ACCIDENT. Thursday morning con-
struction train No. |, consisting of an
engine, caboose and two fiat cars, flew
tie track, di1ehing the two flats and il :
juring more or less SIX. men, on the o.
r. d. n. road, about three ui,es from
Walla Walla. The tram was running
about three miles per hour and the
track ahead appeared all right, when
suddenly, without warning, the two
fiat cars tipped over and were precipi-
tated into a ditch. 1t was found wa
ter had burrowed its way undea the
track, and when the two fiat cars,
which were heavily loaded with iron
and ties, passed over this, tie embank-
ment caved In. There were about 80
n.ea on the cars at the time, and as the
cars began sliaing over the men were
brown violently to one site along with
the ties, the iron falling directly by
the side of the train. The following
re injured: P. Cheatham, leg broken
below the kn,e both bones broken and
otherwise injured; Mike McMahon,
badly sprained ankle and other slight
bruises; John Weilen, hip joint sprain-
ed by tie falling on him; IT. Kimball
struck by falling ties and had his hip
and loins badly bruised; Peter Mahon,
ankle sprained and other slight bruises.
Immediately after the accident the
wounded were carried to a hay stack
near by and man was dispatched ta
the garrison for physicians and ambu-
lances. Under the direction of the
garrison surgeon the men were sent tc
st. Mary's hospital, where thei,
wounds were dressed by the o. r.

The Storm in the North.

While the regular winter mists had
been descending upon Portland for
some tirae past, on Monday morning,
December 11th, the bottom of the
clouds seemed all at once to have
dropped out and Portland secured such
thorough drenching 1--WE wish we
could say cleansing), it has not
received for many years. For the "a
hours ending at 8 F. N. on Tuesday the
rainfall amounted to 4.07, and for the
succeeding "a hours 6.68 inches, in all
1915 inches. Tie damage to the city
and vicinity was very considerable, as
tie sewers proved unequal to carry eff
the surplus water The center Of the
storm seems to have been in the vicin-
ity of Portland. although its effects
were severely felt along the Columbia
river At Eugene City the rainfall
was lighter, while in Roseburg during
the same period, it attracted no atten-
tion., The principal damage has been
to the railroads. The west side road,
from Portland to Corvallis, was rem
dered impossible by washouts, and q
washout at New Era and at Jefferson,
on the east side road, prevented the
passage Of the mails from Portland to
Roseburg from Wednesday until
Monday. On the road from Portland
to the Dalles, land slides and washonts
have stopped travel altogether upon
the railroad, which is now carried on
by steamers and the portage as for
merly. Upon the upper Columbia the
storm was also severe. The Umatilla
has been so high as to flood the town of
Pendleton and much damage has been
done to the railroad. Until communi-
cation is fully restored, 10 accurate ac-
count can be gained of the results.
Some loss of life is reported. The
Willamette rose at Portland seventeen
feet.

GREAT Cay AND LITTLE Wool
On last Friday morning as our senior
was starting to the mill dam with a
friend for raid upon the fnny tribe,
he was summoned by the sheriff to
serve as deputy to assist in the arrest
Of ten desperadoes,t whom Flmple, the
conductor of the freight train, telc-
graphed had captured his caboose at
Myrtle Greek. The posse assembled
at the depot t.as sight to see.t Be-
sides the sheriff, loaded down with re-
volvers and shackles, there were two
with wooden legs, six tramps, four
spindle shanked young gentlemen
smeking cigarettes, the express agent,
the agent of the Grange, the fighting
man, and four lawyers, all awaiting
with bated breath the arrival of the
train from the south. When the train
finally arrived it was discovered that
the so-called edesperadoes were gang
of white men who had been discharged
with their time checks and no money.
As they had nothing with which to
buy meal, they concluded to come to
Roseburg on the train. They offered
their checks TO pay their fare and re-
fused to get off until they arrived at
Roseburg, which they did very quietly.
The sherifss posse quietly dispersed,
but if the train had on board the des-
perate men that Fimple photographed,
there is no telling what gallant deeds
that posse would have done.
