was at that time alive, but there
was no earthly chance for his re­

siderable artyi cut, took time by
the foreloc’ , and tired early, suc-

accomplishing fair results in the
way of burning. Seed time and

generally “ known quantities.”

The “ E ster Cobos” sailed from
the Coquille Tuesday with a full
cargo of choice hard-wood lum ber.
She goes to Crescent City, where
her cargo will be taken on board
the “ H um e,” for San Francisco.
R eturning, the “ Cobos” will call
at Smith river, E llensburg, and
possibly this place, on her way
to the Coquille.

Hr. A. P. Truesdell, a small man
with angular features and nerv­
ous sanguine - bilious tem pera­
ment,
is making
somewhat
o l' a sensation in Portland, lectur­
ing alternately to gentlomam
an t ladies “ only.” We knew the
doctor when he was a resident of
Alameda, California. He was
identified with the W orkingm an's
oarty, but had too much brains
to be tolerated by Kearney and his
groom, Carl Brown.
Mr. T. W. Crook has an ever­
green blackberry vine which has
grown to the length of 25 feet,
and there is no telling where it
would have stopped had a sheep
not interfered with its progress
by nipping it off where it ventur­
ed to expose itself across a fence.

A n I n n e t'V M a r )’ P r e c a u t i o n .
An incident of the race Saturday
a week ago at Roseburg between
"H onest Jo h n ” and “ Silver T ail,”
is worth recording. Wo have
the facts from the lips of a gen­
tlemen who was present on the oc­
casion. A syndicate of gamblers
put up heavily on “ H onest Jo h n ,’
yet they were a trifle apprehen­
sive of the outcome of the race.
The lad who was to ride “ Silver
Tail” was “ approached,” and p re­
sented with a two hundred dollar
watch t o “ throw ”tlie race. He took
the “ swag,” bu t “ blowed” on the
bribers. This was perplexing as
well as galling, so, an effort was
made to recover back the watch,
which failed through the pluck of
the rider, who kept his assailant
at bay with a drawn pistol. B ut
the chagrin of tho crowd only
reached its climax when, in spite
of the best efforts of the bribed
boy to provent it, “ H onest Jo h n ”
won tho race with tho greatest
ease. They had belittled them ­
selves, compromised tho “ fraterni­
ty ,” and lost a watch to secure a
result which was foregone and u n ­
avoidable. Though
they won
their stakes on the race, they
could not, upon a survey of the
whole field, feel happy. Their
w innings were, in the light of all
tho surroundings, dearly bought.
( ' m i g h t ( l i e ICaM cul.
Not a few residents of this vici­
nity will rem em ber the presence
hero for a short time, of a dingy,
dirty, sneaking, specimen of the
genus homo with an old yellow
horse and tho fag-ends of what
had, du rin g the ages past, answer­
ed to roll-call as a saddle, as his
only visible companions. The
follow adopted tho alias of “ Joe
M organ,” here,and claimed to have
three medical “ derplom as/ from
New York. He pretended to want
work, b u t Joe Bond could get
none out of him and so bouuoed
him . He then applied to us for a
job cu ttin g brush. We p u t him
to work, but he was not long im ­
provising an excuse to “ go and
see a man who owed him five dol­
lars.” We made no objections
to his going for we had, during
two short hours of the forenoon
he was with us, discovered his u t­
ter worthlessness, as to cutting
brush. He started away, going to
the house which contained no oc­
cupant for the moment, and help­
ed him self to such article» as he
could conveniently hide, ami
then took his departure. This
wna the last we heard of the coon
until our correspondent at Chetco
disclosed the fact that he is in lim­
bo for stealing a watch and pistol
from Assessor Schanck. He pin-
oth in E llensburg jail for 30 days.
