EXPENSIVE INTERMENT
AND FLORAL TRIBUTES
Then - It Appears That Man' She
' Buried Was Not Her Brother, Two
Patients at State Insane Asylum
Bearing Same Name. '
Louis A. Frasee Is still alive,, but
Louts Frasee is dead. And the one wa
burled for th other. A weeping sister's
tears have quickly- dried and the state
of Oregon msy be forced to pay for a
first-class funeral given Louis Frasee,
who, when death caUed, waa mistaken
for the lxul A. Frasee.
About 10 year ago Louis A. Frasee
waa sent to th Insane asylum from this
county and he; ha been In that Institu
tion since. .' Several week ago Mrs. F,
Q. Vaughn of Eugnv a sister, received
a message from th hospital- authorities
stating that her brother was dead and
asking what disposition should be made
of the body. She at once wired the
friciaii to forward me body to I
Eugene. .
The request of th sister was at once
complied with.
A lot in th cemetery of ' th ' uni
versity city was purchaaed and th body
laid to rest. Impressive funeral serv
ice were held, manv beautiful ' and
coetly floral tribute were laid on the
casket and a," large throng of friends
ronowed in boay to vne Dunai grouna.
Mr. Vaughn then wrote to various
relative regarding her brother's death
and burial. 'A brother In Illinois be
came skeptical beeaus Louis wss said
to have some 11.600 in cash and five
acres of land near Portland, and he at
one telegraphed the superintendent of
the asylum for an account of Lout A.
Frasee' death. Great was th surprise
of th Illinois man when h received a
message that hi brother wa not dead.
In the meantime 'Mr. Vaughn came
to Portland to settle her supposed dead
brother estate. - F. G. Vaughn wa ap
pointed administrator, appraisers- were
selected and everything don In a legal
way to have th affair of the estate
settled. Attorney .Ralph Wilbur waa
the guardian of Frasee. and when noti
fied of the latter death. ' Wilbur at
one closed up all th guardianship mat
ter. Vaughn appointed J. Bronaugh
attorney for th .estate, when the mis
take of th asylum authorities wa dis
covered. - -
In the Institution there were two In
sane patients named Louis Fraae and
when one died he was thought at first
to be Louis A. Frasee.
Local attorneys are-of th opinion
that th state will be compelled to pay
Mrs. Vaughn for the funeral expense of
tb Frasee she burled.

"Travel from the eastern states to

40 to to per cent heavier than In any
year in th history of th country, with
th sol exception of th Lewi and
Clark exposition season," said A. T 0.
Charlton, aaslstant general passenger
agent of th Northern Paclflo.
It Is a general view among railroad
men that Portland will this year be
visited bv th largest number of in
vestors, and Oregon will be Investigated
by the greatest number of homeseekers,
ever known in a single year prior to th
fair year. It la sold th reason ar
plain th people of th tut who ar

ar looking for opportunities to profit

by th advertising th Oregon country

able stories told by thos who visited
Portland last year.- They want to see
for themselves what kind of a country
thl Is. and they ar planning to visit
th coast this yar.

Th railroad companies ar arranging
to accommodate all classes th Inves
tor who wants to oom on a faat train

gardless of price; the Investigator, who
wishes to come out and e th country
and return home before taking final
action about moving, and th man who
has locked,, decided, and Is ready to
move. Bpaclal excursion rates hav
been mad for the two latter classes,
and th train service over all transcon
tinental lines being Improved , and
made speedier .for th first named
class. 1
"Whit passenger movements ar a
peculiar phenomena, and never can be
foretold with any certainty,- the pros
pects ar good for a very large pas
