Assassinated at
Baker City, Oregon

Baker City, Oregon, Oct. AT
10:45 O'Clock Monday night ex-Sheriff
Harvey K. Brown was blown almost
to pieces by heavy charge of dyna-
mite as he entered the gate at his home
in this city. His left limb was blown
off close to his body. He was taken to
the hospital, where his wounds were
dressed and everything done to relieve
his suffering.
Mr.. Brown had just returned from
Stiles gulch, where he has mining pro-
perty, and was returning home from
downtown, when the explosion occur
red. AS he entered the gate there was
loud report, an when help arrived he
was found lying on the sidewalk in
mangled condition. The gate, the
large gateposts and part of the fence
was blown into splinters by the heavy
discharge Of dynamite. Every window
in his home was broken and some win
dows across the street.
The report could be heard all over
town, and attracted large crowd to
the scene of the tragedy. The perpe-
traitors of the dastardly deed are not
known, and have left no trace except
a wire which extended from the gate
about % feet north along the fence and
then west about 80 feet in the middle
of the road. 1t is supposed that the
men at the end of the wire watched
flor him, and as he entered the gate
set off the dynamite .
1t is thought that Mr.. Brown has
some idea of the identity of the men
who exploded the bomb, for he was
heard to say before he lapsed into I'M
consciousness: E. Hat Us .a.Fr
They have laid for me and they got
me. - -...---.l-....-....
Mrs. Brown is Frustrated and the
doctors fear that she will not recover
from the awful shock While sheriff
of Baker county Harvey Brown was
diligent in enforcing the law against
saloonmen and gamblers and was laso
detective of no mean ability. He had
been employed on several important
cases and it is though that he knew too
much to make it safe for some men in
this part of the country and they took
this method of trying to have him put
out of the way.
The outrage was similar in manner
of execution to that which resulted in
the death of former Governor Frank
Steunenberg of Caldwell Idaho.

WRECK

BELLAIRE, OHIO, SCENE
FEARFUL COLLISION.
PASSENGER TRAIN CRASHED
INTO REAR OF A FREIGHT
TRAIN.

Wheeling, w. Va, Sept. 29.-Fif-
teen men were killed and a score in
jured, several fatally, at Bellaire,
Ohio, Saturday afternoon, when the
Chicago and Wheeling express on
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad

Ohio; H. Peterson, Hoboken, N. j.;
William Shaw, Wheeling; T. N
Galbraith, freight engineer, Newark
Ohio; r. S. Dunlap, passenger fire
man; four unidentified.
The wreck was due, it is said, to
the failure of an operator to throw q
switch. The west bound freight had
received orders to meet the passen-
ger at the western limits of the Bel
laire yards and was moving slowly
Along the siding where the wreck
occurred, there is sharp curve
which prevents the engineers OF
eastbound trains from seeing more
than few feet ahead. The passenger
train swung around the curve rapid
ly, being three hours late, and
should have gone on in safety on the
main line. The switch to the siding
had not been turned and the train
shot into the freight. The worst
damage was done to the smoker,
which was telescoped by the bag
gage car. Every occupant of the
smoker was injured or killed. The
in the day coach and the
two Pullmans were tumbled from
their seats, but not seriously hurt.
