The Peudleton East Oregonian of March

Ous Long met his death. He reaidoU in
Eugene about two year sinco, working at
tbii fonndry, bis father being a partner with
Mr. Frasier. Tbe remaina paaaed up tbe
road to Cottage Grove Tuesday tor burial,
Tbe E. O. says:
Dragged to death. Such was the fate of
One Long, a young man who haa numerous
friends in this county, and such haa been
tbe (ate of many others wbo, thrown by vi
cious horses, were unsble to releass them
selves. The accident of which Gus Long
waa tbe victim was most appalling. He waa
at II. J. Taylor's plaoe on Wild Horse,
about aevon mitea northeast of Pendleton,
and Friday afternoon about two o'clock he
mounted a wild horse in tbe corral, which is
two acres or more in extent, his object being
to "break" the animal. The borso at once
atarted to buck furiously, and careeued
around the corral until the ridor could keep
hia seat no longer and waa thrown to the
f round. As is often the case bis toot caught
n tbe stirrup, and he was dragged and
kioked by the frighted animal tor several
minutes, it being impossible for those near
to save him from bis fearful fate. It was
only after tbe boree had dragged him out of
tbe corral to a point some filly feet from the
gate that poor Long waa released. He was
picked up, a bleeding, lifeless moss of
wounds sod bruises, and tenderly carried
into tbe bouse, Fearful injuries were in
flicted on hia cheat, side end bead by the
horses hoofs, and be aoon expired. Dr.
Wells waa hastily summoned from Pendle
but wben he arrived the patient was post
medical aid bis soul bad fled to its Maker.
News waa brought to Pendleton of the ac
cident at 4:30 o'clook Friday afternoon by
two boys sent by Mr. Taylor, aud created a
feeling of sadness and gloom among the
young man's friends, the more so as he bad
been here the day before, the ploture of
health and youthful vigor. R. Alexander
telegraphed Joe Matlock at Eugene to send S
messenger to Long's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. 0. Long, formerly of Milton, who live at
Cottage Grove, twenty milea from the near
est telegraph station. Mr. and Mrs. James
Wells, Jack Ireland and William Church
came over from Milton to attend tbe funeral.
Mrs. Wells is a sister of tbe deceased.
Gus Long wss about twenty-two years old.
He resided at Milton aeveral yeara with hia
parents, being employed at the Peacock
mills, of which his father was manager.
He went witb them to Cottage Grove when
they removed below, and hia roturn to thia
oouuty, which bas resulted so sorrowfully,
was for the purpose ot looking after his rail
road land. He was a young man of promise
and ability, his health was perfeot, and
he was cnt off by tbe accident from a long
aud useful life. Genial and kindly in dispo
sition, be won those to bim during life who
bend tbe bead in poignant sorrow at bis un
timely death. The name of Gus Long will
be treasured in reverent remembrance by bis
friends.
