SAVED FROM DEATH
George E. Richardson Averts a Horrible
freci.
THOUGH CUT ALMOST TO PIECES
He Dragged His Body Along the Rail
way Track and Gave the Dan
ger Signal.
Portland, Or., March 31. The brav
ery of George E. Richardson, ' a laborer
employed in a hopyard,' saved Southern
Pacific overland passenger train No.-15
from being wrecked midway between
Drain and Yoncalla this morning.
About 9 o'clock last night Richardson,
who had started : from Drain" -to Rose'
burg, on foot, down the railroad track,
at the south end of a trestle a short dis
tance from Drain, found a rail which
had been taken from the track, for 'the
evident purpose of derailing the train
While standing and debating the action
which had best be taken to prevent the
impending catastrophe should the com
ing train pass without being signaled,
either four or five men, Richardson is
not certain as to the number, suddenly
appeared on the trestle, and one of them
attacked him, beating and cutting him
severely, inflicting an ugly wound with
some sharp instrument on the left breast
just below the nipple, and another about
eight inches further down. Another
man struck him on the head with a re
volver, cutting his head open on the
right side and knocking him senseless,
and at the same time pushed him off the
bridge, where he lay in the gulch below
for an indefinite length of time before
recovering consciousness.
He then crawled out of the gulch on to
the trestle and made his way slowly
down the track for a distance of about
one mile, where he met the coming
train at 1 :28 o'clock this morning. As
soon as he saw the headlight of the ap
preaching train he took his handkerchief
from his pocket and,, striking a match,
lighted the handkerchief, '. which he
waved as a signal for the engineer to
stop. When the train came to a stand
still the startled trainmen climbed down
and picked up the brave Richardson in
a very exhausted condition, and carried
him into one of the coaches, where a cot
was improvised, and the injured man
was made aB comfortable as possible.
He then told the story of finding the
rail removed, and being beaten by the
four or five men. The train moved
slowly on to the trestle, having first at
tempted to back up to Rice Hill, which
was found to be an impossibility. The
rail was then put into' place, and the
train ran .on to Portland, arriving in
this city at 1 :51 this morning.
The wounded .jnan was bronght to
Portland on the train, which was met
by Vice-President Fields, of the South
ern Pacific company, and . Dr. George
Wilson, the company's physician, who
had him removed at once to the Good
Samaritan hospital, where everything
which could be done to render him com
fortable was done. ' He is about 40 years
of age and has been working for John
Foshay and M, W. Ayers in a; hopyard
about four miles north of Eugene, grub
bing hops and clearing land preparatory
to plowing. ; .
He can give no accurate description
of the robbers, as they set upon bim. so
suddenly he had but little opportunity
to look them over. He thinks he would
be able to recognize the man who first
struck him and cut him. This man, he
states, was a large man, unusually tall,
with bushy black hair and beard. He
states he is a gardener, and, being out
of employment, was making his way on
foot toward Roseburg. - ;
Resolutions of thanks were : framed
and signed by all the passengers in
which they heartily recommend him to
the consideration of the railroad com
pany for a suitable reward for his brave
and noble. deed. - '
Had the robbers been successful in
carrying out their designs they would
have secured a large amount of boodle,
as it is reported on good authority that
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s treasure box con
tained $35,000 in gold alone, shipped
from San Francisco to a Portland bank,
while other sums in the box brought the
sum up to yearly f 50,000. In addition
to this, one passenger bad several
thousand dollars in bills in his pocket
book, which, added to the pocket money
and jewelry' possessed by the numerous
passengers, would ' have swelled the
booty toa very large sum.
At a late hour the wounded man was'
still in the surgery, where he was under
going an examination, and nothing
could be ascertained as to the probable
result of his injuries.
The Southern Pacific officials stated
to a reporter that no definite clue to
the ' perpetrators has as yet been ob
tained, but the local authorities are
scouring the country in the vicinity of
the attempted wreck. The company
will send a brace of detectives to the
spot at once. " It is believed impossible
for the guilty parties to escape, and the
Company will probably offer a large re
ward for their apprehension.
Behrlng Set Commission Scandal.
Chicago, March 31. A special from
Washington to the Record says Secre
taries - Gresham - and ' Carlisle have
brought to light a scandal of sensational
dimensions affecting the staff 'of the
Behring sea commission, now in session
in Paris, and adds :
It is probable Major Elijah W, Hal
ford, who, while private secretary to
Harrison, was appointed a paymaster in
the army, will be recalled from his
present post as disbursing officer of the
Behring sea commission unless he con
sents to certain material changes in the
condition. -of affairs as Gresham and
Carlisle find them. Moreover, it is
probable' the services of ex-Secretary of
State John W." Foster, now .serving as
American agent of the'Behring. sea arbi
trators, would be dispensed with if his
recent high position as a cabinet officer
did not in some measure protect him
from too harsh criticism and too sum
mary action.
. The story then goes on to eay that
members of the staff of the commission
have been allowed extremely liberal per
quisites in addition to the regular com
pensation. It says it is not known what
Foster receives, but leaves 'it to be in
ferred it is quite a large sum in view of
the statement that Halford, in addition
to his regular pay as major of $3,200 to
$3,600 per year, is allowed f 15 ; per day,
or in all about $8,675 per year. J. Stan
ley Brown, husband of Mollie Garfield,
daughter of the late President. Garfield,
is drawing two salaries, one of $10, the
other $15 per day, or $9,125 per year.
Several others receive double pay, the
extra ranging from $15 to $6 per day.'
A Worthy Scion.
New York, March 31. Willard H.
Pardridge, son of "Plunger" Pardridge,
of the board of trade, and who is only
19 years of age, was secretly married to
Miss Charlotte Budd, by the Rev. A. J.
Canfield, Wednesday night. . When Mr.
Pardridge was informed yesterday
morning of his son's unexpected mar
riage he was dazed at first, but after
thinking the i matter over decided to
grant his blessing and say nothing. The
bride resided in a cottage near the ' Par
dridge mansion. Though her parents
are not wealthy, she is as' accomplished
as she is beautiful. The plunger called
on his daughter-in-law later in the. day
and warmly welcomed her as a member
of his family. Mrs. Pardridge, mother
of the young man. is now spending a
month at Pasadena, Qal., where the
young couple will spend their honey
moon. .'
Killed by an Avalanche,
Austin, Nev., March 31. News is re
ceived from -Kingston' canyon that
Thomas Graves, his " wife and three
children have been killed by a snow
slide in Crooked canyon, 20 miles south
of Austin. ' George Schmidt, who went
to Graves' place, found that a slide had
occurred, and on investigation, discov
ered that a part of the Graves cabin was
gone. He found Graves' head protrud
ing, from the snow where the cabin had
stood, and thinks the others are proba
bly buried in the cabin also. He imme

