Two miners recently arrived from
Colorado we're poisoned one morn
ing while eating their breakfast.
One of them died and the other
survived. A dog was given some of
the bread they had been eating and
was thrown into commissions and died
few minutes later. Dr. Rackerby,
the only physician in the town, ex-
amined the -four from which the bread
was made and found II to contain
chrystals of strychnine. Suspicion
pointed to a Frenchman who had
formerly been in partnership with
the miners and had journeyed with
them from Colorado. II was stated
that he had quarreled with them and
had sworn to kill them. He was
arrested. A court WAS organized
with judge, jury and attorneys.
He was tried, convicted of murder in
the first degree, and duly executed.
While the court was not regular,
and the sentence could not be
regarded as anything other than
lynch law, from statutory stand

still green in tho memory of the few
old timers yet living who operated
there and laid the foundation of

Here is u brief history of Auburn
as told by ono Of the survivors. lie
says:
"Auburn spranR into prominence
as n mining camp In 1862. Gold
WAN discOverd there In 81, and by
tho next spring thousands Of mining
mon from California and other
camps In Oregon had hocked In.
Through the efforts Of w. II. Pack

organize and lay out town, aud on
June IL. TIM first street was run from
Freezeout Gulch to Blue Canyon.
Cabins sprung up, people came from
all points Of the compass to the rich
placer digRings aud Auburn soon
became ono Of the most populous
centers In eastern Oregon.
1T soon became apparent, however,
that tho supply Of water was not
sufficient To carry ON extensive placer
operations, and II company was
formed known as the Auburn Water
with u capital of over 800,
900 to dig II ditch from Powder
River. This was later absorbed by
tho Auburn Canal company through
tho efforts of u man named Crane,
and IN" work completed. II was
thon that mining operations took ON
renewed activity aud the years 90,
"a and 90 were the most prosperous,
tho population nearing the 10, 900
mark, The dividends Of this com
pany amounted to over 1925, 900.
"While those were prosperous
days, and the majority Of the citizens
were law abiding, they were at times
turbulent. There WAS no regularly
organized municipal government
recognized by the state until late In
l 500. aud Judge Lynch constituted
the main judicial authority, though
must say that his rule in the main
was STRICTLY In keeping with all other
tribunals Of justice In the land. In

shot and killed by his mining partner.

such force as to pack it almost in

trains as il they had run into a wall

The trainloads OF passengers cross

One, with SO passengers, has been
stalled in the wild almost unin-

no prospect of relief.
Another near this city is in almost
