Could Not Swim,
Oliver Lee browns in the
Willamette River.
A Distressing Accident Monday Afternoon
-coroner's Inquest.

Oliver Lee, the 13 year old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee of North Salem,
ventured beyond his depth In the
Willamette river and was drowned
about O'Clock Monday afternoon. A
coroner's inquest was held this morn
Ing, the jury finding verdict in ac-
cordance with the testimony Intro
duced.
From the facts elected from the
companions Of the dead boy at the
Inquest this morning, it is learned
that Oliver, having told his sister that
he was going 10 the pOstotfice, joined
Grover Tichenor, Daniel Bright ano
Alva Gage and proceeded to a suitable
place for bathing at point about I Of
a mile above the Labor Exchange
buildings. The river at this point is
quite deep and is considered unsafe
and treacherous, but notwithstanding
repeated warnings, boys persist
In freqaenting the place.
Arrived at the river, Tichenor aud
Bright succeeded In crossing the
stream. Lee was the third to make
the attempt. When about25 feet from
he shore and sixth the distance
across the stream, he began to strug
gle violently and to call for help. His
companions were considerably fright
tned but fearing they might bt
drowned also, not being expert swim
mers, failed to go to their companions
aid but at once started in quest OF ad,
ditional help, one remaining behind
to watch the unfortunate boy In the
stream.
George Richter soon reached the
scene In a boat coming from the
Labor Exchange. He dove for the
body which he succeeded in locating
and bringing to the shore, when every
effort at resuscitation was made but
with no success. The body OF the
boy was taken to the undertaking
parlors Of Coroner A. M. Clough on
State street where they remained last
night.
At 10 a. N. today Coroner Clough
went through the formality of a
coronor's inquest. The following
gentlemen were subpHnaed to act as
jurors: q. II. Lane (foreman,) G.
Churchill, t. JONES', r. A. Kirk, j.
W. Phillips and II. Watson. DR.. r.
Cartwright, who made an examina-
tion OF the.boy, testified there were
no external marks OF violence, and
that The lungs were partly filled with
water. There was no question In
his mind but death was caused by
drowning.
Grover Tichenor, Daniel Bright and
Alva Gage, the companions of the
dead boy, each related simple story
OF the sad accident, each OF which
corroborated the statements made by
the other two.
N. j. Keel, who reached the scene
OF the accident just before the boy
sank for tho last time, testified that

INSANE CONVICT ESCAPES.
John w. Patterson, Of Linn County,
Successfully Eludes the Officers.

John w. Patterson, of Linn County,
Successfully Eludes the officers
John w. Patterson, Who was received
at the state penitentiary July %, 1897,
under sentence Of seven years for The
crime Of rape being convicted at Al
bany, Linn county, and who was on
June 13, 1893, committed TO the in
saDne asylum, succeeded in effecting
an escape from that institution July
5, since which time no trace 'of him
has been found.
convict with six years TO serve. He
made an attempt TO escape soon after
he was taken TO the asylum, and led
the attendants a hard race across
country on a hot, sultry afternoon.
He was tnally overtaken and returned
to the asylum, but the exertion and
heat made him so sick that he was
confined in the intirwary for. special
treatment. HaYing recovered, he
took advantage Of his first opportuu-
ity to regain his liberty, and escaped
on the evening Of July 4, or morning
Of July 5, Attendants at the asylum
have beeu quietly searching for him
10 the vicinity and IN Linn county,
but nothing has been heard of his
whereabouts.
1t has been learned since Patt, r.
sons confinement In the penitentiary
that he served a part Of sentence
in the Illinois state peniteDliary,
but dug his way out and came to Or
egon.
In the community where he resided
Patterson was well thought Of. He
was industrious and law abiding.
He married young woman Of good
family, who Is now a resident Of this
city. He was elected constable of
Scio in 1896, and was serving in that
capacity at the time the rape YVES
committed. A doubt has been ex-
pressed by many who heard the tes-
timony in the case that Patterson
was guilty, the evidence not being
strong against him. Ever since his
incarceration he has been using
every influence he could bring to
bear to secure pardon and has al
ways protested his innocence.
A man answering Patterson's de-
scription was seen in the vicinity of
his Linn county home shortly after
he escaped from the asylum, but ID
not being known that he had escaped,
aroused no undue suspicious In the
minds Of those who saw him. From
inquiry at the asylum this afternoon,
however, it is learned that no trace Of
the missing convict patient has been
obtained since his escape.
1t is hardly probable that Patterson
will be captured. He is unquestion-
ably better acquainted with the
mountains aud canons throughout
the western part of the state than any
other man. He is an old sportsman
and for several years has hunted deer
and other wild game. There is no
question but Patterson resorted to
the "insanity dodge as means Of
placing himself where the matter of
making his escape would not be so
difficult as from the penal institution.
10 this he was quite successful.
