A Shooting Affray.
tried to end his life, but was pre
vented bv the intervention of
friends. In his sober senses Pow
ers was a bright, companionable
man, but while under the influence
of liquor he seemed possessed with
a morbid desire to kill himself.
He has at last accomplished his
purpose despite the efforts of friends
who struggled hard to save his life
after he had swallowed the deadly
poison. He wos extremely weak-
minded concerning women and his
last attempt to kill himself is said
to be due from such cause. He
was buried last Sunday at Lone
Fir cemetery, the typographical
union of Portland taking charge of
the funeral.—Wasco County Sun.
