EVENTS IN OREGON 1
Rrmalna Found la Lonelj Nook
Hillsboro. The remains of man
whose name was evidently E. Perdue
of Spokane, and who was murdered
la cold blood In a lonely place in the
mountains 28 miles northwest of this
city, were found by a fifteen-year-old
boy Saturday about noon. The body
was partially covered by sticks and
clap-boards and old refuse. The boy
returned home and notified his fa
ther, R. E. Neighbor, who went to
the scene and getting a survey of
the place notified the sheriff and cor
oner. Sheriff Hancock and Coroner
E. C. Brown went to the mountains
and held an Inquest. They found the
body bad been lying In seclusion for
perhaps three weeks and the face
was badly decomposed. There was
no possibility of Identification so far
as features were concerned, as de
composition was too far advanced.
The man wore overalls but no coat.
His skull had been crushed in by
some blunt Instrument, probably the
back of a pole-axe.
In the dead man's pocket were
found two stamped coins the size
of a half-dollar, on which were print
ed "E. Perduo, Spokane, Wash.,
1907." Another piece of aluminum
contained an eagle with a circle
around it made from the game metal.
The two back teeth of both the upper
and lower left Jaws had been filled
with amalgam.
The Neighbor boy who found the
bedy says that about three weeks
ago or more he met a man who was
wading the stream barefooted and
who told him that he was from Spokane.
Pog Rescues Two Little Girls
Albany. A dog owned by Maurice
Winter, a well-known commercial
traveler residing In Albany, assisted
In the rescue of three little girts
from drowning at the Nye Creek
beach at Newport last week.
William Eagles' children, Willie,
aged 11, and Elizabeth, aged 5, were
playing on the beach, accompanied
by Helen Winter, 4-year-old daugh
ter of Maurice Winter, and Mary
Penlngton, 7-year-old daughter of
Clyde Penlngton, of La Grande, ex
Sheriff of Union County. The child
ren were barefooted and were dig
ging far out on the beach. The
waves began to come around them,
but they paid no attention until a
large one was almost upon them,
when all started to run. The Eagles
boy ran around a ledge of rock which
was in their path, but the frightened
girls clambered over the rock and
fell Into a wide pool of water, five
feet deep, directly on the other side
of the ledge.
There were no people near and
the three girls floundered helpless
ly. Young Eagles bravely waded out
and finally managed to catch his sis
ter's hair and pulled her to the bank.
The other girls, farther out in the
pool, were almost drowning when
Winter's dog ran up, plunged in and
caught Helen Winter's clothes In his
mouth and dragged her to the bank.
Mary Penlngton held to the Winter
girl's clothes and was pulled close
enough to the edge so that Young
Eagles caught her arm and saved
her, too.
