Was it Burdbttb Wolf. This fore
oon about 9 o'clock a man, plainly
dressed, went to the nouse of Mr Jas
Hatcher near the ice works, and asked
for something to eat. He was asked in
to tha house, as it was very stormy, and
giyen something to eat. Mrs Hatcher
went to the next neighbors, when the
man skipped out and ran at full speed
east along the street. The neighbor de
clared it was Burdette VVolf.tlie murderer
wanted in Portland, as she had seen him
before, he havinu worked for a brother-in-law
at MarsHeld several years ago.
Tne mutter was reported to Marshal
Hoffman, but no trace of iho man could
be secured. As the murder was com
mitted about two months ago it is en
tirely improbably a man ot Wolf's in
telligence is in this vicinity, less than a
hundred miles away from the scene of
the murder. People who knew him saw
him in Eastern Oregon also. This man
e probably some one else, perhaps
uihy of some other crime.
Thk Band Entbbtakojent. A good
sized audience greeted the entertain
ment of the Military Band last evening,
at the Opera House. A very miscellan
eous but amusing program was present
ed. Besides several selections from the
band, a semi-minstrel entertainment was
the order. A piano solo was skillfully
executed bv Arthur Letmert. A farsical-melancholic-serio-comedy
was here put
on the boards, with Will Galbraith and
Victor Moses as reciters, Fred Bruckmau,
a Dutchman whose watermelon had been
stolen ; Klmer Conn, another Dutchman,
who had lo'. his dog, Marvin Turner,
the darkey who stole them. Frank Wat
eon and Charles Turlley, audience hoods
and R J Moses as master of ceremonies.
A dnet by Bert Van leve and R ) Moses
was encored. Mr Van Cleve, who has
just returned from California has a
good voice and displays good talent. R
J Moses was heard in several eo'.os. A
violin farce by the Moses Bros was next.
A take off on the Kickapos Indian dance
amused the crowd. Two farces "The
Barber Shop" and "The Dental Office"
created amusement. 1 donkey song,
with a braying donkey accompaniment
closed the program- An orchestra con
sisting of Geo Young. Mr Griffin and
Miss Parriah spliced in some entertain
ing music.
Poor Roan Laws. The Eugene
Register says:
Our countv court has fo I
some time been considering the matter o
levying a road tax, making it payable in
cash instead of work as at present. Thc
idea wa to levy a road roll tax of tw
dollars and a ievy of one or two mills uu
the assessable property In this way qui., j
a revenue would be obtained and it j
thought much better work could be o j
taincd on our hfghwars. But on looki g
into the law closely it was fourd if t un
was done the money collected would have
to be turned over to the various road u
pervisors at once, and In that case a
tematic plan could not be followed an
much good obtained as would be if
county could govern the expenditure
the fund. For that reason the ma
was dropped at the last term of the cou e

Editors Democrat:
It is a trite saying "that the wish is
the father of the thought" and this
spirit no doubt animated the palsied
brain of the Sunday sheet Telescope
editor, when he conceived the false and
calumnious statements, made in his
answer to my article in last Monday's
evening's Pkmocrat.
His whole course in this matter is
tainted and polluted with poisonous
malice towards the management of the
City Fire Department, and like a '.ravel
ing pest house strewing his patli with a
disease common to some of the descend
ants of primitive man called falsehood.
The assertion that Albany F.ngine Co.
has no coke ofitsowr now, or has had
none for four weeks past, is a base fab
rication, and Is in keeping with theother
false and slanderous charges .nade in his
answer.
I only desire, in iustice to the tnanaue-
iug officers of the tire Department, to set
this matter righ' in the minds of the
people. As to the advice given me as an
officer of the department, considering
the menial source from whence it came,
will treat it with silent contempt. If
this unjust course is pursued by the
Telescope, in trying through false state
ments, to injure the efficiency ot our de
partment. I predict that the life lamp
of its existence will soon Dicker and ex
pire, and that an imprudent pencil
shover will be seen, bent over its decay
ing embers and trving in va:n to search
out the .-barred remains of what once
was. rhen will t tie editor arraign I11111-
self Ifc-fnr the tribunal .if lite nvn

the good people of Aibauy doubt the i
