Lewis Yilt, age 57 years, win found dead in a little ditch si -'e of the county road, about ten rd3 uouth qf'Fanno Station, on the Cutoff, last Sunday, at 4 p. m., by J. B. Downing, a prominent
farmer of Progress. ' Mr. Yilt had" 1 sen over to Beaverton Saturday, buying some meat, cheese, dry rrocds, etc;' Later in the afternoon, lis walked down the Cutoff track to Fanno, where he took the
road facing the terrific stem, ht this place John Miller passed hii'j'and noticed Yilt running' after ht3 hat, which had been blown ofT ny the wind. This was the last heen of Yilt alive. It appears he
vyas very cold from the storm, a&d running through the tall deac'srass after his hat, fell on his back in the ditch in such a manner that ha was unable to got out, and died from exposure duringUha
night. Quite a number passed' by, but no on? noticed him on accov j&of the1 tall dead grass Bide of the road, and it was the shying of Mr. Downing's horae that gave the clew." Coroner Barrets was
phoned for, but being in Portland, Deputy Sheriff Desinger with. i-J-ndertaker Pegg, of this place, vent over, made an investigation, and brought the remains over to l !r. L'egg's undertaking parlors.
The coroner investigated Monday, and called many witnesses,, butt. very thing pointed to accidental death by exposure, as $1.35 in cash and his watch was found in his pockets. Mr.'Yittwns of Aus
trian narentao-e and born in Wisconsin. He has been stopping witrhis niece, Mrs. Riley, at Progr'esr, and ha3 been busy of late slashing for Mr. Eliander. The funeral services were liold at the f.I.E.
Church Beaverton. Isn't it stranga wiiat a little thing causes a m: n's death in this old world, the wind blowing a man's hat off, and only three blocks from home. ,k "
