ceiving injuries which caused hla
death. The turnover took place
about three o'clock, and the injured

o'clock Saturday morning, when
death claimed him..
Clark Richardson was born at
Monroe, Oregon, March 16, 1853,
being 77 years old at the time of
detah.. December 24, 1877, he was
united in marrage with Miss Adeline
Orr, and to their union nine children

homish, Washington; Silas Richard

Clark Richardson was one of the
salt of the earth. If he had an

eration. His smile and kind word
will be missed by his legion of
friends, and all extend deep sym

the surrounding territory as he had
ranged from Mt Hood to deep in
the recesses of the mountains to the
south, and many a man has reason
to thank him for succor on those
trips That Maupin has lost one of
its most respected citizens in the
death of Clark Richardson is patent
to all. All Maupin people extend
sympathy to the beraved widow and
orphaned children in the death of
