DEATH OF JAMES EGLIN,
A Mysterious Case Was He Mur
dered or Drowned in the River?
(Ifroni Albany Herald, Jun. H.)
Iiifortnntlon wua received from Or
vullls yesterday thut Jiimes Eglin, woll
known In Albany, was believed lo
have been murdered or drowned in the
Willamette river at that place. The
particulars of the aflulr point rather to
murder than that he was drowned, but
there Is u mystery connected with the
case which may never be explained,
Young Eglin, who was engaged with
his father In the livery business In
Corvallls, drove down to Albany Fri
day evening In a buggy, bringing a
drummer, who wished to come to this
city. "Billy" Williams accompanied
him In another buggy, bringing two
married womeu of Corvallls, who
wished to do some trading In Albany.
Their teams were put up in John
Bchnicer's livery stable. About 10:80
they started home, one of the ladies
going in eauh buggy.
The particulars of tho tragedy as
near as they could be obtained from a
gentleman from Corvallls, who was in
Albany yesterday, are as follows:
The women wore Mrs. Cosper and
Mra. Bnilth, and were sisters. They
hud Intended to go buck to Corvallls
on the boat, but got left, but Mr. Wil
liams asked Mr. Eglin to allow oueof
the women to ride with him. When
they had crossed the ferry at Corvallls
anil readied the saw mill, Mrs. Cosper,
who was riding with Mr. Eglin, got
Into tht other buggy with her sister,
and Williams drove them home. He
asked Eglin to wuit there a few min
utes until lie came back. When he
returned he could see nothing of Eg
lin. He then drove to the stable, ex
iieoting to II n U him there, und when
he did not appear he drove buck and
looked for him, but in vuln,
About 4 o'clock the missing team
came up to the burn without the
buggy. The search was then renewed,
and the buggy was found on Water
street, neur the electric light station.
It was smashed up us if It hud been In
a runaway accident, hut appearances
lmllnuted thut It hud been driven
under a low shed so us to break the
lop and lead to the belief that there
hud been u runaway. When It became
duyllght the trucks of the horses could
be seen going down the street toward
the river. The trucks of a man who
hud been dilvlug them were plainly
discernible. The trucks led to the
river, and it looked us If Eglin hud
been struck by some assussln and Ills
Body thrown Into the stream. There
were murks down tin embankment In
to u clump of willows, which indicated
that the body had been drugged down
to the water. His hat was found lying
on the river bank, but the body had
not at a late hour been found. Whether
robbery wns the motive for the murder
is not known. Additional facts will
no doubt be forthcoming und will
throw some light on the affair and
may clear up tlie mysterious circum
slaiices and erplaln how young Eglin
lost his life at the dead hour of the
night Of that unlucky Friday,
The deceased was aged about 34, He
used to drive the stage between Alba
ny and Corvallls before there was a
railroad connecting the two towns,
and he was woll known In this city,
He had a wife and child.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
THE BOARD'S WORK FINISHED.
Oregon's Board of Equalization Haa
Completed Its Work, at the
Uaual Heavy Expense.
Tho state board of equalization for
the year 18110, says .the Htatesman, Is a
a thing of tlie past, Its labors having
been concluded Deo. 30.
Twenty-two counties were raised by
tlie board, Beven were reduced and
throe were left ns returned by the
county boards Columbia, Curry and
Luke.
The increase over the total valuation
of property, us returned by the county
boards of equalization, is $0,414,849,
and as equalized by the state board the
net taxable property for the year 18IKI
Is $1,208,475 less than for the preceding
year. The bulk of tlie Increase In the
total valuation is in Multnomah coun
ty, where nil Inorease of $,964,005 was
made by the board,
The bonrd before Adjournment acted
upon a number of resolutions. Mr.
Goodall, of Uuiou, who enjoyed the
distinction of being the only populist
nu tlie board, presented a resolution
recommending the amendment of the
luw so us to have the bourd consist of
five members. The resolution was
promptly tabled by a vote of 5 to 3.
1). P.Tuonipsou, of Portland, intro
duced a resolution to ubolisb the board
and have the governor, secretary of
state, and stute treasurer act as a board
of equalization to equalize the assess
tuenta of the counties for stute purposes
only. This wus defeated, Mr, Thomp
son's being the only vote to support
the resolution,
Mr. Thoinpsou then introduced u
resolution fuvorlng the reduction of the
exieuses of the bourd and a vote being
taken on its adoption resulted in a tie
vote, and the opportunity the stute
board hud for going In for retrench
ment practically by recommending
action by tho legislature looking
toward a reduction lu expenses wus
lost.
The accounts of services of the secre
tary, clerk and messenger for extra
(night) work were presented and a
resolution offered that the same be al
lowed. This puased by an almost
unanimous vote, Thompson of Port
land, only voting against it. The total
bills of these officer! are:
H. L. Wells, secretary $301 5u
G. G. Bhiriev, clerk 301 60
H. Hobnail, messenger 75 37 i
Total $0" 37
At the beginning of the session tlie
sulurioB ot the aecrutaiy and clerk were
fixed at $8 per day each, atid thut of
the uiesseiigur at $1.50 per day. At
that ruto, tlie cost for the work would
huve been $405, whereus, under tlie
salary resolution passed by tlie board
the last day, the cost for the clerical
aid Is $078.37, or $243.38 more than wus
ugreod upon at the time the sessiou
opened.
The following table shows the pay

The llterury society's entertainment,
Saturday evening, pnssed off very
smoothly. Miss Annie Blackluw con
ducted the exerciseB, and did it well,
She marshaled the audience and
managed the lengthy program with
perfection and promptness. Many
dialogues, recitations, songs, etc., con
stituted the exercises. Misses Nellie
McKuight, Gertie Hamon, Mary Mc
Knlght, and Mrs. Gentry favored the
audience with excellent recitations.
The instrumental music was well
executed. In fuet, the entire program
was very Interesting, but Bpace forbids
further mention. I am sure no one
who was there regrets attending.
Bprugue, (Wash.) people are moving
their houses to Spokane on flat cars.
A abort time ago some residence
liuildiflgs were loaded bodily and
transported in this way. The county
commissioners, however, have made
an order that no buildings shall be al
lowed to be removed until the tuxes
upon them shall have been paid. It
was rumored that the holders of mu
nicipal bonds would also interpose,
objection to the removal of property,
but it is claimed that Ibis could uot be
done, although if raises un interesting
questiou which it might require the
courts to settle. It took the train one
day to reach Cheney und another to
get to Spokane. Whenever a cut was
reached, the train hud to be halted
and the houses moved from one side ot
the cars lo the oilier.
