Mt.
Sold Well. The sale of furniture
belonging to the estate of Chas.
Mealey, bankrupt, sold at auction last
Saturday, as a getter il thing brought
fair prices, considering the stringency
in money matters, and that tlie sale
was for "cash on the nail." The in
ventory showed upwards of $1,500
worth of personal property, which
brought, under the hammer, something
over $1,200. The real estate is to lie
told on Tuesday next, and as it Is
well located, should bring good prices.
New Cabinet Shoi Fred Graf

ly recommend him as such, and as a
thoroughly honest, straightforward
bu'lness man as well. Give him
call aj his new shop.
Religious. Elder J. M. Stephen
son will deliver his second lecture at
the Court House on to-morrow, Sun
day, evening, commencing at 7
o'clock. Subject Xo conflict between
the Bible and Science. This lecture
was announced for last Sunday, but
owing to the fact that the weather
was unusually stormy and unpro
pltious btit few were in attendance,
and another lecture was substituted
on that occasion. As the subject is
one of unusual interest, a large attend
ance should be secured.

t)n collation was partaken of, followed

That Bay Team. Yesterday afcout
one o'clock the "Bay Team" owned
by Mr. A. K. Arnold ami driven to
an express wagon, met with an acci
dent that came within an ace of de
priving them of all future usefulness.
Their owner left them standing in
Montgomery's livery stable, as is his
wont, while he went to his dinner.
About the time siecifled above the
roof of the stable fell in, caused by the
immense weight of snow upon it,
knocking the animals down, smashing
in the top of the express wagon and
otherwise injuring it. Strange to
say the horses were not seriously.
injured, the wagon being strong enough
to hold up the great weight of the root
and the accumulated snow upon it,
enabling Mr. A. to "snake" out the
team without their receiving but a
few slight cuts and bruises. Every
few days the bays stampede, but gen
erally bring up all right after they get
over their flurry, and now a stable
falls on them and they get away with
hardly a scratch. An invaluable
team, certainly.
Snowballing Was indulged in to
an unlimited extent by our boys on
Tuesday. Everybody that came in
the vicinity of the Postofllce caught it,
whether they liked the sport or no.
Mayor Brown was one of the victims,
and for about ten minutes the boys
went for.him in a manner that might
have been fun for them but was almost
death to the victim. They yanked
him from one side of the street to the
other, rolled him over, pummeled him
with balls, half mud and half slush-ice,
threw great armfnls of snow on his
bare-head, crowded it down his neck,
and treated him generally in a very
undignified and discourteous manner.
Brown "tout" manfully, but numbers
overpowered him, and he succumbed.
Such disrespect for the chief officer of
this great city calls for the earnest
protest of every citizen against its
repetition.
Concert To-night The Vieux
temps Brothers will give a grand con
cert at Pacific Opera House this even
ing, cotnmeueing at 7.30. They have
an entire new programme which they
will present for the entertainment of
this public. , Several entirely new
comic songs and costume pieces which
will doubtless be relished by ftin-lovers.
On some evening soon they propose
playing for the beuefit of our Fire
Company. A large audience will
doubtless greet them this evening.
Snow. Wc have had a considerable
snow-fall at various and sundry times
during the week, but as the ground
was soft, and the prevailing weather
anything but freezing, no sleighing to
speak of has beetr indulged in. Very
little skating or sleighriding are to be
had in the Willamette valley.
Runaway. A. N. Arnold's team
took a short spin without a driver on
Tuesday. They made the fluid and
snow fly quite lively for a few minutes,
but Were stopped In their wild career.
before they had done any damage or
given us an item.
