E. S. Ford, alias E. S. French, who
served in Colfax a few months ago as
Western Union telegraph operator, was
arrested Monday at South Prairie on
warrant issued from Park City, U. T.,
on a charge of grand larceny! Further
developments make it appeor that he is
wanted in New Yotk etate for robbing
an uncle.
Florence, Lane county, is making ac
tive strides of growth. The completion
of the jetty, now in active construction,
will give Florence a good harbor, and
with the construction of a railroad to
Eugene, Lane county will have a lively
seaport city. ' It will be an advantage to
farmers, the same as to those who can
ship their wheat via Yaquina.
Justices of the peace do not cut much
figure in this Etate, as the supreme court
has held that an action for any amount
can be brought in the superior court.
According to this decision the poor just
ice of the peace holds an office in name
but is really out of a job. This, says the
Catholic Gazette, is the judicial way of
getting rid of "a' "relic of barbarism"
6imply outvoting them.'
J. J. Caffee, of Stanley, Pacific county,
publishes a singular letter in the Pacific
Journal, in which he Informs his friends
that should he be found dead, or disap
pear in some mysterious manner, they
will find a letter in his safe that will tell
them the cause. He states that his life
has been threatened, and if anything
happens to him he hopes his friends will
bring the guilty party to justice. .
A team of horses belonging to Dean
Blanchard was instantly killed under
very peculiar circumstances at Ranier
few days ago. A tree that was being
felled by some woodsmen was 6wung
around by the wind, fell across the head
of one and the neck of the other animal
and then sprung back, and now stands
about eight feet above where the team
stood.
The house of Cash-Cash, an old and
well-known Indian, formerly judge on
the Umatilla reservation, was destroyed
with nearly all its contents by fire, Fri
day forenoon. The fire is said to have
resulted from a red-hot stove. So rapid
was the spread of the flames that but
few things could be saved. The house
had five rooms, and was the best built
on the reservation by an Indian. There
was no insurance, and the loss is quite a
severe one for Judge Uasn-Uasn.
Hillory Butler, of Seattle, will pay to
the board of county commissioners $25,-
000, the amount being in settlement of
one of three suits in which -King county
is plaintiff and Gtorge D. Hill and his
bondsmen are defendants. This is
probably due to the fact that recently he
sold a valuable piece of property, but
payment for the same has been refused
until the claim of the county against him
is settled. He will pay the total amount
of the claim, $25,000, and will then come
back at' his fellow-bondsmen to secure
the return of their proportion.
V lctor Raymond applied for work at
the home of Hardee Mansfield, near
Athena, and was referred to a place
where he might get a job. Hardee then
rode away, being ready to start to town,
but kept watch of the fellow, whom he
saw enter the house of Frank Mansfield,
which was unoccupied. He there stole
some blankets, provisions, and a fur cap,
and was making off with the plunder
when Hardee rode back and arrested
him at the point of a shotgun. .The
prisoner was commited to jail in Pendle
ton to await the action of the grand jury.
While J. H. Gauntlelt, of Brandon,
was sitting at his table eating his din
ner last Monday, says the Brandon Re
corder, the wind carried a limp about
two inches in diameter by two feet long,
from a tree standing about 135 feet south
of his house, and hurled it through the
upper sash of the window, scattering the
glass over the ho.use'and clearing his
table of its contents without ceremony.
Mr. Guntlett says the limb passed so
close to his head that it seemed as
though he felt it pass. After wrecking
his dinner, the limb passed on, striking

room. .

soon as transport by steamer becomes

Late Mexican News.
Sax Feaxcisco. Dec. 21. Carlos Sep-
ulveda, of Mexico, says that corn crops
in the northern portion of the country
have been such a failure this season that

from the United States.
A large amount of English capital is
coming into the countrj-, the greater

Have Glren Up the Fight.
Chicago, Dec. 21. It has been learned
that the American Live Stock Commis
sion Company, which has been fighting
the livestock exchanges throughout the I
country for three years past on the ques
tion of exhorbitant commissions, has de
cided to throw np its hands and aban
don the fight. How expensive the fight
has been may be surmised from the fact
that for the last year the combine has
hot paid a dividend, and there is a de
ficit on the year's operations of $21,000,
despite the enormous profits from hand
ling stock.
Guns for the Chinese Frontier.
London, Dec. 21. Advices received
from Lung Chow etate that the general

ceived a consignment of European
breech-loading cannon which were sent

teen vessels, however, which were car
rying the guns were wrecked on the voy
age, and their cargo has not yet been
recovered from the water. The general
has secured hve guns, lhey are in
tended for forts on the Tonquin-Chinese
frontier.
