Some two weeks or more ago he was reported to I* much better and it was thought he was on the road to recovery. But this proved to be only a false rally. He was taken to Portland one week ago and placed under the care of Dr. McCorkle, who operated on him the following day and removed IJ pinta of pu» from his lungs, caused from an ab- »ess. The operation was performed too late, for his system was poisoned from the accumulated pus and he gradually failed until the end. which occurred between one and two o clock last Sunday. Charles Wesely was born at Mil waukee, Wisconsin, Mav 29. 1876. making him at the time of his death 41 years and 25 days old. He moved with hie father's family to Kansas in 1879, where he grew to manhood on a large farm. He came to Ore- An and to Scio in 1899.
