At the court house Wednesday morning during the session of circuit court the people in attendance were startled by seeing a man in the audience suddenly throw himself backward in his seat with a groan and then collapse in a senseless heap on the floor. Help quickly reached him, and he was lifted up and carried into the corridor, where it was found that he was past all earthly help. It was supposed that heart disease or apoplexy was the cause of his sudden death, but nothing can be determined definitely as to this before the inquest, which will be held this evening. His name as we learn from Mr. Hans, is U.S. Becknall, and he is a member of the local carpenter's union, 26 years of age, single, and a native of Ohio. Mr. Becknall has been in the employ of Mr. Louis Ostland, the contractor, for some time, was a steady workman and held in high esteem by his associates. His sudden and tragic death so far away from relatives and loved ones will be a sad blow to them. -- Wasco Sun.

Saturday, Nov. 19th, Mrs. Julia Howell, aged 23 years 2 months 9 days. The funeral took place from the Barrett residence Sunday afternoon, the body being interred beside that of Mrs. Barrett's father, the late Velorus Hodge, in a beautiful spot on the farm.
Mrs. Howell was the only child of Dr. and Mrs. P.G. Barrett, and was married to Mr. O. Howell August 9th, 1891. Soon after the wedding she accompanied her husband to Truxillo, Honduras, and her bright and convincing description of the country furnished the Denver papers, did much to counteract the influence of the flood of misleading and untruthful circulars concerning that country which were scattered broadcast throughout the United states. She was a bright and ____ writer, possessed of fine descriptive powers; a talented musician, possessing a sweet and well trained voice, and that added to a vivacious disposition and sunny temperament made her a universal favorite. Besides her beloved husband and parents, she leaves twin boys aged but a few weeks and to them all the sympathy of the entire community is extended.
