TWO OF THE WRECKED SHIPS.

to rescue six men clinging to the rig
ging of stranded ship, their atten-
ton was called to man and a woman
holding on to the jib of another YES,
sci in literal foam of angry sea. An
effort was made to save them. When
their rescue seemed almost assured
two men who had been washed away
from another ship clutched at a chain
hanging from the jib The weight of
all four of them was too much Some
thing gave way and four more vic
Tins were added to the list of the
dead.
thin rope was drawn out to an
ether vessel so that the crew could
haul heavier one after it. The man
%ho happened to catch it jumped into
The sea and asked to be hauled ashore.
Those whom he had left behind
shouted at him in despair While
tossing about in the sea he lost his
hold on the line Six brave fellows,
among them an African, thought they
could save him. he was so near shore.
In twinkling all of them were lost,
and the man who had tried to save
himself at the expense of his com
panions sank to rise no more.
1t is known at this writing that four
of the vessels that went ashore were
British, six we're German, five Nor

Little could be done to aid them.
On the beach chaos reigned supreme.
Past experience has proved of little
profit in providing an adequate life

this. The boats are antiquated.> When
the gale was in its fury they were
hauled high and dry on the beach, as
useless as so many washtubs. 1t is

How the New Building Was Secured.
Rapid development followed the solid legis-
lative foundation laid for the public library.
On the 18th day of January, 1899, Mr.. An
drew Carnegie, the millionaire steel manu-
facturer and noted philanthropist whose
donations to cities for libraries were then
just beginning to attract wide attention,
came to Washington and called at the White
House. While he was waiting to see Pres
ident Mckinley he was chatting with Mr..
B. H. Warner, a member of the board of
trustees of the public library. Mr.. Warner
explained to him the library enterprise
and Mr. Carnegie straightway offered to
contribute s250,O00 to build a home for the
new library, provided a site for the build
ing could be secured and the support of the
institution insured. The trustees and other
friends of the library lost time in get
ting to work to meet Mr.. Carnegie's requisi
tons. Congress was appealed to; The Star,
as usual, was at work at once, both in its
news columns and on the editorial page.
The advantage of the offer was discussed.

DEATH OF ID. A. SHEPPARD.
Had Been Dead for Some Time
when Found.

D. A. Sheppard, sheeph erder and
eccentric character, was found dead in
his home near the O. r. & N. depot in
this city, Monday morning by James
Stevens, who resides near Sheppard's g
place. Mr.. Stevens telephoned TO
Marshal Geo. Thornton who notified
Coroner Kistner, and the evidence at
coroner's inquest brought forth the
following facts:
Frank Friedrich testified that he saw
Sheppard Saturday afternoon and saw a
light is his house about five O'Clock in
the evening. Did not notice anything
unusual in Sheppard's actions.
James Stevens, nearest neighbor of
the dead man, stated that he saw Shep-
pard Friday morning, just before he
(Stevens) started for the mountains
He returned from the mountains Satur-
day and noticed that Sheppard's g
chickens had not been turned out, and
that cows were running in his yard.
Monday morning again noticed that the
chickens were not turned out. Fearing
that something was wrong, Stevens
went to Sheppard's house Monday
morning and opened the door. Saw
Sheppard lying dead on the floor.
G.. w. Onev said on the witness stand
that he saw Sheppard in Heppner
Saturday evening very much intoxicated.
That Sheppard started for home about
six o'clock in the evening, and asked
Oney to come and see him Sunday.
Oney went to Sheppard's house to fill
his appointment Sunday afternoon.
Knocked on the door, got no response
and went away.
Orva Raby stated that Sheppard en-
ployed him to do some work Saturday.
He finished the work and was paid by
Sheppard.
The coroner's jury returned the
following verdict:
Heppner, Oregon, Dec. %, 1902.
We, the undersigned coroner's jury,
empaneled by the Coroner of Morrow
county, to investigate the cause OF the
death Of d, A. Sheppard, find that from

"Oregon Literature" Prof J. B.
Hornoi's new book now on sale by the
enterprising booksellers, j. X. Gill &
Co., Portland, is a valuable work, es.
pecially to Oregon people. The principal
writer's of Oregon are sketched and
selections from their writings are nicely
arranged. Sam Simpsons beautiful
Willamette" is presented in full and
illustrated with half tones. This is
worth more than the price OF the book
which is only 81. This book will un
doubtedly have large sale for it will
be valuable addition to the home
library. Oregon people who have
pride in Oregon literature, and desire a
handy and complete work of reference
should send to the j. X. Gill & Co.,
Portland, and get copy of the work.

NEW ROAD NEEDHID.
Would Cost But Little to Opcrx
Direct Road to Ukiah.

BY the present wagon road it is &C
miles to Ukiah from Heppner. Ukiah
is so miles from Pendleton. The
difference in distance causes the tr ade
of the Ukiah country to go to Pendleton
BY making seven miles of road at @
cost not to exceed $50 to connect Nortl
Jones prairie with the road at Sugar
Bowl will make direct road from Hep
pner to Ukiah, cutting off 21 miles O.
the distance and making much better
road.
w. O. Minor stated to the GAZETTE
that he had been over this proposed
new road with wagon, and there is nc
grade to speak OF. 1t would not be q
difficult task to extend the road from
wagon road up Willow creek, recently
constructed by the Heppner Railroad &
Coal Company. This would save three
miles more, making the distance Onl~-
about SO miles, and the road would Js
good enough for heavy freighting, Il
fact just as good as the road from UEiac
to Pendleton. This would also redUos
the distance from Heppner to Leh mer
Springs.
S. +. Clark, OF Ukiah, who was ir
this city, Saturday, in speaking OF tbs
matter said:
Il would rather come to Heppnet
to trade for it is better market for ouz
produce. If this road is made in the
spring, it will bring me to Heppne,
about once a week next summer =
market my butter and produce"

Shipments of Cattle.

T. a. Rhea returned Friday evening
from the Butte Creek country. He says
that a large number of cattle are now
being fattened on alfalfa along this
tream at the present time. During
the past week Waldon Rhea, Harry
Rogers, Chas. McBee, Jesse Moore,
Robert Stanfeld and Asa Thompson
have sold about 300 head of beef cattle
at four cents on foot.
This is little early to be turning off
beef cattle and the price is considered a
good figure considering the tact that the
cattle are being turned off so early.
Geo. Vincent has contracted to deliver
go head, a par. of the lot to 20 on
January 10, at 4 cents and the balance
to be delivered on the first of March at
4 > cents.
The market tor beef cattle at the
present time is encouraging. A promi-
nent stock man stated to the GAZETTE
that he believed prices would advance
to cents per pound by the first Of
April.
John McCarty shipped a carload of
cattle from lone to Portland this week.
The prices were four cents on foot.
Most of the recent shipments have
gone to the Union Meat Company at
Portland. \ few OF the cattle have been
sent to the Sound.
