FLETCHER CASE DISMISSED.
Not Responsible for the Death OF Mrs. Hate
OF Forest GrnNe.

Not Responsible for the Death OF Mrs. Hatch
Of Forest Grove.
At Hillsboro, last week the demurrer
TO the complaint in the case Of John
Hatch, minor, against S. w. Fletcher
of Mccoy, for $4,000 damages, was ar
gued in the circuit court. This is the
case which resulted from the death Of
Anna Q. Hatch, Of Forest Grove, and
the plaintiff contended that Fletcher was
responsible for her death, and he had
been actually damaged in the sum OF
$4,000, and asked for $4,000, additional, as
vindictive damage.
The attorneys for Fletcher contended
that no cause Of action existed; that il
any wrong was done TO Mrs. Hatch, it
was with her consent, and that in such
cases the law does not provide right of
action in an heir or administrator. II
is claimed that II any cause of action
existed it abated with the death Of Mrs.
Hatch. The court sustained the de-
murrer, and stating that the case did not
admit of amendment, dismissed the
action. Fletcher, voluntarily appeared
in the action.

TERRIBLE DEATH.
A Native Wharf Hand Crushed by
Heavy Machinery.

A native, Enoka by name, employed
IN dlscharginS machinery from the
schooner Robert Levers at the old fish
market wharf, met q horrible death
yesterday afternoon. A heavy piece of
machinery fell against the side of the
vessel, catching the unfortunate man
and crushing him terribly. Enoka had
been standing between the schooner
and the great piece of iron which was
being hoisted on to the dock when the
gear broke, the heavy machinery
swung suddenly back and the man was
pinned to the vessels side. The schoon-
er had to be moved out from the wharf
in order to free the body. Enoka was
struck in the abdomen. The patrol
wagon was summoned to remove Emo
ka to the hospital but he died before he
could be taken there.

work by the old method, which has been
in vogue here since the beginning.
