FRED WHITCOMB KILLED.
A Well known Brakeman cut
in Two.

This morning the regular freight train
was passing Wolf Greek in Southern Ore
gon when Fred Whitcomb, one of the
brakeman met with q horrible death.
In some manner, not just known, he
slipped between the cars and fell under
the wheel cutting him in two and mang-
ling him in frightful manner. His re-
mains were picked up and will be taken
to Tacoma tomorrow morning, where
his parents reside. Whitcomb at one
time was brakeman on the Lebanon
train then he held position as extra
on the passenger trains between Port
land and Roseburg. He was well known
in Albany as genial, good hearted fell
low. Whitcomb was small, wiry man
whose face was known to all who have
up and down the road much.

How IT HAPPENED.-The Tidings tells
of the accident resulting in the death OF
Ted" Whitoomb as follows: From
tunnel 9 to Leland the hrakemen on the
freights have to remain on top OF the
train to watch their brakes, etc. on the
down grade. There was no freight TO be
left at Leland and none to take on and no
stop was made. When Wolf Greek was
reached Wnitcomb was missed and the
train pushed back to look for him.
Reaching Leland Whitcomb's body was
found besides the track and near a box
car that was on the end of the siding.
The side OF his head was crushed in both
arms were broken as also shoulder, in
dicating that death had heen instant.
The supposition is that WkitcouYb was
on his way TO the caboose at the rear OF
the train and was climbing down the
side of car to get onto some fat cars
that were next behind when the train
came to the siding and the box car on
the siding struck him with the results
told. The box car is said to have been
left so close to the end OF the siding that
there was scarcely a foot OF space be-
tween it and the cars of passing train.
The freight crew did no; leave it 50 close
and how it got there will have to be ex-
planned by the station agent, it is said.

THE RED CROWN MILLS.

Mr.. j. r. Stockman returned from
Portland Saturday night accompanied
by Mr.. John Ishom who has just return
ed from Virginia. Arrangements were
made for setting the Red Crown Mills to
running pending transfer of the prop
erty and the organization of new COM
pany, Wadhams & Co.. providing for
wheat for the purpose. In the mean time
the proposed deal will be consummated
according to the present plans, and ar
rangements will be made by which the
smaller storers at least will gradually OBJ
tain -four for their wheat, though prob
ably not for awhile. 1t is thought the
mill will be running this week.
The above statements are made upon
representations made to the DEMOCRAT.
The general sentiment on the street is
that with $l7 900 mortgage on the mill
it will be impossible to make transfer
by which the storers will be protected.
A good many farmers holding wheat
have been in consultation. Some are in
favor of using leniency SO long as there
is chance of effecting arrangements by
which they will get their wheat, while
others are in favor of having the presi-
dent and manager arrested for larceny
from bailee under the statute which pro-
hibits the grinding of more wheat in a
mill than has been purchased. The af-
fair continues the absorbing topic. It
certainly is to be hoped the sale of the
mill may be consummated so that it will
again be put to running.
Two attachment suits begun Satur-
day sfternoon will complicate matters.
May & Senders, of Harrisburg, attached
the mill property for $2,070.S5, Watson
4 Elkins attorneys, and Amos & Harris
for $SS6.s4, Montanye & Hackleman, at
torneys.

HANDS UP.
A Live Time Opposite Corvallis

A very live affair occurred opposite Cor
wallis last night, the particulars ofwhich
are very confusing, and will probably be
found different from the first report. AL.
Bercaw and Ernest Mann, of Independ-
ence have been living in a small house
opposite Corvallis. Bercaw had separated
from his wife, who was stopping in the
vicinity with her child. Last night
awhile before midnight o. Froberg was
awakened by Mrs. Bercaw coming to his
house crying that her husband was after
the child and was trying to kill her. Mr..
Froberg started down the road when he
met couple men, who proved to be Ber-
cav and Mann. They ordered him TO
throw up his hands, and ut the point of
a shot gun he was backed over fence
and finally into their place, where he was
gwen pounding and hit with the gun.
he finally succeeded in getting hold OF
the gun and getting both men down. His
face was badly bruised and cut. The
fight seems to have ended here, without
the child being secured or any one killed.
This morning Froberg went TO Cor
wallis; out was sent here. He reached
here about o'clock and visiting Jastice
Freerksen's Office obtained warrant for
the arrest OF the two men. He reported
the men patroling the road this morning
with shot gun, in order to prevent any
exit OF Bercaw's wife or others. Con-
stable Winn and d. S. Smith left i'm
for the vicinity of the affair
well armed and will no doubt return
with the men tonight or in the morning

The Grounds of Appeal.

The grounds of appeal in the o. P.
case are given as follows by the Corvallis
Times, making readable matter, which
will not be particularly appreciated by
the public which almost generally wish
TO see the sale confirmed.
The first four particulars recite that
when order for the sale of the property
was made there should have been pres
ent, or represented, as parties, the de-
fendant corporations, the lien creditors
in priority to the first mortgage foreclos-
ed in the suit, the certificate holders, and
the labor and material creditors. Par
ticular 6 claims that the failure of the
sheriff to sell the property between De-
cember 10th and 22nd instead of ON the
2end-the date of the sale, made the sale
invalid, and seven alleges that the origi-
nal decree of April, 1891 governed all
subsequent proceedings; that after the
same ceased to be appealable TO change
in terms or conditions could be made,
and that the exclusion of bondholders
and certificate holders from the right to
bid their securities as part of the pur-
chase money at the sale of December
22nd is a variation from the original de-
cree, and therefore fatal to the validity
of said sale. Particular nine alleges that
receivers certificates were first liens on
the proceeds of the sale, and that the
sale of December 22nd, made in the abb
sence of their holders was a fraud on
their rights, and ten says, that the sale
of the property for only $4,000 was SO
enormously inadequate in price that the
court had no right to confirm it. Par
ticular eleven alleges that the original
decree contemplated reorganization
and re-purchase OF the property by cred
itors, as is customary with railroads, and
that because the bondholders failed to
was not justification for the
abandonment of the plan, and that this
is reason why the sale should not be
and particular u recites that
the court below has no power to sell
without due provision for the discharge
Of the debt incurred in its administra-
tisn of the property.
