Arthur Stabling had a narrow escape
yesterday from serious injury if not
death. On mounting his horse the
animal suddenly threw itself over back

caught under it. Fortunately he fell to

where you can treat your lady friends,

The long talked of observation car was
attached to the local yesterday for the
first time. It will give travelers a much
better opportunity to view the ecenery
than the con mou cars afford. General
Passenger Arent Hurlburt and family
came up on it, with Mr. Qaigley and Mr.
Downing, reporters for the Telegram,
and Mr. F. C. Malone, president of the
Portland city council.
The Senter Pay ton Company showed
to a crowded house Saturday night, and
it was with a feeling of regret that onr
people realized it was the company's last
appearance. Mr. Payton expects to re
turn this fall with his company strength
ened, and if he does he can be assured of
good houses. The troupe left for Walla
Walla last night, and will show there
four nights.
Dr. Hollister was called yesterday to
repair the damages sustained by a man
named Baxter, who fell over the bluff at
the cut near the big trestle west of town.
Although Baxter fell 150 feet, he was in
shape to receive repairs and get well.
One arm was broken, and bis head and
hips were cut and bruised. The Dr. re
paired damages temporarily, as far as
possible, and the man was sent to the
hospital at Portland this afternoon.

The Telephone Situation.
The telephone patent notice which has
appeared in The Chronicle columns
daily for the past few weks, probably
has considerable significance when taken
in conjunction with the telegraphic news
item published in the Sunday Oregonian
of May 19th, to the effect that the
United States court of appeals in the
case ot the U. S. vs. the Bell Telephone
Company, relative to the Berliner
patent, had reversed the decision of the
lower court and that therefore the Amer
ican Bell Telephone Co., practically re
tains its monopoly of all forms of battery
telephones.

Wasco warehouse.
from the Columbia hotel to the depot,
found the dead body of a man lying on
the track. He at once telephoned to
the Umatilla House to stop the engine
from coming down until the body was
removed. . A freight train had pulled
out at 2:10 wesj-bound, and the passen
ger being about due from the east, the
engine to take it on to Portland was ex
pected at any moment. The engine
backed down by the Umatilla House
just os the telephone message was re
ceived, and the engineer did not under
stand what Mr. Somers called to him.
The result was that the engine backed
over the body. When the engine got
near the depot Ed Howell flagged them,
but it was too late to prevent the body
from being badly maneled. Sheriff
Driver and the engineer crawled under
the engine and dragged the body, which
was fast in the pilot, out. The coroner
summoned a jury and held an inquest
on the body yesterday, and after hearing
all the testimony, the following verdict
waB rendered :
In the matter of the inquest held on
the body of an unknown man found, dead
on the railroad track in Dalles Citv.
Wasco county, Oregon, near the electric
light plant :
We, the jury impaneled by W. H
Butts, coroner of Wasco county, Oregon,
to inquire into the cause of the death of
the person whose body is before us
after hearing the testimony of the wit
nesses, find that the body is a man 5
feet, 8 inches in height, weight about
169 pounds, sandy complexioned, with
dark brown hair and sandy mustache ;
dressed with two pairs of overalls, red
undershirt, cotton shirt, blue ducking
blouse, or "jumper," new number
Congress gaiter shoes, and good black
felt hat. We find no other mark by
which he could be identified, and his
name is unknown to us.
We find that he came to his death by
being run over by freight No. 21, going
west from The Dalles, at about? o'clock
a. m. on the 19th day of' May, 1895,
probably while trying to board the train
for a free ride, and that his death is not
due to the fault or neglect of any one ex
cept himself, aB far as we are able' to .
learn.

It has since been learned that the
man's name was Albert D. Priest, and
be was in the employ of County Clerk
Kelsay, working on his ranch on Cheno-
weth creek. Saturday night he drew
$2.50 and Baid he was coming up to town
to the show. : Mr. Eel say says that, he
was a former railroad employee, and
that before leaving he said that he had
a pass on the U. P., and that he would
go np the' track. Mr. Kelsay thinks
that Priest drank too much, and that he
undertook to jump the freight going out
with the mention of jumping off near
the Cbenowttb creek trestle, and that,
owing to hiH drinking, he made a mis
step and fell under the train.
He left nothing in the shape of letters,
but be had several photographs, one evi
dently his sister, and others supposed to
be her children. The pictures were
taken by Mrs. A. C. Pitts, Humansville,
Missouri, and, as on the. back of one,
that-of one of the Jittl girls, is this
memorandum, "Maud Pitts; we call
her John," it is supposed that Mrs.
Pitts is his Bister, there- being also a
strong family likeness between the pic
ture supposed to be Mrs. Pitts, and the
dead man. The remains were buried
today. " -
