DISCLAIM CITIZENS REWARD.
Amount is to be Paid to the Father of
Drowned Child,

When J. D. McCready offered
$500 for the recovery of his lost
child, if alive, it was with the idea
that if she was drowned, patro1lers
under his direction would find the
body; that if found by others it
would probably be by accident and
under circumstances which would
entitle the finder to moderate
reward only. A number of citi-
zens, however, believed it best to
offer small unconditional reward
tor the body, expecting that search
on the river would thereby be slim
ulated. S L. Kline suggested the
plan TO members of the church to
which the child and her people
were attached. Members of the
M E church acted upon the plan
by subscription of $25 for the
fund. S. L Kline headed the citi-
zens' contribution with S. w. c..
Lane called On number of bust
ness men for contributions, and in
short time $2o was subscribed,
which with the amount given by
the church, constituted fund of
$54. The amount was offered un-
conditionally for the recovery of
the child.
1t transpired that E. A. Mills
and Edward McCready, uncle and
brother of the unfortunate little one
were the parties to find the body
while patrolling the river, aud who
would be entitled to the citizens
reward. but these gentlemen dis
claimed it. There has throughout
been general disposition among
the people of Corvallis to assist the
bereaved family in every way pos
sible, and contributors to the re-
ward fund. since the finders of the
body would not receive it, insisted
that the father of the girl, J. D.
McCready, accept the amount. 1t
is understood that this arrange
ment for disposition of the fund
has been completed.
