uate affair:
'This morning Grant Orburn, of Eugene,
aged about 25 year, staggered into Hale

ical aid summoned. The doctor immediate
ly pronounced it a case of overdose of mor
phine. An effort was made to save tbe
young man, but without avail, and he died
about II o'olock.
Whether morphine wts taken internally or
hypodermically waa not oertain. He was not
a morphine fiend, and waa not in tbe habit
of taking it. For some time Osburn worked
for 1. W. Hansen, of Corvallis, whet he also
had (ome cousins living. Hi parent, who
are well to do, reside at Eugene City. He
bas a brother living at Brownsville. He
married few year ago, bat on aooount of
tone trouble paited from his wife. For
several months he has been keeping company
with a young lady of Corvallis. but being in
the habit of drinking she refuted to have any
thing to do with bitu. Tbe coroner's jury
rendered a verdiot of death from an overdose
ot morphine."
