MILITIA CALLED OUT.
The First Regiment, o.. n. g., Sent
Down the Columbia.
Today's Oregonion says:

Today's Oregonion Gays:
The First regiment, Oregon, National
Guard, Colonel Summers commanding,
was scheduled to leave for Astoria at an
early hour this morning, and will take
a hand in suppressing the scenes of vio-
lence and outrage which have marked
the course eff the fshermen's strike on
the Columbia river. 1t was accompa-
MED by battery A, with full field equip
ment and the various regimental corps.
The troops were called out on a requisi-
ton made by the mayor of Astoria,
through the county judge of Clatsop
county, upon Governor Lord. The gov
ernor Immediately notified brigade
headquarters in this city to assemble the
post, equipped with all the parapherna-
liza for field service and one days cooked
rations. 1t was suggested also that each
man be provided with an extra pair of
stout shoes, ready for active field SER
vice, and that the regiment and battery
be held prepared to leave Immediately.
This was at 10:30 last night. The or
ders were communicated Immediately
from brigade headquarters to Colonel
Summers, and he began to assemble the
members of the post. The D. R. & N.
Co. was notified also to hold steamboat
in readiness for instant departure. The
orders caused a great commotion, not
only at the armory, but throughout the
city. Men on bicycles and horseback
were dispatched to the homes and places
of business of the various members of
the seven companies and the battery.
All were told to report forthwith to the
armory, ready for duty. The various
corps attached to the regiment were in
cluded.

ONLY AN. ARTlsT,s pREAM.
Picture ON the Drop Curtain Mistaken
for The DalIes and Surroundings.


There has been much speculation on
the part of audiences at the New Vogt
as to-whether the drop curtain repre-
sents The DalIes and its mountain SUR
roundings. The picture of the city is of
course fanciful, representing the ancient
Grecian style of architecture, and the
steamer in the foreground is much too
ponderous to be good imitation OF the
Regulator. However the appearance of
of the mountains and the river and the
situation of the city. as depicted on the
curtain. presents q general view similar
to the existing topography surrounding
The Dalles, but q minute inspection
fails to confirm the impression that it is
copy of nature. The entire picture is
creation, though the artist came so
near reproducing nature that it must be
considered a remarkable coincidence
The fact is that the artist was only in
the city half hour before painting the
scenery. He was then here only for
business, and had he been inclined for
sketching the day was drizzling with
rain, and he would have been unable to
do SO. The conclusion is that The Dalles
with its surroundings is fit subject for
the artists brush. The picture he cre-
ated might be such one as he would
produce from memory after years of alb
sence, and conscientiously endeavoring
to make true copy. 1t is a fact, how
ever, and a very com plimentary one,
that the grand landscape shown on the
drop curtain, though bling the city
and surroundings SO nearly as to deceive
many who have lived here for years, was
only an artists dream.

BART coNRox KILLED.
Ais Only Thought Was of His Family
The Cor@er's Inquest.

Bart T. Conroy, better known among
his friends as ''Buck'' Conroy, was
fatally injured at 5 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon near Arlington.
II He was braking on the worktrain,
(which is engaged in filling in the track
four miles west of Arlington. While
setting the brake, the iron that holds it
in place gave way, and with it he fell
between the cars. He fell outside the
track, except his right leg, which was
crushed and torn from near its junction
with the body. When found directly
after he remarked: 'Well, boys, 1
stayed with the wheel, and have got It
with me" /" and such was the case. The
poor fellow still had the brake wheel in
his grasp when the crew ran to his aid.
The remark is thought to have indicated
his thought that he realized his injury
was fatal, and with an unselfishness
seldom encountered, his last thoughts
were of his family and their mainte-
nance after he had breathed his last,
and he desired to retain the wheel as
evidence of the cause of his death.
He was at once carried to the caboose,
and taken to Arlington and in
an incredibly short time DR.. Gels
endorfer of Arlington was sum-
moned, who did everything in his power
for the injured man. He was brought
to The Dalles, arriving here about s
O'Clock. In the judgment of the doctor,
he was sent to Portland. the company
kindly furnishing a special car and loco
motive. But he never reached that city
alive. He died about 1915 at Clarnie,
the first station out from Portland.
With him was his sorrowing wife, who
was notified of her husbands misfor-
tune at The Dalles and promptly came
to his side.
Mr.. Conroy leaves two children. the
older only three years of age. The
younger is an infant of four months.
The deceased was widely known in
the city as sober, industrious man,
kind to his family and was universally
liked. He has been unemployed regu-
larly for about three years, and was an
extra-man, filling in his time at other
kinds of work as be could get it. For a
time he worked on the Vogt building.
At z o'clock this morning his body
was brought home from Portland by
special, and at IL o'clock Coroner Butts
held an inquest on the remains.
THE VERDICT.
A verdict was arrived at by the jury
at 3 p. M, and is as follows:
! We the jury impaneled by w. H.
1 Pratt &c
quire into the cause of the death of the
body now before ne, find as follows:
That the name of said deceased was
B. I. Conroy, resident of Dalles City,
Oregon, a married man of the age of 81
years; that he came to his death on the
evening of June Is, 1886; that the cause
of his death was defective brake staff
on gravel car No. 504, which brake the
