Coroner's Inquest.
The Dalles, Sept. 27, 1897.
The undersigned, impaneled by W. H.
Butts, coroner of Wasco county, Oregon,
as a jury to inquire into the cause of the
death of one Charles W. Johnston,
whose body is now before us, having
heard the testimony of the witnesses
sworn by said coroner, find as follows :
That the deceased came to his death
on Sept. 27, 1897, at about the hour of
12:30, while in charge of the O. R. & N.
train No. 24, bound east, and at the
time of his death was engineer, and in
charge of the locomotive pulling said
train ; that the place of the accident
was near the John Day section house,
located on the O. R. & N. Co. 'a line,
about thirty-seven miles east of The
Dalles, Or.
We further find from the evidence
that the cause of the accident was the
derailing of the engine by sand accumu
lating on the track, and thereby throw
ing the engine from the rails, the engine
immediately after such derailment cap
sizing and crushing the deceased be
neath it.

THE ROBBERS CAUGHT.
As l'snal, a Woman's Cariosity Gets in
It Deadly Work.
Died ITrom Sis Injuries.
Word reached here this morning that
William Hockman, the fireman so badly
hurt in the wreck at the John Day yes
terday morning, died at the hospital in
Portland at an -early hour thia morning.
Deceased was well known here, and was
liked by all who knew him. He was a
member of Friendship lodge, K. of P.,
and we understand the body will be
brought here today for interment. .His
brother, J. D. Hockman. of this city,
was at his bedside when the end came.
Taxpayers, Attention.
Therobbers who held np the O. R. &
N. passenger Saturday night were caught
Monday in Portland through the curi
osity and intuition of a woman, Mrs.
James R. Hamilton, at whose house
the men lodged.
They bad been rooming in the bouse a
day or two when Mrs. Hamilton, in
moving the bed, discovered a box under
it, with the caution mark, "dangerous,
handle with care" on it. This, of course,
excited her curiosity and examining the
box she found it contained what she
supposed to' be dynamite. Then, of
course, she looked further and in one of
the bureau drawers found two new re
peating shotguns done up in paper and
two big revolvers.
When the robbery occurred, she at
once connected these men with it, and
giving the information to the detectives,
the men were arrested. Then it was
found that they had hired a one-horse
rig at a livery stable the night of the
robbery, taking it out at 5 o'clock in
the evening and returning at 11. In the
buggy was found a purse containing a $5
gold piece, and engineer Evans identi
fied the purse as being the one taken
from him by the robbers.
There is no doubt but that the right
men have been caught, and Mrs. Hamil
ton will get the $250 reward offered by
the O. R. & N. for the arrest and con
viction of the robbers.
If there is a lodger in Portland now
who has anything he desires kept sec
ret, he bad better get a move on and
hide it, for there will bo an overhauling
of lodgers property in the next few days
that will make a spring house cleaning
ashamed of itself.
A CLASS IN GEOLOGY.
Its
Study Conducive to tbe
Happiness and Joy.
Parents'
Miss Hill, who haB charge of tbe class
in geology, had her pupils out Friday
afternoon, examining into the condition
and quality of the earth's epidermis in
this vicinity.
Geology is, no donbt, a very interest
ing study, but it is cruelty to the old
folks to have the youngsters come home
at night and ask unanswerable questions
about plagioclase and orthoclaae rocks
triclinic feldspar, and run a string of
queries off their tongues into one's ears
concerning the .difference between gran
ite, syenite and gneiss. Between por
phyry and quartzite; serpentine and
olivine, and all that sort of thing. And
then to go to inquiring of tbe old man,
jnet as though he had personal recollec
tion of those days, about the laurentian
rocks, the carboniferous epoch and how
the icthyosaurus and the pterodactyl
looked, and how coal beds were formed,
and bow the pleBiosaurus and the
megatherium lived, and how their re
mains came to be preserved - among tbe
sedimentary rocks.
And then when this branch of the
subject makes the old man wonder how
he managed to live in such a state of
ignorance, to branch the subject off into
dynamic geology and make a few in
quiries concerning the crinkling ot the
earth's surface along the lines of least
resistance, the creation of mountain
chains thereby, tbe cause of volcanoes,
subsidence of the land, or elevation
thereof until tbe sea beaches are found
far inland. And among all these things
fire in a few questions about agate,
jasper, opal, chert, Lydian stone, chal
cedony, carnelian and all the varieties of
colloid or cryptocrystalline quartz, and
want to know what porpbyritic and
amygdaloidal mean.
It's all nice for the old man as be feels
his way carefully along through the
pleasant paths of the science from the
old Devonan sandstones up to the basalts
and clinkstones, wondering al the time
how much the measly kid knows, and
trembling in his boots all the time until
with a smile, like a saurian and eyes as
bright as opals, tbe bifurcated interro
gation point asks if he can't go and play
awhile and have two-bits to assist in the
game. He is allowed to go with a
hearty God-speed, and the onliest
quarter.
Geology is a nice thing, and we aox-
iously await the day when our son and
heir will know more about tbe .uatter
than his dad, which should occur some
time this month.
More or tbe Wreck.
This is my last and final call to you,
as the county court has issued an im
perative order.
By virtue of a warrant to me directed,
issued, by the clerk of the county court
of the state of Oregon for the- county of
Wasco, commanding me to collect the
delinquent, county, state and other
taxes, I will, on the 1st day of October,
1897, without further notice, levy upon
and sell all property upon which taxes
remain unpaid. T. J. Driver,
Sheriff.
Attempts tbe Impossible.
From Mr. G. M. Ballard, who was one
of tbe brakemen on the freight train
wrecked near the John Day yesterday
morning, we learn that Engineer Johns
ton was not killed outright but lived
for perhaps an hour or more. When the
wreck occurred Bullard hastened to the
engine and found Johnston first. Seeing
nothing could be done for him, and
hearing Hackman groaning he went to
his assistance, but finding he was
fastened in the wreck in such a manner
that he could not get him out he re
turned to Johnston. The latter on his
approach asked him who he was, and
receiving a reply said, "Where is Billy?"
"Go and help Billy ; you can do nothing
for me."
Some one had started a fire to get
light and Bollard wanted to carry Johns
ton out to it, but at bis request placed
him on the ground. He tried to tell
Bullard something about his breast be
ing hurt, but could not make himself
understood and in less than five minutes
from that time' expired. Johnston's
right leg was cut off near the ankle ; the
left arm was severed and the left leg
was a pulp from tbe ankle half way to
the knee. Besides tbis there were two
Last night about 3 o'clock as the
editor of the Times-Mountaineer was
coming down town from his home, smil
ing inwardly as he thought of the big
crops and consequent growing subscrip
tion list and increased advertising ; as
he thus communed with himself and ap
plied a gentle suction to a two-for-a-quarter
cigar, he was suddenly aroused
from his reverie as he passed the Pease
& Mavs implement warehouse, on tbe
corner of Second and Laughlin, by a
big fellow, who had evidently been
leaning against the building, sud
denly lurching forward and grabbing
him by the collar, at the same
time saying "Hold on !" Donthit didn't
"hold on" worth a cent, but on the con
trary, let go with his right, catching the
disturber of his dreams in the neck and
knocking him off the sidewalk. Then
the editor took up the broken thread of
bis dream and perambulated his peri
grinalions down to his sanctum.
The roan was evidently a stranger or
drunk, else why should be attempt to
rob an editor? Most of us would gladly
give an expert pickpocket or highway
man an opportunity to go through our
pockets, and divide if anything was
found.
