Mrs. C. F. Tripp of Lebanon
Fell Yesterday In Front
of Cusicks Bank
Slipping and falling on the pave
ment yesterday taefrnoon in front of
Cusick's bank, Mrs. C. F. Tripp, an
aged lady from Lebanon, sustained a
wrenched knee.
Mrs. Tripp was picked tip and car
ried into Dawson's drug store and
Inter was carried up in the building
to Dr. W. R. Shinn's office where
the injured limb was attended. The
doctor pronounced it a slight injury,
although it was feared at the time that
it would prove serious, due to the
fact that sometime ago Mrs. Tripp
suffered a fractured hip, and has since
been compelled to walk with crutches.
The aged lady had come over from'
Lebanon to consult Dr. Shinn. After
leaving his office she proceeded down
the stairs and upon reaching the side

her crutches slipped, throwing her

story in the Portland telegram?
I rains will he running hetween
F.uirene and Mapleton by January 1
on the Willamette it Pacific railroad,
the new road which is to connect Lu
irene with Marshfield, at Coos Bay
k is possible that even be tore the
end ot the year the trains win ne m
operation. The distance between Eu
gene and Mapleton is considered the
worst for those who try to reach Loos
Kay overland in the winter mouths,
for Srom Mapleton they can travel
down the river by launch to Mhe
beach.
"No less than 3000 men arc now
working on the road, divided among
32 camps. Porter Brothers have
about 2300 men at work and Twohy
Brothers 700. More men are needed."

purchase of a vast tract of timber
in this county by the Porters.

Be Cause
Crazed by jealousy on account of
domestic troubles, Fred W. Ingles of
Corvallis placed a muzzle of a .38
revolver to the head of his wife, Dora
I). Ingle, yesterday in the office of
Attorneys Carson & Brown,, of Salem,
and sent two bullets crashing .through
her brain, killing her instantly, says
this morning's Statesman, He then
turned the smoking gun on himself
and sent a third bullet plowing into
his own head, inflicting a mortal
wound.
Ingle died about 5:30 yesterday
afternoon, lie lived scarcely an hour
after the shooting. He leaves n sis
ter. Mrs. Holm, in Wenatchee, Wash.,
and three or four brothers.
All the more horrible was the work
of the fiend when it became known
that he had vowed he would get
his wife and "kill her on sight."
It was reported that lugle had
been involved in some fiuanciat dif
ficulty with the express company at
Woodburu and that he was held re
sponsible for the disappearance of
$51 K) from the company's funds. It
was for this, it is said, that he was
let out of his position there Brood
ing over this affair and his domestic
troubles are said to have wrought up
on his mind until he became distract
ed. , . t .
Five people were in the office at
the time of the tragedy. They were
Fred W. Ingle, Dora D. Ingle. Miss
Renska Swart, Attorney .McFadden
of Corvallis and J. D. Turner. Just
previous lo the shooting, Mr. Turner,
attorney for Mrs. Ingle, and Judge
W. S. McFadden, attorney for Ingle,
were in the library trying to effect
a reconciliation between the husband
and wife. The two attorneys step
ped into Turner's private office and
left the three alone in the library for
a conference in regard to the dif
ficulty. Pending the outcome, the t
institution of divorce proceedings
would rest.
Scarcely two minutes elapsed when
two shots, sounding like reports of
a toy cap pistol were heard, followed
by a woman's screams. The two
men rushed into the library and found
Fred and Dora Ingle in the far end
of the room, which was partially par
titioned off, lying on the floor dying.
