I FOUR KILLED AND FIVE INJURED . ' ON TRAIN NEAR EUGENE 8UNDAY NIGHT. !ED BULL IS THE CAUSE nglne Strikes Animal and la Thrown From Track Killing Engineer and Fireman No One to Blame. Four dead, five seriously Injure and a score slightly hurt Ih tho count on tho wreck of the Cottage Grove o day evening by the engine running over a big bull on tho track about a mile and a half nouth of Irving, and nearly four miles north of Eugene. The dead are: Jack Nichols, en gineer; Frank Holler, llreinan; Georgo Ilalley, of Kngene, and Hay Schwartz, of Junction City, who were riding or, the blind baggage. The Injured are: Verno Apperson, Kugeno, back and arm badly bruised; John Wllbrlght, rittsburg, left k-c broken and back Injured; It. C. Gil bert, Eugene, hack Injured, and Albert llahn, I'ortland, left arm cut. It is not thought any of tho Injured will die. Tho verdict of tho Coroner's Jury was to tho effect that tho disaster wag unavoidable and that nobody was to blame. Of tho four killed, all but tho en gineer met death Instantly. Englnoor Nichols died about 3 o'clock from the sculdlng ho received when his engine went over. He wos brought to Eu gene Just before midnight In an auto mobile and taken to the Eugene hos pital, hut little could be done to re lievo his agony. Tho train was well out of Irving, having left that station on time, and running about 35 miles an hour, the usual rate for this section of the road. Tho Rushnell farm had Just been passed when the first shock came, an the air went on and the brakes down; then the collision, a stop, a slide as the engine left the track In front of the train, and the. terrible pile-up In total darkness The conductor and brakemen hnd Jovt their lanterns and the night was dark as pitch, heavf clouds hanging all over the heavens. As tho unhurt trainmen and pas sengers climbed from the wreck out lines of the locomotive showed that It hod been turned over and completely reversed, Its noso pointing straight back along toward tho tw-o cars which remained on the roils and the turn had been mndo and the big engine rested within five feet of the track. The engine tender wos crushed like a tin can, lying upright on Its side, nnd tho mail car was balanced 10 feet In the air, swinging by Its middle across the upturned tender. The ex press car was lying on Its side and the smoker, which contained 30 or 40 pas sengers, was thrown half over, being saved partially by the half-buried en gine on which It lodged. The whole tangled mass was made i more terrible by the barbed wire from the fences that had been caught up and twisted In with the cars until it baffled those who were seeking the Rilled and Injured. Out to the loft of the track, lying un derneath the tender, the conductor :., tumbled onto the dead body of one of the boys who had ridden the blind nnd as he ennic bnck. trying to get at the engine, which was on the other side of tho wreck, he found the other hoy mangled beyond recognition, lying just behind the tended In a puddle of loll ;.....,,, ,., , , ,., ho found the engineer, pinned in his , tpr.lb! scal(l0(, , ,h fl . . ...., . , the earth only one side of his head and shoulders being visible by the light of wimmiir in. nm inwi uiuiru oil in."vi l ' a lantern. The engine blew out nt the whlstlo. Oil was flowing about over the ground, nnd two small fires had started, but the conductor put these out before any damage was done, and tho train was saved from the flames. After sending his hrakemen before nnd behind tho train to signal, Con ductor M Inkier found a phone nt a farm bouse nearby and sent word to Agent Gillette, at Eugene, for relief. As soon as the word reached Eu gene, Dr. Pntne. the Southern Pncillc surgeon, started for tho scene of the wreck on a hand car. An automobile party had preceded him however, nnd had taken charge of Engineer Nichols before he arrived, bringing the Injur- ed man to tho hospital, where Drs Scalffe and Bnrtle gave him aid. Au tomobiles, buggies nnd bicycles were pressed Into commission and soon a hundred citizens were on the spot. The Wendling tfain, which lies over night nt Eugene was steamed up and a party boarded it, getting down to the wreck about 10:30. The wrecking train at Roseburg was sent for and also help from Junction City. Both ar rived In good time and the work of re moving and clearing the track was be gun before daylight. The work of digging out the body of Frank Bolter, the fireman, was dlf- flcult, his body being burled beneath , the boiler head of his engine nnd his arms and legs pinned so hard that it was necessnry to dig several feet be- low the body and raise the engine ! with grappling hooks before the re- mains could be taken out This re- quired several hours' work. The fire- man was killed instantly. SAY8 HIS WIFE IS TIED TO THREE MEN, ONE OF WHOM IS HIM8ELF. CAUSES HER ARREST Citizen of Andereon 8tatlon Positive of His Wife's Guilt But the Wo man's 8lde of the Story Contradicts Him. Asserting that his wife, Mary Shan dy, haH three husbands living, J, I). Shandy, of Anderson Station on the Estanada division of tho Portland Hallway, Light & Power Company, swore out a warrant for her arrest. Tho woman was brought hero Wednes day afternoon by Constable Miles, but her husband was not here to face