Crushed by Falling Tree.
| James H. Cameron, a young mar
employed at Ed McReavy's camp or
the Port B1akely road, met a fearful
death early Monday morning, his cabir
being crushed by a falling tree. Young
Cameron was caught in the breaking
timbers and his life crushed out, the
tree springing back clear of the cabin
His bro Their, John Cameron, was sleep
ing on the opposite side of the cabin.
but escaped with more or less severe
bruises.
James Cameron was about "a years
of age, and the fourth member of his
family to suffer violent death. His
father was killed 20 years ago in sail
ing vessel, and two brothers were re.
Gently drowned by going through ice.
The escape of his brother John is little
short of miraculous. His mother and
another brother reside in Olympia,
where his remains were taken for in
terment Monday, on the steamer Doc
tor. Young Cameron is we'll known
among the logg ers, and his untime1y
death is regretted among his &C
quaintances.
Hon. J. H. Schively, organizer and
lecturer, gave an informal address on
the benefits afforded by the Ancient
Order of United Workmen, at the Odd
Fellows Hall on Monday evening.
Owing to the failure of the Mu1tnomah
to run Saturday and Sunday, Mr..
Schively was unable to reach Shelton
at the appointed time, and coming on
the evening boat, after the meeting
hour, it was decided to have the lecture
i'll the lodge room where the audience
might be more comfortable. While
not great many were out, owing to
the cold weather, those present appre-
ciated the talk, and were interested and
amused. The advantages of member
ship in the orders providing death ben
efts were explained, as we'll as the
low cost. and reliability of the A. o. u.
w. About thirty members and ladies
enjoyed a splendid supper at the Hotel
Dipman, in which Mr.. Schively en-
livened the crowd, and very pleasant
social evening was enjoyed. Lecturer
Schively will come again in the sum-
mer under more favorable circum-
stances and will then deliver his regular
address, and we are sure that his
audience will be large one, and they
will be pleasantly entertained.

Mrs. Cody of Tacoma, who disap-
peared several weeks ago and for whom
search has been made practically all
over the United States and for whose
recovery a reward eff $1,000 has been
offered by her husband, who is now in
California, was found by her father,
Monday, in the exposition grounds at
Tacoma, on her knees with pistol in
her hands and a bullet in her brain.
She evidently knee1ed and shot herself,
death coming so suddenly that she
neither fell nor dropped the weapon.

The cold snap of Sunday cracked a
number of waterpipes, and the water

Many tender houseplants froze and
Barber Wehnes lost his fine collection.
This was the first real cold snap of the
winter, and although the thermometer
showed 20 degrees above zero, the
sharp wind penetrated the marrow
bones of the Washingtonians. Our
houses are not built to keep out cold,
and frigid weather also finds us with
pretty light clothes.
