Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, upon the summons of County Coroner W. C. l'obl, the following named gen tlemen of this city appeared at his olllce at the corner of Kleventh and Dane street, as Juror In the matter of the lii'iuest on the body of Anton Anderson, who died At Ht. Mary's hos pital on Monday from tho efTects of it guu-shot wound received on Hunday, October 2Mb ,nt his home place In the I.ewln and Clark country, uud at the hands of his friend and compan ion, Martin Herg, In a drunken tussle for the possesion of tho gun In ques tion: Mennrs, William Dench, fore man; Kd. Hallock, I,. K. Hellg, C. C. UoHcnlwrg, O. C. Lnxell and P. O. Pe terson. They viewed tho remains and then listened to the testimony of six witnesses, beside Sheriff M. H. I'om croy, Deputy Md-ean and Martin Herg. The testimony of the six men al luded to had to do with the actions of the principals In the tragedy be fore the same was enacted and while they were abroad In the country, and from the home of the deceased, where It transpired. Hut none of It Indicat ed any bad blood or vicious Inclin ations on tho part of the men In volved. Martin Herg was the only living witness to the real circumstances aur roundlng the death of Anderson and he told the same story he has told repeatedly since It happened, 1n Jail and out of It, all of which has ap peared at length In these columns; nnd that It was caused by an over-indulgence In bad lbiuor and through the scramble for the possession of the old shot-gun, without a scintilla of bad feeling, was evidently borne In on the Jury, for at the conclusion of the case they brought In a verdict that Anton Anderson came to his death through the accidental discharge of a shot-gun, but refrained from mentioning Martin Berg In their con clusions. It was thought at the time of the rendering of the verdict that nerg would be held pending the Investiga tion to be made by the district at torney's office, but Berg was released yesterday afternoon by Sheriff Pom eroy upon the order of .Coroner Pohl. and he Is now a free man, though a very unhappy one. The funeral of Anton Anderson will take place this nfternoon In the Lewis & Clark cometery, Rev. Kleffsen of ficiating. There are no known rela tives of the deceased In this country, though there are ninny friends who will undoubtedly be In attendance. Martin Berg was Interviewed short ly after his release by a reporter of this paper, and he was free to confess his grateful sense of the terrible pre dicament he had escaped, and heart ily deplored the death of his friend and neighbor. He was perfectly con scious of the vital cause of the drend ful contretemps, and made the solemn promise, to the reporter, to the sher iff, and others around about at the time, that so long ns he lived he would never touch liquor again and he looked and spoke ns though he meant It from his very soul. Thus ends one of the saddest chap ters In the booze history of the county, (ind it Is hoped that Berg will adhere to bis vow, for, aside from that weakness, he seems to be an hon est and well intentloned man and dis posed to act the part of a good cltl zen. A Lucky Astorian On the 21st of August last, a certain citizen of this city had occasion to send a postal not? In the sum of five dollars hence to ii business mam In the State of Washington and by some ilnadver tnnce he nils-directed the envelope containing the letter and the remit tance. Ho accenuated the blunder by also misdirecting the letter on the In side, so that It went far adrift nnd became, so far ns Us sender and re mitter wns concerned, a lost thing. He advised the postal authorities here of his blunder, nnd they put the ma chinery of the department at work upon the problem of Its recovery, and so flue nnd far-reaching la Uncle Sam's great hand nnd Its well-ordered manipulation, that yesterday afternoon the vagrant letter nnd Its original en closure was found In the box of the Astoria man who made the bungle. It had come back to hhn from Washing ton, P. C. All of which goes to show what a superb system is maintained for the good of the people, and that the Astoria office Is squarely In line with the huge machinery of which it Is a minute fraction.
