mammoth stock of stoves and tinware. In
order to give th people of Lane county all
tlje advautages possible in the way of a
Urge assortment and very low price he bis
arranged with Eastern factories to get out
his stock in carload lota, thus saving not
only a Dig mnerence in treigbt, but also
greatly reduced prices on each of the larce
purchases. This will enable him to sell at
prices lar oeiow tnose oi all competitors.
He has just received his first carload of
stoves and hollow ware and Invites the pub

moth store room iu the Odd Fellows build
ing. Fatal Balloon Disaster.
Arthur Cosgrove made a parachute jump
at Albina Sunday that resulted in bis death.
He left tbe balloon when it was several
thousand feet high. The parachute was
slow to descend, owing to a brink breeze
that was blowing, and C OBgrove did not have
tbe safety straps, usually employed by bal
loonists, around his wrists, and he got tired
holding on. He waa seen to change bis
hands several times and to bold on with one
while resting the other. When 150 feet from
the ground he waa seen to let go, and a
horror-stricken crowd of of spectators turned
their eyes in another direotion. He struck
the ground in tbe middle of the street and
ill was over. His right arm was lacerated so
is tbe bones protruded through the flesh,
but no other mutilation of the body was
noticeable and his face was perfectly natu
ral. Cosgrove was 28 years old and lived
with his wife and child In Portland.

Inquest Needed.
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.

Leader, Aug. 9th: Considerable excitement
prevails among tbe oitizens of Cottage Grove

one of tbe richest mining oamps in tbe state
in tbe near future.

Deputy U. 8. 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 an agreeable surprise to see the
white canvas held taut by tbe wind as the
Moonlight came sailing up tbe bay on
Wednesday last on her return trip from San
Francisco.' It was preceded only a few yards
by the steamer Geo. H. Chance. One sailed
and the other steamed over the bar at medi

No Symptoms of Hydrophobia.
M. 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.

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

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.