The ' Royal " the Strongest and
Purest Baking; Powder.
Whether any other baking powder is equal to
"Royal.' let the official reports decide. When
ihie different powders were purchased on the open
market and ; examined by Prof. Chandler, of the
New-Y ork Board of Health, the result showed that
Royal .Baking . Powder contained twenty-seven
per cent greater strength than any other brand.
. -.When compared in money value, this difference
would be as follows : :
If one pound of Royal Baking . Powder sells
for 50 cents, . -
. One pound of no other powder is worth over
.36 cents. V .. ..' ,
If another baking powder is forced upon you
by the grocer in place of the Ro,yal, see that you

of the wife and the children. Graves
had-been working a. mine all winter
there.'
Xroops Sent to Antlers.
Washingvos, March 31. In response
to a telegram from Commissioner Gib
bons, at Antlers, I. T., sent last night,
saying bloodshed was imminent between
the rival Choctaw factions, Secretary
Hoke Smith communicated with the
secretary of war with the result that the
officer in command of the United States
troops nearest the scene of the distur
bance was instructed to inform himself
on the situation, and take whatever
action was necessary. Agent - Bennett,
at Muskogee, has also been directed to
proceed at once to the locality and re
port on the situation.
Secretary Morton Plan.
Washington, March 31. Secretary
Morton, of the department of. agricul
ture, has devised a plan to test the fit
ness of applicants for positions not gov
erned by the civil service rules. Each

as to moral and physical qualifications,
and on the. work which he will be re
quired to perform. He hopes, by this

Canyon City News.
Stock has been turned out to rustle in
many sections. Many are dying.
Many thousands of dollars will be
taken out of the placer mines this sea
son, by reason of the unusual quantity
of water, where comparatively nothing
has been obtained for many years.
From parties just over from Harney
valley we learn that frogs down about
the lakes are looking very well this
season. The canning industry will not
flourish there until the completion of
the Oregon Pacific.
Cattle are dying in large numbers up
the valley, we learn. Winter hung on
so long after it did start that haystacks
melted away and left the hungry stock
to gaze on a cold, cruel world covered
with snow. News.
