^rDT¡8ÍÑ^^0^ b • M fz w 'X- i I 1 I LETTER FBOM ASHLAND. W gmcrraiit Simes. A shland , Aug. 18th. Teams from Lake county are con stantly arriving, getting flour and other supplies. Wallace Bishop has his thresher in the neck of the valley above town, and as the farmers report makes it lively for the cereals. J. S. Eubanks, formerly of Cotton wood, Cal., has recently located with his family at Ashland. Of course they are given a hearty welcome. Our young, eloquent minister, Rev. J. R. N. Bell, will start soon for his conference. We have all felt his po tent influence for good, and are anxious to Jiave him returned. Geo. A. Dietz, the inventor of the “California Fruit Preserver,” is with us. Ilis invention is said to pre serve four thousand pounds per day. Our fruit growers had better sec it. Several families have gone from our town mountainward to seek “a lodge in some vast wilderness,” where the deer and the trout and the soda-water are. Isaac Miller, Sr., and Jr., Isaac Woolen and James Ewing are among the récupérants. A. D. Helman and J. D. Fountain are having constructed, in juxtaposi tion to the Post Office, a large, comely building of two and a half stories. It is a frame, 24x4G feet, and perhaps half completed. There will be a capa cious hall above and store-room be neath. Monday evening last Miss Martha Swingle gave a neckerchief party. Cer- tainly the Ashland buds and their peach blooms were there. It was late when they fetched away, imbued with the idea that a necktie sociable is a “good thing to have.” Of course, the young bucks now go about with their necks “bowed.” Z3EZ FRIDAY, AUGUST », 1875 AGENTS FOR THE TIMES.

Klatnath club, but they plead that the excessive stale of the atmosphere, the long dis tance, illness, and business engage ments, and other things and circum stances over which they have no con trol, prevent their meandering to the orieut. A naughty affair occurred on the mountain, six or seven miles east of Ashland, Thursday morning last. Two parties. Thos. Smith and Oster, both recently from California, were laboring together, and while at camp became involved in an altercation. Smith fired a shot-gun at Oster, who returned the fire with a revolver, hitting Smith in the left shoulder, making a ghastly wound. Oster came and surrendered himself to the proper authorities, and reported Smith dead. Coroner Inlow repaired to the place of me disaster and found the wounded in the care of his wife. The injured was speedily brought to town and is convalescing, under the skillful management of Dr. Iniow.

L arge S teer .—Geo. S. Miller, of Lake county, writes us that he is com ing this way with the largest steer ever raised on the Pacific Coast. The animal is 19 hands high, measures 9} feet around the girth and 16 feet from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail. It is Mr. Miller’s intention to exhibit him al the State Fair and also at several points along the way there. A F raud .—Some time since it was announced in the T imes that Valen tine S. Howe, who broke into M. Mensor’s store a few years ago and was sent to the Penitentiary by Judge Prim, has been recaptured in Wash ington Territory. This turns out to be untrue, as the following from the Bulletin of the II th will show : A few days since Superintendent Watkinds was called to Port Towns end for the purpose of securing an escaped convict named Valentino S. Howe. Upon arriving there ho came face to face with a man named Barber, who had been pardoned out of the Penitentiary some years ago. The way in which the trick was played was as follows: Johnny Foster and one or two other ex-convicts living at Port Townsend came to the conclusion that they wanted to go over to Vic toria. They were in embarrassed cir cumstances financially, or in other words, “dead broke,” and they set their heads to “raise the wind” to make the proposed sail across the channel. They went down and talked to Barber awhile, and then proceeded to the Sheriff’s office and told him that a convict by the name of Howe had escaped from the Penitentiary ; that there was $500 offered for his ar rest ; that they (the ex-convicts) knew where Howe was, and that if the Sheriff would give them half the reward they would tell where Howe was stopping. This story the Sheriff doubted and said so. To prove the truthfulness of their tale they asked the Sheriff to telegraph to Superintend ent Watkinds. This he did, asking, “Is there a convict missing from the Penitentiary by the name of Howe ?” Immediately the answer came from Salem, “Yes.” The Sheriff then told the ex-convicts that if they would tell him where Howe was he would give them $150 as soon as he was arrested ; and accepting the offer, Johnny Foster and the others took the Sheriff to the place where Barber was working, and pointing to him, told the Sheriff there was the man ; and Barber, acting like he was badly scared, the officer of the law nabbed him at once, put him in heavy irons as a dangerous character, ¡raid the $150 and telegraphed to Mr. Watkinds to come over and bring the reward; in the meanwhile the ex convicts crossed the channel and got out of harm’s way. Mr. Watkinds’ arrival caused Barber’s release and then it leaked out that the whole affair was a sell. “M ountain B oy ” D ead .—The S. I F. Chronicle gives the following notice of the death of “Mountain Boy,” a “Vermont” colt raised by James Mc Donough, of this county, and sold by Alex. Martin to L. Swan, of Yreka, a few years ago, who subsequently disposed of him to C. W. Kellogg, of San Francisco: Mountain Boy, the leader of the tridem team, which attracted so much attention the day of the double team race on the Bay District course, died a fow days ago. He was slightly lame, and the veterinarian, a Dr. Lewis, inserted a seton in his shoulder, which was thought to be the cause of his death. He was a remarkably fine-looking, large bay horse, could trot to the pole close to thirty, and in a four-in-hand tandem or tridem team could scarcely be equaled in any country. Mr. Kellogg valued him more highly than any horse he owned. It is a great loss to him, and more keenly felt from the death of such a great favorite be ing the consequence of malpractice. To L eave Ua.—We regret to learn that Louis Horne intends removing to Roseburg at an early day, and tak ing charge of a hotel there. Mr. Horne and family, during a residence of many years among us, have made hosts of friends, and while we regret their departure we wish them all success wherever they may go.
