EinchicE Ccnfeases,

The first of the week it was learned, says
the Albany Democrat that Einchick. who
has been confined in the county Jail since
last October, under an Indictment for the
murder of Thos. Ray in the forks of the
Santiam, has confessed to the killing of Ray.
We Immediately inquired into the matter
and ascertained the truth of the fact, and
also that he claims it to have been acci
dental. It will be remembered that young
Rays body was found in the river mile
and half below where his gun was found,
ON the Santian, about eight miles from Scio.
There were seven buck sitot IN different
parts of his body, and circumstances at the
time showed conslusively that he had been
shot by some one. Mr.. Nimchick, an illit-
crate German, at least as far as our langu-
age is concerned, l2ve himself up, and was
indicted by the grand jury for the murder
of Ray, although he denied having anything
to do with it. But now, he admits that he
shot Ray, bat says they were limiting to-
gether in friendly spirit, and had scared
up some deer when he noticed brown OBJ
ject ahead of him. aud raising his gun, ahot,
when he was Mortified to find that instead
of killing deer he had shot young Ray.
He claims that he was so scared at wnat he
had done, and not knowing much about our
ways, that he was AFRAID to admit that he
done the shooting. He states that there
had always been the best feeling between
him and RAY

Death OF Mrs. John Mccoy.

The circumstances of Mrs. McCoy's
death are exceedingly sorrowful says the
Albany Democrat. She had been in fair
health up to about the time of her death.
On Saturday Feb. 8, she had come to AL
bany, and in coming or going from here
had caught severe cold, but nothing
serious was apprehendsd from it. On last
Saturday morning about three o'clock she
had awakened her husband and took some
medicine, after which they went to sleep
again, but the sleep Mrs. Mccoy took was
the long one which knows waking.
When Mr.. Mccoy awoke at six o'clock his
wife was lying beside him cold in death.
The suddenness of her death was terrible
shock to her family and friends, and cast a
gloom over the household which will not
soon be removed. The funeral services
took place Sunday in the q. P. Church at
Oskville, of which Mrs. Mccoy was one of
the most exemplary members.
In the death of Mrs. Mccoy Linn coun-
ty looses one of its oldest pioneers. Mr..
and Mrs. Mccoy came here in about lS45
and have grown up with the country almost
literally.
= She leaves living six sons and one daugh-
te", the latter of whom, the youngest in the
family, is Mrs. Frank French, of this city.
They came to Linn County in 1916, and
were almost the very first settlers. Their
home has been near Peoria. Mrs. Mccoy
was born in Green County, Ohio. and pre-
vious to her marriage taught school for =
while.

Tho A.aswortn Tragedy,

From the Walla Walla Statesman the fol-
lowing particulars are ga hered concerning
the fatal shooting of n. Fl. Grinnell by F.
c. Hammond, on the l4th, at the Ainsworth
bridge, n. P R. R.: There has for some
time existed an inlnaical feeling between the
two men, caused by discrepancy in the
amonnt of time claimed by Mr.. Grinnell
and the amount credited by Hammond,
while the former was employed by Super
intendent Mclean on the bridge. Grinnell
claimed that Hammond could adjust the
matter if he would, while Hammond pro-
tested that if any error existed he could not
find it. While at supper at Shulls' restau-
rant laas evening an ang;y discussion of the
matter took place, resulting in an alterca-
ti0n in which Hammond attempted to draw
pistol, and Grinnell taking him by the
throat, jsmmed him up against the side of
the room. Both men soon lett the restau-
rant, Grinnell little the first, and in a
short time met again in Libby & Keith's,
where few more hot words were exchanged,
when Grinnell struck at Hammond, wheth-
er knocking him down or not, I don't know,
and Hammond replied with shot from his
pistol, and it is said made, an attempt to
fire second shos, but was prevented by
bystanders. Grinnen was Wells, Fargo &
Co.'S agent and foreman of the railroad
bridge work and Hammond was time keep
er. The body of Grinnell was taken to
Walla Walla for burial. He leaves a wife.
Hammond is under arrest. Both were
young men of respectsbility.

From "The Times"

Editor ofthe Iimes:-The statements re-
Gently published in your valuable paper
has created much excitement in this city
among the class who own and use horses,
and after reading your request that all
should write you who had been benefited
by the letter published, from DIR. Bates, in
regard to the remarkable success he always
had with Kendalrs SPAWN Cure, 1 de-
cided to write you my experience with it.
My first knowledge of this remedy came
through visit to the Office of the Massa-
chusetts Society for the prevention of cru
city to animals. This society was the first
to use Kendall's SPAWN Cure in Boston,
and was informed by Chas A. Currier,
a gentleman in whom had the utmost con
6dence that they had never used anything
that worked SO well for spavins or any
lameness in horses, and he stated that he
gave it to poor men who had lame horses
and would agree to use it. and in this way
he was enabled to get along without prose
cutting them, as it was sure to cure when
persevered with. Some time after this I
received very severe injury to the knee
joint, and the high Recommendation which
Mr. Currier gave of Kendalrs SPAWN Cure
gave me so much confidence in it that I
used it for my knee with the very best of
results, and since that time my faith has
been so strong in the merits of this remedy
that we will not be without it in the house.
1 have tried it since that time for foot rot,
sore teats and warts on my cows teats, also
for general liniment for my horses and in
my family and l sincerely believe, with all
these who have written you before, that
there never was so good Haimens for both
man and beast ever discovered before.
Hoping you will continue to give US more
light on this subject am,
Yours very truly,
RoB'T. G. AVER.

Bridges for Benton County.

After continued use for twenty-eight
years in Benton county, of cheap, strong
and durable bridge, which has given gen.
eral satisfaction, when properly constructed,
that our Commissioners could be induced
at this late date to adopt class of bridges,
which will cost Benton county nearly doub-
lie the amount of money to construct; while
they are in no one respect any better than
our bridge now in use but in some respects
are inferior, does appear little strange.
Our Commissioners claim, that any of these
open bridges will rot out in about ten years.
That being the case, why should Benton
county pay ten or twelve hundred dollars
for bridge when she could get one equally
as good for half the amount.
These low open bridges were used in
Illinois thirty-seven years ago, and are in
general use there at the present time. They
can be constructed of any desired hight, and
any length of span not to exceed ninety
feet. The idea of building an eighty feet
span and only get about sixty mine feet clea1
span, when we could just as well have sey.
enty-seven feet clear span. Then to use
seven posts for each pier while two posts
would answer better purpose, and build
the truss twelve feet high in the clear,
when seven feet would do as well, must
have emanated from cracked brain. That
for Benton county to use the low oper
bridge such as has long been in use in this
county, properly constructed, would bene
fit her tax payers financially, there is no
the least doubt. CITIZEN.

EDITOR GAzETTE:-Some parties recently
here went through the form of selling at
public sale certain ties belonging to and in
the possession of the Oregon Pacific Rail
Road Company which was certainly pecl-
liar proceeding. The question at issue in
the matter is certainly between Mr.. Bagley
and Messrs Bagley, Marlett & Burns who
were the contractors in furnishing the ties,
and his and their creditors the Oregon Pa
cifc Railroad company not being party to
any such questions. The Railroad company
gave ample notice te:all conceraed;;ehat the
ties in question having been long since en-
tirely paid for by them, and having been for
months in their exclusive possession could
not be interfered with by any persons what
ever. The guardians ofths companies rights
here seem satisfied that everything
necessary has been dons to warn off any
innocent purchasers from being involved in
any subsequent trouble.
Times are quiet. Roads muddy. Better
times expected in the spring.
