To the Honorable, the Board of Directors
of School District 13, Wasco Co., Or.:
Gentlemen : As requested by you, I
have made an examination of the books
kept by E. Jacobsen, your retiring clerk,
and beg to submit the following report:
The receipts have been made up from
three sources First, state and county
apportionment; second, Fpecial tax;
third, amounts received from tuition
and for sundry sales of school furnish
ings. 1 have compared all items charged
against the district by the county treas
urer, which cover classes 1 and 2 for
1894 snd 1895, and have found only one
discrepancy, as shown in accompanying
statement. The special tax, prior to
1894, was collected by the Bchool clerk,
and the amounts accounted for compare
with the stubs of receipt book with one
exception, where the clerk takes to ac
count $2.40 for which there is no stub.
This amount is allowed to stand, aB the
clerk admits its collection. The collec
tions under Class 3 have been made
with the knowledge and aseictanie of
Professor Gavin, your principal of The
Dalles schools, whose certificate aB to
their correctness appears herewith.
All charges for disbursements have
been compared with the warrants au
thorizing same. The vouchers have
been found genuine, and tho charges
correct with two exceptions, as shown
in statement above referred to.
The manner of keeping the accountB
has been admirable, and the records are
clear, definite and satisfactory.
Respectfully,
F. E. Bkonson.
Tho Dalles, Or., March 15, 1897.
To the Board of Directors:
I have checked up the tuition account

FITZSIMMONS WINS.
Curbett Knotted Out nt tho Cto or the
Fourteenth liound.
The prize fight at Carson awakened
considerable interest here, it being the
principal subject of conversation from
early morning, and in fact still is so.
The men Btepped in the ring and faced
each other at 11 :15. For the first eight
rounds Corbett seemed to have every
thing his own way, occasionally making
a facetious remark, but in the ninth
this was changed. Fitzsimmons went
at him like a hurricane and landed blow
after blow. The fight was hot through
the following rounds,. both men showing
signs of weakness. In the fourteenth,
Fitzsimmons made a vicious and ag
gressive fight, knocking Pompadour Jim
out of time, out of the championship and
out of the puree just as the round was
about to close.
The fight was a game one on both
sides, the results showing that they were
very evenly matched.

Yesterday about noon word was re
ceived by Coroner Butts that a dvad
body had been found in the head of Dry
Hollow, about four miles southwest of
the city. He immediately went out and
brought the body in, summoned a jury
and held an inquest. Tho body was
found at the foot of a big pine tree,
and its position and the circumstances
all point to suicide. The body was lying
on one side, the pistol with which the
deed was committed lying under the
right hand. The suicide had evidently
sat down with his back against the tree,
placed the pistol just at tho back of the
right temple and fired. The face showed
the proximity of the piBtol, being pow
der burned. When found the body was
in a good state of preservation, death
haying occurred not more than three
daya before. In addition to the de
scription given by the coroner'B jury,
we noted that the upper teeth were
prominent and somewhat irregular, the
third tooth on the right side being inside
of the others, the noss was high, thin
and aquiline, and the hands indicated
that he had performed considerable
manual labor. There were no papers of
any kind about the body, the only thing
found besides the pistol being $1.70 in
silver. The following is the verdict of
the coroner's jury :
The Dalles, Or., Mch. 10, 1897.
We. the undersigned, tho jury impan
eled by W. H. Butts, coroner of Wasco
county, Or., to inquire into the death of
an unknown person whose body is now
before us, after careful consideration of
all the testimony adduced by the wit
nesses called and sworn by said coroner,
submit the following as our verdict.
We find that the death of eaid de
ceased waa caused by a gunshot wound,
inflicted by the hand of the deceased,
aud as far as we can ascertain his death
was premeditated and deliberate upon
his part. We are unable to identify
said body, either from our own personal
knowledge or from the knowledge of any
one who has so far viewed the remains,
and forjthe further information of the
public we herewith submit a description
of the body as tar as observation can en
hshten us! which is follows :
In height deceased was about, or full j
sixfeet; weightabout 1Uor lhii pounua;
age about 35 years; color of hair dark
brown or reddish brown ; sandy mus
tache. At the time of his death he was
dressed ns follows: Brown overcoat,
with black velvet collar; black diagonal
suit of sack pattern; celluloid collar and
cuffs ; cuff buttons are round lever but
tons, and in design intended to repre
sent moonstone ; on his feet wo find a
pair of lace shoes about number 8 or
stockings being dark brown in color ; hat
a black soft felt hat, with medium high
crown and medium rim in width, and
the following on the inside: "Our 210
make," which hat has been considera
bly used and worn.
The appearance of the decascd would
indicate that he had been a man of mod
erate means, at least, and his social re
lations on an average with othor good
citizens; but from the meager fact6
brought to light we cannot sucgest any
thing further which would lead to a dis
covery of name, age or place of residence
of deceased. A. Laksen,
