Rev. G. ID. Downey, came very near being
run over by the passenger train. She was
out 70 the depot to see some friends off on
the west-bOund train and remained on the
car until the train started, when she
jumped off the platform. Not being ac-
cust0med to such things, instead of jump
ing in the direction the train was running
she jumped the other way, and fell and
rolled under the cars fortunately shewas
caught and pulled out without sustaining
any injury, but it was a clCse shave.

Shot by the Captain.

The sealing schooner Bessie Rmter, which
left Astoria about ten days ago on a sealing
voyage returned last night, bringing a
sailor who had been shot and seriously
wounded by the captain, Henry Olsen. The
facts of the shooting as related by Captain
Olsen and the sailors are substantially as
follows: Last Sunday morning at o'clock,
while about l20 miles south of the Columbia
river, the captain went INTO the forecastle
and ordered all hands OH deck. All re-
sponded except Dane named Billy Stevens,
who would not get up. The captain went
down a second time, and asked him why he
did not get out. He said he would when
he got ready, and applied some vile epithets
to the captain, who responded by calling
him I'D niger" Captain Olsen then
went on deck and Stevens followed him
half hour later.
All hands, except the captain and two
hunters, were below at breakfast when
Stevens made his appearance. The captain
was on the poop when Stevens advanced
towand him with the remark: "You called
me id nigger. :" The captain ordered
HIM to go forward, but he paid no heed to
the command, and continued to advance
The captain seized shot gun and said:
"Do you want some trouble real bad?" The
man said he did not. but continued to ad.
vance saying he would take the gun away
from the captain. Olsen again commanded
him to 90 forward three times, but he kept
advancing and when about six feet distant
the captain fred and Stevens fell to the
deck, with terrible wound in the groin.
He was picked up and cared for as tenderly
as possible, the captain assisting IN dressing
the wound, and the schooner was headed for
the river.
When the man was taken to the hospital
an examination showed that his wounds
would probably result fatally. At late
hour last night he was very low and not ex-
pected to live. Although no blame is at
tached to the captain, even by the other
sailors aboard, he was placed under arrest
upon his arrival here by Deputy U.ted
States Marshal Barry, who is now awaiting
instructions from Portland. Under the cir
cumstances Captain Olsen will probably suf.
fer only temporary Inconvenience, as the act
was justiiable undtr the law. The captain
is well known here and is favorite with
sea-faring men, and especially those under
his command, whom he treats with uniform
kindness.

In Memorlam


James Vanderbilt Force was born in
Mendon, Ontario county, New York, Octo.
ber %, 1916, died in The Dalles, Wasco
county, Oregon, April 80, 1890. In early
life he settled in Michigan. On March 6,
1888. he was married to Miss Lucretia
Towner-his now sorrowlng and bereaved
widow. He with his young wife and infant
son, in company with younger brother,
John Force, now deceased, and a brother Of
his wife, Aaron Towner, also deceased,
started across the plans to Oregon in the
spring of 1912. After travelling as far as
Green river with wagon and team they
abandoned their wagons end came the re.
mainder of their journey on horseback,
reaching Salem on October 7th of the same
year. After living in and near Salem until
1853 he came to Wasco county, where he
has made his home ever since-most of the
time in The Dalles. In all these long and
eventful years he has ever been identified
with ths growth and development of this
young and growing countryside choice OF
his early manhood. He was a kind and
affectionate husband and father, and his
memory will eyer remain dear to the sor.
rowing and bereaved family. Those who
feel most keenly this sad and sudden be-
reavement are his dear wife, who has ever
stood heroically beside him through all the
struggles Of pioneer life in this country; Mr..
C. o. Force, of Crook county; Mrs. A. F..
Adams, wife Of Rev. j. II. Adams. of East
Portland, and their three grown daughters,
Mary T.. Ida A. and Maggie E. Adams;
and Mrs. NJ. L. Edwards. wife of Mr.. d.
w. Edwards, of The Dalles, and their
young son Walter.
Thus one by one the old pioneers of Ore
gon are passing away. Their work has been
well done, and those OF us who came later
will reap the rewards of their toll and the
foundations they have laid so deep and

