should not go unheeded. Certainly
this place has sullieient wealth and
population to allbrd a lire engine, and
all "necessary appliances f(Jr fighting
lire, and we believe it is the dntv of
the city council to seo that the want h
immediately supplied bv taxing the
property of the citv for the purpose
A good engine can be bought on tin
installment plan, and a two mill tax
for two or three years would pav for
it, and the taxation would hardly be
felt by property holders. The result
would hi) greallv reduced insurance
rates, anil increased value of property
in every part of the town, on account
of the feeling of greater security which
would be engendered. It is to be
hoped the council will look at thii
matter in a business like manner, and
at once, take some action in regard to
the matter.
JJun.N'ixc; or Kari.k Chuck lluiuni:.
Last Sunday the new bridge crossing
Kagle creek, on the road from this city
to Pine creek, was totally destroyed bv
fire. From parties who arrived on the
pot while the bridge was still on fire
we learn that it caught from torest
fires which were burning in close prox
unity. This we believe is the general
impression, although koine who havi
come over the road since, seem to
think it was the work of an ineendi
ary. It was a splendid structure, cost
ing almost $1,200, and a much better
bridge than is actually needed at that
place. A new bridge, sullicient for all
purposes, can probably be put in foi
three or four hundred dollars. The
commissioners had a conference here
last Wednesday, to take steps towards
putting up a new bridge, and doubt
less it will be done without delay.
I ravel over that road is not impeded
although it is rather rough fording at
that place now.
Work Si'spkniikd. Mr. Carroll
chairman oi the roan commissioners,
of this end of the Fine creek road
informs Us that work has been sus
ponded, although the road is not I'm
ished as completely as he intended to
linish it, and in several places it could
he unproved. Willis hkill, the treas
urer of the commissioner, had .$180
of road money m his possesion when
lie disappeared. 1 hat money with as
much more would have made a mag-
nuicent road from here to uoose creek.
-Messrs. Carroll and Efner deserve the
thanks of the community for the
able and faithful manner in which
they have conducted this work.
Wai.i.owa Minim. The Chieftain
say: "A. M. Hall and .1. L. Hacker
have sold their interest in the .Silver
Aerie mine to 1). McCully and K". .J.
.Martin. Work is still being pushed
m the Fine Leaf mine. It is now
down forty feet and will bo sunk sixty
feet during the summer and fall.
Work has been comiiu'nced on the
Silver Aerie and a shaft will be sunk
on it one hundred feet or more, this
fall. K. J. Martin has the contract."
Too ThanhI'Ahkxt. The linker Sage
llrush in speaking of the burning of
the Fagle creek bridge says: "This is
the bridge that was built last fall, and
its burning will make it Very bad trav
eling for wagons going iiitoPine from
Union. There Is ho use talking, Jla
kor i& the only outlet for the Pino
creek mines." Profound logic, that.

had best do. Air. Sears finally asked

Mr. Morris hired a Miss Mary Lynch, of
McMinville, to come up to lJayton mid
keep house for him and liis children. She
worked for him one year and then he mar
ried her. They were married six weeks,
and then her mysterious death came -Mav
Kith, claimed by husband, relatives anil
doctors, poison, self-administered. And
now, prool bus to be given of any evidence
whatever that .she took this poison by her
own hands, as the only bottle of poison of
any kind that was found in the house was
found locked up in the trunk where she
had put it to keep it from the children. The
trunk was locked and keys in a .econd
room from where she died, She Was so
sick that day. from some cause, that sire
was not up or about, and her husband
claims the poison was Wrapped just as he
gave it to her to ptit away. Dr. Kenedy
had beei doctoring her just previous toiler
death, said she told him and others that
she Would rather take strychnine than to
bear a child. Wc found no other person to
say that she said this, and when she was
exhumed (he surgical doctors said she was
not pregnant, and if she had said sucli it
seems like her husband vvotlld llltVe heard
her talk of such, She had the mumps and
was quite sick for a week. Washing had to
be done, and soap made, and she did both
with her iaws tied on. She never rns well
any more, but sewed up to the day of her
death, to get readj togo on a visit" to .Mc
Minville. and hud scut down to the store
the day before for samples to pick a dress
from, which shows that she did not Contem
plate self-destruction, or talked in sucli a
way as It is claimed, A lady friend Was in
about four o'clock, ahd no' other person
was With her nor 1'llltdrcn, and she was
iniite sick in bed. Iter friend stayed a .short
time and went liuuie, hut returned about
eight o'clock and asked Mrs. Morris how
she was, who replied she felt better. Mr.
Joe JI orris uhd wife were there and this
friend did not stay long. Thev' stayed
awhile longi'r1 and went to her bedside, but
us she Was asleep they did not arouse her.
Her htlshand Cave Iter !l powder before he
went to bed, (claiming it to be calomel) and
in a short time she Was mi sick he ran to
tho house of a near neighbor, ami when the
laily I'aino, she vv'as In sjiasins. Some oth
ers were there, She continued o have
spasms. Firs I laiiv's husband ran in and
said, "My Olid, what is the matter?" His
wifeaid. "Mo for Dr. Patted, or any one."
He started On the rlln and had got it's far as
the bridge, about a hundred vanN distant,
when W. A, Morris .ailed him bad:. When
Ids brother Joe caiiichu askeil him if he
shOuld'scml for Dr, Kenedy, Ho said Vcs,
She Was '.iiniligspasniH all this time. When
the doctor Came seeul to be t'oilfiised or
something .eemcd to be the matter. They
said he seemed not to del what lie might
havodone. Slie called for Water, the lady
askl'd the Anf.Uif it she should give noi
some, the doctor said yds. When she at
tempted to give her ."(01111' it brought 011
sparfms. The doctor wits asked afcaln if she
could have wtttrri He said yes. and again
she went into a spaslli. Now', this is anled,
il lib knew silt' had strychnine from the
moilient he entered the house, why did lie
say she could llarc witter instead or adiiiiu
isteiing some antidote? S e Would like In
