as reward for his services in
helping to elect Mckinley last fall.

DEATH OF JUDGE BRYSON.
He Expires in New York From the
Effects of a Cancer, and
Surgical Operation.

end came in New York hospital
at half past four o clock yesterday
afternoon, and the brief telegram
that brought the unwelcome in
telligence states that ths transition
from life to the Beyond was peace
full and painless. A few days
previously Judge Bryson had sub
mitted to surgical operation, hav-
ing received assurance from the at
tending surgeons that there was a
fair prospect of restoration to
health. While, however, in the
midst of their work the surgeons
discovered that the stomach, intes-
times and other vital organs were
seriously affected with cancer, and
that death could not long be de-
layed, though the first information
given out was to the effect that
Judge Bryson, after three weeks in
the hospital, would be able to start
west and reach his home and Cor
wallis friends perhaps weeks
or months before the end. Shortly
after came the news that Rock Bry-
son, son attending the state Uni
versity at Eugene had been wired
to proceed at once to New York,
and shortly following that came
another dispatch bidding his son
goodbye" and announcing that
he could not possibly reach the bed
side BEFORE the end. After that
Corvallis friends knew that the
family group on the other side of
the continent-ailing husband, wife
and son, were merely waiting for
the lite thread to snap, and when
the fatal news arrived early yester-
day afternoon, there was no surprise
nothing but regret and kindly
words of sympathy.
The operation was the second that
had been performed on Judge .Bry-
son in the hope Of affecting a cure
of his malady. The first happened
in Portland during February, and
for a brief time promised relief.
The despela late character of his all
ment that had a firm hold on his
was not then understood.
The malady that ended in his
death first made its appearance ear
ly last autumn. 1t was from the
first painful and many weary days
and nights the sufferer spent in
silent ard uncomplaining struggle
with his pain. The failure of the
first operation to restore strength
and health warned both the Judge
and his friends that his case was
most serious in character. His last
days in Corvallis before the depar-
ture on April 3oth for New York
were spent in winding up lis busi-
ness affairs preparatory to dropping
them forever. The business of his
clients was carefully gone over and
such disposition made of them that
no complications could arise in case
of fatal finale to his trip. His
will was made, and property of
which he was joint owner was deed
ed to his partner so that sale could
be affected without going through
the delay of the courts. With a
few people he talked calmly of his
condition and discussed in undis-
mayed tones the chances of death.
He knew when he left that the
chances of return to the home of
his active years was as improbable
as probable, but he met the awful
reality with the fortitude of a phil
osopher. He arrived in New York
May Sth, and the operation was
undertaken two days later.-Cor-
wallis Times.

and the destruction was terrific The
enemy's decks were flooded, and the
blood ran out of the scuppers-her cock
pit filled with the wounded. For few
minutes, shrouded in smoke, they fought

set on fire by the enemy's forward bat
terry, and part of the crew were called
away from the guns to extinguish the
threatening blaze. = Barnes Naval

the benefit the big gathering will be to

no much aid may be expected from that

it would b. greatly bent fitted by the
gathering Of people from all over the

The next years tournament bids fair to
