Alfred "Fred" Matthews

M, b. 21 April 1879, d. 23 March 1939
  • Note*: He had no children.
  • (Witness) Census: He appeared on the census of 19 June 1880 in the household of Isaac N. "Ike" Matthews at Mount Scott, Douglas County, Oregon.
  • (Witness) History: Alfred "Fred" Matthews witnessed Charles Rice Killed at Mt. Scott Sunday
    Sunday evening about 5:30 news came to town that on the baseball grounds at Mt. Scott, Sunday afternoon, James Dixon, a young man about 17 years of age, had shot and killed Charles Rice, a young man about 23 years of age.
    Owen Atterbury, a constable of that precinct, was present and saw the shooting and immediately arrested young Dixon without a warrant and brought him to town last night, and he is still in Mr. Atterbury's charge.
    From Mr. Atterbury, who witnessed the shooting, we learn that these two young men had had difficulty before this, and a small provocation, it seems, revived the old feud. It appears that some misunderstanding concerning the ball game awakened old ill feelings and a few hot words were interchanged between them, when Rice was heard to say he would thresh Dixon, and immediately began to take off his coat, while threatening Dixon. At this Dixon drew his pistol from his pocket and shot Rice twice, killing him almost instantly. Owen Atterbury, the constable of Mt. Scott, who has had Dixon in charge, procurred a warrant this morning from Justice Hamlin and placed Dixon under arrest as provided by law.
    This is another disagreeable affair in our county that is sure to be annoying to all parties involved and is deeply deplored by all good citizens. As this affair will be brought into court and tried according to the process of law the Plaindealer forbears making any comment, pro or con, with regard to justifiable or unjustifiable homicide, believing newspaper trials do not subserve any good purpose. We give the account of the affair as reported by the constable, Mr. Atterbury, who brought Dixon to the city last night, as before stated, and await the result as the courts shall dispose of it in due time.
