A Kaiux A I)tcMoCifT man was one
of about slx-five who attended the so-called
sparring match at the Opera House Friday
evening. A more huge joke than the
VMM concern was never perpetrated Oh
the people of Alban v. A we predicted in
a recent issue it was a tame affair, and
more too. A more rue i v ctowd never

was a wrestling match, catch-as-caleb -can
between Hush and Hellinger.eoth of whom

Butler, the Portland barber and Bellinger,

It was a childish display to please the audi
ence, the combatants doing all ef their
featht r weight striking after time had been
called. Instead of pleating it disgusted all
present, as it was a mere farce. During
the performance a Mis Wilson, whs re
sides at the Bush house, paraded through
the hall on the arm of a Minneapolis light
weight, giving it a Tivoll theatrics, cast,
making manv present ashamed of them

be obliged te chronicle such a performance
in Alban v again and regrets that it has
been made as conspicuous as it has
Commencement. --Commencement ex

Principally Interest. Yesterday C.
C. Beekman, of Jacksonville presented
five warrants on the State Treasurer, that
were just fourteen years old, having been
drawn on the 5 per cent tide, swamp and
overflowed land fund, on May xx, 1874
The face of these warrants was $7,000, and
it took $i6,79J.2j to pay the principal and
interest. The Slate Treasurer has issued
a call for Sio.soo more of these warrant
(principal) with interest which will increase
the amount to about $30,000. There are
vet abomt Sjc.ono worth of these warrants,
vrhieh were drawn under the authority of
the acts of the legislature of 1874, in pay
. ment for road improvements.
Gov. Grover. Gov. Grovcr, lately re
turned from Europe, was in attendance at
the speaking of Col. Irish last Saturday
and made some remarks at the close of the
meeting, lie said he was in Paris at the
time of the issue of President Cleveland's
message to Congress recommending a re
duction of taxation on the ground that we
were collecting more money from the peo
ple than was needed. The messzge pro
disced a profound sensation among think
ing men everywhere in hurope. ihey ex
claimed, here is a government that does not
want so much monev ! was there ever
such a thing in all the history, among all
nations before ! This is the "greatest gov
ernment and the greatest people.
An Indian Item. Saturday some half
breeds came to town, bought some whis
key and in the evening took it to camp just
beyond the Calipooia, whe-ea big jamboree
was had among the half breeds. On com
plaint of Mr. Frank Hughes, who lives in
the neighborhood Frank and George Cook,
sons of a white man and squaw, were ar
rested, and Monday were tried before
Justice Humphrey under a State law, for
-giving liquor to Indians. Nellie Johnson,
a half breed, swore that Frank Cook gave
her a drink and that she would drink when
ever treated. She said she did'nt like him
because he would not marry her, and
wanted to confine her testimony to the
whiskey part.
Will Be;iv. -Vir. Garrett, of the Wil
lamette Packing Co. informs us that the
Company has about ioooo cans manufac
tured, and in a few days will begin canning
goods for the season. Cherries and other
fruits and vegetables as fast as in condition
will be received and put up. A there will
be quite a demand for help there will be no
excuse for idleness among the young peo
ple, nor ot allowing fruit to waste among
our farmers.
Held. Mr. J. D. Keenan, of Sodavillc,
whom we mentioned as being arrested for
stealing his own horses under peculiar cir.
cumstances, was held te await the action
of the grand jury under $100 bands, which
he promptly furnished. The case has miti
gating circumstances, and is one of those
that are generally satisfactorily arranged
before reaching a jury.
A Fine Musk Albim. Postmaster
Thompson has just shown us an elegant
album of Oregon mosses and flowers col
lected and put together by Mrs. Thompson
for her son Hancock. Hancock who is an
enthusiastic boy, and a great admirer of
Mrs. Cleveland, has sent it the President's
wife as an Oregon souvenir, and we pre
dict h will be valued by her more than
many gifts that cost hundreds of dol ars.

Only a WvMCM ojr Wheat, And fall

but it looked fine as shown us by Mr. F.A.
Burkhart, the real estate man. Spring
wheat also is said to be in its glory ,and the
hundreds of farmers in the city to-day tes
tify to the magnificent looking crops ail

been putting in her best efforts to give Wil
lamette Valley people a haryest they may
be proud of.

