Sigrist Passes Away After Moonshine Party Vomiting Probably Saves Lives of Two. FURTHER ANALYSIS, OF BOOZE WILL BE MADE Inquest Held Last Night -Dead Man Prominent in . Fraternal Orders , That J. C. Sigrist, former Ore gon Electric brakeman who as found dead yesterday morning in the office of the Capital Ice Ac Cold Storage company following a moonshine liquor party, in which Frank Wlnalow of Polk county and Joe Formick of Sa lem also engaged, reached hi3 death through unknown reasons but presumably through indul gence in intoxicating liquor, was the verdict reached, by the coro ner's jury last night following an quest which was held at the Rigdon undertaking establish ment. Tried t Resell. Liquor According to testimony given by Joe Formick, night engineer at the Capital Ice & cold Storage company, he purchased a gallon of liquor last Wednesday night from a man whom he met at a local pool hall about 9:30 p. m. He sampled the liquor, he claimed, but did not like its taste and Thursday offered to resell it to Frank Winslow, who asked him to leave it at the of fice of the ice and storage com pany. About 12:05 a. m., For mick alleged, Wtnalew accom- nanied br Slerist dropped into the office1 and all three of them partook of the moonshine. From- 12:28 until 6:10 the next morn- inr Formick stated, he could not remember . what happened. He was able to tell the time -ex actly by a punch clock at .the plant. Upon awakening however he remembered that Sigrist was due to catch the 7:15 Oregon Electric. Sigrist Found .iVad Sigrist, he said, was sitting in chair apparently asleep. Upon shaking him he found to his hor ror that he was dead. The po lice were called and after that Formick went to his room. He said he could not give the name of the man who had sold him the liquor. Dr! Prince Byrd of the state hospital testified that he had ex amined the liquor and that it contained approximately 54 per cent alcohol which Is 9 per cent more than ordinary commercial whiskey- contains. Ordinary ah cohol he said was. known as ethyl alcohol but that this "par ticular type was a grade known as methyl alcohol which pro duced much more serious effects. Five teaspoons of this grade he testified could produce blindnes3 while this gallon contained about 18 teaspoonsful. It was his belief he said that the man had died from acute alcoholism. No Other Ailment Found Dr. William B. Mott who per formed, an autopsy said that the man apparently was suffering from no other .affliction but that the resistance, powers 01 men varied, so that it was quite pos sible that the gas formed by the alcohol could have proved more than Sigrist could withstand. No examination of the stomach had been made up to a late hour last night so that an analysis of the contents was not forthcom ing. 1 Harry A. Marison. Oregon Electric trainman who: testified last night, stated that he had known Sigrist for several weeks but that he had always appar ently been In the best of health.- E. R. Schultx of Portland, trav eling freight., and passenger agent for vthe Oregon Electric, when interviewed by reporters yesterday, said, however, that Sigrist had been a . victim ot stomach' trouble for some time and that he had frequently ex perienced difficulty In breathing v Vomiting Saves Two Joe Formick and Frank Wins- low who participated in Friday morning's liquor party, were able to throw off the poisonous li quor through ' vomiting, y They both said they bad: partaken 01 but a small amount of, the moon shine while Sigrist emptied the greater part of. the gallon jar which authorities believe is the only thing that -prevented them from suffering a fate similar to that which befell Sigr'jst.

M ANY SALEM i FOLKS GOING TO SEE GAME Indications Point to Deserted Village Here Today Corvallis is Mecca If 'there is anybody with sport inr Oregon blood in his veins lett in Salem today during the O. A. C. Oregon game at Corvallis, it will be mostly becau3 he has a broken leg or the car wouldn't start or wifey set her foot down and absolutely said "No:" And even any of these are like ly to have at least ofte ear glued to the telephone about 5 o'clock, or maybe as early as .4. It is doubtful if there has ever been so large a delegation of Sal em lies to attend any out-of-town football classic as will go to day. The two 0 0 tie games played during the past two yefcrs have roused the Interest to fever heat, wondering who'll get tho break when it comes.

