Company has sold $50, 900, ,OOO4l.y
per cent bonds due in 1889 to a
syndicate headed by Kuhn, Loeb

the bonds.
The proceeds from the sale Of
these bonds are to be used for
general purposes. The open win

complete a large amount of i'm

tracking, which has required
considerable amount OF money.
Another element to be consider
ed is the extensive electrification

under contemplation on it's Puget

that the cost of this will entail an
outlay in the neighborhood of $S,-

DISCUSS PLANS FOR
Street IMPROVEMENT
Twelfth Street Property Owners As.
sured Paving viii Be Properly
safeguarded by s. P.

Twelfth street property owners met
last evening at the city hall with tho
street committee Of the city council
aud officials Of the Southern Pacific.
The object Of the meeting was to dis.
cuss plans for the improvement OF
Twelfth street. Roadmaster johnson
told what had already been done and
what was proposed and promised the
property owners that the street would
be fixed so that it would be in much
better shape than il had been for years.
1t was proposed to use heavy planlsine
because concrete had proven failure,
owing to the jar Of the heavy engines,
and 6inch planking would give The com
pany an opportunity TO make needed
repairs. Arrangements had been made
for the proper drainage Of the track,
tiling being installed.
The question Of drainage and the
safeguarding OF the paving already in.
stalled seemed to be the cause Of more
anxiety among the property owners
than anything else. Roadmaster John.
son explained that the paving would be
replaced whore broken and would be
safeguarded by proper abutmcnts.
A number of property owners ap.
peared and gave their views and had
Roadmastcr johnson explain the situa.
tiOn.
Az the conclusion Of the session a
resolution was adopted unanimously
approving the plans Of the Southern
Pacific that plank be used aud the con.
creto on each side Of the railroad kept
in repair and safcguardcd so that water
from the roadbed would not damage It,
The resolution will be reported to The

Escaped Lunatic
Commits Suicide
Dibble Makes Careful Preparations for
Death, Even Putting Padding
Around His Neck.

w. s. Dibble, an insane man who
recently escaped from the asylum here,
was found hanging by the neck at the
end of a swinging rope which was tied
to the branch of a tree located in the
rear of the Madden farm home five
miles east of Salem last night. Coroner
Clough pronounced the cause of death
suicide. p.
The man was evidently determined to
end his life, as indications surrounding
his condition when found showed. He
first tried to end his life by cutting the
artery in his right wrist, but the cut
did not touch the vital cords, and it is
believed the insane man lost his nerve
and, instead Of dying in this manner
hung himself, A four.roll hangman s
knot had been made by Dibble, and be,
fore he had slipped the moose over his
head, he had torn the lining out of his
oVaV anu ehrelully padded the rope so
that it would not "hurt" his neck. His
feet were about foot from the ground
when the members Of the Madden fam.
lily found him.
Before hanging himself, Dibble had
evidently made elaborate preparations
to pass out Of this world. He took of
his shoes, combed his hair, and q crude
cross made of bits of wood was found
hanging around his neck,
Dibble was committed to the asylum
from Mnltnomah county. He succeeded
in escaping for time several weeks
ago, but the asylum authorities run
him down, and brought him back to the
institution. Although close watch
was kept over the man, he slipped away
a few days ago, and up until his dead
body was found last night, the attend.
ants at the asylum did not know whore
he was.
