SAD DEATH.
On Thursday of last week Mr. A.
Murrey and family arrived in this city
from Kansas for the purpose of
purchasing a farm and making this
county their - future home. Dur
ing the trip Mr. Murrey rode much of
the time on the platform in order to
get a better view of the country
through which he was passing, and he
contracted a severe cold which result
ed in pneumonia. After a brief illness
lie died on the 8th inst. at a residence
in this city which he rented and fur
nished upon his arrival. The remains
were interred at the Odd Fellows'
cemetery in the presence of a large
number of newly-acquired friends of
the family.
Archibald Murrey was born in Scot
land in 1839 and at the time of his
death was aged 52 years, 1 month and
20 days. He "came to the United
States m 1853, served through the war,
being much f the time in the com
mand of Gen. Sherman whose death so
recently occurred. He was a member
of the G. A R. and that organization
and the W. R. C, of this city prompt
ly rendered all necessary assistance to
their afflicted comrades and under
thtir auipices the funeral was con
ducted. A wife and three sons
are Jett to mourn the loss of the
husband and father. The affliction of
the family is rendered more severe by
the fact that the mother is now se
riously ill, but with the services of the
physician and the devoted attention of
the W. R. C. it is believed that the
grief-stricken lady will gradually re
cover. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

fish this week to Adam Assell, of this
city. This is a new variety of fish in
these waters, this being their first ap
pearance in Yaquina bay, and it is
said the water is alive with them just
now. In appearance they resemble a
large smelt and are about the size
of an ordinary salmon trout. They
make a very palatable dish when prop
erly prepared.

aeres of land three and one-half miles
west of Albany, near the Oregon Pa
cific railroad, 100 acres in cultivation.
Average yield of crop last year was 42
bushels to- the acre.- Enquire at this
office
THEY VVEKE IN IT.
There was a sound of high revelry
met the ear of a deputy marshal on
Fridry evening in the southern part of
the city, and upon investigation he
discovered that the discordant notes
emanated from a couple of dusky and
highly intoxicated maidens, the habit
uei ef that imposing edifice situated
near the junction of the Willamette
and Marys rivers." They were endeav
oring to sing "We won't go home till
mrtrninor H anrl tl-iA cAmipl nrfWAfl thai:
they woJid not. in the judgment of
the deputy the peace and especially the
dignity of the city had been impaired,
and he swooped down upon the unsus
pecting inebriates and undertook to
soar away to the inviting solitudes of
the city jail with a screeching maiden
under each of his official wings. . The
physical jmpessibility of the act,
coupled with the desperate resistance
of the women, rendered it necessary
for the officer to hastily summon the
aid of his chief and such other assist
ance as could be enlisted. A suffi
cient posse was mustered and they
charged upon the dusky foe, which, in
the meantime, had been unable to
make good their retreat. The colored
troops fought nobly but the overpower
ing numbers of the police force finally
prevailed, and the amazons were con
veyed bodily, in a humiliating attitude,
to the city cooler by the triumphant
hosts. The following day Recorder
Spaulding examined into the conduct
of the belligerent females and fined
each of them $5.
A Close Call. The little eighteen
months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Ed. Penington had a close call from
meeting death by poison last Saturday.
The family had just moved into Dr.
Farra's house on Fifth street and while
the mother was busy about her work
the child in some way got hold of a
package of morphine pills ?nd swal
lowed a portion of the contents. It
did not t.ike long for the poison to
have its effect, and the mother
soon noticed the drowsy condition of
the child and discovered the remainder
of the package in its hand. She at
once summoned assistance from the
neighbors and sent for a doctor who
arrived just in time to save the girl's
life. After administering th proper
antidotes the child began to revive
and has now entirely recovered, little
the worse for its rough experience.
