On Wednesday Of last week Mr. Goo
Shirts and his wifo and babe arrived a
Sweet Home Valley from Eastern Oregon
and wanting to get over TO his fathor.in law
place in the Forks of tho Santiam, ho under
took to ford tho river about six milos aboy.
Waterloo at what is known ~ tho Mathewn
ford. 1t is very bad crossing, being full oI
boulders, and just below il are rapids. Mr..
5. and his wife and child .woro all sitting ON
the front seat of the wagon when they drove
IN. and they had not gone far until no found
the water was deeper than he expected. II
came up on the sides of tho wagon and just
then one wheel became fastened between n
couple Of bouledrs. Mr.. Shirtz hallooed TO a
boy, who was a short distance up the stream
IN boat, and asked him to bring the boat
down so that he could take his wifo and haho
to the shore. While the boy was coming
down Mr. s. gave his vito the limos and got
down in tho front Of tho wagon 10 arrange
some things that were getting wet, and be.
fore he arose tho akiff arrived, and not being
handled very skillfully, il struck tho wagon
about tho center and overturned it, throwing
all the occupants into tho water. The hus.
band caught hold of his wife and child and
all were carried over the rapids into the deep
water below. Here tho banks aro nearly
perpendicular for some distance and Mr.. s.
could not save his loved ones. He struggled
with them rnaafully for several minutes, and
hoated down the stream quite distance.
His wife was insensiblo all tho time. having
probably been hurt when first thrown from,
the wagon, and he elung to her until he gave
entirely cut aad sank. Holp arrived Just at
that time aad b was taken out more dead
than alive. His wife's body was recovered
atterward. but the habe has not yet been
found. Mira. shirtz was daughter Of I. NJ.
Bruce, treasurer Of this county. and not of
Jas' Bruce, OF Benton county, as the papers
below have ii. Tho young couple had only
been married about q year. and their iafant
was only month or so old. This was their
tirSt visit home since their marriage. and no
doubt the young mother was looking forward
with joy to the moment when she would hold
her infant mp TO be kissed by its grand-par.

night of her old home she and her little one
iound watery grave. Her remains were
buried last Friday. and the search still goes
on for her babe.

Aus. Lincoln, who has been running on
railroads in this State and California for sew.
eral years, paid visit to his old home in
this city during the past week, and he in
formssus that he is now Conductor on the
Dayton d Sheridan Narrow Guage Railroad.
Last Sabbath his train jumped the track near
FairgraVe's and rolled downa 5-foot embank.
ment, injuring fifteen or twenty passengers.
No bones were broken, but hardly a single
person escaped without losing more or less
hide, flesh or hair. In consequence of the
smashing up of his train Aus got leave of
absence for eight days We are glad to hear
that Lincoln has received the appointment of
Conductor on that road. He has run ON
railroads so long that he is eminently quail.
fed to fill the position.

down 50 PORTLAND, and on Monday he naa.ed
up the road on his way home. They tell us
that ne paid for two railroad tickets on his
return, and that one was used by Mrs. Kai-

it, for George and Miss Katie Fields were
joined in the 'holy bands Of paddock" at
Portland last Sabbath. Well, George, here's

GUNPOWDER.
AAe ordinance Regulating its storage
AAeaAA be Rlgsroasly Rnforeed An thia


Who OF our readers have read the account
of the late Junction City fire, published in
the orsgoNiaR last Thursday. About on,
hundred pOunds.of powder was stored in the
rear part of one of the houses, and during
the fire it exploded, demolishing the roof and
throwing boxes of iron bolts, hoes. shades.
nails, and other hardware and timbers, from
fifty 70 two hundred feet in the air, and Il
was the greatest wonder in the world that no
one was hurt by it. This incident being
talked OF on our streets has developed the
fact that several of our business men ara
keeping powder in their stores and do not
use the precautionary measures in regard to
it which our law requires. For their benefit
we herewith give the law on the subject:
SEc No person doing busineSy within IN. .;,,
- - 70. se u any house or store house, place
ans ena my pounds Of powder In keQs Al one tims

Thls we consider one Of the most import
ant Of our city laws. The actions Of our
hremen at FIRE on First street are governed
bylt They suppose. of course, that all who
deal IN powder VIII comply with this ordin-
anee, and woe be to the man who will de-
ceive them In this matter and thus endancer
their lives Some may laugh and say that
we are making great fuss over nothing. but
they must reflect that no one knows at what
time our tiremen may be called upon to fight
the flames in any of our stores, aad if powder
Is kept Ia any quantity in these stores, stored
under counters, or in other places, their lives
are IN danger. The posts occuPied by our
hesemsn are dangerous enough at a fire when |
they light the flames alone. and when their
danger Is increased, and that unlaEfully, we, |
as one OF their number, wish to enter our
protest. The Marshal should rigidly enforce
this ordinance st once, as we ars liable to
have fire at any moment
