ROSE BROTHERS We Deliver To Any Part Of The City Thrown from Trestle Guard Breaks Legs Adam Garren, private in Company I, 3rd Oregon Infantry, while guard ing the Southern Pacific railroad bridge at Graves creek, about a me and one-half from Leland, was hurled off the bridge by an unknown man whom he had halted late Tuesday af ternoon. He fell fifty feet to the ground, suffering compound fractures of both legs. The affair is shrouded in mystery. Another private of Company I, whose name is said to be Covey, was patrolling the other end of the bridge and had his back' turned at the time Garren was thrown from the bridge. When he did turn around he saw the stranger running away and Garren lying on the ground beneath. He started in pursuit of the Btranger, but the latter had too much of a start and easily, got away. At that time Covey was not really sure of just what had happened. According to the brief story Garren told, he had halted the stranger, who had been loitering about the bridge - or trestle, and the latter walked up to him to talk, and with out any warning pushed him from the structure. He said further that the other soldier on duty pursued the stranger. Bean Bill Measure Taken From Ballot By unanimous opinion, the supreme court Tuesday morning ruled that the Bean bill, the measure designed by Representative Bean of Lane county to tax the Oregon and CaUfornla land grants and ordering the county asses sors to place the lands on the tax rolls, did not legally pasi the legisla ture and therefore should not be al lowed a place on the ballot at the special election June 4. The matter was carried before Judge Bingham, who decided In favor of Representative Bean and ruled that the measure should go on the ballot. The case was appealed to the supreme court, with the result that Judge Bingham was reversed. District At torney Gehlhar was assisted In the suit by Judge Pipes oNPortland. The Home of the Red Cross, On February 3 the national headvj quarters at Washington, D. C, were i moved to the beautiful new marble building on Seventeenth street. This building, dedicated "In memory of the heroic women of the Civil War," was erected entirely from funds appropri ated by congress and from funds given by a few friends of the Red Cross expressly for this purpose. The total cost was $800,000. Congress appropriated $400,000 and friends gave the other $400,000. It Is an imposing structure of white marble supported by a line of tall Corinthian pillars. It is back from the street in a domain of its owtf, oc cupying the square betweeti the gal lery and the Memorial Hall of the Daughters of the American Revolu tion. Its ranks of broad windows, set like panels in the wall, and wide, in viting entrance, suggested it to be the executive office of some great branch of government. This legend appeared , over the portals: "In Memory of the Heroic Women of the Civil War." Leading up from the entrance is a j broad stairway. In the first landing j is a tablet of marble on which is In-j scribed these words: "A memorial , built by the government of the United States and patriotic citizens to the v. omen of the north and to the women of the south held in loving memory by a now united country' that their labor to mitigate the sufferings of the sick and wounded In war may be perpetuated. This memorial Is dedi cated to the service of the American Red Cross." Red Cross Boxes.
