Edward L. Matlock, sheriff of NOR
row county, died at his home i'm
Heppner Wednesday evening at q
o'clock. His death occurred after an
illness lasting several weeks. during
which have been exhausted all the
skill of the medical profession. and the
latest and best opinions haYe been
secured in diagnosis of the disease.
Sheriff Matlock, all along in good
health, and ATTENDING actively to the
discharge of the duties of his office,
was stricken with a disease called
multiple sarcoma, type of cancer,
and from that time gradually sue
cumbed to its ravages.
During the illness, after physicians
had exhausted their expedients, Mr..
Matlock was taken to Chicago by his
brother, W. F. Matlock, and his son,
Leslie Matlock, where eminent author
tiles made diagnosis, and gave no hope
brought back, and the end awaited by
his family.
Mr.. Matlock was one Of fthe pioneers
of Oregon. He was one of the men
who came into Oregon wnen it was
new ard not yet changed from its
natural wild condition. He had his
part in the work of development, and
he did that work we'll. And his death
takes away a citizen valuable alike to
his own associates and to the general
public.-East Oregonian.

by Commissioners Seufert, Fish,
Phirman. Randall, Dufur and Crossen,
to hear the report of the committee
appointed recently to examine into the
condition of the city property at the
head of Mill creek from which the
water supply is had.
President .Seufert, one of the COM
mittee, reported that a full examina-
tion had been made, and it was found
that there was an abundant supply of
water in the creek if properly handled,
and Recommended that the bitches
be repaired so as to furnish greater
supply during the season when water
is scarce. On motion the committee
was authorized to confer with The
Dalles Lum5ering Co. with reference
to certain water rights and the pro-
position of conveying water thorough
the company's fume.

Mesplie for Compensation for right
of way over his land to supply the
receiving reservoir with water was
referred to Commissioner Dufur, who
was given power to act.

TO RECEIVE THE REGIMENT
A Big Flotilla Will Meet the Soldiers at
Astoria

Big Flotilla Will Meet the Soldiers at
Astoria.
Captain Edwards. of Portland, is ar.
ranging for a grand demonstration on
the Columbia when the Oregon regi-
ment shall return from Manila, and
will congregate the lai gest fotilla of
steam boats ever got together on the
river. He proposes to secure every
passenger boat that goes to Portland,
and have them leave the city on the
day the regiment arrives inside the
harbor. The boats will drop down the
river from Portland until they meet
the transports, then will line up, half
on each side, forming guard as it
were to the incoming vessel.
1t is intended to make rate of one
dollar for the trip from Portland and
return, aud all transportation lines
running into Portland will make
special rates. One of the D. P. & A. N.
boats will be in the feet, and possibly
both, if the locks can be operated by
that time so as to permit the Regula-
tor reaching the lower river. At all
events the D. P. & A. N. Co. will make
special rates between here and Port
land for the occasion.
1t is the purpose to apply the net
proceeds of the big excursion to As
toria to swelling the fund for enter
tanning the soldiers in Portland, the
amount required for this purpose being
estimated at $4,000

been planned. The companies will
camp day at Portland.
That is the plan now, but they will
probably be in camp there for several
days. The state military board has
decided, in view of the Oregon volun-
teers coming home at about the same
time the encanpment was to be held
here, to make the newly organized
companies guard of honor at the re-
ception to the regiment at Portland. T..
This seems to be proper and will save
expense it is believed. The encamp-
ment at Salem is estimated by Adju-
tant-General Tuttle to cost Sl7, 900,
while the rendezvous at Portland he
figures will cost but $1,000. 1t will not
readily appear why the encampment at
Salem would not have permitted just
as much attention being paid the
homecoming regiment. But the
powers that be say not so.
Its looks like little sharp practice
on the part of General Futile to shut
Salem out of an encampment, and
Salem will have to look If we even get

A VICTIM OF ALCOHOLISM.
Mike Sullivan Drank a Pint of WhisKey
and Died from the Effects.

