A sad accident occurred last Sunday
evening on the Gibbons Bros.' farm,
about three miles east of Lafayette, in
which George Gibbons lost his life.
George and Dan Gibbons were doing
some butchering gome distance from
the former's bouse, when they dis
covered his house on fire. On arriving
at the house, George, believing his
family to be within, made a rush into
the bouse aud was soon overcome by
the intense heat and smoke. Dan
made repeated effort to reach bis un
fortunate brother, but owing to the
iutenae beat was unable to do so. Only
a small portion of the remains could
be found. Dan Gibbons was severely
burned about the faue and hands. At
the time of the tire the family of the
unfortunate man had gone over to his
brother's house visiting, and had
George known of the safety of his fam
ily the uufortunate affair would uot
have occurred. The family oousists of
a wife and four children.
A San Francisco dispatch says: The
clerk of the United States circuit court
of appeals has received information of
the government's Intention to dismiss
Its case against the Willamette Valley
& Cascade Wagon Road Company.
The case Is one of several of Hie same
character in which the government
sought to recover large tracts of land
in Oregon, which had been granted by
the United States to aid the construct
ion of wagon roads. The government
claimed that the roads were not con
structed In accordance with the act of
congress making the grants, and that
the patents to lands were obtained by
fraud. The defense of the corpora
tions which now own the lands was
that they purchased in good faith from
the original grantees without knowl
edge of fraud. This defense was sus
tained by the supreme court a few
weeks ago In the cases against the Cal
ifornia & Oregon Land Company, and
The Dalles Military Road Company,
and in view of that decision the gov
ernment considers U useless to' prose
cute IU appeal in tbe remaining wise.
