SOLO OY G O FF B R O S ., FO REST GROVE , OREGON The victim of the rviiaway accident reported in last week’s News, Wm. Dilley, never ri ¿lined consciousness and early next morning, Friday, died of his injuries. This was a singular accident as there is no theory advanced explaining how he was dragged, but the fact that his team was tied to the fence has been cleared up. It is un derstood that a party from up Gales Creek way came along the road at an early hour that morning to catch the 7:00 train for Portland, and that they found Dilley’s team and tied it to the fence. They also discovered Dilley and noticed that he was alive but sup- j posed that he was under the influence ' of liquor, consequently, in their hurry , to catch the train, they left him where i they found him, little thinking that he was injured. Upon arriving at Forest Grove they did not see anyone on the street to notify hence their departure without his condition being known. The funeral was held Saturday at one o’clock from his father’s home in this city and the interment was in Buxton cemetery. Deceased was 26 years old and he leaves, besides his parents, several brothers and a sister, and a wife. Supt. E. S. Callender, of the con denser, last week had a visit from his son, E.