Mike Sullivan Drank a Pint of Whiskey
and Died From the Effects.
Michael Sullivan died suddenly in
Silvertooth's saloon, on last Saturday
morning, from heart failure, brought
about by over-indulgence in drink.
Mike had been drinking heavily since
his arrival in town Two days prior to
his death, but had not complained of
feeling ill. On the morning OF his
death, he got pint bottle of whiskey
at Dial's saloon saying he was going
to leave town. Soon after that he was
seen to empty the bottle at one drink,
while sitting down 10 front OF Dyce's
barn. From there he went to Silver
tooth's saloon, and taking drink
said he was going to sleep. Sitting
down by the table he leaned over with
his head on the table, and was soon
snoring in the manner of a man deep
ly drunk. Silvertooth and Tom Hen
neghan, about three-quarters of an
hour after this, attempted to carry
Mike out of the house, when they dis
covered that he was dead. DR.. Pix
ington was summoned. and found life
to be extinct, although the body was
still warm.
A coroner's jury was empauelled by
Justice Glisan and an inquest held up.
on the body. A number of witnesses
were examined, and the above facts
brought out. DIR. Pilkington oxam-
ined the body but no marks of any
kind were found. and gave his opinion
that deceased came to his death from
heart failure, caused by excessive in
diligence In drink. The jury SO rem
dered their verdict.
The deceased was born in Ireland
40 years ago, but has been in this
country the past 20 years. His sudden
death will be great surprise to the
many who knew good-natured Mike
Sullivan, whose worst fault was his
fondness for strong drink.-Antelope

Drowned In Kiickitat.

A man working for E. Hayes as a
log driver was drowned in Kllckitat
river about four miles above Lyle yes
terday mor1ing at 10 o'clock. Mr..
Hayes has contract for furnishing
saw logs to Rowe & Co.'S mill at Lyle,
and had large drive in the river.
A jam occurred some three miles
above the falls, when party of men
went 70 break it. AS the logs began
to moe the man in the center. whose
name. we have been unable to learn,
was caught between two logs, and
went down into the river. His COM
rades were unable to reach him. hence
being rendered helpless he perished in
the stream. The body probably pas
sed oyer the falls and into the Co.

Saw Mill Burned.

About o'clock yesterday morning
the saw mill in the Cascade noun.
tains l6 miles north of Lyle, belonging
to Hansen & Thompson, of this
place, was destroyed by fire together
with some 2U00 feet of choice lumber
How the fire originated is not known
but as it was steam mill it probably
caught from sparks that had been
smouldering in the sawdust.
The loss is estimated at 81, 300 on
which there was no insurance, and is a
serious blow to Messrs. Hansen &
Thompson as they had only recently
started the mill, having sawed per.
haps 100000 feet of lum ber this season
and had a large number of logs in the
yard, which cannot be utilized unless
the mill is rebuilt The mill. though
remote from transportation, was 10.

A CHASTITY FIND.
Remains nf a Dead Man Discovered far
Up in the Blue Mountains.

q discovered
Up in the Blue Mountains.
A few days ago, while pursuing his
lonely vocation far up the Grand
Ronde river, beyond the last human
habitation, shepherd had his atten.
Uion attracted by the unusual action of
one of his dogs. Supposing some wild
animal was at bay, or the fresh I'll rack
of panther or bear was sented, he
tcautiously approached the place.
Garments that the heavy snow had
pressed to the ground startled his sus-
picion that he was confronted by
chamber of death. The mountains
locked more lonesome than ever, and
the distance from living man seemed
to double. With a strange fear in his
heaft he searched the lonely canyon,
and soon found the mangled remains
of 4an.
Wild animals had torn the flesh
from the limbs, leaving the gristle
and bones exposed. Decays effacing
finger had swept human semblance
from t he face. The empty eye-sockets
mutelN told of the darkness from which
living soul had fed. 1t was miles
and miles along dimly trodden trail
to where people lived. The shepherd
turned from the dead and sought the
living, aDd the occupants of an outpost
cabin was notified of the ghastly find.
They returned with the shepherd. and
then sent man to La Grande, 40
miles away, to notify the authorities.
The coroner came with a jury, and
the inquest was held, but few were
the responses given to their question
ing; only mute things were there. A
coat and vest lay some distance from
the corpse. No shoes were found
