Wodtli lost hi life: It seems that Mr. Wodtli, who has been working in ma miner's mm at rosier, was out ii the timber doing some work, when some one caaie to the mill to get some grist ground. Mr. Wodtli started to the house after the key to the mill, when he discovered that the house was on fire. The hooks belonging to the mill were upstairs, and Mr. Wodtli, not heeding me impending danger, rushed np stairs after the books, but he never returned the flames did their deadly work, and the dead body of the unfortunate man was not recovered until after the llamcs hadeu'jsided. It was certainly a very sad ic idenc. and the bereaved relatives and frier.ds, cf the deceased have the sympathy of the enure community. ilis sinter, who lives in Albany was leiegnpneu lor. Another Version. Search has been made at Corvallis for the body of W. T. Rocket, 1 the Gypsy nightwatcb, supposed to be drowned at that city. One memtier of tl e Gypsy's crew how ever, casts doubt over the theory of drowring, says the Times. This is Purs er M. F Jamar. and he said : "It is mv candid opinion that Rocket t was not drowned, either accidentally or other wise. 1 believe that he l in good health some cere on dry land, and that his disappearanre was with malice afore thought. Rorkettwas a Hiuhtv sort of a chap, and tie aa involved financially. tiis wages were recently garnisbeed. aud since that time he has been in a devil-may-caie Irauie of mind, and I do not think it at all improbable that he has concluded to give his family and debts the slip and has gone to try his hand in new and greener pasture. He may of coarse have attempted to board the boat, have slipped and fallen intoihe river's bottom, but 1 seriously doubt it. Anv report to tho effect that there play in the case ie certainly foundation or justification." Nose Broken. was foul without Doc. St Clair ha i his nose broken last night in about the following manner, as nearly cs can be learned: lie was in Keia a saloon talking with amend, when James Blackbnrn came up. A very short conversation ended in Blackburn's strik ing St. Clair without preliminary work, bitting him fairly on the nose, causing a bad break. Dr. Davis dressed the wound. Marshal Lee at once arrested Blackburn and placed him in the calaboose, where be was kept until this forenoon, when he was released on bail. M. Clair was not able to be out today and the cae was not disposed of. r.Aiscs Fisb Fowl. Mr. C. D. Bate will accept the Pr.MocaaT's thanks for a fine dressed chicken, a plump, well-rais ed fowl.

They returned towards home late in the after noon. Not carrying to remain any longer tbe Fronk boy came home alone, leaving the Warren boy alone in tbe field beyond tbe slaughter bouse, near tbe Masonic cemetry. After he bad gone some distance be beard a shot, bat thought nothing of it at tbe time. Not returning borne the parents of the War ren boy became anxious and Mr. O. W. Warren went to the home of young Fronk and with lanterns, lead by Earl, a searching party went after him. In tbe field where be had beea left be waa first found by the Fronk boy aboat 6 O'clock, lying dead with tbe gun beside him. He had been shot in the right breast just above the nls the shot going op into his neck, th rough thejogalar vein, causing instant death. Tbe indi cations were that he had been walking along carrying tbe gun by the muzzle and swinging it along as a cane, it ia said be was in the habit of doing this, ben it waa diacbarged by tbe stock striking the ground too heavily. His body was taken home and eared lor. Coroner V. t . H right, of Hamabonr. came to Albany yesterday afternoon and called a jury, consisting of F. M. Red- neld. rrof. W. tl. Lee, r H. Lhinbam, Frank Blodgett, E. L. Power and Wil liam Fortmiller. with C. K. Fronk as' clerk. The testimony showed that Roy arren and Urt r ronk started oat Irocn home about 1 :30 and went oat beyond tbe slaughter house. The Warren boy shot a crow and carried his gun cocked over bis ihoulder. Tbe two boys sat oa a log for a long time, until aboat 3:20, when yoang Frank said be moat go home. Re eaid he expected another boy and would wait and go np a eloogh and try and get a dock, and started off. He bad been in a cheerful mood, aad waa antic ipating a nice time at Tangent, wbere be expected to spend Chritimaa. When b body was iooxmi a boat e clock it was nearer 'borne than wbere Earl bad left him in tbe open field indicating that he bad started for home. Tbe ball entered hia body at nearly right angle and the gun most have have been resting against hu clothes, indicating tbat be mav nave stumbled tailing over against it jost as it waa discharged. Ibe load struct the collar bone and just a'jove it making a hose aboat one and a bail by two inches. going through tbe jugular vein and lodg ing in tbe back of tbe neck. Ibe jury tried to jar the hammer of the gun down when cocked, bat it would not drop. j Tbeir verdict was accx-rdirg to tbe facta that death was caused from a gun shot wpund by the accidental discharge of the gun. The deceased was a son of J. J. Beard of Taazfnt, but waa adopted by Mr. O. W. Warren when qur.e young. He was a quiet boy and greatly beloved by bis parents who bave the sympathy oi ail in their great lam. The deceased waa born on Christmas day in 1&S2.
