FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1907. 1 THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTOKTA, OREGON. FINDS LONG LOST , BROTHER GIVEN UP AS DEAD AFTER TWENTY YEARS, J. D. GRANT, OF SAN FRANCISCO, FINDS S. W. GRANT, IN ASTORIA A HAPPY REUNION. J. D. Grant, nwinbwr of the flnn of Grant Brothers, prominent con t rectors of Sa Frnciso, has found brother i& Astoria whom he has not seen in 20 vfars, and who was given up long time since by the inerobew of his family as being dead in an unknown grave, 'S. V. Grant, a citiien of this city, i the brother whom he located Wednes day night, and the former will go to San Francisco to meet the othw mem ber of his family at the end of next wesk. $8. W. Grant, the oldest son, left the Grant family home in San Luis Obispo, CalH in 1887 to make his own way in the world and when his folks las? heard Of him was in Loa Angeles. After cor responding for some time wkh the ab sent member, the family? moved to San Francisco, and from that time until a few daya ago no word came from the missing man, and the family gave him up for dead after the silence of many yeara, " The old folks paed away a few years ago surrounded by foul" sons and four daughters, but there was one face miss ing and the parents went to the great beyond without seeing the son whom they had kwt and given up for dead. ' Six weeks ago, C. F. Grant, the youngest son, was killed in an automo bile accident in San Francisco. A spec tator of the occurrence said something to one of the brothers about knowing a Grant in Astoria whom he believed to be a brother of the victim of the acci dent, and the sorrow of the brothers and sisters was tempered by the news that they would probably find the missing member of the family. Correspondence was commenced by J. D. Grant, of San Francisco, with S. AV. Grant in Astoria, and tbe belief grew into a certainty that the missing broth er had been? found. The sisters of Mr. Grant, while being confident that he was the nraci -sought man. insisted that J. D. Grant should come to Astoria and identify him if possible, although he had not wn him since he a 12 yearn of .Mr. Grant arrived in the city on Tuesday morning and locating his brother at hU place of business, walked tin to him and slapped him on the shoulder, playfully saying, "I place jwi under arrest' "All right," replied S. V. Gront. pleasantly, "Whore do you want to take mo J An introduction followed, and numer ous incidences of family history were exchanged, so that there could be no doubt that the missing brother had at hist been found. Although neither recognized the other after so manyi years, there could be no mistake, and it was happy reunion. Telegiunw were sent to the waiting brothers and sisters in San Francisco and then the two spent almost the en- tiro niirht ivommtinir what Mich had been - P o doing during the past 20 years. It was a meetinir of solemn import to both of them, when S. W. Grant was informed that his parents had been dead many yeans and that the youngest member of the family .who leaves a wife WW chil dren, had been killed a few weeks ago. Mr. Grant, of Astona, will leave for San Francisco with Mr. J. D. Grant about the end of next week, after he lis closed out bis business here, ami the brother who was given up as dead will find a warm and happy reception await ing him in Hie Golden Gate citvi COMMISSIONERS SESSION IN ooaaa8aanacao a a a done by deeds a a a oaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao John M.

What might haw been a serious ac cident was narrawly averted yesterday morning near I.lndenberger's cold sto rage plant at the foot of 8th street. The railroad roadbed between the rails is planked that wagons may drive over same; the planks running parallel with the rail. Tim wagons paing over loosened one of the planks and the. end of it wts raised sbove the level of the rails. . Train No. 25 from Seaside due at the depot at U o'clock a. m. win bowling along on time and at the usual rate or speed and picked up the plank and car ried it a distance of about 150 or 200 feet when fortunately the plank was thrown along the ties the flange of the wheel on the forward trucks cutting their way through the end of the plank and the train passed on without leaving the track. It appears that the twin came along a colt in the pilot which ex tended below the frame caught in the plank and held it until striking the frog of the switch on the trestle the bolt broke and released the plank. Had the train left the track at the point at which the plank was released I, would have gone over the trestle which at that point is 20 feet above the water nnd tlte train would have plied up with a loss of life that would have been appalling. Tlte plank was replaced and firmly fastened ami everything is In shape again. Xone aboard the train had any intention of their narrow escape.
