The Ready Inquest.

The testimony before the coroner's
jury yesterday is too voluminous to
print. In substance it is that Ready's
train was on the side-track, that the
switch had been left open necessarily to
allow Ready to back his train. The
principal point to be decided was as to
who was to blame for the accident, and
under the rules of the company the
blame seems to fall on the brakeman
and conductor of the freight. and partly
on Ready himself. We say seems to,
because we know nothing of those rules,
but this is the inference given by the
witnesses. There is no question as to
the hagman being sent out, and none as
to his tagging the passenger twice, get
ting an answer each time. The fact
that Engineer Sherman did not put on
that the hagman instead of stopping at
his post ran on towards his train as soon
as his signal was answered. From this
fact Sherman supposed the track was
clear as far as the other end of the
switch.
blame we do not pretend to say; but
we do say that the primary cause of the
accident lies with the company and the
board of railroad commissioners. The
company should not send ont trains
longer than the sidings, and the board
of railroad commissioners should not al
low it to do SO. and for this reason the
Ii I,
hthe trainmen, or any of them. The
verdict of the coroner's jury is as fol-
| lows:
"We the jury called and sworn to IN
llquire into the death of Joseph w. Ready,
find, First, that he was employed as an
] engineer on the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Co.'S railroad, that at about
S:35 o'clock a. M, December 25th, A D..
1894, at what is known as the summit,
on the line of the said railroad in Was
CO county, Oregon, a head-end collision
occurred between train No. and extra
engine 1856, and then and there the said
Joseph w. Reedy was killed by reason
of said collision. Second, we also find
that the cause of the collision was

At Armory Han.

The entertainment given by the
Episcopal Sunday school Christmas
night was well attended, and was one of
the very pleasantest affairs OF the kind.
There was some little trouble in getting
the magic lantern to working rightly but
this was soon remedied and the immense
views perfect in every way held the at
tention not only of the little folks but of
the larger ones also. The recitations
and songs were thoroughly appreciated
by all. Mr.. Davis tells us he will give
another exhibition with the magic Ian
tern, as he has hundreds of views, and
all well worth seeing.

MAIER & BENTON.

Parish, Kemp Berry's mother-in-law,
and partner in the sheep, bid 50 cents
per head. Peterson agreed to let her
have them if she would pay cash. She
could not do it. Peterson then gave
Frazell bill of sale on the sheep for the
1886. This caused words to pass be-
tween Mrs. Parish and Frazell. She
called him liar. He retorted by saying,
"While have been at that, what you
been doing?" At that Berry struck
Frazell two or three times in the face.
Anyone who knows Frazell knows also
he was not long in returning blow for
blow Round and round, up and down,
but soon friends parted them and but a
few bruises were the result. So ends
the chapter of pugilistic exercises.

BRIEF MENTION.
Eeaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.

Andrew Kellar has a four-room
cottage to rent If
land slide down the river delayed
the local passenger a short time today.
Tom Gilmore was over from Klickitat
this morning and says he will finish his
tall plowing tomorrow, and quit for the
year.
This has been perfect winter day,
lacking only a little snow. The sun
shone brightly all day and was warm
enough to just thaw the top of the
ground and nothing more.
In noting the death of Joseph w.
Ready yesterday, we stated that he was
president of the American Railway
Union. This we are informed by his
brother engineers is a mistake.
Arrangements have been made for
shipping the body of Engineer Ready to
his old home, in Bethel, Pennsylvania.
Engineer Thomas Haslam will accom-
pany the remains, starting tonight.
Blakeley & Houghton have purchased
the stock of the Helm drugstore and are
taking an inventory today. The goods
will be removed at ouce to give the
brick masons and carpenters chance to
take out the lower partitions of the
building.
You may not think SO, but you want
to go around to Crossen's grocery and
see the processes by which things good
to eat are made without the use of the
ancient and everlasting hog grease,
Cottolene is the new fad, and if it is as
good as it looks, it will soon win its way
to popular favor.
Another train wreck occurred at Tum.
water, near Cello, last night about II
O'Clock. This time the accident was
caused by broken wheel, or something
of that kind. Several cars left the track
and were pretty badly wrecked. It il
said that the sections of one of the gates
at the Cascade Locks was on the train
but are now under the wrecked cars, anc
are probably pretty badly damaged. i
this is the fact another delay will per.

Amusement in Mitchell.

As sit at my window this 23d of Dec,
shiver and cringe, tor just below there
seems to be heavy snowstorm and its
dismal and bleak appearance strikes
chill to my bones. But there is no
reason for complaint, for the winter, so
far, has been almost incompatible in ex-
cellence, until a few hours since and the
sky seemed suddenly overcast and a
heavy storm coming on us. It is but a
few miles below and long ere this comes
to you we will have had a snowstorm, at
least you may think so, and as the ap-
pearance at distance severe enough.
But snowstorms are not all we have to
attract our attention and divert our
minds. A few of the most interesting I
must tell you. First and very important
Mrs. DIR. Hauck has been quite sick the
past week, being confined to her room
entirely and to her bed most of the time,
but at present is better.
Frank Forrester's infant has been very
sick the past week.
More sidewalk has been laid until
there has been complete new walk laid
half the length of the town.
DIR. Houck is having new Office built.
Sasser has but lately put in full
stock of goods.
A Baptist church was organized here
under the instructions of Rev. Mr.. Moar
of Arlington, who had been holding SER
vices here for about two weeks. A
worthy and competent man who held
his audience in rapt surprise as he told
his story in so lucid and graphic man
ner that left hardly a doubt in the un-
prejudiced minds of the hearers, that
there was foundation for the truth of the
assertions made. Everyone was better
for his coming. Such a thing cannot be
said of every minister that comes here,
I am very sorry to say, but it is true.
This is the fret church organized here,
although there were but few members
we hope it may prosper.
Quite an amusing affray lent its ridic-
ulous side to the people of Mitchell one
day of last week; amusing as well as
ridiculous. Mr.. Frank Van Ordstrand
and his wife were having some difficulty
in the barroom of Sasser's hotel. Van
| Ordstrand struck her several times when
o. S. Maxwell, of this place, interfered,
which caused words to be passed between
the men. Van Ordstrand called Max
we'll a liar, when Maxwell struck him
in the face with his fist. Van Ordstrand
laid hold of the dinner bell, which was
lying on table near, and struck Max
well blow with it in the face. Max
well caught and wrenched it away from
Van Ordstrand giving him blow after
blow on the head, cutting the scalp at
each blow, until the man was well
hashed to pieces, when friends interfered
and parted them. The injuries OF
neither man are serious.
A dispute, which ended in few slapE
and slight bruises, occurred at sale oi
some sheep at g. L. Frazell's place OF
Gird creek. A man by the name of Pet.
erson, herder, was selling the sheer
for his wages, which amounted to $3.50
Frazell had mortgage on the sheer
against Kemp Berry, Peterson bid the
sheep in for 81 cents per head, Mrs. Ed
