A PROBABLE CHANGE.
It Is Thought the O. R. & N. Co. Again
Has Charge of the Road-
It is reported today that all ticket
agents and conductors are to deposit
money received in - the First National
Bank of Portland lor the O. R. & N. Co.,
and not to the Union Pacific as formerly.
Oar citizens cannot help, construing this
as a change of management to the for
mer company, and are overjoyed over
the event. When the O. R. & N; Co.
turned over their lease and property to
the- Union Pacific Eome years ago, the
road bed and rolling stock were
in splendid condition. Now it is
virtually - wrecked. Then, the stock
brought a high premium, something like
150, now it is down to 20. ' The old com
pany will have a herculean task on its
hands in refitting and rebuilding cars
and track', but it starts in with the great
est good will on the part of the traveling
public.
Speaking of the probability of the O.
R. & N. railroad going into the hands of
a receiver the Portland Telegram said a
few days ago : ' , v
Should the courts set aside the lease,
it is believed the road would at once go
into the hands of a receiver, and the
knowing ones go so far as to say positive
ly who would be the receiver, and even to
name the men who would fill the offices
under him, at the head of the . different
departments. The slate, as it is believed
to be in railroad circles, is as follows :
Receiver C. H. Prescott.
General manager R. W. Baxter.
General superintendent C. W. John

General passenger agent W. H.

- There ' were ho" witnesses to the Cum
mings murder at the Cascades, and all
that can be learned is the story told by
Hull himself, who has a frank way
about him, apparently tree from decep
tion. Hull says the trouble was over a cou
ple of saws, which he owned,- one of
which Cuinmings wanted to buy. " The
price was to be $3 for the small one and
(5 for the larger one. Cummings de
cided to take the $3 one and Hull boxed
up the other, preparatory' to ship. The
buyer of the saw took it to the woods,
but was dissatisfied with it and at noon
both men met in the cabin. Cnmminga
said he had decided" to . take the other
saw,but Hull said he had decided to
keep it, and now that it was boxed np
he would not part with it. This an
gered' Cummings, who said he would
have it, and Hull replied that they were'
yet his saws, having been paid for nei
ther, and he would do what he liked
with his ownr property. This led' to a
trial of strength for the possession of the
saw, and Cummings reached for a fork
lying on the table, and holding it low,
made a rush' for Hull. The latter
warned him to keep back, but- on he
came, and Hull reaching for his revol
ver, which lay on the bed beside which
he was standing, pulled the trigger with
fatal result.
This is Hall's story, told to two dif
ferent men in The Dalles who have in
terviewed him at the jail, and there is
no other evidence bearing directly upon
the deed. ,
No. 8 Delayed.
No. 8, the local accommodation train,
was delayed this afternoon by helping to
get the steam shovel on the track, which
was derailed .Wednesday evening. The
track was lower on one side than the
other, and in some manner the shovel
was overturned by the swing crane, mak
ing the center of equilibrium fall outside
the track on the downward side. The
falling machine also drew-with it three
flat cars which were attached.. No in
jury was done the track, and trains went
through as usual.- The scene of the acci
dent was about three miles this side of
Hood River where it was stationed.
Some of the hands were scratched and
bruised', but none seriously." . One of
them had to jump thirty feet. . The en
gineer remained with the falling ma
chine, but was unhurt. " He endeavored
to jump, but was caught in some way,
and one pants leg was' neatly severed
without bruising the flesh. It is ex
pected the disabled steam shovel will
arrive with No. 8.
