen Monday.
The devastated block will not long
remain vacant, as it was the busiest
one in Troutdalo, and each house was
doing a good business.

Every Man His Own Doctor.
The average man cannot afford to
employ a physician for every slight
ailment or Injury that may occur in
his family, nor can he afford to ne
glect them, as so slight an injury as
the scratch of a pin has been known
to cause the loss of a limb. Hence
every man must from necessity be
his own doctor for this class of ali
ments. Success often depends upon
prompt treatment, which can only be
had when suitable medicines are kept
at band. Chamberlain's Remedies
have been in the market for many
years and enjoy a good reputation.
