Death oF A A MeCallsy.

A. A. MeCulley, the well known steam,
boat man, was kicked by horse at his farm
in lamhill county on Thursday evening OF
last week. Two ribs were broken and his
skull and shoulder blades were crushed. lie
died in five hours after the accident being at
the time of his death 6S years of age. Mr..
McCulley was well known all over Oregon.
lie came to this state In ISSa and settled In
this county, where nc founded the city of
Harrisburg In 1860 he represented the
county In the State Legislature. In 1854
he moved 10 Salem, where he assisted IN
founding the systsm OF river transportation,
with which he was connectedunti recently.
There are few people who have not had q
ride on the steamer "a. A. McCulIey,"
which few months ago was burned At the
Cascade locks. The deceased will long be
remembered fos the useful part he played
in the history of the Willamette Valley. A
history of his life would contain much OF
interest to this section OF Oregon.

Matte Allison was taken on last Monday
morning 10 Salem, where shs is now guest
Of Sheriff Mimic. One reason why the pFis-
onsr was taken TO Salem was that the order
Of the C9art gave Sheriff Smith the right TO
take her there any time after the change Of
venue. and he thought il beat 20 do so.
This was fastened by the fact that the
sheriff had very properly forbidden Miss
AllIson's mother the privilege Of sleeping
and communicating with Mas Allison. And
she requested 70 be taken now. On getting
there sheriff Minto insistrd on the same re-
strictions being carried out Tne Accommo-

A disgracefnl row occurred at Miss Lords
place in the Third Ward last Sabbath morn
ing about one o'clock. Several young men
got into general fight and bruised each
others noses. broke furniture, dishes, etc,
In most disgraIeful manner. As there
was no one to swear out a warrant, the in
terested parties preferring 10 keep their
names away from the public, no arrests
were made. A special police is evidently
needed to keep track Of this place. Per-
haps an abatement OF the nuisance would
work pretty well. The increased number
of strangers in Albany necessitates increas-
men.

made him crawish. Then he had Il pub.