F Investigation of Sale to Am erican Firm by Same Name Investigated . WASHINGTON, Nov. 17, Further investigation will be made of the sale by a former alien property custodian of tbe assets of the old Bosch Megneto company to an American firm ot the same name, It was stated officially .today, after the filing of a federal , grand Jury report declaring that . evidence of conspiracy bad been found in the transaction. The grand jury re port added, however that on ad vice of counsel "for the govern ment the local inquiry had been concluded, since there was noth ing to indicate that the alleged overt act had been consummated in the District of Columbia. Dissolution of the American Bosch Megneto company, pur chaser of the patents and other assets of the original corpora tion, was sou gat by Alberta Klein, a stockholder in a suit filed at White Plains, N. Y., on November 1. Klein claimed $2,- 000.000 in damages, naming A Mitchell. Palmer, who was cus todian at the time of the sale and Arthur T. Murray, then pres ident and Martin E. Kern, treas urer of the Bethlehem Motor company. The complaint aserted that the price accepted by Mr Palmer for the Bosch assets was less than one-quarter of their real value. Officials here de clared today that the White Plains suit was separate and dis tinct from the activity on tbe part of the government. It was learned, however, that close attention is being paid to the progress of the lUlngatlon brought by Klein. FOOTBALL RESULTS North Central 14, Gonzaga high 9. Wenatchee 0, Bellingham 13.

OVER THREE HUNDRED EXHIBITORS COMPETE Wilson and Sons of Sheridan Have Remarkable Show ing of Potatoes By CHARLES J. LISLE. The corn ehow at Independence Friday and Saturday of this week is one of the big agricultural events of the Willamette valley. j The first comers to the Oregon 1 country nsed to believe, almost boast, that they couldn't raise fruit or corn in this country. It was. too wet, too cold, too what ever the apologist thought at the minute, to raise corn or fruit. Some of them died as grandfath ers n6t knowing much if any bet ter, dreaming ot Old Mizzoury and Ioway and the tall corns of the sultry central states. independence Does It If some of these old timers were to see this . Independence corn show they would prick, up thefr ears Hike chipmunks and think that they had been trans planted straight to the corn , heav en of their dreams, for they never saw such , corn, even in Ioway or.Mlzobry, and It actually never grew anywhere, outside of dreams: except In and around In dependence.. Independence has made a feat ure of this corn show for the past several years. Last year the citi zens thought they had something really good, with 129 exhibitors, but this year they have 342 ex hibitors, showing with them al most three times as many. It has been stated by good agricultural authorities that better corn has been grown in tht Willamette val ley this year than any other sea son for many years past. The Independence farmers have tried to be grateful by holding their harvest home festival in a bigger way than ever, before. All Citizens Cooperate - The show is staged by the In dependence Retail Merchants as sociation. Paul Carpenter, Polk county agent, is one of the mov ing spirits in making it a success, though the local committee, A. E. Horton, A. L. Keency and W. H. Cockle, carried much of the load of preparation. Tney had the finest possible coOperatios from the farmers tributary to In dependence, as. la evidenced by he "exceptiona,l number ofj exhibitors- The very largest varieties of late field corn have not matured well, even this exceptional year. Some of tbe biggest dent corn is still a bit soft. But the flint corns, the sweet corns, the pop corns, have fairly outdone them selves. The Minnesota No. 13, an early yellow dent, hardy and al most frost-proof, developed back in Minnesota and now spreading altiover the corn world as the greatest of them all, has repro duced 'wonderfully in the valley tbJRyear. It could hardly be sur parsed'.;, back in .Its original home The8 flint or 'Yankee" corns have done remarkably well. These eight and ten-rowed ears are shown up to 15 Inches In length, remarkably sound and perfect, and of evident heavy yield. Popcorn of all Kinds Popdprns of several varieties are snown, wnite, yellow, no- color and red. A fine display of sweet corn in the ear Is also made. The sweet corn looks much like a Rambouillot or Merino sheep the observer doesn't realize the value of the folded, wrinkly ap pearance, until he sees what's un der the outside. An incredible display of corn cookery is shown. Corn cakes. corn bread, corn muffins, Indian pudding, hominy, canned and dried corn, corn cookies. Boston brown bread, and . almost every thing that the intuition of the prize cook could imagine, is there. The United States tried to send corn to the European countries during tbe war for food. They couldn't see it-, even as a life saver. Where the govern ment fell down was in its falling to send some of the?e Independ ence corn-baking women to the Old World. They'd have had even the kings and the qneens eating out of their hands, and hollerine (Continued on page 3.). MISS JOHNSON IS UNABLE TO ATTEND GAME Injured Salem Girl at O. A.
