Through the effort of Hugh Brady,
the veteran diver, the body of James
Herbert Oilman, yard foreman of the
Banfleld, Vcysey Fuel company, who
mysteriously disappeared last Tuesday
night from the wood yard at the foot of
Lincoln street, was recovered from the
Wll'amette river this morning.
The unfortunate man wa seen at
p. m. Tuesday, when he was at work
moving one of the barges at the fuel
company's dock near the Portland Lum
ber mills.
As Oilman was known to be a strict
ly temperate man and a faithful em
ploye, the only tenable theory was that
he had accidentally fallen into the
river and waa drowned. Acting on this
assumption the Banfleld. Veysey com
pany engaged Hugh Brady to grapple
tor the body, with the result that he
brought the remains to the surface this
morning, from a point In the river near
the mooring place of th barge. I
Deceased waa 27 years of aae and un
married. He resided with his sister,
Mr Bchafer, at Lents.
Deputy Coroner Arthur L. Flnley was
notified of the finding of the corpse and
removed the body to the morgue. No
arrangements have as yet been made
for the funeral.
He was educated in New England, pre

university, graduating n the class o
1877.
"He wss admitted to the ifar in Mas

he came to Portland, Oregon, in the fall
of JJ79, spending considerable of the

bench of the circuit court of the state
of Oregon for Multnomah county, which
posl'lon, bv the votes of the people

Of a literary turn of mind, and with

lost near Toll Gate, in the Blue Moun

a false trail. At the time of the disap
pearance over 200 people were camped
at Toll Gate, The boy started from a

Oregon marksmen secured their share
of medals, and taken all In all no guard

than the boys from The Beaver state.
General Finzer is more than pleased.
Next year he hopes to be able to give
his men who will compel a llttl longer
practice.
"You see," .continued the general,
"shooting for prize need a certain
amount of earnest practice. In fact It
needs more than our boy received for
the late contest. I don't want my boys
over-trained, but I do want them in bet
ter condition than they were this year.
To win at a shoot is something like
preparing for a prise fight. Over
training Is bad, but so is comparatively
speaking, no training at all."
General Finzer stated tnat he thought
the next annual competition would be
at Port Cllnton'Ohio. It is probable
that at least eight men who made up
the team this year will be found on
the competing team next year.
