LOCAL EVENTS. Araiiiax Nkiuth The favorite ar il sts Mr. Smith and Miss Beatrice I.leb and their excellent company will begin a two ninliti' entfttiforaent at Sliively's opera houe next Monday evening, presenting two excellent plays. The Arabian Nights and Uerminie. The . Oregon tan Dec. 10 say: "The ladies and gentlemen composing the Smith Mub company demonstrated an excep tional vernatility lust evening by the ir ability to doir the robes of serious drama for the hilariiy and rolicking fun of a genuine farce-coinodj. The pieee pre sented was that bright particular el fusion of Sidney Grundy's with the rem iuiscent title of "Arabian Nights." That the large audience was pleased with the presentation was potently evi denced by continued rounds of applause and as many curtain calls as there wen acts. "Arabian Nights," is an uproar iously funny comedy, and reminds one for all the world as a close dramatic re lation of "Niobe," 'All the Comforts of Home," "Too Much Johnson," and the many fun provoking absurdities which were conceived for no other purpose than to make one laugh. In this ideal "Arabian Nights" succeeds in no tin cartin measure. Throughout the mass of amusing complications and absurd nonsonse the auditor is kept in delight ful expectation as to what drollery will arise next or how the hero will be able to extricate himself from the multitu dious lies fate seems to force upon him. Prices have been arranged at 25, 90, 75 cents. Seats on sale at Huntley's Wiiolbsalb Fisiusa. The Fall City Fish Co. last Saturday finished blasting out a new channel across the island at the foot of the falls that will carry water enough to operate a fish wheel to be placed in a little cave on the northeast side of the island. The frame for tho wheel is oIbo up and in a Bhort time the "fisher" will be ready for operation. The company is composed of J. P, Lovett, who is to be manager and will put in cold storage and ship the expect ed enormous catch of the wheel ; James Moore, who will furnish the experience and operate the same, and Capt. Archie Pease, who furnishes the capital. If this is successful two more wheels will be put in same place. The promoters are enthusiastic and cite as proof of success the fact that Mr. Moore has stood at this place many a time and 'scooped" from 50 to 75 fish with a dip net. Several wheels have already been built and operated around here without much dividend beinj received on the invest ment. Damon and Pythias.

On Monday afternoon Charles Montgomery killed Hiram Hall, on the west side, about a mile from town, and afterwards came to Chief C. E. Burns and aked to be locked up, saying he was afraid. He would not tell anything until he was in jail, when he admitted having shot Hiram Hall in the back with a rifle, Coroner Holman, Dr. Bomers and Mr Burns immediately left for the scene of the crime and they there found Hall lying dead near the side of the road. He was brought to town, an examlna tion made and on Tuesday the coroner's jury rendered a veruic. ot intentional shooting. iontgoinery bad last week borrowed $500 on his farm of 00 acres on the west side, and he'and Hall had been to Portland and had a "time" and spent aboftt $150. Montgomery seemed to be under the influence of Hall, who did all the talking in the matter of securing loan. etc. They left that afternoon to see a farmer who was to take them to Siietz, where they were to start a sa loon, but they did not secure the ser vices of the farmer and on the way back, Montgomery claims Hall shot off his gun near his head, which seemed to scare Montgomery and shortly after he shot Hall in the back. Montgomery was warned by his uncle, John Shan non, to steer clear of Hall, who was "no good" and barely made a living, Hall leaves a wife and child and was about 25, while Montgomeey Is but 21 Hall belonged to the A.
