Miss Dora Downing, who has been at
tending school at Forest Grove, and the
four will proceed TO California, where
they will visit relatives and perhaps re-
main oil winter. Should Mr.. Dow ming
find a snitable opening he may embark

A horrible accident happened Tuesday
night at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
T.. Reed, near Olex. While the parents
we're absent from the house few min-
| utes, one Of the little children pulled
table cover off, and with il lamp,
which exploded and set the house on
fire. All the children escaped, except a
| little child about year old, which was
burned TO death. The parents arrived
| in time to extinguish the fire and save
the house, but they are completely pros
trated over the loss OF their child in such
horrible manner.
The Roseburg Review thinks that no.
body will be sorry to learn that the
State Insurance Co. has suspended busi-
ness. 1t was bnilt up by sharpers who
/ had no idea Of treating their patrons
honestly and Its record for years past
has been such that 1t was dangerous to
insure in it. The managers Of the con-
cern should consider themselves lucky If
they escape criminal prosecution. Those
having policies in the State should pro-
ceed TO get insured in some well known
and reliable company, and through some
reliable local agent, steering clear of
oily-tongued travelling fakirs and trick
sters.
On Tuesday OF laet week Mr.. and Mrs.
John Montgomery and d. b. McKercher
Of Charlottesville were murdered at the
formers home three miles from Browns
vile, Linn county. All three we're shot
through the head by Winchester rife
Lloyd Montgomery, an ls-year old son,
is under arrest for the crime, as it is
said be was the only person on the place
at the time the murder was committed.
Later. The boy has confessed to having
committed the terrible deed, giving as a
reason that he did it because his father
slapped his face for disobedience. We
are informed that Mrs. Montgomery was
a sister OF Frank Couey of Trailfork.
Pat Sicily has sold out his saloon to
Charley Wilson, the sale taking effect
Tuesday, the day the sale was made
He received $l725 cash for the building
J and fixtures and the two lots, and is to
receive cost price for his stock Of liquors
which will invoice about $500. This
leaves the town with but one saloon, a:
Mr.. Wilson will lock up the Skells
building and continue In business where
, he is at present. Pat has been in tht
saloon bueiness SO long here that his
familiar face will be missed by the sa
, loon patrons for awhile, until they ge
fused to it." He will now devote hi
, energy and capital exclusively to stocl
raising and farming.
