Then commenced riotous scenes
about the place. Tromley would
become intoxicated on the wine
kept in the house and then go ou,

threatening to kill, and making q
general nuisance of himself. This
conduct so exasperated the citizens
of the town that Tromley was treat
ed to coat of tar and feathers, and
upon his return was lodged in jai
on a charge of threatening to kill.
The firm of HI. Wehrung & Sor

Cured within short distance of
the Harvey house, at the regular
fording place OF the Santiam River,
where the water is very shallow and
not considered dangerous in the
least, caused some apprehension of
foul play, but when all the facts
were ascertained by the coroner, the
suspicious we're dissipated.
Mrs. Harvey was visiting at the
home of Everett Knox, short dis
tance from the Boner ranch, on
which the Harveys live, and across
the river. There is no bridge SPAN
ming the Santiam River at this
point, but the water is very shallow
and residents of the neighborhood
are accustomed to ford the stream.
Mrs Harvey successfully crossed
the Santian while en- route to the
Knox home. When che started to
return 10 her home about the mid
die of the afternoon, Mrs. Harvey
carried basket of fruit and had
gathered up the front of her apron
and placed some plums and pears
lin the bag formed by the apron. 1t
is thought she lost her footing while
encountered with this load, and was
unable to right herself in the swift
but ahallow water until she became
weak from strangulation and final
ly succumbed.
Her body was found a short dis,
tance below the ford in the rapids
and bore no signs of violence other
than would have been sustained
from the rocky bed Of the stream.
Mrs. Harvey's tracks were traced
from the Knox home to the edge of
the river. The place where she
had sat down to remove her shoes
and stockings and the place of en-
tering the water were also found.
Mrs. Harvey was 35 years of age.
She is survived by husband and
two children, girl aged 16 years
and boy aged II years.
