Coroner's inquest the two words
have been coined, though so long ago it
would seem as unlikely as would now
the originals from which they sprung.
The old English form is "crowner's
quest," and implies the ancient habit
of that official in London who was ac
customed to walk around the by-ways of
the city and hunt up dead men. Law
lessness Eas so far decreased since those
days that it is not necessary to do that.
A questionable death is a rarity, and
there are plenty of persons to apprise
the coroner of the fact, instead of, a
formerly, the coroner announcing to t
people how many dead men he hid
found that dav. I
poor unfortunates are crowded together
almost like sheep. This condition makes
it well nigh impossible for those who are
insane primarily from nervous disorders
to ever get well. Two or more are
placed in a single small room, even in
the more violent wards, and there is
constant danger of one patient abusing
another. Another difficulty is that in
the present over-crowded condition of
tbe asylum every available cell must be
utilized. Hence if it happens that a
peaceful ward is more crowded than a
violent one, the peaceful inmate, per
haps a convalescent, is thrust amid the
noise and turbulence of the violent
ward, and it does not take a great length
of time to render the patieut as bad as
the rest. It is altogether probable that
no asylum in the United States is as
crowded rb the one at Salem, and vthere
is urgent demand for the construction at
once of the Eastern Oregon branch asy
lum. The latest dispatch from Salem
shows that tbe eame circumlocution
which has been going on for two years
is yet in effect. Following is the dis
patch from Salem :
"Since the iast decision of the supreme
court, reversing the judgment of the
lower court in restraining the state board
of commissioners from locating a branch
asylum in Eastern Oregon, there has
been more or less talk as to why the
constitutional question has not been
passed upon. Though many prefer that
the board should proceed with the build
ing, others are determined to have the
court commit itself more definitely on
tbe power of the legislature to locate
the institution away from the seat of
government.. The-latter have not vet
evolved a definite plan, but the state
ment is warranted that a rehearing will
be asked or a new suit begun."

The branch asylum question drags
Blow length along. Meanwhile the ntf

at Salem keeps increasing, until

Those who attended the entertain
ment of the United Artisans last even
ing were delighted with the excellence
of the musical program given. Espe
cially worthy of mention was the
euphonium solo of Mr. J. G. Miller,
whose triple tonguing was unusually
fine, and the voe.il solo of Mr. J. A. Per
kins, who was enthusiastically encored.
The Artisans have a feature different
than other' secret societies, which will
undoubtedly make them very popular.
That is that ladies are admitted and
have the same rights and privileges as
the gentlemen. Following is the pro

Coroner Butts, in response to a sum
mons, left early Wedneeday morning
for Kmgsley. About two miles from
Kingsley, on the Neabeck farm, Alborn
D. Sanborn, an old man 72 years old,
lost his life, and on the Sunday evening
previous. He had been stopping at
Neabeck's place about seven months,
coming there from the Soldiers' Home
in Washington. Sunday evening he
started to return from Mr. Mayhew's
place to Mr. Neabeck's. This was the
last seen of him alive. The following
morning, Mr. Neabeck, missing him,
started to find him, with other neigh
bors. They first found the horse he
was riding quietly browsing by the
roadside, but with the saddle damaged.
Half a mile further they came upon
Sanborn's body, lying on the road. A
hasty examination showed that life had
been extinct for several hours. It was
supposed that behad lost control of the
horse by being brushed with a project
ing root of one of the oak grubs which
were used in making the fence, a fact
testified to by a scratch over the eye and
forehead, and that started the horse to
"bucking," with the result of throwing
the rider violently to the ground. It is
the opinion of the coroner he died al
most instantly. Marks in the road
prove that the horse had become un
ruly. Coroner Butts took the body to
Kingsley and summoned a jury there,
and the burial took place from there.
Mr. Butts returned to the city at 1
o'clock today.
Following is the verdict of the coro
ner's jury:
Kingsley, Oregon, Feb. 5th
We, the jury empanelled by the cor
ner to inquire into the cause of the dea
of the deceased, find as follows :
mat ftis name was AiDorn JJ. caul

feet five inches, in height; weight about

vice oi the United States on the first day
oi October, 1801, as a private in com
pany A, Second regiment Colorado cav
alrv, and was finally discharged on the
firsVdayof October, 1864; that he had
no known relatives in this state; that
he came to his death on Suuday evear
ing, February 2d, by being thrown from
a horse which he was riding, from some
unexplainable cause, and which caused
his death. Said accident happened on
the farm of W. H. Neabeck, near Kings
ley, Wasco county, state of Oregon.
Dated this 5th day of February, 1890.

A Different Aspect.
The alien ffs office has been re
modelled under the direction of Depnty
Sheriff Kelly, so that hereafter it will be
a pleasure for the public to transact
business in that office. The taxpayer,
on approaching the receiving teller of
that institution with his sack, will be
greeted with an affable smile from across
a counter. The receipt will be written
facing him, and not as of yore taken to
a desk in a corner and made out in ob
scurity, the official's back to the county's
patron, leaving tbe latter to conjecture
as to what is being done. Pens and ink
are handy for use, and a sloping desk
mutely invites the visitor to use it. The
light falls just right, from behind, and
on to the documents in use. The long
desk is supplied on the inner side with
drawers for books, pigeon holes for files,
and a cash drawer, dispensing with a
trip to the heavy eafe every time a cash
transaction is" made. The grimy walls
are covered with wall paper of neat de
sign, and altogether the office presents a
very attractive appearance. The wonder
is, theso convenient changes have not
been made vears ago.
