Trouble Along the Columbia.
LOCAL SQL’IBS.
The situation along the Columbia, in
reference to the striking fishermen, is
daily assuming a graver aspect. The
strikers, apparently bent on desperate
demonstrations, are all armed with the
best arms and plenty of ammunition,
and being of Italian and other foreign
nationalities, would not await a very
great provocation to use them. The
citizens of Astoria and the smaller towns
along the river express themselves in a
state of anything but security, many of
them on the verge of leaving the city un
til the trouble is over.
A prominent business man of Astoria
said in Portland Monday:
“What could a sheriff and a few’ depu
ties do against a mob < of over 1000 half
wild foreigners, partly organized and
reckless as to results, all armed with
Winchester rifles and infuriated by op
position?
“The time has come w hen the state
militia should step in and interfere, and
the presence down there of a few' com
panies of militia on the river would now’
certainly have the effect of creating a
feeling of safety that is far from existing
now, and of showing these fellows that
there is law’ in this country that they
must respect, and that no nonsense will
be tolerated.
“It would take eight hours for the
fastest steamboat on the river to make
the trip down there, and the assembling,
equipping and embarking of the militia
would consume four hours more. If
there should be trouble of any kind, it
will quickly spread all along the river,
and in ten hours thousands of dollars’
w’orth of property and many lives could
be sacrificed, and practically nothing
done to prevent it.”

While playing baseball last Sunday,
Wilson Fox received a bad injury to his
righthand. He was “catching off the
bat.” and once threw his hands too
high ; the ball struck the knuckles of his
right hand w’ith terrific force, nearly
breaking them. The fingers of the in
jured hand are now so swollen that Wil
son is unable to use the hand, and he
may not be able to play in the “winning
team” that is being organized here.