her nnger and she will bo compelled to remain under survlllance until she Is Riven a preliminary hearing before ustlce of tho Peace Samson. Mrs. Shandy's eyes flashed fire when Informed of the reason for her orrest. In her Indignation she charg ed her son-in-law. Fred Smith, with Instigating- the affair, as she doe8 not get along very well with Smith, but when she discovered that her own husband was responsible for her po Bltlon, her wrath broke its bounds. Shandy states that he will have no difficulty In proving that his wife was married to a man named Robinson, and later to Mr. Poole In Portland, and that both of these men are living and she had never obtained a divorce from either of thera. The evidence In the case was secured by L. L. Lev Ings, superintendent of the 'Western Detective Bureau, of Portland. The woman does not deny that she married Robinson, but avers that he was a gambler and when he went to Alaska and left her, he was killed for his bank roll. This she learned from a newspaper. Whether this is true or not. It Is certain that Robinson never troubled her since, even If he should be living. She afterwards mar ried a man named Elliott, and later another whose name was Calvert. Both of these men died of pneumonia. Mrs. Shandy, however, asserts positively, that she has never heard of Poole, and she believes that her present husband has trumped up charges against her In order to have grounds for a suit for divorce, with the expectation of preventing her from sharing In his property, valued at 3500, which she has assisted in enhancing by her own hard work. She was married to Shandy April 12, 1902, in Tacoma, Wash., and they came, to Anderson last Spring. Shandy says his wife's domestic life was not all it should have been. District to Issue $5000 Bonds. At a special bond election held In the city hall building Wednesday. School District No. 62, was authorized to issue bonds amounting to $5000 for the purpose of covering the cost of construction of a four-room addi tion to the Eastham school building.

TRIED IN OREGON CITY Publicity Measure For Liquor Estab lishments Failed -of Enactment Here After a Hard Con test. Portland Ih following in Oregon City's lead In one way that is tho same attempt will be made there to regulate saloons a.s was made here. The effort to pass an open-front ordi nance did not pass in Oregon City. The people turned It down. What the Council of Portland will do with a sim ilar measure can only be conjectured. A saloon without chairs, tables or seats of aDy kind and with but one entrance and no alcoves, screens, par titions or curtains and no frosted win dows or anything to obstruct a view of the entire room is what Councilman Wills wants to see in Portland. There fore he has the draft of an ordinance, constructed by the City Attorney, w-hlch will be submitted to the Coun cil for action. It will probably be re ferred to a committee for considera tion. Councilman Wills states the belief that. If the Council will pass this pro posed measure, it will do. away with practically all of the evils of the sa loon. He believes it will abolish the nuisance of women frequenting liquor shops; that it will do away with loung ers and the thousands who "hang around" saloons. Absolute publicity, he thinks, combined with the bare floors and walls, there being nothing on which to sit, will correct the "loaf ing" habit and will prove of great ben efit. As drafted for presentation to the Council, the ordinance reads: Section 1. Any person. Arm or cor poration engeged in selling spirituous, malt or fermented liquors or wines In any barroom or saloon in the City of Portland, shall not maintain in any such saloon or barroom or in connec tion therewith any alcove, booth or box or shall have or maintain any private or separate entrance or exits to such barroom or saloon. Section 2. It shall be unlawful for any persons, firm or corporation to conduct, carry on, open or maintain any barroom or saloon within the City of Portland that has more than one entrance or exit to such barroom or saloon; and it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to maintain, have or use in any such barroom or saloon, chairs, tables or seats of any kind or maintain, use or have any screen, partitions or cur tains in any such barroom or saloon, and any room and any building now or hereafter used as a barroom or sa loon shall be constructed so as to give a full view of the interior of such bar room or saloon from the street, and it shall be unlawful to use any screens, painted or frosted windows, or other obstructions whatever to prevent the full view of such barroom or saloon from the street. Section 3. Buildings now used as barrooms or saloons in the City of ruuinim lioi tiruaiiuiiru ill ui'iuiu- nndfi with the terms of this ordinance shall be made to conform with the, provisions of this ordinance, and' the owners of said buildings or the owner or proprietor of any such barroom or salon shall have GO days from and af ter final approval of this ordinance in which to reconstruct said building, barroom or saloon to conform with prisonment not exceeding 90 days; and any person, firm or corporataion, owning, operating or maintaining a( conduct, carry on, or maintain such barroom or saloon.

