FELL TO HIS DEATH
FROM A SCAFFOLD
Ben Warner, Wealthy Resident of New Pine Creek,
Fatally Hurt Last Saturday.
Last Saturday afternoon, while paint
ing the outside of his store building at
New Pine Creek, lien Warner fell from
a scaffolding to the ground, a distance of
about thirteen feet, striking on the bark
of his head and injuring his ,-ine in
such a manner as to cause paralysis,
whi?h resulted in liis death on Monday
mornimr at 4 o'clock. When picked up
t lie injured man was found unconscious,
but soon revived and conversed with
thos about him in a commonplace man
ner for a short time, when he passed
hrfo a comatose state, in which condi
tion he remained until death c.tme. He
remarked while conscious that he c .uld
not remember how it happened, but
knew his neck was broken. In the fall
his riiiht arm was fractured.
Bv-n Warner va .a peculiar mm in
many respeet; eecentrie in the ex
treme, lint in all Iih dealin-; he was
recojrn' zed as an h"nest, con-i-ieutious
man. He wa a resident of Northern
California and Southeastern Oregon for
many years.
Early last spring deceased went to
San Francisco, and while there the re
port came to his home and to Lakeview
that he had pas.-ed away in that city.
He leturned soon after to deny the story
as a ba fabrication. He searc! ever
wrote a letter to a friend in fact he was
loth to look upon any human lieing as a
true friend, and was not a believer in
Friendship in the true sense of the
w- nl. 2ut, withal, t here were men who
knew tiiat in lien Warner's heart theu
v, ere warm sjtots which belied the out
ward coldness of the man.
He wa- a non-br!ieer in (iod, and
was a follower of the doetrincs of In -jer-soll.
He would have nothing to do w ith
the Church or religion. He loved the
edueational iiistitutions of the rountry
and wa- a tirin upholder nf the public
-li iols. He was heard to remark not
ioni: a.'o that when he died hi- money
would be left to thecau-eof education.
It is unknown at this writing whether
or not deceased left a will, but it i-pie-umed
lie did. Recently he di-po-ed
of his merchandise bu-ines at New
1'ineCreek to Mesrs. L-mon t; Hartzou'.
Hi- -tuck invoiced about otm : he al-
owned a 1:001 1 ranch, and had money in
bank. It is estimated th f h wa- worth
lo.OtHI and indebted to n man. lie
was often heard to remark that he knew
of no relative living.
Deceased was aged about 7'J year-.
The funeral was held at New Fine Creek
Tuesday at 10 1 m. and a l.V -e e.n.c .tll .-e
of friends were in attendance.
