and hunting ground? and a fine camp

INDIAN'S ATTACK CAMP AT NIGHT.
I am sure, old comrade, you will
recollect the time when a part of our
company with a detail of Bailey's
company, was sent out to ascertain
if any of the Indians could be found.
After hunting for them a day or two
without finding any sign of them,
they returned towards camp, and
night coming on they made their
camp in an open space in the woods.
After supper was over, it was decided
by the boys that they should decide
in a wrestling bout which was the
best man for strength and agility.
Fires were replenished, and Edward
Gage of liuoy 's company, and John L
Gardiner, of Bailey's company, both
of them stout, rugged young men in
the prime of life, and with no thought
that within a few moments the wily
foe who was then waiting for an op
portunity to kill two of our best men,
were so near at hand. But such is
the fortune of war. Soon after our
comrades had entered the ring, each
one striving in a friendly manner to
uphold the prestage of his company,
a rain of bullets fired by Indians who
had in some manner passed our senti
nels, laid low the two contestants,

when the retreating Indians paid par
ticular attention to him he sought
refuge in a hunch of brush, into
which v;u sent many rifle balls but
luckily did not hit him. He did not
expect to escape with his life, so af
ter saving a part of the powder, bul
lets and caps, tfor that was before
the magazine rifles of modern times
were invented) he threw the rest
away, so if the Indians got his body
they should not get his ammunition.
When darkness set in he emerged
from his retreat and after wandering
all night over the dark, pathless;
mountains, the most rugged and pre
cipitious that can be imagined, he
wandered into camp as related above.

OLIVER L. MOORE
Writes in Humorous Strain About
Douglas County and
DRAWS A COMPARISON
Between the Connecticut People
and Oregonians.
Douglas county is a big chunk oi the
earth, lying and standing in the south
west part of the state of Oregon, and
directly west of the southern part of
Lake Michigan. Douglas county is not
as large as the state of Connecticut, but
it was intended to be. As it is, there is
so small a difference bet ween the two.
that it is of little note. Connecticut has
4!)00 sq. miles and Douglas has 4S00. L
Douglas hail another of her scenic buttes
ami it looks as if there were some left
out, she would take first pla e over her
more fortunate neighbor. But, we let
that p iss, and hold no grudge, Connecti
cut plays in the sands of tiie turbu'.eiit
Atlantic, while Douglas pillows it head
on the summit of the white robed Cas
cades, and bathes its feet, to its knees,
in the placid swelling waters of the mild
Pactnc. There is no quarrel over this,
either. Connecticut has the proud dis -
tinction of arid, snowv. icv winters,

Connecticuters are shv about coming i

P"I place for a man. if tbe man n
gl for anything If all the peo; of
Connecticut short d suddenly come to
this county, our population would be
considerable increase. We know this
and don't deny it. If all the people of
Douglas should suddenly go toConnecti-
cut, that state might still be redeemed.
We are not attempting to hold out false
luaucemenis to o:o
.Neticut, but are
MBIv dealing in facts. In Connect: r.
tin-re are mote tiian 200 persons to each
s ;.m::e. In Douglas, there are about
ai s.i. nples to everv '-sii'iare tiers.::.
Another tiint :n our f-rr lniio.-ii.
cut offers a home to everv man that has
. . .
enough money to pmj for it. Dooglas
gives any man a home, and stands it
right up before his door. Most of the
People in Connecticut were k
....... . ,. .. , ,
there, but they shou,du t i too severely
blamed for it. It is a matter of the past
. . -
now, and we'll let it stand
people of D inglas came here of their
mn accord, and deserve credit for it
Connecticut manufactures and eats and '
wears what she doesn't produce. Doug-1
las eats wears and produces what she!
doesn't manufacture. No apolcgy. Con
MOtiwI builds ships. We ship build-;
ings.
There are some people in Donglas ,
county that have forgotten more mean '
things than the people of old Net., ever
knew. We pity them.
There are people in Douglas county ;
that have never been in jail, or even in j
the penitentiary. The 'Seticutters may
not believe this, but it is just as true as
the fact that there rre multitudes of I
people in 'Neticut who have never been
in such places, but ought to 1 there ,
"Truth is mighty and must prevail."
If I should make my home in Con
necticut. 1 would go there before tak
ing up my alode there. This might seem
folly, hut I would not swerve from this'
purpose.
If this county had not been named
"IVuiglas," it has been decided by some
of our wisest men that it would have
been named something else. There seems
to lie no one in particular to blame for 1
this condi ion, but we must accept it as
a truth.
Douglas county has all the conditions
to make a wealthy people wealthier,
a gocd people lietter and a wise people
wiser. We have soil, climate, water,
and oftentimes, considerable air on the
hill tops.
There is as certainly a future for
Douglas county, as there is a past for
Connecticu. Donglas is an infant in a
big pair of boots, while Connecticut is a
great big hulk in a pair of baby sho . s.
But. if the shoes tit the 'Neticutters, let
'em wear them, and we'll hold on to the
boots. If any people from Connecticut
read this comparison, please don't get
mad. for we're all happy iu old Doug
Moral. Let the East send a few thou
sand good people to our county, and
we'll give them happy aud profitable
homes.
CROOKS INFEST THE CITY.

who have !een passing through this

near the big bridge iu this city were en
tered and ransacked while the occupants
were out in town, but little of value was
secured by the housebreakers
The tirst
house entered was that of Mrs. Hoffman
where the robber or robbers secured a

$2..j0 or :i in dimes, nickels and pen
nies. The child's bracelets, on which

Home entered was that of Mrs. Kirk,
where tiie cuiprita, it is thought, se
cured only five one-cent pieces, which
were marked. A young hobo passing
along the strtet in the afternoon pre
sented Master Leon Lewis with fiveone-
ent pieces, and he exchanged them for
a nickel at the Davis depot grocery,
where the coins were secured by Police
man Jarvais, and when shown to Mrs.
Kirk were positively identified as the
missing coins from the marks contained
thereon.
Policeman Jarvais experienced little
difficulty in locating the youthful hobo
who admitted presenting the coins to
Master Lewis, but insisted that he re
ceived them in change at an Oakland
confectionery store Tuesday morning
When asked why he gave them to the
little hoy, he said he did not suppose
they were worth anything, as they did
not pass as currency in Idaho, where be
came from. The young bote tells a
