COLLISION AT SEA.
Fred Nif1er and Emma Kohler Aboard. the
La Bourgogne.

Fred Nif1er and Emma KOhler Aboard. the
La Bourgogne.
In the collision between the La
Bourgogne and Cromartyshire on July
4th, two passengers on the Bourgogne
were recent residents. of The Oalles.
One, Fred Niffler, was saved, while the
other. Miss Emma Kohler, has not
been heard from and in all probability
was drowned.
Mr.. Neff1er was an extensive sheep
raiser and during the last few years
was associated in business with Otto
Kohler. They shipped several train
loads of sheep to Earstern markets
last year. Mr.. Niffier has been resi-
dent of Wasco county for over ten
years and was going on visit to his
old home IN Switzerland.
Following was an interview after be-
ing rescued: Fired Niff1er, Swiss,
was the most joviai and contented of
all the unfortunate passengers. He
lost all his money and clothes, with
the exception of pair of pants and
shirt. but he laughed, now and again
cursed the frenzied sailors with pas
sionate earnestness. Niffler got into
life boat with some others, and remain
ed there until it reached the water,
when he thought it was time to leave.
None of the sailors attempted to let
the boat loose. He swan for long
time before he was picked up. He saw
an Englishman attempt to get into
boat, but the men in the boat, who
were sailors, of the La Bourgogne, hit
him on the head with the end of an
oar. He fell back and sank"
Miss Kohler worked for some time
at the residence of Chas. Phillips and
has numerous friends in the city. She
was on her way to Switzerland to visit
her mother who is quite feeble.

Resolued, That vote of thanks be
ard is hereby rendered to Capt. Lewis
for his valuable services in further
ance of the celebration, and that this
resolution be entered upon the min
utes of this meeting and given to the
