LIFTED A STONE.
And Blood vessel Burst IN
Brain Passing Of J. P.
McBee-
Pioneer.

The funeral of the late J. P.
McBee. one of the substantial citi-
zens OF Benton county, occurred
from the family residence near In
dependence school house Sunday.
The interment was in Newton's S
cemetery, and was attended by a
large concourse of relatives and
friends. The funeral service was
conducted by Rev. M. S. Bush.
Mr.. McBee died Saturday morning.
after an illness of only a few days.
The cause of death was an abscess
On the train. and is believed to have
been caused by the rupture of a
blood vessel sustained while Mr..
McBee was lifting heavily during
the removal of a oodshed. He
was about his duties as usual after
that, but week before his death
he became violently ill and in spite
of medical aid, finally succumbed.
A short time before the end he be-
came partially paralyzed.
Mr.. McBee was a thrifty farmer,
and was one of the biggest land
owners in the county. He was
born in Ray county, Missouri, Sep
tember, I 1S4o. He came to Ore
gon with his parents, travelling by
|ox team across the plains in 1852,
aud settled On the old dona-
ton clain in the Willamette
river bottom, dozen miles
south of Corvallis. About 1870
he moved on his own home place
on the prairie, where he resided un-
til his recent occupancy of the
farm home near Beu1ah church.
He was brother of Joseph and
w. H. McBee and of David McBee,
of Lane county, and a sister of Mrs.
T. w. B. Smith of Benton. The
surviving members of the family
are, besides the widow, Edna and
Elsie. daughters. and James and
William, sons. Mr.. McBee was
an excellent citizen, and an honor
able man.

IT'S BAD LUCK.
Mishaps, Accidents and De.
lays Followed it, Ending
With Collision.

For live serial story in accidents
and mishaps, the Southern Pacific
train on which S. L. Kline journey.
ed home from San Francisco, and
which finally reached ALBANY Sun
day deserves commendation. It
was train that ill luck seemed to
follow, and it is the wonder of the
passengers now as they look back
that something desperate didn't
happen. After Hornbrook was
reached the trains progress was a
continued chapter of accidents. A
telegram at Hornbrook, ordered the
train to remain there for further
orders on account of a wreck. At
ter four hours a start was made,
and by and by the scene of the
wreck was reached. A magnificent
locomotive ofthe largest type and
II freight cars were piled up in a
splintered and incongruous mass.
The operatives had lost control
OF the freight train and it had run
away down the Siskiyou mountain
side. At the first sharp curve the
big speeding locomotive had left
the track taking the cars with it,
killing the engineer and brakeman
and injuring others. That was
the beginning of the delays and
mishaps. After that came an ac-
c1dent in which the train ran over
man. He was on the track and
was struck by the cow catcher.
Half an hour was spent in getting
him on the train and in trying to
keep the heeting life in him.
Whether or not he died, the pas
sengers did not learn. At Rose
burg they took on a new locomo-
tive and after they had journeyed
nine miles something in it gave
way, and the train had to stop and
wait for another engine to be
brought from Roseburg to take
them along their way. At Juncticu
an exactly similar difficulty was en-.
countered, and another considerable
delay was occasioned as a result.
But all these experiences were tri-
fling compared to another hair
raising accident that overlook them.
When train is behind time, lots
fittings go wrong. In this instance
a freight train was travelling on the
passengers time. 1t was a train
drawn by three locomotives. Fin
ally as precaution one of the To-
comotives was sent ahead to flag
the on-coming passenger, 1t col
lided head on into the train it was
looking for, and both locomotives
were demolished. Both engineers
were severely injured, but the pas
sengers escaped unhurt. Mr..
Kline finally got home with all his
bones intact and his neck unbroken
and is correspondingly thankful
that the ill-omened journey is all
over, and that it was no worse.

GOT. IN CORNER.
With Passing Train on One
Side and Fence on Other-A
Travellers Experience.

Tom Vidito has numerous bruises
and scratches about lis person, and
by that token there Is story to
tell. He was enroute from Albany
to Corvallis Saturday evening, be.
ing alone in buggy. At the
prune farm the railroad crosses the
road and in such a way that the
track and the adjoining fence on
the right hand side of the road COM
ing this way form a letter v. AS
Tom was just starting to cross the
track he discovered suddenly that
the evening train was almost up
on him. There was not time to
cross ahead of it. Nor was there
time to get out of the V-shaped
corner. He leaped from his buggy
and seized his horses by the bride
bits. Taking fright at the train,
they reared and plunged, seeming
ly determined to throw themselves
against the passing cars. Tom
was finally dragged under their
feet, in which position he received
the bruises referred to. He hung
however, to the reins. and between
the fence the cars and himself, the
horses were forced to stand until
the last car passed, though their
protest against the proceeding was
as violent as it was constant. Nc
damage was done beyond the weai
and tear on Toms hide, which ma.
tnre will attend to in time. The
unaccountab1e in the affair is how
Mr.. Vidito allowed the train to gel
so near him. since he solemnly
AYERS that while he knows he
will be accused of it, not one dro1
of Albany bootleg figured in the
incident.

CORVALLIS, OREGON,
TUESDAY EVENING JULY ~, 1906.
MORE DOTAGE WANTED.

If, as Senator Fulton says, Sec
retary Hitchcock is in his "dotage"
DR.. Osler is badly mistaken man.
With Hitchcock as the test, it is
not old men Tin their dotage" that
ought to be chlcroformed, but rath-
er some Of the young men like Pu-
ter, Mckinley, and kindred ilk.
What the layman knows of Secre'
tary Hitchcock is, that the limit OF
his offending seems tohave been the
prosecution of certain persons who
had robbed the people of Oregon OF
vast tracts of the public domain.
The scandal of this robbery and
pillage was everywhere bruited be-
fore the prosecutions began, and ev-
cry where there was scanning otthe
horizon for some strong arm that
would put an end to it. Even then
it was believed that persons in
high places were in league with
the robbers and that dislodgement
of the criminals from their strong
holds and prosecution of them
would be we'll nigh impossible. Il
was then that the old man they now
say is in his dotage appeared, and
the result of his probity and intrep
idity is men, in highest places o1
public confidence and honor un'
masked, confronted with thel'
guilt, charged with their criminal
ity by prosecutors, convicted OF 1t
by juries, and condemned fol it by
courts. If Mr.. Hitchcock had moi
done these things, would Senator
Fulton have done it. and by it have
saved the little of their public do
main that was left to the people o.
Oregon?
If what Secretary Hitchcock ha:
done is because of "dotage" ther
God save to US the men who are III
their dotage, and give us more
of them.
