The Guard reports that Eugene had
111 telephone subscribers Tuesday, and
that is considered a good list. The
Dalles beat them all for telephones, and
every visitor in our city compliments us
on the splendid systems we have. The

subscribers; and the Oregon company
bids fair to reach that number, as its
list is constantly increasing, And now
wo wonder how we ever got along with

M. E. Montgomery, who now resides
In Portland, is spending today in The

condition of Herzinger, who so narrowly
escaped with his life in the recent wreck,.
Mr. Montgomery Eays : "He is getting
along remarkably well for a man who
had both- legs and arms broken, as well
as his jaw. When picked up ho waB in
such a condition that he was not recog

not Hunter who had been extricated

Slow progress is being made by the
O. R. & N. wrecking crew in recovering
the battered and bruised engino which
hurled to death Engineer Robert Hunter
and Fireman Miler. Onco the engine
was hauled up almost on the track, but
the cable broke and it went down the
bank further thau before.'
The manner in which tho engine in
battered shows with what terrific force
it struck the rock ou the track. Nearly
every steel and iron fiber which held it
together seems to have been wrenched
or broken. In fact, those who saw the
engine lying there in a tangled heap of
wood, iron and steel, doubted if it would
be worth saving for scrap iron, let alone
being taken to the car shops for repairs.
The work of hauling such a mass of
steel and iron up a straight bank nearly
200 feet iB necessarily laborious. By
means of cables, worked by steam, aud
an incline built with great pains, the
greater part of the dented engine was
drawn up inch by inch. Every foot
gained seemed a big advance, Just as
the front part readied the main track
and the workmen were congratulating
themselves, the cable broke with a snap
and the mass again plunged down the
embankment. Telegram.

WAS THERE FOUL PLAY
Bach li the Opinion or Many of Jack
on'a Frlantti.
It would not be surprising to many
(particularly his neighbors in the Des
chutes neighborhood) if back of all the
conjecture concerning the strange death
of Jonathan Jackson, there are not cir
cumstances which might be brought
forth to prove that, while he may not
havo been murdered, thero were means
used to get rid of him and thus cover
up foul play, Such is tho confirmed
opinion of people who havo reason for
such a conjecture.
In the first placo it is said to be an as-
surred fact that he returned to this city
from Portland. Beside, ho had in his
possession a One gold watch, heavy
chinchilla coat, one chee'e for $400 and
another for $200; while, when tho body
was discovered, none oi theso things
were found on his person..
The report haa gained credence at
Deschutes that upon reaching this city
lie continued his epree and frequented
places of questionable reputation until
most of ids money was spent and tho
remainder, with the watch and coat,
stolen. He had oftcu asserted that ho
was going to Montana, and, it is thought
to cover up the theft, ho was given the
impression that ho was to start for that
state, and placed in a box car, where he
was found by tho trainmen later and
put off near Celilo.
What foundation thero is for such im
pression we could not learn, but certain
it is that the matter should bo ferreted
out and the true state of affairs deter
mined. If Jackson had money, it
should bo sent to his sister whom he had
been supporting, and not bo allowed to
fall into the hands of those who were
responsible for hia downfall.
From his neighbors we learn that he
was generally liked by all; a man of
good principles when drink had not
transformed him to a beast.
The remains were given respectable
burial todav.
