Killed by S. P. Train.
Thd Southern Pacific passen
ger train, leaving Portland Tues
day morning ran into and killed
Mrs. Nettie Nailes, near her
home one-fourth mile west of
Carlton, a small station seven
miles north of McMinnville.
The accident occurred about
9:45 a. in., and the unfortunate
woman died from the effects of
her injuries a short time after
ward. When first noticed by Engi
neer Joseph Kehoe, from his seat
in ths cab, she was standing by
a (team that had been stopped in
the middle of the wagon road,
which parallels the railroad at
that point. She was talking
to her brother, when she sud
denly started to return to her
home just across the track. At
that moment the train was
not more than 21 or 30 feet
away from her.
Unmindful of
its approach, she darted onto the
track in time to be struck by
the pilot of the engine and
hurled to one side. When
pieked up, she showed no signs
of the contusion, and was still
breathing. She was at onoe re
moved to her home, toward
which she had been running
when the accident happened.
The movements of the woman
were so quick and unexpected
that Engineer Kehoe had no
time to stop his train, and was
only able to shut off steam and
reach for the air lever, and no
blame is attached to him for the
fatality. The inquest was held
at Carlton Wednesday morning
and was attended by Engineer
Kehoe, Conductor M. C. Web
ster and other members of the
train crew.

Two remonstrances were pre
sented to the council, against
certain lateral sewers, and they
were laid on the table.
Bills, amounting to $469 on
the general fund and $112 On
the street fund, were allowed.
A motion to the effect that

An Incident.
Three Corvallis gentlemen, the
only clue to whose identity we have
has been given in their surnames,
rode over Jto Albany on their
bicycles Sunday afternoon, while in
search of the big prune orchard.
While straying around, the city,
they wandered aimlessly into the
telegraph office, of which conven
iences Albany has but one, and one
of their number, whom we shall
know as Farmer, being an operate,
sent the tollowing message to Cor
vallis: "Tom Monteith. Bring
conveyance to Albany. Barnhart
and Cronise are unable to get
home. Honest John."
Business would not permit Mr.
Monteith to go to Albany in person,
but he rushed to the Brick Stable
and ordered the fastest and safest
team sent post-haste. The gentle
men for whose benefit the outfit
had been ordered, were uncon
scious "of the solicitude for their
welfare, and knew nothing of the
I Tig having been ordered. After see
ing me signis mey mounted ineir
wheels and started homeward.
When three or four miles out of
Albany, the party met the carriage
which had been dispatched to their
assistance. Later, when the trio
met Tom in Corvallis, explanations
were demanded on both sides.
Barnhart and Cronise resented the
insinuation that they were not able
to go ten miles from home, without
having to be brought home in an
ambulence, and Monteith produced
the telegram as evidence of his
good intentions. Mr. Farmer plead
guilty, and promised to settle the
livery bill, and hostilities were sus
pended. County Court.