Trouble at jefferson.
alap, In,,rpo1

salem journal.
There has been some trouble between
the patrons and managers of the Jefferson
flour mills and warehouse, as TO the wheat
stored there, and this eliminated in q
public meeting of the parties interested
Saturday afternoon for the purpose of in.
vestigating the actual condition of affairs
This was not found satisfactory and in.
dignation ran high.
Finally, Henry Barendrick, who has
had principal charge, requested those in.
terested to appoint a set of trustees 10
whom special assignment could be
made of the contents of the mill and the
Improvements made thereon by the pres
ent company in control. In accordance
with this, meeting was held Sunday
evening and the following trustees ap-
pointed: F. NJ. Miller, Eli Vaughn, d. Il.
Loeney. F. Ragley and II. Hoyt, who will
take charge and make what they can out
of it. Mr.. Barendrick turned over all
accounts to the trustees and is making
every effort to see that his patrons shall
not lose anything. @
Since going under the present manage
ment the mill has had heavy expense
for new machinery and improvements,
and the disappearance of the grain can
only I've accounted for upon the hypothesis
that the managers expected with an in
creased business to be able to replace it,
while the drains for their Improvements
could be met no other way than by the
sale of the grain and flour.
There is strong effort 10 be made to
organize stock company to take charge
of the mill, as it is recognized as good
property. and all will yet he we'll. 1t is
calculated that the best which can be
done with the present assests will leave a
shortage of $4,000 or $1,000 bushels of
grain.
Henry Parendrick is an old resident of
Salem and there are countless numbers
here who haye absolute confidence in
him; they are slow to believe report Of
any wrong on his part, and will be re.
joiced to see this muddle amicably ad-
justed.

The Salem Statesman Wednesday spoke
of Dick Blew as being the youngest railway
conductor in Oregon. 1t might also be re-
marked that the throttle to the locomotive
pulling his train is handled by the youngest
engineer on the coast. This engineer is E.
j. Stroud, who is but twenty -one years of
age. His run is on one of the hardest di.
visions 10 Oregon, being between Junction
and Roseburg. 1t is a night run. but the
young engineer and conductor always make
it all right.
The old gentleman, A. Hodge, whom we

what dazed condition, and taken in charge
by a friend and put to sleep in comfortable
position. He had only IS cents In his pock-
cts at the time. and usually he has more
than this amount in his possession. If he
had sold his horses he must have had a con-
siderable amount; but the facts will not be
known until ne RECEIVERS consciousness.
The manager of one of the best minstrel
organizations in this country said to the
writer in a moment of confidence tha. he
never wanted to see the Cleveland Minstrels
in New York. "Why?" was answered by
the remark that "If the show which / saw
at Detroit ever gets to New York we won't
be wanted. 1t is the best chow ever or.
ganized." This from the manager of rival
organization struck the writer with consid-
cradle force, and last evening to see this
troupe was matter of curiosity as well as
business. The entertainment in every re-
spect-in fun, singing. dancing, costuming,
picturesqueness, novelty and speciality acts
by far excels anything ever seen in this
city. To enumerate the names of the artists
songs. etc., would require column. We
simply say 60 see the great Cleveland Min
strels at the Grand, aud we will receive
thanks of the community either silently or

The Atlas says: He was crossing on a horse,
| and in mId-stream found the animal could
not or would not swim. Freeing himself,
he made for a rock reef, but missed it, and

suddenly doubled his body as if in pain, and
sank.
Hon. D. P. Thompson gave us a pleasant
call to-day. In regard to The Dalles Mill
and Water Co., he says, although stock
holder he never had anything to do with the
management. He is an old pioneer of the
state, and has followed various occupations,
from blacksmith to banker. Mr.. Thompson
is man of keen business foresight, and
such an active, energetic gentleman who
would succeed in any enterprise he under
takes. He will make good governor, and
will undoubtedly be elected next June.
Vancouver Independent: A sad accident
occurred on the North Fork of Lewis river
on Thursday last by which three men lost
their lives in twinklng. Two Burke
brothers and man whose name we haye
not learned were on the river in boat just
below a logging boom, when the boom
broke, and the boat was caught in the
crush and rush of saw logs. The boat was
destroyed in the jam. and the men went
down. There was no assistance at hand,
and they coula not have been extricated

accidenthas cast gloom oyer the riyer
community.

brother-in.law Jack Barnes, of Millers, were

afternoon they disagreed materially ON all
the live issues of the day. resulting in free
fight in their dogcart. Cole drew his knife
and gave Barnes q frightful cut in the face,
beginning On the forehead and sslanting

very freely. An Albany man who met them
gong to Jefferson. Cole driving and Barnes
