CRUSHED BY FALLING LOG
A. W. Williams Receives Fatal Injuries
While Loading Cars at
Black Rock.
A. W. Williams, foreman of one of
the loading crewa in the logging camp
above Black Rock, was fatally crushed
by a falling log, Friday afternoon at
2 :30 o'clock, and died from the effects
of bis injuries at 2 :30 o'clock Saturday
morning.
The accident happened while logs
were being loaded on the cars for
shipment to Dallas. A large log
rolled off the car on the opposite side
from which the loading was being
done, and Williams, who was assisting
In the work, undertook the task of
hoisting it back onto the car. Raising
one end of the log a few feet above the
ground, he placed a railroad tie on
end underneath it to prop it up, and
then crawled under the log to shift the
hoisting line. While so engaged, the
log slipped off the end of the tie and
fell with a fearful crash, rolling
almost the length of Williams' body
before coming to a stop. The un
fortunate man was quickly rescued
from his perilous position, but was
found to be seriously hurt. He was
placed on the train and brought to
Dallas at once, where every possible
attention was given him, but .his
Injuries were of such a serious nature
that surgical skill was of no avail and
death followed a few hours later.
Williams' home was at 683 Missouri
Avenue, Portland, where his wife
and two children, a son and a
daughter, reside. He had been
employed in the logging camps at
Black Rock for about 18 months, and
was considered one of the best all
round workmen in the camp. . He was
agreeable, honest and. industrious,
and was well liked by his fellow work
men. General Superintendent T. B.
Masters, of the Willamette Valley
Lumber Company's camp, says that
although Williams evidently feared
no danger and was inclined to be care
less at timea, he wa9 a highly capable
and conscientious workman and one
whose place will be hard to fill. His
death is greatly regretted by every
man in the camp. He was 31 years
old, and a member of Falls City camp,
Woodmen of the World, in which
order he carried $2003 Insurance.
Superintendent Masters and Hon.
W. L. Tooze, representing the Falls
City Woodman camp, accompanied
the remains to Portland, Sunday
morning. The funeral was held in
the afternoon and burial took place
In Rlvervlew cemetery. Members of
the drill team from Prospect Camp
acted as pallbearers, and the seivioes
were conducted by the officers of Mult
nomah camp, who kindly performed
the sad task at the request of the Falls
City brethren. .
The sympathy of a large number of
Polk county people who were friends
of the unfortunate man is extended to
the bereaved family in Portland.
FARMER COMMITS SUICIDE
MOHAIR BRINGS 20 CENTS
Polk County Pool of 50,000 Pounds
Sold to U. S. Grant, of
Dallas.
The mohair pool of the Polk County
Mohair Association was sold Saturday
afternoon to U. S. Grant, a prominent
'goat breeder of this city, his bid being
20 cents a pound, net.
A business meeting of the associ
ation was called at 10:30 Saturday
morning and the following sales com
mittee was appointed : G. W. McBee
and H. L. Fenton, of Dallas ; George
Richmond, of Perrydale; 0. C. Gard
ner, of Bridgeport, and J. B. Trul
llnger, of Sheridan.
At 1 :30 o'clock p. m., the association
re-assembled for the sale of the pool.
Immediately when the bidding was
opened, William Brown, a Salem
dealer, who has for several years
attended the annual sale and made
bids, requested to be informed exactly
the amount' of mohair in the pool.
This Mr. Fenton, the seoretary of the
association, . explained could not be
done, since he had been unable, to get
returns on the amount of mohair
turned in to the agents of the associ
ation at Amity, Airlie and Kings
Valley. However, he estimated that
the pool amounted to at least 60,000
pounds.
Mr. Brown refused to bid without
knowing the exact amount of the pool,
and Mr. Grant opened the bidding at
20 cents. Mr. Brown immediately
offered 201 cents provided tbat the
pool could be guaranteed not to exceed
10,000 pounds, but his bid was
rejected, since it would be impossible
to sell only a portion of the mohair
and leave other members of the associ
ation with their mohair still on their
hands.
No other bid being offered, Mr.
Grant's bid was considered by the
sales committee, and finally accepted
with the revision tbat it should be 20
cents per pound net, Mr. Grant to pay
the extra expenses of weighing in,
baling and shipment. The association
also guaranteed tbat the owners of
each lot of hair would be responsible
for any loss of weight due to the dry
ing of mohair that had been sacked
damp.
H. L Fenton will aot as Mr. Grant's
agent and will attend to the weighing
in and delivering of the various lots
of mohair. tXhe dates on which he
will be prepared to receive mohair at
the various stations in Folk County
will be as follows : April 28 and 29,
Dallas ; April 30, Monmouth ; May 1,
Airlie; May 2, Dallas: May 4, Sheri
dan ; May S, MoCoy and Amity.
William Burdine Swallows Carbolic
Acid and Dies Almost Instantly
William Burdine, manager of the
T. B. Taylor hop yard near Buena
Vista, committed suicide Saturday
evening by swallowing carbolic acid.
He was In Independence during the
greater part of that day, on business,
and returned home shortly after six
o'clock In the evening, apparently in
his usual cheerful mood. In a short
time, however, he went into bis wood
shed where he drank the contents of a
small bottle of carbolic acid which be
had borrowed from one of his neigh
bors while on his way home. He suc
ceeded in returning to the bouse after
having swallowed the fatal drug, but
died within 15 minutes.
Mr. Burdine was bora Id Oregon
City in 1880 where he resided until
four years ago, when he was married
and moved to Buena Vista to take
charge of Mr. Taylor' bop yard. In
his business dealings and social life,
he waa held in high esteem by all who
knew him. and the motives for his
sudden and unexpected suicide are a
complete mystery.
The remains were taken to Oregon
City, 8unday for burial. He Is sur
vived by his wife and little daughter,
and by bis parent and other relatives
In Oregon City.

Will Visit Old Home.
Peter McNeill left Monday morning
for his old home in Wisconsin fdf an
extended visit among relatives and
friends. Mr. McNeill came to Oregon
eight years ago and filed on a home
stead In the famous SUeta timber
basin, where he resided continuously
until the time of making his final
proof. He then spent bis winters in
and around Dallas, and in the summer
months was employed as a Flie
Wardon by the Gerlinger-Spauldlng-Pittock
interests in patrolling their
large timber tract in the mountains of
western Polk oounty. A few days
ago, he disposed of bis homestead for
$10,600, and he now proposes to take
life easy for awhile. He is too ener
getio and industrious to remain long
idle, however, and his many friends
predict that he will soon return toOre
gon to engage In active business pur
suits. Many residents of Dallas who
were old-time friends and neighbors of
Mr. McNeill in Wisconsin venture the
guess that he will not remain away
from Oregon more than three months,
and some of them predict that they
will have the pleasure of welcoming
him back inside of sixty days. All
join in wishing him a pleasant trip
and a safe return.

Daring Burglars
Foiled!
The residences of several of our best citizens were
attacked by a band of blacklegs now infesting this
city, in the shape of Flies, Mosquitos, Gnats, Bugs
and Worms. But we are pleased to state that the
blood-thirsty villains were foiled at every house
where we have sold Wheeler screens -the only real
Scientific Screen.
These Screens are really "burglar-proof," for they
are the only Locking Screen; a burglar would have'
to cut the wire which would waken any one! Peo
ple who sleep on first floors appreciate them.
Ten-Day Free Trial
On any or every window you wish to screen. No
matter what you thought to buy, or what you
thought to pay, first use the Wheeler ten days free,
and learn all" that a Screen must do to satisfy year
after year.
Off thev come after the trial if thev fail in anv wav.
