This has been a perfect winter day,
lacking only a little snow. The sun
shone brightly all day and was warm
enough to just thaw the top of the
ground and nothing more.
In noting the death of Joseph W.
Ready yesterday, we stated that he wa9
president of the American Railway
Union. This we are informed by his
brother engineers is a mistake.
Arrangements have been made for
shipping the body of Engineer Ready to
his old home, in Bethel, Pennsylvania.

Another train wreck occurred at Turn
water, near Celilo, last night about 11
o'clock. This time the accident was
caused by a broken wheel, or something
of that kind. Several cars left the track
and were pretty badly wrecked. It is
said that the sections of one of the gates
at the Cascade Locks was on the train,
but are now under the wrecked cars, and
are probably pretty badly damaged. If
this is the fact another delay will per-

much postponed piece of work.
Yesterday was "squawker day,"
every youngster in town having from
one to a dozen of those ear-disturbing
rubber nuisances, and not one of them
seemed to grow weary of tooting the
measly things. One redeeming feature
about them, however, is their similarity
to the national banks they go "bust"
pretty easily. In spite of much blowing
and continuous bursting there is yet
quite a sufficiency of them, but they will
paes away.
The Ready Inquest.
The testimony before the coroner's
jury yesterday is too voluminous to
print. In substance it is that Ready's
train was on the side-track, that the
switch had been left open necessarily to
allow Ready to back his train. The
principal point to be decided was as to
who was to blame for the ac -ident, and
under the rules of the company the
blame seems to fall on the brakeman
and conducter of the freight, and partly
on Ready himself. Wc pay seems to,
because we know nothing of t hose rules,
but this is tbe inference given by the
witnesses. There, is no question as to
the flagman being sent out, and none as
to his flagging the passenger twice, get
ting an answer each time. The fact
that Engineer Sherman did not put on
the air brakes is explained by the fact
that the flagman instead of stopping at
hia post ran on towards his train as soon
as his signal was answered. From this
fact Sherman supposed the track was
clear as far as the other end of the
switch.
Whoever of the trainmen may be to
blame we do not pretend to nay ; but
we do say that the primary cause of the
accident lies with the company and the
board of railroad commipsioiifrs. The
company should not send out trains
longer than the sidings, and t he board
of railroad commissioners should not al
low it to do so, and for this reason the
blame lies more with them than with
the trainmen, or any of them. The
erdict of the coroner's jury is as fol-
ows:
"We the jury called and sworn to in
quire into the death of Joseph W. Ready,
find, First, that be was employed as an
engineer on tbe Oregon Railway and
Navigation Co's railroad, that at about
3:35 o'clock a. m., December 25th, A .D.,
1894, at what is known as the Summit,
on the line of the said railroad in Was
co county, Oregon, a head-end collision
occurred between train No. 1 and extra
engine 386, and then and there the said
Joseph W. Reedy was killed by reason
of said collision. Second, we also find
that the cause of tbe collision was
through the non-observance of rules No.
86 and 99 of Employes Time 1 able, No.
62 of said railroad by the enii'yoyee of
extra train engine No. 386.

Amusement ill Mitchell.
As I sit at my window this 23d of Dec,
I shiver and cringe, tor just below there,
seems to be a heavy snowstorm and its
dismal and bleak appearance strikes
chill to my bones. But there ia no
reason for complaint, for the winter, so
far, has been almost incomparable in ex
cellence, until a few hours since and the
sky seemed suddenly overcast and a
heavy storm coming on us. It is but a
few miles below and long ere this comes
to you we will have had a snowstorm, at
least you may think so, and aB the ap
pearance at a distance severe enough.
But snowstorms are not all we have to
attract our attention and divert our
minds. A few of the most interesting I
must tell you. First and very important
Mrs. Dr. Hauck has been quite sick the
past weekj being confined to her room
entirely and to her bed most of the time,
but at present is better.
Frank Forrester's infant has been very
sick the past week.
More sidewalk has been laid until
there has-been a complete new walk laid
half the length of the town.
Dr. Houck is having anew office built.
Sasser has but lately put in a full
Etock of goods.
A Baptist church was organized here
under the instructions of Rev. Mr.' Moar
of Arlington, who had been holding ser
vices here for about two weeks. A
worthy and competent man who held
his audience in rapt surprise as he told
his story in so lucid and graphic a man
ner tbat left hardly a doubt in tbe un
prejudiced minds of the hearers, that
there was foundation for the truth of the
assertions made. Everyone was better
for his coming. Such a thing cannot be
said of every minister that comes here,
I am very sorry to say, but it is true.
This is the first church organized here,
although there were but few members
we hope it may prosper.
Quite an amusing affray lent its ridic
ulous side to the people of Mitchell one
day of last week ; amusing as well as
ridiculous. Mr. Frank Van Ordstrand
and his wife were having some difficulty
in the barroom of Sasser's hotel. Van
Ordatrand struck her several times when
O. S. Maxwell, of thia place, interfered,
which caused words to be passed between
the men. Van Ordstrand called Max
well a liar, when Maxwell struck him
in the face wiih hia fist. Van Ordstrand
laid bold of the dinner bell, which was
lying on a table near, and struck Max
well a blow with it in the face. Max
well caught and wrenched it away from
Van Ordstrand giving him blow after
blow on the head, cutting the scalp at
each blow, until the man was well
hashed to pieces, when friends interfered
and parted them. The injuries of
neither man are serious.
A dispute, which ended in a few slaps
and slight bruises, occurred at a sale of
some sheep at G. L. Frazell's place on
Gird creek. A man by the name of Pet'
ergon, a herder, was selling the sheep
for his wages, which amounted to $5. 3d.
Frazell bad a mortgage on the sheep
against Kemp Berry. Peterson bid the
sheep in for 61 cents per head, Mrs. Ed,
for every Dollars worth of
goods bought from us during
the month of December we
will give you a chance in our

MAIER & BENTON.
Parish, Kemp Berry's mother-in-law,
and partner in the sheep, bid 62 cents
per head. Peterson agreed to let her
have them if she would pay cash. She
could not do it. Peterson then gave
Frazell a bill of sale on the sheep for the
$5.36. This caused words to pass be
tween Mrs. Parish and Frazell. She
called him a liar. He retorted by saying,
"While I have been at that, what you
beeu doing?" At that Berry struck
Frazell two or three times in the face.
Anyone who knows Frazell knows also
he was not long in returning blow for
blow. Round and round, up and down,
but soon friends parted them and but a
few bruises were the result. So ends
the chapter of pugilistic exercises.

There waa some little trouble in getting
the magic lantern to working rightly but
this was soon remedied and the immense
views perfect in every way held the at
tention not only of the little folks but of
the larger ones also. The recitations
and sones were thoroughly appreciated
by all. Mr. Davis tells us he will give
another exhibition with the magic lan
tern, as he has hundreds of views, and
all well worth seeing.
