J. B. Crossen has a .keen perception of
the natural fitness of things. Caring
the recent cold snap he kept a barrel of
red peppers just outside of his store
door.
The sun has shone brightly here all
day, and if it were not for the snow it
would require no great stretch of the
imagination to think that spring was at
hand.
Today the Snelling and Maloney cases
will be argued in the supreme court at
Salem. Hon. E. B. Dufur is in that
city, and will make the argument for

At the time Saunders was convicted of
killing Charles Campbell at Albany in
1887, it was asserted that he was en
gaged to be married to a sister of Miss
Mattie Allison, about whom the quarrel
that culminated in Campbell's death
originated. It now transpires that
Saunders had a wife in Texas at that
time.
Judge Stephens of Portland made an
order yesterday requiring the jury in
the "Bunco Kjelly" case to appear be
fore him tomorrow for examination.

their discussion of the case during the

were in violation of the orders of the
court.
Two large eeals have been sunning
themselves on the ice in the rjver near
the Umatilla House, all day. The sup
position is that they crawled up on one
of the pieces of floating ice, and as the
latter struck the head of the jam and
was soon surrounded by other pieces,
they were unable to get back into the
water.
The report was circulated on the
Btreets today that the local passenger

this morning, but the service will be
continued, just the eame.

will be the next thing' in order. How
' ever she. inputs that phe can do poif
Nature has not already been too gener
ous in distributing her favors.

The Carlisle currency bill was knocked
out yesterday by a vote 124 for and 129
aeainst. This is a decided victory for
the silver men. ' v ,
The enow is in excellent condition for
snow-balling today, as many a person
who has "trot It" in the back of the
neck, or had his hat knocked off, can
testify. ' ,
It is almost certain that the Pacific
Insurance Union will go to pieces in the
very near f attire. When it does there is
going to be a wild scramble for business
and a reckless slashing of rates.

lot of preliminary work and examining

Yesterday the big boiler used at the
pumping station at uascaae .locks, ex
ploded with terrific force. -At the time
there were quite a number of men, prob
ably sixty, in the immediate vicinity of
the 'boiler, and though fifteen of these
were thrown to the ground, no one was
injured.
Five hundred dollars expenses for
bringing a prisoner from Harney county
to Portland in order to try him for sell
ing a pint of whiskey to an Indian,
seems like a high price for the punish
ment of the offense ; but that is what
the last case cost the government. The
prisoner will lie in jail until June, and
the total cost of trying him will be about
$1,000, which is a big price for a pint of
whiskey.
The sleighing last night was very
good, there having been travel enough
to get the snow pretty well packed.
This being the case, it was taken advan
tage of by a large number, and the jin
gle of bells and toot of horns were heard
until a late hour. Among other turn
outs were three or four four-horse rigs,
and all loaded. The parties in the big
wagon beds seemed to be having the
most fun at least they made the most
noise. .
A Jacksonville correspondent says :
The contract for the survey of the Bogue
Biver Valley railroad from Medford to

the survey yrae begun Wednesday. Mr.

pany, has been in Jacksonville the past

ern side of the valley.

being made by citizens of Elgin, Island
City, Alicel and the country adjacent, as

We have experienced a good many
snow storms but the present. slush that
pervades the sidewalks is the slippiest,
sloppiest nastiest coglomeration we ever
tackled.'. It is the only lot of enow that
we ever heard of that was greased when
it fell.
The city recorder is just having a pic
nic these days. The snow is eo deep,
and, so sloppy that even if a fellow
does get too in ich gin he stays where he
got it and doesn't make business for the
police courts. The newspapers miss the
old John Doe worse than anybody. '
Although the morning broke dark and
gloomy with a gentle-, cold, drizzling
rain, the sun soon managed to drive
away the clouds and the day has been
exceptionally fine. The snow does not
seem to disappear as rapidly as the
weather would indicate it should, but it
has settled at least half, there being not
over fifteen or at mutt eighteen inches.
Yesterday afternoon Dte, Eshelnian
and Logan removed a tumor, cnnosed
of a net work of blood veftl railed
"Naevns,'' from th head of the ten.
months old child of D. L. Bolton. The
operation is one not withont considera
ble danger, owing to exeessive hem
orrhage. In this case the operation is a
success and today the child is doing
well.
About the best reputation any young
man can get is that of paying his debts,
living within his means, whatever they
are. There is always an opening for
such young men, men who will do their
duty as quickly and well on a small
salary as on a big one. They are the
ones who "get there" in the long run.