REGULATIONS SIMPLE Application Blanks Will Be Sent Upon Request By Quartermaster General to All Who May Be Eligible. There would seem to be some sort of misunderstanding in the ranks of veterans of the war with Spain and subsequent Philippine Insurrection concerning proper method to be ob served in obtaining the Congressional medal. The War Department regu lations are simple enough, says tho Oregonian, and all those who served in the Volunteer and reirnlnr aervlen and who are entitled to receive these meaals only have to make application to the Quartermaster-General's de partment, Washington, D. C, for the award of one of these emblems and forthwith he will be sent nn annliea. tlon blank to be filled in. If he is en titled to receive the award, it will be forwarded to him unon the return of the blank. Many members of the Second Ore gon regiment make Inquiry of the ex Colonel, General O. Summers, which"1 leads him to believe that only a small portion of the former soldiers of hla command have applied for the medals, and he is of the opinion if these old soldiers understood that it is requir ed of them first to apply for the med als before the official machinery at Washington is set in motion, more of the men would be receiving their badges of honor. The act of Congress and Instructions printed on the application blank fol lows: ' 1. An act to provide medals for certain persons. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That the Sec retary of War be, and is hereby, 'au thorized and directed to procure a bronze medal, with suitable device, to be presented to each of the several officers and enlisted men and families of such as may be dead, who, having: volunteered and enlisted under the calls of the President for the war with Spain, served beyond the term of their enlistment to help to suppress the Philippine insurrection, and who sub sequently received an honorable dis charge from the Army of the United States, or who died prior to such dis charge of the United States, or who died prior to such discharge. Approved, June. 29, 1906. The medals provided for by the Con gress in the above quoted act, are to be presented to those men, both of the volunteer and regular forces In cluded within its provisions, who were enrolled under a call of the President and served in the Philippine islands in the prosecution of the war with Spain. On April 11, 1899, these volun teers (the war with Spain being over) were entitled to be mustered out. A ! new war, however, that of the Philip j pine insurrection, broke out Febru ary 4. 1S99. The Congressional medal ' will be issued to the Spanish war vol unteers and men of the regular army entitled to their discharges under the provisions of General Order 40, Head quarters of the Army, Adjutant Gen eral's office, May 10, 1S98, who served beyond the conclusion of the. Treaty of Peace with Spain, viz. subsequent to April XI, 1899, and who received an honorable discharge. 2. It is important that the appli cant supply fully and accurately all of the data needful to complete a blank form (to be furnished upon ap plication) concerning the military ser vice rendered while earning the right to the Congressional medal. 3. The name of the soldier should be identical with that given on his discharge certificate, and where the soldier was enrolled and served under a different name than the one signed to the application, the fact should be explained in the blank space immedi ately above the signature. 4. To receive the consideration of the War Department an affidavit must bear the official seal of the officer ad mlnisterinfl the oath, if he uses an of ficial seal. Teacher for Mount Pleasant. Miss Maud Walker, of Syracuse, N. Y.. has accepted a position as princi pal of the Mount Pleasant school, and will arrive in this city in a few days. The primary department will be in charge of Miss Mabel Smith, of Eu gene. Miss Walker, who is a gradu ate of the New York University, comes to Oregon highly recommended. The Mount Pleasant school term will begin September 14. Store Building is Sold. The store building on Ninth and Main street occupied by the Seeley store, and was formerly the Red Front Store, has been sold by E. C. Ham ilton. The property on which the building stands is owned by St. Paul's Episcopal church, and Is one of the most valuable business sites In Ore gon City. The property has been leas ed by Mr. Hamilton for a number of years, who afterwards leased the building to J. E. Seeley. Mr. Seeley has still a three years' lease.
