were partially covered. The engine.

The accident happened right at the sta
tion, go although the road WAS blocked,
the side track was clear, and trains
moved without any delay.

HON. A. j. DuFuR DEAD.
The Passing Away OF an Aged Pioneer
He Was Prominent in the state--
A Dseful Life Is closed.

Lrst evening at about 6 O'Clock Attor-
ney e. b. Dufur received word that his
father was dying at Dufur. The mes
senger gave no further particulars, and
Mr.. Dufur hastened to reach the bed
SIDE of his father before death should
cPme. Leaving town with all haste, he
had just reached the top of the Benson
grade when another messenger met him
lsaying his father, Hon. A. ]. Dufur,
was dead. The end was not unlocked
for, as the aged gentleman had long
been ailing, though there had been
nothing noticeably of late to give any
premonition of death. Yesterday after
noon he did not feel as we'll as usual,
and lay down. Soon it was seen the
end was near, and all the children were
summoned. Mr.. Dufur fingered uncon-
scious for some time, and died at about
6 o'clock last evening. His children,
with the exception of Mr.. E. B. Dufur,
were present at the bedside. Several
years ago Mr.. Dufur received stroke
that left him in an enfeebled condition.
He has lived with his daughter, Mrs,
Slusher. in Dufur, but has always been
more or less at the homes of his other
children.
In the death of this venerable gentle
man there passes away one of Oregon's
'sturdy characters. Mr.. Dufur was born
in Williamstown, Vermont, September
II, 1916, and was thus in his 80th year
at the time of his death. He has al
ways been farmer by occupation, and
has held manv important places in pub
lie life. In 1866 he moved to Wiscon-
sin, and two years later was elected a
member of the Wisconsin legislature.
In 1853 he crossed the plains, and set
tied on Columbia Slough, near
Portland. Here he remained till
1872, when ne removed to Wasco county
and with his sons founded the present
town of Dufur. His property interests
near Portland kept him a part of the
time there, but for the last ten years he
has resided continuously in Eastern
Oregon. He leaves three sons, E. B.
Dufur, of The Dalles, and Andrew and
w. H. H. Dufur of Dufur. Mrs. Ara
belle Slusher, at whose house he died,
was his daughter.
Mr.. Dufur served in the Oregon legis.
lature in 1862 and afterwards for two
terms was president of the State Aeri-
cultural society.
In 1875 he was appointed commissioner
for Oregon at the Centennial exposition
in Philadelphia and ably represented
the state. Mr.. Dufur was highly cul-
tured and kindly gentleman and his
peaceful death was fitting close to 9
useful, well rounded life. The friends oi
his earlier days have passed away and he
has joined them. His memory remains
priceless heritage to his children.
/ The funeral services will be held to-
morrow at Dulur. Rev. A. j. Brigham
will deliver the sermon. The final in.
terment will take place in Lone Fir cem-
etery, where his remains will be lie be-
side those of ais wife. who died five
years ago.

The Erstw while Milwaukee Conductor and

Capt. Tom Fuller. erstwhile he
who carried the name Of the Milwau-
kee into the realms of fame, has be-
come fairly settled in the Cream
City. Fuller is full fledged repre-
sentative Milwaukee business man,
a candidate for alderman, member
of the church and of the Mems Aid
society for the dissemination of re-
ligious literature among the unen-
lightened heather. He is happy as
a lark with all his various occupa-
tions, and finds time with all to be a
regular attendant upon the Salvation
Army meetings. 1t is said further
that he is thinking of turning his
attention to literature and, that one
of his first contributions will be
Milwaukee Without SIM" The
hero of the 'Dosia and of Timbucktoo
will no doubt figure in the work, al
though Fuller is too modest, of
course, to dwell too much on the
varied experiences in this wicked
world.
Where He May he Found.
Fuller is associated in business
under the firm name of Fuller &
Enouy, at 265 Gro street, Milwau-

Bowelsburg people are up in arms
against their school directors and
one of the warmest fights in educa-
tional circles is in progress with
slight prospects OF an early settle
ment. Trouble has been brewing in
the district for some time, but it
eliminated when a barb wire fence
was constructed about the school
grounds. grave allegations concern
ing the manner in which the work
was let having been made against
the directors. A petition has been
circulated asking the directors to
resign, but two Of them decline to
do so. avering there is no foundation
to the charges of having misappro-
priated the district funds, or any
other accusations worthy of consider
alton. The document contains 43
signatures and those people have
called mass meeting for Saturday
to take further action. What will
be the outcome is matter of much
speculation. The directors hold the
fort, and as their terms do not expire
for over a year yet, it looks as
though they could keep possession
OF their office. 1t is understood an
attempt will be made to remove
them by law, but in order to do this
malfeasance in Office will have to he

Newton, Henry Bahnks and Joseph
Donald.

election, when Henry Newton wal

wire fence improvement was opposed
by Director Donald and his feeling
aroused the inhabitants of the dis.
trict to such state that it is said
the other directors feared venturing
out after sundown lest they might be
attacked by some Of the excited.
The fence was built, however. This
and less important questions bavt

Directors Newton and Bahnks were
also accused Of holding a meeting
and transacting business without the