o'clock, at which time he retired, and
upon bis not getting up this morning,
those who went to call him getting no
answer, went into his room and found

held in high esteem by all who knew
him. His mother lives at Tygh and

FIRE AT LONG CREEK.
830,000 Worth of Property Goes Up In
Smoke.
The Gazette office has received word
from Long Creek of a fire which oc
curred there last Friday in which at
least $30,000 worth of property was con
verted to ashes. The fire originated in
the Masonic: hall, about 2:30 in tbe
afternoon, the result of a defective flue.
When discovered the fire had gained
such headway that it was impossible for
the well-organized bucket brigade to
subdue it. the interior of the box encas
ing the terra cotta flue being on fire
from the bottom to the top of the struc
ture. Owing to the immense size of the
building, the attention of the people
was given to saving the contents of all
adjoining structures, as it was evident
that one block at least would be con
sumed, and possibly the whole town
Thg general merchandise store and
warehouse of W. M. Rudio, the saloon
building and ice house of Keeney Bros.
and the stable of F. W. Silvertooth were
soon also wrapped in flames. The
printing office of the Long Creek Eagle,
owned by the Patterson Pub. Co., was
about thirty feet distant from the mam
moth general merchandise establish
ment of W. M. Rudio, and while it
caught on fire several times, through
the heroic efforts of the citizens of the
little inland city it was saved, though
the building was badly wrecked. The
presses and all material and stock were
removed from the building and sus
tained serious damage.
The losses were about as follows :
W.'.M. Rudio, general -merchandise
store and warehouse, $15,000 ; insurance,
$10,000.
, -Long Creek Buildfng Association,
Masonic and public hall, $4,500; insur
ance, $3,000. ;
Keeney Bros., saloon building and ice
house, $3,000 ; no insurance.
The Patterson Pub. Co., damage to
printing office and outfit $500; fully in
sured. - . -
C. W. Conger, damage to general mer
chandise store.and stock. $500; fully in'
sured. - ;-' : ,v '-, . " ' ' ';
C. H. Lee, damage to livery stable and
city ball, $200; no insurance.
Mrs. Ella Hughes, damage to Menu
mental hotel, $200; insured.
While the fire wiped put a portion of
the town uninjured by the cyclone of
last June, .it was iortnnate that it hap
pened where it did, as most of the prop
erty was insured.. However, such an ex
perience' has been the fate of manv a
wooden town, and Long Creek should
now supply themselves with hook and
ladder: outfit andj several Babcock

The following account of a trial the de
cision in which ought to be an example
for the real courts, is given by the Port
land Sun : .
"An exciting and interesting meeting
of the moot court of the law school was
held last evening in Judge" Hurley's
courtroom. As a preliminary officers
for the ensuing term were elected, as
follows : D. A. Grout, president ; F. S,
Grant, secretary; W. Q. Buffington,
treasurer, and I. J. Sweet, sergeant-at-
arms. Judge John L. McGinn, in an ex
haustive opinion, decided that the
young man arrested for dropping a nickel
to which a string was tied, in the slot of
a cigar machine, and then withdrawing
the money, after the receipt of the cigar,
was not guilty of larceny as charged, as
the owner of the nickel -in-the-slot ma
chine bad intended to part with the title
to the cigar as long as a person complied
with the direction to drop tbe required
nickel. ' ' .
A jury trial which, for its bickerings,
personalities and irrelevant inuendoes
would do justice to a first-class murder
trial then followed. Contrary to custom
Mr. J. B. Mullay was excused because
he knew absolutely nothing and Mr. S.
B. Biggin was accepted for tbe reason of
his defiant affirmation that he was a
professional juror. Mr. Knowell was
excused because he had no property but
was living in hopes.' At a late hour the
case was going with a State-vs-Steeves-like
slowness and the embryo lawyers
were arguing at great length a point
about as relevant to the issue as is a
hawk, to a handsaw. -
. A Murder at Cornelias.
A fatal shooting ' affair ' occurred at
Cornelius this afternoon, in ' which
Joseph Penning, a farmer living a mile
north of town, was shot by J. J. Beitter,
a German laborer, 30 years of age. The
trouble arose over the ownership of
some land, and also because of Penning's
Objection to tbe murderer marrying his
daughter. . ' . '
Keitter went to Penning's house where
he first took a shot at tbe girl he pro
feesed to love, but fortunately missing
her. He then fired at his victim, strik
ing him in the left breast, immediately
above tbe heart. Penning's death is be
lieved to ba merely a question of a few
hours.
Tbe murderer is now in jail, and will
have an examination' before Justice J.
J. Knight, at Hillsboro, on the 19 inst.
Twenty-Five Cents to the Pan.
A rancher living on Sutton creek a few
miles southeast of Baker City, brought a
dozen chickens to town the other day
and disposed of them to Mr. Waller
Fernald, of the First National Bank, re
ports the Democrat. In dressing one of
them gold particles were found id the
craw. A. lew flays alter the rancher
came to town again and Mr. Fernald in
formed him of tbe find and suggested
that the rancher had better do a little
prospecting for diggings in the vicinity
of his home. The rancher on his return
home began a search for gold in a gulch
near by and has been rewarded by a
prospect of twenty-five cents to the pan.
With the coming season Mr. Bancber
proposes to turn hiB attention to placer
