BAD FRUIT TABOOED.
R. D. No. 3.
Oregon City, Or. Dec. 8, 1908. -e
To Whom It May Concern:
Having notified the grocers of 4
Oregon City not to sell scale
Infested or wormy fruit, and
having received their promise $
of hearty co-operation. I would
warn the grocers that any at- 4'

Fruit Jnspoctor, Clactsooa Co.
"I am better off dead. Am only a
nuisance to everybody."
I These words were written on tno
I back of a card, found In the pockets
of a man whose body waa discovered
! about 5 o'clock last Saturday afi;i
. noon on the beach below the open
air sanitarium at Milwaukee. On the
other side of the card was written
the name of Robert McVlcor, and It
la presumed that this la the name of
the dead man, and there is no otner
clew to hla Identity.
J The body was found by Henry Bo
! decker, gardner for the sanitarium.
Uodecker had made dally trlpa to the
' beach for three days In search of a
boat belonging to the sanitarium.
The craft bad been sunk during the I
recent high water.
McVlcor had cut his throat with a
rator. The case was found but the
weapon was missing, and McVicor
had either thrown It Into the river,
or it could not be found in the dark
neaa. In the dead man'a pockets were
a package of 60 blank visiting cards,
i a memorandum book with a lew ng
lures in It. a pocketbook containing
two postage Btamps and a pair of
I steel framed spectacles. He was a
1 man weighing about 140 pounds, of
alight build, and having a fair com
plexion. His hands were small, ana
Indicated that he had not been a work
ing man. His hair was streaked with
gray and he bad a small gray mous
tache. He wore a pair of gold-bowed
spectacles.
The man was apparently destitute,
and thla waa probably the reason for
taking bis own life. Coroner Holman
and Sheriff Beatte were notified and
went to Milwaukee, bringing the body
to this city. McVlcor bad smoked
a cigar, this being tbe last act of bis
life, and tbe stamp of tbe -weed was
found a few feet from bis body, -which
was lying in a pool of blood.
Coroner Holman held an Inquest
CITY POUND IS LOST
THIS TOWN IS NOW WITHOUT A
PLACE TO HOUSE ITS
STRAY ANIMAL8.
Oregon City Is not to be behind the
times since the robbery of the Eaut
Portland bank. Mayor Carll and the
city council are at a loss to know
what has become of the city pound,
where atray cattle have been kept.
The fences and buildings have disap
peared within tbe past few days, and
since the heavy rains tbe tracks,
which might have led to the discov
ery of the perpetrators, bave been de
stroyed. Chief of Police Burns made
the discovery on Saturday, and re
ported the matter to the mayor. The
city la at present without a pound,
and not only that but John F. Clark,
abstracter, saya that he has the lot.
What Is bothering Mayor Carll and
tbe councilmen now is, that probably
the city hall will be the next thing
the vandals will take, and the mayor
says he U to keep a sharp lookjout
on this building. It Is probable that
the mayor will offer a reward for the
capture of the thieves of the pound,
who will be aeverely dealt with.
