nhfts. Frev. brother-in law of
Geo. Armstrong of this city, will
leave todav or tomorrow on his way
to his home in New York City. It
is likely that Mr. Armstrong and
family will accompany Mr. Frey as
as far as Portland. The latter is
quite , well-to-do and every year
makes a trip to Europe, out tniB is
his first trm out West. He is the
manager of the Link Belt Engineer

carrying the mail from Philomath
to Dusty. Since harvesting oegan
his wife has been making the trip

thing satisfactorily until Monday
afternoon. Something occurred to
frighten the horse and it bolted.
Mr. Rickard and the mail were
thrown from the vehicle and the
animal nroceeded on the run to
Fern, where it stooped. Mrs
Rickard, although considerably
frichtened. escaped with a few bruis
e8 and at present is none the worse
for her experience, ine venicie
was pretty badly smashed up, one
of the axles being broken and a
wheel coming out minus several
spokes. m

line of this there is abundant evi

en to make an artificial arm for
Gene Ireland, of Monmouth. Mr.
Ireland had his arm shot off a. few
years ago and Becured an artificial
one. Recently he broke the one
he had purchased and has not been
able to find anyone competent to re
pair the damage or make another
that will prove satisfactory. In
bis trouble he consulted Dilley,
"The Fixer," and the latter has un.
dertaken the task. The arm that
Mr. Dilley is to make will be large
ly, if not wholly, according to his
own ideas and he will rig a contri
vance which will no doubt eclipse
the real thing in many ways. We
believe that Mr. Ireland will be
able to write with the arm "Thc-
Fixer" will make for him.
Leslie M. Mattoon, formerly
of this city, was burned to death
ic a fire which destroyed his
home about 4 o'clock Tuesday
morning. The details of the af
fair, as they reached Corvallis,
are substantially as given by the
Albany Herald:
Mattoon. who Uvea at tne sta
tion at Summit, and owned sev-
era! hundred acres of land aaioin-
ing the station, was for the first
time in years conducting the
farm himself the present season,
and had been .with his family
stopping at the farm home but a
short distance from tne station
during the busy season. During
the past few days "he had been
threshing. The dust irom tne
machine had irritated the de
ceased's asthma, to which he had
been subject for years, and he
was unable to sleep on account
of the noise about the farm. Mon
day evening Mr. Mattoon told
his wife he would spend the
tiicrht alone in the auiet of thsir
home at the station, trusting that
he might secure a good rest after
the hard work of the day. JNotn-
ing more is known definitely, ex
cept that about four o'clock yes
terdav morniher the Mattoon
home at the station was discover
ed in flames. The house was a
mass of flames and it was impos
sible to effect an entrance. Af
terward the charred remains of
Mr. Mattoon were found in the
ruins of the burned building.
It is presumed that Mr. Mat
toon was treating himself for asth
thma, the medicine requiring the
application of heat. It is possi
ble that Mr. Mattoon was in tne
act of lighting: a lamp, or heat
ing the mediciue, when he was
overcome by an attack ot tne ai
sease and dropped the light, set
ting fire to the building.
The unfortunate man almost
met his death in a fire fourteen
years ago. He was station agent
on the Great Northern railroad
in Montana, and was in a burn
ing building when the ropf caved
in, escaping with dificulty with a
number of bad burns, the scars
of which he carried during life:
He was a member of. the Odd
Fellows lodge at Yaquina, and
his hndv was interred in the city
cemetery at Albany by the lodge
of that city.
Mr. Mattoon leaves a father,
wife and young son.
