Mr. 8. B. Adams claims that he was

large arm chair nnder a big Enowball

hand a enowball and in the other bis
new cane, and had his picture taken to
present to each of the school marms.
The likeness was perfect, and they are
much appreciated by the teachers.
Everyone was delighted when the rain

trom the eky, she said. "Is God running
his bicycle?" This is a new interpreta

During the day .40 of an inch of rain fell

A Cariosity.
J.E. Adcox, head watchmaksr'for our
popular jeweler, Harry C. L'oe, has, in
anticipation of the formation of a watch
trust by the watch ni.--r;nfacturers
throughout the country, taken the
initiative by making a watch composed
of parts of all the watches mannfuctured
in this country, including some of the
parts. of foreign make.. Following is a
list of pnrts : The plates are that of an
18-size three-fourth plate Waterbury;
Seth Thomas balance cock; 16 -size
Elgin balance; Aurora balance staff and
roler; Waltham pallits and fork; How
ard hair spring and collet; Rock ford es
cape wheel and roler jewel; Hampden
pallet etones ; Columbus cock and foot
jewels; . Swiea -pallet bridge. .-Other
jewels are assorted, and the wheels and
pinions are a mixture. He has the thp
plate highly ornamented with silver and
flaming jewels and bearing this inscrip
tion, the first . mentioned bearing the
name: "lhe Irust capital, fo8,800,000.
Patented May, 1899. No. 1, 21 jewels."
. The watch is an excellent time piece,
being so finely adjusted that its varia
tions are b'ut little more than one sec
ond per day.
Mr. Adcox doesn't know just how
much time he expended on the watch as
he had to do the work at odd moments
when the "boss" was out. He eavs that
iteeems to kim . that Harry has bad
mighty littlo businees out of late as he
could seldom put in more than half an
hour per day on his watch. Some days
could not even take it from its hiding
place.

SKULL. LITERALLY CUT OFF.
Switchman J. C. Bradley Meets
rlble Death This Morning.
a Ter-
Although more accidents have ccsurred
on the railway here during the past year
than for years previous, the most dread
ful, perhaps, is that which happened
at 6:30 o'clock this morning in the
yards, when John C. Bradley, a ewitch
man for the O. R. & N., was . mutilated
in a terrible manner, losing his life in
stant v.
It seems from the evidence given that
the switch train was just a short dis
tance west of the depot and had a car to
"kick" in on the side track. Bradley
stepped down between the cirs to un
couple them, and must .in some way
have been thrown down. No one saw
just how the accident happened, but,
thinking the train wa3 going fast enough,
the yard master gave the signal to stop.
The car gave such a jump that it almoet
seemed they bad got into a ditch. Jut t
ae it stopped it was discovered Out
Bradley was under the train.
Going to where he lay, they -beheld
kn awful sight. He lay directly across
the track, his feet across the north rail,
and his head, or what was left of it, just
inside the south rail. . Evidently he had
fallen in some way and was dragged a
short distance,: when his head struck
the break rail and the top was literally
cut off, a large portion of his brains
lying about five feet from the track ; bis
left arm was all shattered and torn, and
his right leg at the ankle was mashed
and stripped of the skin. It was a eight
that the men who witnessed will never
forget. . The body was taken to. the un
dertaking parlors of Wm. Michel, where
an inquest was held, with the following
verdict:
: We the jury summoned by W. H.
Buns, coroner of Wasco county, state of
Oregon, to inquire into the cause of the
death of the body now before us, from
an examination of the body of the de
ceased, and from the testiinony pro
duced before us, and after due and care
ful consideration and deliberation find
the following facts : .
That the deceased was John Charles
Bradley, a single man, age about 31
years, whose occupation was a switch
man in theO. R. & N. Co. yards at The
Dalles, Oregon, and that he came to his
death at the hour of 6:35 o'clock a. m.
on the first day of June, 1899, in said
railroad yards, while performing his
duties as such switchman; that said
death was caused by being run over by
part of the train upon which he was
working while attempting to uncouple a
car or said cars from said ' train. That
from the evidence-and circumstances
surrounding said death, said death was
caused by accident, and that no person
or persons are to blame therefor.

Dalles City, Oregon, June 1, 1899.
Bradley was an nnmarried man of
31 years, and had worked here several
months during the fall, going East some
time in January. He returned recently,
and commenced work as switchman last
Sunday. His home was in Philadelphia,
where be is said to have two sisters
living. All witnesses who knew him
spoke in the best of terms of bis char
acter at the it qnpft this morning.
The funeral will he held from the
Methodist church tomorrow afternoon
at' 2 o cloi-k. A 1 are invited to be
present and give the poor unfortunate
man sncli a burial as we would want a
friend to have under the same circum
stances.
. A. K. Express Thetr Appreciation-.
The Dalles, May 31, 1899. We the
members of Jas. W. Nesmith Post, G.
A. R., wish to express our sincere
thanks for the noble manner in which
the citizens of The Dalles and vicinity
aided in carrying out the exercises of
Memorial Day. Especially we wish to
thank the Rev. J. Deforest for his most
appropriate and instructive memorial
sermon on the evening of the 23th, the
Rev Puling for his eloquent address on
the evening of the 30th, The Dalles
Commercial club band, and the choir of
singers for their great kindness and
material assistance. We are deeply in
debted to Mr. Gourly and Rev. Wood for
their aid in the exercises, and a! bo to
Mr. Cates for sprinkling the streets on
the route of the procession. To Capt. G.
E. Bartell and the officers and men of
Co. "D" Third Regt. O. N. G., we are
especially indebted for the hearty and
eoldier-like manner in which they
carried out their part of the exercises ;
we wish to say that the three volleys in
the salute at the cemetery was the best
ever fired there, and. would have done
credit to any squad of regulars, the
officers and men of the firing party de
serving great credit for their actions.
Capt. Bartell ought to bis proud of bis
company of young soldiers, and the
company of its officers.. We are of both.
Long may you live and wear the blue.
. Last,-but not least, we express our
deepest gratitude to the ladies of the W
R. C. for their labors in furnishing
flowers and everything for the. oceasion,
not forgetting the boontifnl supply and
suburb quality of the baked beans,
coCee and hardtack with which we were
regaled after returning from the ceme
tery. The generous way in which these
viands were sampled by our friend's of
the O. N. G. was equally a proof of the
skill of the ladies, and the capacity and
soldierly qualities of the militia.
Good friends, one and all, we thank
you. -
