Yaquina, Aug. 17, 1882.
On Wednesday morning Dr. B. F. Hutch
inson, aged 75, and an adopted son named
Nelvin McKee, aged about 14. were discov
ered at their place on Coffrey Slough, obout
one mile southwest of Oneatta, murdered.
They had both beeu shot in the back of the
head, probably at close range, as the top of
their heads were literally blown off. A shot
gun or musket did the work.
Deceased had sold some cattle on Monday
and had received a considerable some of
money in coin which could not be found.
Supposition points to a certain person who
has disappeared and the search for him so
far has proved unavailing.
W- P. Stout, J. P., of Newport, held an
inquest. The jury returned a verdiet "that
Hutchinson and McKee were killed by gun
shot wounds by unknown parties."
The people of the whole region are greatly
excited and if the party, or parties, guilty
of the murder can be caught, it will go hard
with the cold blooded wretches. Mr. Thos.
E. farker was the first to discover the
murdered ones.
Run Away.
List Saturday Mr. W. A. Wells returned
in the morning from the Brownsville ware
house and arriving at the postoffice here he
found a letter which required an answer to
Souver station. The cars being about ready
to start he turned his horse and buggy
about and started for the depot under whip.
When a short distance this side of the de
pot one of the shafts of his buggy came
down and scared the horse. The horse
started running and kicking at a hasty
(rait. He soon threw Mr. W ells out of the
b'iggy bruising his head quite severely.
Mr. Wells picked himself up after rather
ing himself all together, and proceeded to
the depot to transmit his instructions down
the road. The horse, however, retraced
his steps and came tearing down street at
break-neck speed. Wnen he came to the
corner at Mrs. Hemphill's restaurant he took
the sidewalk going nor.h running on the
sidewalk all the way until he came to
sheriff King's livery stable where he at
tempted to go into the 'table, but the turn
was so short that it caused him to end all
heels up in the air, where he was compelled
to remain until the buggy was taken loose
from him. All occupants of the sidewalk
gave way to him without a second invita
tion. The buggy was considerably de
moralized and the horse badly bruised
all thin '3 considered it might have been
worse.

is good all along the line where we have

house lacks capacity to hold the grain.
Hence he will build "greater barns" with
out pulling down the "old ones," to accom
modate his many customers. This is a fine

say in clossing, we had a plentiful supply

Some Mistake.
It was currently reported last week by his
neighbors who claimed to know all about
the circumstances that Mr. Parent across
the river had deserted his wife leaving
about midnight. There must have been
some mistake about the report as we saw
him on the street last Saturday with a lot
of things which he had purchased and was
on bis way across the river towards home.
Child Drowsed.
A report reaches us that the young 3 or 4
year old child of Abe -Rizeor was drowned
last week, in the lower Alsea valley.
We did not gain much of the particulars
excepting that all except the child were ab
sent from the premises and the river lan
near the house and when the remainder of
the family returned the boat in the river
was turned up side down and the child was
missing.
A Boy.
We will pay a boy the cash twice each
week who will come promptly at the ap
pointed time and roll for printing the Ga
zette. Or we will pay a good active
prompt and industrious boy the cash every
Saturday night for his.services who desires

Broken Arm.
A report reaches us just before going to
press, that Henry Elliott had again met
with an unfortunate accident. The arm
which he had broken a few weeks ago was
getting well and the splints had been taken
off, bnt it had not become stout. Duriusr
night before last he fell down stairs, break
ing the arm over again. Any further par
ticulars we did not hear. It seems that his
misfortunes come thick and fast.
The above distribution was made August
16, 1882. The County Treasurer received
the above amount from S.tlem August 12th.

An Interesting Account.
MR. I'.ditoe. l nave not the time, nor
have you the space, to allow an itemized
report of another very enjoyable trip of
mine. Last Monday, through the kind
ness of Mr. Johnson, my friend Mr,
and self, took passage for Long Tom, both
of us having through ' tickets free. I want
to say of ttts stream, that I have heard of
Tom Walker of Nicaraugua, and of Tom
Marshal of Kentucky and some others, but
this Tom is the Longest Tom I ever heard
of, or saw. However it is bordered on
either side with the most beautiful and
fertile farms I have seen for some time.
The far-stretching landscapes, one after
another, all covered with golden grain,
presents at once a scene unsurpassed for
beauty and profit, and how harmoniously
these two equalities blend. And alon? the
stream with its green embroidery, ever and
n, you find the frugal granger strictly
attending to his own business. A quality
much to be desired. Along the road en
route we pass in succession the farms of Hon
Greenberry Smith. Threshing is under fall
headway, and we see "rick" after "rick" of
sacks of Oregon's valuable commodity.
Now we reach the farm house of Rob't
Buckanan Esq.. where we pause few a day
or two. His well arranged and productive
farm shews two essential elements in suc
cessful agriculture, still and labor. , What
has been learned in the science of agricul
ture in college, is being practically applied
by his sons. Unite muscle and brain, then

last Tuesday to his place about six miles
from the Dalles, where he intends to remain

Powers has long been one of our'most active

very much.
Broken Leg.
On last Thursday at Monroe one of Mr.
Wm. Gai line-house's laree stallions met
ith a severe and perhaps fatal accident in
which one of his fore legs was broken near
the body. He telegraphed to Portland for
a horse farier to come and attend to him.

son desiring a thorough business education,
