From some causo no Inquest waa held on the body of W. H. Walker, who waa killed at McKenzie Bridge Tuesday morning. The coroner should perform his duty in such cases and definitely settle the mannor and responsibility of the homicide. While tbe killing iu question was probably accidental and excusable, legal inquiry should be made so that th young man who committed the fatal act could be exonerated, else made to Hitler if the evidenoe should show inexcus able negligence. The publio demand an inquest, when there is any appearance of criminality, and there has been not a little unfavorable com ment by reason of the aeeming disinclina tion of tbe proper authorities to perform tbat duty. It was but a few weeks ago that evidence was found almost within a stone's throw of the business part of Eugene tbat gave every indication that an abortion and murder had been committed, yet tbe matter was quietly allowed to pis. without official notice. Tbe anitable time for inquiry aa to tbe commission ot probable crime is when tbe circumstances are fresh and new, and at that time action should be taken. Valuable Property for Sale.

Marshal Oscar Miller oame up from Portland lust Tuesday with warrants of arrest for Captain John Bergman and Engineer William Satiny for running the Lillian to Yaquina without proper license. There can be no objections raised to Mr. Satltiy's papers, but this is a game of "ainch" on the part ot the officious Portland author ities.

It was preceded only a few yards by the steamer Geo. H. Chance.

D., writing to the Orrgoniau from Salem, says: In your issue of to-day ap- ears an editorial coicuenting on the possi lility of the existed of hydrophobia in Oregon, based on the teported case ot F. 11. Kissengor, who receutly died in the iusaue asylum, the alleged cause ol his insanity being the bite ot a dog. Tbe facts of the case are, tbat be had aome few years ago developed clear signs ot insauity, having what is called the "insane diathesis" well established. In this instance tbo bite of a dog waa merely the exoiting cause, from the accompanying shock, tear aud exposure, of his insanity, tbe mere bite of the dog, as such, plaving no part whatever in it. Furth er, be had no symptoms of hydrophobia and did not die "in spasms." I write thi that the existenoe of hydrophobia iu Oregon may not be established at leant on incorrect data. Improve the Chance.

After bearing the evidence and extenuating circumstances the Judge imposed a fine of $100, tbe lowest possible amount, on each of the geutlemen, aud sua. pended payment for three months. The suspension of payment is equivalent to a remission. Captain Bergman oame np Sat urday and from bim we learn that the in spectors would not grant the Lillian a license to run outside tbe bar. This action of the inspectors is not only a great loss to the owners of tbe vessel, but a hardship and inconvenience to the people along the Siu slaw, who depended on tbe boat for the transaction of tbeir outside freighting bus iness.

