OSCAR ADAIR Well Known Portland Lawyer Dead Was Prosecuting Attorney for This District Several Years, and Had Good Record.

A message to the Democat at * four o’clock Monday afternoon conveyed the sad news that Oscar H. Adair, a Portland attorney, well known here was dead after a short illness with pneumonia. He was fifty one years old and a leading at torney of the state. In 1885 he | was appointed by the governor as prosecuting attorney of the district including this and Jay county and in 1886 was elected to the position.

Adair, long one of the most conspicuous members of the Jay county bar. passed away at his home on east Arch street at 2:15 o’clock, Monday afternoon, afterj an illness of less than two weeks. On Tuesday of week before last he acted as a pall bearer at the funeral of John W. Lally. The following day he was taken ill and never arose from his bed. A complication of diseases ensued and two or three days ago he was attacked by pneumonia. Sunday night his death became imminent and every hope that medical skill held out was called into use but to no purpose, jt was only by the use of oxygen that his life was prolonged past the noon hour Monday and’he died surround, ed by his family and a few immediate friends. He is survived by a wife two children, three brothers and a sister-
