In another column will be found
the ad of J. W. Cuslck & Co., bankers

til rough the severest financial panic of

are known as one of the solid banks of
the state. Their increasing busii.es"
bears evidence of the fair and honest
treatment accorded to their customers.
Mr. Cuslck Is well acquainted in tills

his honesty and admires his financial
ability. Depositors ueed have no fears
as to the safety of their money.
The Halem Statesman intimates that
the affairs of the State Insurance

Senator McBrlde has been retained as
receiver's council. The Statesman ap
parently has no hope of a future for
the concern, and darkly hints In these
words: "The main trouble with the
Salem home company, 'the State,' is
that it has for some years beeu send
ing the 'giwd' Willamette valley and
Wtsteren Oregon money after the bad
Eastern Washington, Idaho and
Sound money. It lias been doing this
at the rat of JtfO.OOO to $40,0(10 a year
This has made up the difference, be
tween success and failure. There were
other elements that helped to make
up this difference. These it would not
be gracious to mention here." Orego

At lilfc residence In Brownsville, on
Thursday evening at 8:30, 1895, Mr.
Jos. Harrison died, aged seventy-four
years. The Times says: "Uncle Joe, as
he wns generally known, was bom In
Lincolnshire, England, September 14,
1821, and came to the United States in
1845. In'tlie year 1847 he was married
to Polly Warren, in the state of Mich
igan. Iu 1852 he and his family
crossed the plains' for Oregon. His
wife died in 1864, and he was married
to Mrs. Wry E. Watson on May 10,
1868, who survives him. Mr. Harrison'
has lived in. or near Brownsville the
greater portion of the time since 1852,
and Is known all over the country as

Early Monday morning news was
received in this city by telephone, that
the Thcmas Kay Woolen Mills in Sa
lem had been totally destroyed by fire
at 5:00 a. in. The fire originated in
the dry-room; just how, has not been
learned, but is generally supposed to
be the work of an Incendiary. The
building au machinery were valued at
100,000, and a stock of about $40,000
was also burnt, making a loss of about
$100,000, on which there was au insur
ance of $20,000. The warehouse aud
office were saved, they being separate
from the main buildiug. The loss is
an unfortunate one, both to the city ot
Salem and the stock holders, especially
to Mr. Kay, the principal stock
holder, who by his energies hud built
up a tkriftUig .sad growing business;
one of the finest iu the state. Mr.
Kay'rlriemrs at this placcBympathize
with bii)'' in his his heavy loss. It. is
not ktiowii yetwhat effect, if any, this
will have on the Waterloo Mills. Mr.
Kay was at Waterloo when the fire
occurred
A TRIPLE MURDER.
A triple murder was committed near
Brownsville last Tuesday ulwut 4:00
p. m.; the msl horrible in the history
of Linn county. The victims were
John Montgomery and wife, residing
there, and D. B. McKerchcr, owner of
the fliur mill at Craw fordsville, all
prominent people of the county. Mont
gomery lay beside a fence a few feet
fromnhe bouse, with a bullet iu the
left side of the head; his head nearly
blown cftTj Ills' brains covering the
ground. McKercher was lying on the
sittiqg room door, with a bullet iu the
left side of his head, and Mrs. Mont
gnmeryon the dinning room floor,
havlug.beeu shot twice, once in the
back aud -tilt other takingetlect in the
back'of the head and coming out at
the forehead. When found, nil were
lyiug'on (heir faces, evidently having
beenhot from the rear while fleeing.
A rilje belougln i.to Montgomery lay
acrosSgthe.legsof McKercher, evidently
having been placed there.
Werfalte the following particulars
from the Albany Democrat. "Mr
Montgomery had rented the Temple
ton hop yard, working it the past sea
son, Mr. Templeton, the owner, resld
ipg with ' him. Yesterday (Tuesday)
Mr. Montgomery sold bis hops to Mr,
Fred tiilkey, a buyer, and received the
pay in cash at the house from Mr.
GUkey atwut 4 o'clock. At the time
McKercher was present. He had made
arrangements to borrow some money
of Montgomery and stopped on his
way home from Brownsville to get it
The eighteen year old sou of Mr.
Montgomery was also present. After
completing tho purchase Mr. Gilkey
left for Brownsville, tie had not gone
far when he head shots. Not thinking
jt a serious matter he continued on hi
Jouryey.
The Montgomery Miildrcn arrived
homt Iroiu school aud found the bodies
as slated. They notified their two
brothers yliq were lu the field plow
ing. . The one present when Gilkey
left, Loyd, claimed to have Jolued his
brother immediately, uud hearing the
shots thought his father was shooting
squirrels. He hastened home, jumped
on a horse and notified the neighbors,

shooting commenced from behind. I
Montgomery wasBhot first. A woman
living across the river heard the shot
and heard a voice begging some one
not to shoot, evidently McKercher'B,
as it was not Montgomery's; .another
shot followed. . McKercher was hi tin
the back of the head and fell inside of
the door as be rushed from the
murderer. ., Then the voice of the wo
man was beard streaming for mercy,
and two shots were fired. -
Some think Lnyd Montgomery did
the act, and that he was not in the
field as claimed, others that some one
else knowing of the money did It. No
one else was seen in the neighborhood,,
and the money was" gone. . Either
Loyu Montgomery did it and (ben
ran to the field-, or a stranger was the
guilty one." "
VERDICT ')P THE CORONER'S JURY.,
Brownsville, Nov, 20. The coro
ner's jury tonight returned the follow
ing yerdict: Iu the case of Montgom
ery, his wife, aud McKeroher, who
were murdered yesterday, we, the
jury, find that John Montgomery and
Lizzie Montgomery, bis. wife, and
Daniel McKercher came to their
deaths from gunshot wounds inflicted
by some other person than themselves.
From the evidence offered in the case
we have good reasons to believe that
Loyd Montgomery Is the guilty party.
. Loyd Montgomery has been arrested
and will have his preliminary trial at
BrowiiBVille today.
