USEFUL LIFE ENDED
Mrs. Harriett Shreve, Pioneer Real,
dent of Polk County, Dies of
Paralysis.
Mrs. Harriet Shreve, one of Dallas'
honored pioneer women, died at her
home Tuesday afternoon,. January 1,
1907, aged 77 years. Her death was
caused by paralysis.
Mrs, Shreve'a maiden name was
Harrriet Livermore. She was born
near Marietta, Ohio, on September 12,
1829. She crossed the plains to Ore
gon with her parents in 1851 and
lived with them on a farm seven miles
north of Dallas until June 10, 1852,
when she was married to Asa Shreve.
Mr. and Mrs. Shrove began house
keeping on a farm near Smithfield.
They moved to Dallas In 1858 and
resided here for many years. They
afterwards moved to a farm near
Oakdale, but returned to Dallas after
a few years.
Mrs. Shreve was a woman of many
noble qualities. Her chief interest
was centered in her home and family,
but she was ever kind to the needy
and distressed and was greatly be
loved by . all hor neighbors and
acquaintances. She united with the
Christian church In her 16th year and
remained a faithful member during
her long and useful life. In her
death, another one of Oregon's good
old pioneer mothers has gone to her
reward.
Three sons and three daughters are
loft to mourn their loss. The children
are : Lot L. Shreve, of Condon ; A. L.
Shreve, of Stayton ; H. W. Shreve and
Mrs. Charles Jacobson, of Portland;
Mrs. A. B. Muir and Miss Katherlne
Shreve, of Dallas.
The funeral was held from the resi
dence yesterday afternoon and was
largely attended by friends and old
time neighbors of the family. Burial
took place In the Odd Fellows'
cemetery.
DALLAS WALLOPS PORTLAND
College Basketball Teams Detents
Crack Y. M. C. A. Team By
Score of 36 to 3.
Nearly 600 people saw the Dallas
College basketball team defeat the
Portland All-Stars by a score of 36 to
3 in the local gymnasium, Friday
night Although the result would in
dicate a one-sided game, the playing
was fast from start to finish and
Dallas worked for every goal, win
ning by superior team work and
basket throwing. Portland was simply
outplayed at every point.
Shaw at center played against and
shut out three Portland men and threw
four goals. Craven played their
crack Tacorna guard to a standstill,
getting seven baskets. Launer threw
four field goals and four fouls, and
Arnold, guard, threw one. Portland
got only one field goal, and that on an
error by Referee Cates. Savery, the
new guard, proved himself a fast
player, and the general opinion is
that Dallas has a pennant-winning
team again this year.

Runaway Accident.
A serious runaway accident occurred
in Dallas at 10 o'clock last Saturday
night. Prof. Fred Crowley, principal
of the Falls City public school, and
Miss Nettie Gibson, of Rlckreall, had
attended the basketball game and

frightened and started to run. Pearl

made a heroio effort to atop the run
away, but was thrown against the
wall and badly bruised. The horseB
dashed across Muin street and, in
making a short turn in front of Kers
lake's furniture store, overturned the
buggy and threw the occupants to the
ground. Professor Crowley was
knocked senseless, three of his teeth
were broken out, and he was otherwise
severely Injured. Miss Gibson was
