t,i4i M.imliv an accident occurred at
Tangent of a nature not often chronicled
and n a manner to excite the ayrapathv
of all. A young man named John A Can-
tolvan, who had been working for AI.
drawineT some weed near
Tangent Hie team waeoompoaed of a alow
hone and a feet horse. The latter becom
ing rwrMt atartad to run. but the alow
horse oo oaring to join him the wagon
was turned into the fenoe,the tongue run
ning between the rails and the wagon tip
ping over. When tne team started Can
nivan put his right foot an the break.but
It seems slipped in snoh a manner as te
thrown his body en the break, striking an
the left side just under the arm, near the
pit, with such force as te push it through
into his lungs, breaking the third lib in
two and entering the lungs twe or three
inches in a direction toward the arm.
This made a complete passage through
the lungs for the air, causing his neck to
swell to nearly double its natural size,and
his hreast on being touched would crackle
like paper. Drs Hill and Wallace were
immediately sent for, and did all thai
could be done for the unfortunate man,
hot, it is doubtful whether he liver,
Mr Canuivan was a young man aged
bout 27 and has lired hare about six
vaar. cumins from New York Suite. He
has borne an excellent character, being
known for his steady, economical habits,
having saved fifteen hundred or two thou
sand dollars by his good habits. He made
ft lends with all, and in the viciuity where
ha was known general sympathy is ex
pressed for him.
Heavy Battery 1st ftaleaa-
Salem was thrown into a state of excite
snent last aunosy morning by tbe report
of an immense robbery st the store of
Caldwell, Bechcr A Lieke. The proprie
tors claimed that SS00O worth of goods bsd
been ttolen.but the amount wss probably
exaggerated. Entrance wss made from
the back side, some thought from tbe out
side by prying open the iron shutters,
others that there was a confederate con
cealed within. The best goods in the stare
were taken, and they were conveyed awsy
in s wagon. Search was immediately
made for the robbers, which resulted in
the finding of a large qosotity of goods in
a barn about three miles from Salem,
which were identified as the oaes stolen.
Salem is foil of hard cases this week, many
of whom are tbe worst set of cut throats
the country was ever infested with. Tbe
robbery wss no doubt the work of some
of these men.
A Caldwell, a brother of the senior mem
ber of the firm has since been arreted, for the
offense and on Tuesday Prosecuting Attor
ney Cham certain, of this city, went to Salem
and brought him np before tbe City Recorder
when he waived examination to appear before
the Grand Jury. It is stated that he admits
his guilt. It seems that a girl of bis was
secreted in the store, and at night opens 1
the back door for him, when tbe tcost, valu
able goods wen taken.
Kekbesl.
These ste days when it is "dangerous to
be safe " Robberies of all kinds are be
coming very common, but nntil lately
they have been ntined mostly to dwel
1 ing houses, in this State. Now tbe stores
a re catching it. A. week ago last Sunday,
while the drug store of Fosbsy A Mason
was closed, a:ter having been opened m
the morning, sn entrance wss msde iue
it by co-ting the sah of the window near
the back door, and opening the door by
reaching the hand through an openii g
made. About one hundred dollars worth
of gold pens snd pencils were taken. It
waa hoped to obtain a clue of the robbers
by not making the matter too public ; but
no clue has been obtained, nor probably
will be,
Extra precautions will have to be taken
by merchants as the State is full of des
perate characters, many of whom are pro
fessional burglars who have fled from
their crimes in tbe Eat.
A Lively set-to.
Last Sunday near Tangent a little ex
citement wa- occasioned by a set to
between a worthy farmer and a man
stopping near there, a friend ot Judge
Deady. There bad been adisouto and
the latter bad declared that he would
thrash the farmer ; so when be saw him
going along at the time mentioned be
threw an oak stick at him, hitting him.
Tbe firmer jumpnl from tbe wagon,
and the way he thrashed the friend ef
Judge Deady was a caution. This will
probably settle the matter. The above
is told us, and is at least one side of the
story.