What For. Sunday evening as Mrs
Shane and son, Arthur, were leaving the
Opera House, where they had been attend
ing memorial services, a strange man step
ped up to them and offered young Shane
fifty cents, if he would go with him about a
block und help him manage a horse. The
boy consented and they started down Sec
ond street together. After going quite a
distance the Shane boy to d the man they
had gone over a block and akcd where
the horse was. The man had hold of hi
arm, and suspecting something wa wrong
young Shane made a desperate effort and
succeeded in jerking loose, when he ran as
fast as he could, frightened nearly to
death, the man after him. Fortunately :
nightwaUhtnan was near by and interier
ed. lien tiur man l:i turn rati an. I wa-
seen no more. Th? boy wa taken home
Just what the object of the stranger was
can only be surmised. Whether it was to
kidnap 'the boy or rob him, or what is not
known.
Back prom the Mines. Last Saturday
evening Messrs. J. J. Davi, H. Kenton
and S. H. Althouse returned from the
Santiam mines, where they have staked
out three claims and established the loca
tion for a quartz mine. Their mine will be
only about seven miles from the Oregon
Pacific, with a road running to it. The
present outlook ia that it contains some
fine ere; but it has not yet been thorough
ly prospected. Some of the mines farther
from the railroad are being worked with
moderate results. What U needed i capi
tal. With it there is no reason why big
results should not be obtained, for there ia
no doubt that the precious metal is there in
large quantities.
A YoiNi; Man.
Sunday afternoon
a young man was found lying in the woods
above Lebanon in a speechless condition.
He was brought down to Lebanon and !
restoratives applied, when he recovered so
that he could speak. When brought to '
Lebanon he was recognized by citizen
there as a Mr. Warrinerof Salem. He It 1
supposed to be the son of Dr. Warriner of
that place. Being without money the citi- J
zen of Lebanon made ap a purse to buy ;
him a ticket and sent him to Salem.

Some time agi wo mentioned tin- fact of
A serious !it)uble existing nt&Otk Crerk.ln
Bis coimty; hTwhlch theTWtfai Brothers
had h-;cn warned to leave the community
by a vigilant' "committee of ij," on ac
count of an old feud that bus existed among
a few of the Inhabitant there for some'
time. Such ha been the feeling thai
Charles and William Thoma hnvc never
lefttheir home without a gun in their
hand. From a gentleman who just ar
rived from there we learn the particulars
of a tragedy In connection with the affair
that occurred there Wednesday forenoon.
About 10 o'clock Cherle Thoniaa left the
Fluke place, on Mad Creek, (the Flyk
arson the county, )fer the Post office, whirl,
Is situated at the west end of the new Den
Smith bridge. He had gone about half the
dlatance.prebably half ot a mlle.whcn three
masked men rose up from the bushes on u
ledge above Thomas and fired. Thomas
returned compliments with one shot. He
claimed that three shots were fired at him:
hut parties st the bridge store say entv two.
One of them took effect in Thomas' left
shoulder, going clear through his body
and coming out In a downward course,
breaking the collar bene. Thoinaa yelled
and ran for Vluke'a, while the nflghbera
around the bridge and vicinity ruehed for
the scene of the flrlng.everylxHly bistantiy
understanding what was up. No clue or
trace te the assassins could be found. One
f the Fluke's, with when the Thomas's
were stopping, ran swiftly to a neighbors,
who wa suspected of being a vigilant, but
found him peaceably weeding cabbages.
Physician at Stayton were despatched for,
but had not arrived when our informant
left. The wound is thought to be verv
dangerous if not fatal. Heretofore the
Thomas brother have always gone to the
Post office togetlicr ; but for some reaon
Charlce went alone on thle occasion. In
tense excitement prevailed. A maiarilv
of the citizens do not approve of the con
flict of the Thomases heretofore .nor of the
affair generally ; but this will naturally
give them sympathy, in the neighborhood
ts the 1'oet office, run by Mr. Robertson, a

Saturday evening the 20th Inst., Hon. J
K. Weathcrford spoke for one and a half
hours u the citzn of this place on the
subject of the tariff. Mr.Wcathcrford made
us an unueually good speech every word
being right to the poin and his figures were
past disputing. Temporary officers for a
permanent Tariff Reform Club were elect
ed and a committee? on pennanrnt orirnn-
inflation appointed to report Saturday
evening, June and, when permanent organ
ization will be effected.
The countv randidatds were here Mou
day the -Mh and spoke to a large and pa
tient auiiumce for over three hours. Hon
J.J. Whimcy was the first speaker and he
shewed tiu- people here how much better
the affair of Linn countv bad been manajr
ed than those of other counties. Mr Black
burn followed but he could not begin to
touch Mr vt huncy points. Mr Whitney
made several ote for himself and the
comparison caused Blackburn a corre
ponding lo. Another thing that wilt not
help Mr. Blackburn any here ia the fact
that Capt N. B. Humphrey is making 1
special effort in his behalf especially to de
feat Mr. hitnev, which confirms in the
mind of the people here that Judge Whit
nev is certainly an honest man: All the
candidates acquitted themselves very well.
Mr Jeff Meyer was present with a large
and very handsome bouquet at the close of
his ftpeech bv Miss Idilla Stanard. The en
tire ticket will get a good vote here. There
will nt be anything like the scratching
done there wa two years ago.
