A Bad Accident.

All old-timers will remember
Johnny Coins, who for a long time
was in the delivery business in this
city. He has been the victim of a very
unfortunate accident as related by
the Albany Herald of the 18th
inst: Just before noon yesterday
John Coins, son Of Ed Coins, one
of the proprietors of the Magnolia
mills, was working at the top OF
the big wheat bins, and while cross
ing over one of the bins he stepped
on an old iron pipe which was lay
ing across the DIN, his foot slipped
and he fell to the bottom of the
empty bin, a distance of about II
feet, striking on the side Of his head,
cutting a deep cash in the side of
his head and almost severing one of
his ears. 1t was very difficult
task to get him out of the deep bin.
A block and tackle was fastened to
the top gilts in the mill and he was
hoisted out in that manner, and
taken home. DIR. W. H. Davis was
called and attended him. He was
severely hurt, but will probably re-
cover.

periences in the Alsea mountains as

five dogs at present, and one of
them has been with him on all of

Creditors Object.

A case in which the creditors
object to the final account of J.
L. Aiken, executor in the estate
of Peter Mason, deceased, and
attempt to cut down his charges
as executor about $Ioo, to pre-
vent him from collecting COM
missions, attorneys fees, and to
compel him to charge himself
with a certain note of $500 and
interest due from himself to de-
cedent, has been having a hear
ing before Referee E. E. Wilson
for the past four days. E. R.
Bryson appeared for the creditors
and Attorneys ]. H. Wilson and
E. Holgate for the executor,
From the evidence it appears
that some time prior to his death,
Peter Mason took J. L. Aiken's S
note for $500, for money borrow
ed by said Aiken, six acres of
land in Lincoln county being
given as security. Mason made
Aiken executor of his will.
After the death of Mason, his
wife yielded up to Aiken the
note, upon the latter's represen-
tation that contract had been
entered into between himself and
decedent whereby he was to be
released from his debt by deciding
to decedent the six acres of land.
The court, by an ex parte order
released the executor and took
deed to the land. Afterward
when the land was sold at execu-
tors sale it brought but $25.
The estate failed to yield revenue
sufficient to satisfy all claims
against it, and the creditors now
hold that Aiken should be held
for the note and interest, and be
deprived of commissions and at
torney's fees.

profit. We recognize all these
requirements and conform to them.

get better gloves here for the
price than elsewhere.

Arthur o. BOwerSex.

For some IS or 20 years Arthur
O. Bowersox had been a resident of
Benton county, and at the time of
his death he was respected by all
| who knew him. His death occurred
Monday in Salem and the remains
were inferred there Wednesday un-
der the auspices of the Odd Eel
lows, of which order he had been
an active member during life.
The deceased was a native of
Ohio, and was aged sc years when
death overlook him. He owned
small farm a few miles south of
Philomath. In 1888 he was united
in wedlock to Miss Cetta Arm
strong, a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Armstrong, of this county.
Six children were the result of this
union.
Death undoubtedly was the re-
suit of kick he received on the
forehead from horse during
March. Nothing was thought Of
it at the time, and until about two
weeks ago Mr.. Bowersox seemed as
we'll as ever. He then became de-
ranged and was so violent that it
was considered best to transfer him
to Salem for treatment. This was
unavailing and death resulted.
There are many friends and ac-
quaintances in this vicinity who
heartily sympathize with the be-.
reaved relatives.