Wafter "instantly Killed at McKenzie Bridge Mistaken for a Deer An Examination Exon erates Powers, tho Slayor, from Blame. A lamontnLle accldontul shooting occurred at McKenzie Bridge Tuesday mcrning at 7 o'olock by which W. H. Walker, of tbe firm of Staver & Walker, Portland, was instni.tly killed, the carotid artery nnd jugular vein both being severed. Mr. Wulker and Frank Witter bad gone np tbe monutain north of the Bridge for deer and slept out Monday nicht Glen Powors, n yrmng man of i:i, who fired the fatal shot and his cousin Harry Benton had been on tbe mountain since Sun day, but wore uot aware thut any other par ties were out. tub evidence. After the shooting Powers mrrendered himself iu court and an examination was held before John Isbum, Justice of tbo Peace of McKenzie Bridge precinct, result ing iu a decision thut the suooting was ac cidental. We present the evidence taken as follows: GLEN O. rOWEBS Aftor being duly sworn deposed as follows: About a quarter after 7 o'clock, a. m. on August 12, lHJO, myself aud ll irry Benton were together on tbe mountuiu sitting on a deer stand watching for deer, we heard a noise aud we looked, and my cousin. Hurry Beuton, said, "there is a bin buck." It was very brushy where we saw tbe object move, so much so tbut we could see but a very short distance. When Harry Benton saw the object he grabbed tbe little dog to covor hia eyes and keep him from malting a noise. He said: "You have to shoot. I will bold the dog." We beard tbe noise nguin and I saw tbe object in the brush. When I saw tbe object I turned the gnu around to my loft, for I hsd to .boot tbis short left banded. When the object moved, I saw something red iu the brush. I could not see tbe out lers, but could see object move in the brush. If theiun had not sbined on his coat, I could not have seen tbe object at all. Be fore I shot I made a noise to make the deer, aa I supposed, stop. The noise was like the blent of a deer, as near as I could make it. The ob ject stopped as a deer does, then I fired as quiwk as 1 coul I. As quick as I shot or raised up and looked over that way, and could not see any thlnsr or hear any thing new. We then walked slowly over to the place aud we found there Mr. Walker dead. We then ran aa fast a. we could to tell the people what had hap pened, and when almut half way down the mountain we met Dr. Lune and two ladies. We told them, and lr Lane said for ns to go back Immediately and get the body. Dr. Lane went with us and we went back on the moun tains and got the body of Mr. Walker and hrouulit it to my father's house." "I left here at 4 o'clock, p. m. the evening before. I did not know that there waa any body hunting on the mountain at that time. There bad not been any body hunting but iuy selt and cousin, Horry Benton, up to this time." KABIIT IIKNTOM After lieiug duly sworn, testilied as follows: "When w. first heard the noise, It was on th. ri'lit side from us, and I saw the object very nearly aa soon as I heard it. It was the same color of a deer. It waa moving around as the neck of a deer would move when it was look ing for something. I put my hand over the doit's eyes, and told Glen it was a buck and told him lie would have to shoot for I bad to watch the dg. Then the object started to move, and then Glen changed his gun to his left shoulder, and blented to call the attention of the deer ami then fired. Then we arose to our feet, and Glen said, "I guess we have got him" meaning he bad killed the deer. I said "I guess we have." Then we walked over slow ly to where we supposed the deer was, and was shocked to see it was a man. We saw that he was dead or apparently dead. I asked (ilen if he knew who it waa and Glen said, "it is Mr. Walker," Then we run down to camp, and got the pony and started down the moun tain, and I could not say how far down the mountain till we meet a gentleman and two ladies. Glen told them what happened, anil get help. This Retlenmn Informed us that he was a doctor, aud said h. might save his life if we would hurry back. We started back up the mountain and got some water at the camp and took some with us, ami went on up to where the man was killed, and found him in the same position as he was when we left him. The Doctor examined him and said he waa dead. We put the body on the horse and took it to Mr. Powers' house, I did not know of any person being on the mountain hunting at that time. I started np on the mountain, Sunday evening, about 4 o'clock. Glen came back on Monday, and I stayed up there, and Glen oame buck to me on the mountain about t) o'clock Monday .veiling." DB, BABRT LANl'l STATK.UKKT. "Was going tip the mountain Tuesday morning, Aug. 12th, 1890, about 7 o'clock a, m., when I beard a ride shot oo tbe moun tain above me. In about 20 minutes after ward I met two young men coming down the trail. They stated tbat one of tbem had accidentally shot and killed Mr. Walker, mistaking bim for deer, and tbat tbey were going for holp to bring tbe body in. Think ing that he might bo only wounded I pre vailed upon tbem to go back with me to tbe body. On arriving there fuuud Mr. Walker quite dead, lying ou his face with his rille under bitn. Ou examination of the body fonnd a bullet wound entering the right side of the neck about V, inches below tbe right ear; tbe bullet had ranged forward and out ward and made Its exit through the lower jaw, severing the carat id artery and jugular vein, snd tearing away a lurge piece of the taw bone. Assisted tbe young men, whom I lave since learned to be Glen O. Power, and Harry Benton, to lash the body of Mr. Walker to a pack horse, when I returned to camp," "I examined carefully the point from where the shot was fired and found that a bunch ot brush hid the view to whore the body of Mr. Walker lay." OTUEB PABTICULABS. Mr. Walkor wore a reddish bunting coat. Ilia rifle was found cocked, which was prob ably done when be heard what he supposed to be tbe bleat of the deer. The body was carried on a pony to Mr. Power's residence, and a soon as a box could be made the corpse was on its way to Eugene, Mrs. Walker and son, a lad of fonrteen years, pre ceding it. Tbey traveled all Tuesday nibt with tbe remains, aniviug here about H.'M o'clock Wednesday morning. Instructions were reoeived by telegraph from Portland to forward the body at once, and the Rosebnrg local train was held a short time for it. Mr. Walker was about 35 years of age, and had many friends all over Oregon. He had a summer cettuge at McKenzie Bridge and had been there about two weeks, greatly im proving In health and spirits, when tbe fatal accident occurred. It is needless to say that a gloom has been cast over tbe residents and pleasure seeker, at tbe bridge and springs tbat it will take time to dissipate. Vouog Powers, it ia said, bas not been him self since th nnfortuuate accident. He keenly feels the position in which he is placed. A New Enterprise. C. L. Buch, of the firm of nofTman, llayne 4 Co., of Albany, Is in Eugena mak ing necessary arrangements for establishing branch house of the firm for the manufac ture ot sewer pipe, stone chimneys, cement walks, floors, 4c He has not yet decided npon a location but will know In a few days when tbe necessary buildings will be con structed. Cement and sand are the princi pal articles used in tbeir work. Tbe new enterprise will provide work for a number of men and will undoubtedly be an impor- tant acquisition to tbe manufacturing en terprises of tbe town. The sewer to be constructed next year with tbeir connection will require a large amount of pipe, and it ia good policy to encourage the manufacture of tb. same at home. Mr. Buch will make hia residence in Eugeue and manage the factory. Ftsn Kai.ic We are informed that dead fish are found along the banks of tb McKenzie below tbe Seavey ferry.
