The Mc Y inn ville N Entertainment Only a small audiecce attended the en tertainment last Saturday night given by tbe McMinnville athletes, but they were repaid by feeing given a very enjoyable amateur entertainment. Five young men gave an excellent performance on the boruontc! bar, rings, mat and par allels, doing many .difficult tricks. They were assisted by John Talt and Bob Chambers of this city, who gave a eplen- loTmer with electric light effect. Inter- soersed were several solos bv Miss Kath arine Glen, a contralto, with a beautiful -voice thoroughly cultivated. This wss a treat and it is to be regretted that it was not known before hand that Miss Glen -was to sing. Also some well performed piano solos by Miss Barrett. The Mc Minnville young people at least made iseveral warm friends. Deplorable.

Howard returned Saturday aight on tbe overland from Uuion, ac companied by Ream K. Findley, wbo had met with a thrilling expeiience near that place. Mr. Undiey's account of the affair makes the experience a re markabie one. When Mr. Findley left Albany he was accompanied by James Ooeti, a barketper from Medford, and they traveled together. Alter leaving Portland Ooeti borrowed (20 of Findley, promising to repay it at Omaha, where be would receive some money. A few miles this tide of Union at ' Hot Lake Findley left tbe car to go into the smok ing car ahead He remembers stepping from the end of the first car to that of tbe smokes, and that is all for two or three days afterwards. He either fell off or was shoved off tbe car, he believes the latter. This happened abont 9 :30 o'clock Monday morning The next day he was found by a young man named Skiff, who thought from hi actions that I he was insane. He was taken to Union by Sheriff Phy, who ionnd letter on him which showed where he was from. I'. was thought that there bad been a -con cussion of the brain, bis head being bad ly bruised, and he bad no knowledge of his surroundings. Even when Mr. How ard arrived his wind was unbalanced And he told him that thev were trying to hang him, that they had fixed up the gallows, bat it had fallen three times and they couldn't make it stand. He recoveied con scionsoes soon after and they started for home Mr bind ley af terwarts found that his value, which had been with him in the car had been rifled and that besides the $20 he was oat several more dollar?. The circum stances have attached suspicions toCoeti, but the nature of the affair is such that it will probably never be proven how the accident happened. As th train was going at full speed it is the greatest won der 10 the world that Mr. Findley was not killed, and he feels that be had a remarkable escape from death.
