No word has been received from Mc
Coy's Portland friends regarding funds
to pay tne -men, and this afternoon
Sheriff Driver took the afternoon train
for the purpose of enforcing payment of
-the note. If payment is refused, the
sheriff proposes to commence a suit at
once. The note it considered first-class.
Mr. McCoy received an answer from
Parsons about 4 o'clock, yesterday. He
tried bard to secure the money to pay
the men, promising any kind of security,
and Parsons promised to do what be
conld and answer' by 12 o'clock today.
The answer, however, did not mature,
and Mr. Driver goes this afternoon to
Portland.
We were in error yesterday ' in stating
that Sheriff Driver distributed a number
. of revolvers to bystanders, or at any
rate that number was small, and was
confined only to regular , deputies, of
which there were not more than one or
two. The sheriff placed great confi
dence in the law-abiding; spirit ot the
men, and it was not misplaced. They

BART CONftOY KILLED.
Only Thought W.i or His Famllj
Xh Coroner'. Inquest.
Bart T. Conroy, better known among
bis friends as "Back" Conroy,- was
fatally injured - at 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon near Arlington. . ..
He was braking on the worktrain,
'which is engaged in filling in the track
four miles west of Arlington. While
eetting the brake, the iron that holds it
in place gave way, and ' with it he fell
between the cars. - He- fell outside the
track, except his right leg, which was
crushed and torn from near its junction
with the body. When found directly
after he remarked: ''Well, boys,' I
stayed with the wheel, and I have got it
with me," and such Was the case. The
poor fellow still had the brake wheel in
his grasp when the crew ran to bis aid.
The remark is thought to have indicated
his thought that be realized his injury
was fatal, and with' an unselfishness
seldom encountered, bis last thoughts
were of bis family and their mainte
nance after he had breathed his last,
and he desired to retain the wheel as
evidence of the cause of His death.' ' " ..
He was at once carried to the caboose,
and taken to Arlington and in
an incredibly short time Dr. Geis
endorfer' of Arlington was sum
moned, who did -every thing in bis power
for the injured man. He was brought
to The Dalles, arriving - here about 8
o'clock. In the judgment of the doctor,
he was sent to Portland, tbo company
kindly furnishing a special car and loco
motive. But he never reached that city
alive. He died about 12 :15 at Clarnie,
the first station out from Portland.
With him was his sorrowing wife, who
was notified' of her husband's misfor
tune at The Dalles and promptly came
to his side.
Mr. Conroy leaves two children, the
older only three years - of age. The
younger is an infant of four months.
The deceased was widely known in
the city as . a sober, industrious man.
kind to his family and was universally
liked. - He has been unemployed regu
larly for about three years, and was an
extra-man, filling in his time at other
kinds of work as be could get it. For a
time be worked on the Vogt - building.
. At 7 o'clock this morning .his "body
was brought home from Portland by
special, and at 11 o'clock Coroner Butts
held an inquest on the remains.
THIS VEBDICT. .
A verdict was arrived at by the jury
at 3 p. m., and is as follows :
We the jury impaneled by. W. H.
Butts, coroner of Wasco county, to in
quire into the cause of - the death of the
body now before us, find as follows : ,

B. T. Conroy, a resident of Dalles City,
Oregon, a married man of -the age of 27
years ; that he came to his death on the

of his death was a defective brake staff
on gravel car No. 504, which brake the
deceased, in the line of bis duty, under
took to set, and said brake staff broke
and caused the deceased to fall off from
the train and said, train ran over the
right leg and side of said deceased,

- ONLY AN ARTIST'S DREAM. I
Picture nn th Drop Cortain Mistaken
for The Dalles and Surroundings.
There has been . much speculation on
the part of audiences at the New Vogt
as to -whether the drop curtain repre
sents The Dalles and its mountain sur
roundings. The picture of the city is of
course fanciful; representing the ancient
Grecian style of architecture, and the
steamer in the foreground is much too
ponderous to be a good . imitation of the
Regulator. However the appearance of
of the mountains and the river and the
situation of the city, as depicted on the
curtain, presents a general view similar
to the existing topography surrounding
The Dalle's, but a minute inspection
fails to confirm the impression .that it is
a copy of nature. The entire picture is
a creation, though the artist came sq
near reproducing nature that it must be
considered a remarkable . coincidence-r-
The fact is that the artist was only' n
the city a half hour before painting the
scenery. He was then here only for
business, and had he been inclined for
sketching the day was drizzling with
rain, and he would have been nnable to
do so. The conclusion is that The Dalles
with its surroundings is a fit subject' for
the arlist's brush. The picture he cre
ated might be such a one as he would
produce from memory after years of ab
sence, and conscientiously endeavoring
to make a true copy. It is a fact, how
ever, and a very complimentary one,
that the grand landscape shown on the
drop curtain, though resembling the' city
and surroundings so nearly as to deceive
many who have lived here for years, was
onlv an artist's dream. ' - '