An exchanga says : "A runaway horse,
not blinded by excessive fright, can eften be
i made $o slacken bis speed and finally stop

a man, seeing him advancing from a sufficient
distance, will calmly take a position in the
middle of the road ia wbioh the horse
running, and ways bis hat very slowly at
full arm's length above his head. The man
of course, should hold himself in readiness to
make a side wise ipriag for safety in ease he
observes no slackening of the horses speed.'
Friabie, the Portland Bank defaultor.says
he took the money because $185 a month

like Portland on $125 a month deserves bo
ing sent to the penitentiary to learn what it
is to get along oa five to ten dollars a month,
A person has no business to live beyond his

ooartsaios he has our thanks. Jim Merriot
and Nyella, were warmiog up at tbe time.
and i m mml utely began buaieuss on a I J mile
stretch with Jim Merriot at the polo. They

Jim Merriot winning by about four feet in
z r I, a 1:03 pace. It was easy to observe
though even by a green horn, thst the rider
at Nyslla wss not very anxious to posh hie
horse, sad we were informed that this waa a
part of ths program, but then a person csu
be informed of anything at a state fair.
This raoe was followed by the brooders
trotting race for throe year olds for a purse
of S900. There were only two starters. Mu

Oneco at the pole. Tbe drivers supposing
they were given a start made the host, al
though thejudgos intended to oall them back,
for what purpose no one knew without it wss
because Oneco waa in the lead about throe
feet, the j edges through the whole raoe ee
pearing to fsvor Almonetto. Oneco woo tbe
heat with eaae in S "-",, but was not allowed
it. The nest heat ho also won in good
style, bat tbo last three boats Almonetto
took, although Oneco shnwod the best speed
from start to finish, spoiling a fine gate by
repeatedly break i a g, and losing tbe ground
he would gain. It is but justice to say that
Mr Beach, his driver, was sick at tbe time
and sho'ild bsvs boon in bud, poeaeeaiug but
little strength to curb a breaking horse.
interspersed between the bnts ol tbo trot
a hyctcle oootoot between Drf C Newcastle,

play, as much as any other, to our notion,
wss s credit to tbo state ; and little below it
wore well filled peas of sheep, embracing
many fine looking bucks and swss of the best
grades of stock. There was a fair exhibition
of fowls, ens gh to show that considerable
interest is taken in this important branch,
several cages of Laghorns, Polaods, Wyau
dottes, etc.. being noticosble.
Tbo displsy of machinery, wagons, etc.,
was not large, and little attention eosatod to
be paid to it. In Agricultural Hsll there
was a lamentable exhibition of empty stalls,
bat mixed np with them was, though not
axtonaive. s duuiav of fruits, veiretsbies. etc..

It is customary to growl at the S;ats fair(
sad in some respect it daiurv it it. It cer
tainly is not kept op ai a stats fair should
be. Compared with a state fair in the East,
it would be sailed very slim ; for Oregon it
is aot what it should bo, but It has its vir
tu ss, and an extra effort should be made to
give it a lift. This can only he done by ex
citing greater iuterest in tbe exhibitions of
stock aod products, so that they will oome
from all parts of the state.
The attendance Moodsy aud Tuesday was
very poor, ouly $255 being taken in on the
former day and $370 the latter day. Much
was being depended oo the attendance yes-
terday, but nothing can save it from a rinan
oUl failure this year.
At seven o'clock we again boarded the
train with our ret paster, after hairing a
loud discussion between a prominent lawyer
of Salem, a vice president of the Association -
and a county school superintendent which
the latter two were accused of receiving big'
pay for thsir work during the fair, when ths
society was bead over heels in debt,and there
were plenty who would work for nothing.
Only one of the two was proven guilty. At
1.30 the dim lights of Albany greeted us, one-
half day having co mpletely satisfied us.

Among other oo unties Umatilla county
has been cursed by horse thieves to snob
an extent that It Is almost Impossible to
raise horses with any profit to tbe owner,
Tbey have at times been caught and
punished, nearly every court having its
oases, During tbs last spring sad sum
mer the deprsdatlona continued, and
horses vsntshed at a demoralizing rate.
Where some of them went hss Just been
ascertained. A while sgo throe or four
young men brought between fifty and
sixty good looking horses, bearing vari
ous, brands, to Brownsville, where they
disposad of about half of them. From
correspondence with the Umatilla aa
thorlties, It began to be suspected thst
these were all stolen borsee. George
Dark hart of this olty helped work np the
tnstler, snd as s result last week Deputy
HhsrifT Hulllvan, of U mat 11 Is county, put
In an appearance with a list of brands
of horses loaf, and warrants for the
arrest of Jim Wilson, Ull.y Fields, John
Wilson and Armstrong. Lsxst Friday
lbs first three were arrested at Browns
villa, the particulars of which It Is unnec
essary to relate, although containing eorre
Ititorostlng features. They were brought
te Albany and lodged in tbe county Jail,
rrotn which they were taken to Pendleton
on Monday tnornlog, whore, If guilty,
tiicy will bo sure to receive the Justice
thoy will deserve ; and It la wall known
that Kastern Oregon Courts have little
mercy on the boras thief, and ths deserves
little. On Malurdsy, Mr Hulllvan arrested
