Two Wrecks,

In the year 1891 two young men came
to Dufur from Fresno, Cali, in search
OF work Both were well dressed and
bore the marks OF good breeding and ed
ucation in their countenapces, One was
q skilled jeweler and had q set of jewell
er's tools with him. They easily secured
temporary employment, but the first
day one was taken ill, His friend had
him taken to shelter and Tor several days
provided for his sick companion by sac
rlhcing trinkets Of his own. The sick
man was removed to a hotel and had
the best OF medical skill and nursing,
his companion hardly leaving his side
for necessary rest, but all to no avail for
in little over a week Ed Albaugh died in
his friends arms and lies buried III the
cemetery oyer the hill, Pride would
not allow the survivor to have his dead
friend buried at the expense Of strangers,
50 he sold his own jewelers. tools and ali
personal belongings to pay expenses Of
the Illness and funeral. This man who
showed so much nobleness of character
was d. h. Carmichael, the same ID. X.

take the $275 from the dead body OF his
mother who was drowned at the wreck
of the Weeott at Humbolt Bar, Cali,

IL is -ssd stoA y tliEt Hlfr III the last
seven years in the lives OF this young
man and his mother, story seldom
equaled in the complete ruination OF u
noble man by alcohol or the devotion OF

who have watched the curtain rise and
fall on the different acts Of this tragedy

noble woman gave up her elegant home
and family in Nebraska and spent the

all recognized to be beyond reformation
except his mother, who nursed him out
of delirium and took him repeatedly to

there year or more. This last and

the jetty and the unfortunate woMan
