Crcssy the well known conductor on the I & M Motor Railway met with a fatal accident in Monmouth Saturday afternoon Conductor Creny was engaged in setting out some cars at Mon mouth. In front of the Monmouth post office h wss caught under the wheels and the left foot end 'e? badly mashed and t( left arm broken. No one eaw the accident at the exact time though Mies Mul k-v. IV. Crowley and Charlie Ibfl ui traded hv the screams saw the helplos victim under the train i in in ediatelv after the accident The supposition is Conductor Cres v attempted to cateh on to the ladder of the moving box to ascend it and tailing was taught by the wheels Dr. Cowley came to the poatrate man's assistance and bandaeed his leg no as t avoid immediate death. He was brought' by Engineer Jack Wilson to his home in In dependence and after consulting with Dr. Butler and the I & M authorities, permission was obtain ed to run over the S. P. to a Portland hospital. The trip was made in a special motor but just as it reached Portland the veteran conductor expired.' H. Hirschbere. of the I. & M. did everything in his power to save the life of the victim of the accident and looked after the details of the burial. s Conductor Cressy will be greatly missed in thiB com munity. He was well known and a very popular railroad man. The funeral services are being conducted by Rev. E. J. Thompson in the Auditorium this afternoon. W. G. Cressy was born in Brad ford. New Hampshire, November I, 1836 and therefore would have been sixty-nine years old had he lived till November of this year. He began railroading at the age of seventeen and with the exception of a few years followed his chosen calling since that time. His long est service with one road was with the Concord & Clairmont of which he was conductor fourteen years. At the time of the Chicago fire he was conductor on the Chicago 2 Rock Island road and was the first to take a train out of the city and brought in the first car load of pro visions after the fire. In 1873 Mr. Cressy was yard master at Omaha and from there w.nt in Saeramento Valley where Pf-ifl train running from Cor- vallis to Portland. When the Oregon Pacific, now the Corvallis &. Eastern railroad was built, he wa given the first train running between Corvallis and Yaquina. It wui on this run he was caugnt between the couplings and injured, having a narrow escape from death. After thin accident, Mr. Creasy rested from ri!road work for five years, living during thu time at Newport. It was Mr. W- G. Cressy, the surviving widow, who as landlady, built up the name of the '"Cressy Hu'ise," so popular a.tnong summer touml to isew- jort. TheetHl till owns the ' Cressy Houne" property. From Newport Mr. Creasy and family moved to Indrpmidence and for the past ten years be was connect ed in one capacity or another, usually bb eoc.duetor with the Tndeoendence and Monmouth r .itor railway.

Besides a widow he leaves a daughter, Mies Mable, at home, and another, Mrs. Emma Choate. of Concord, New Hmp- ehire. A brother, frank Cressy, also resides in New Hauipthke. 1004 Failures There were 142 commercial fail ures in Oregon lat year, four less than in 1903.
