ing to Authentic Story.
A warrant for the arrest of C. C.
Flood, wanted for pointing a pistol
at parties in North Bend, was
brought over by oillcer Johnson, of
tho neighboring city this morning,
and he returned with his prisoner,
who had been discharged from cus
tody by Assistant District Attorney
Farrin on a charge made against him
in Marshfleld.
It is claimed that Flood held up a
gambling joint in North Bend sever
al days ago, when things began to
look black for him, and escaped to
Marshfleld where he was arrested by
Officer Condron for carrying a con
cealed weapon. He was hailed be
fore Judge Upton and asked for time.
Ho was allowed out on fifty dollars
ball.
It is said that Flood was In a gam
bling place In North Bend recently
and that ho had fixed the rouletto
wheel so that his winnings became
such that the men running the gno
became suspicious and found that
he "worked" them. It Is alleged that
Flood pulled a gun and stood off the
crowd while he backed away from the
premises with his winnings. '
For fear that he would give them
away, it is said that the gamblers
later offered Flood a free passage
from Coos Bay if he would go, as he
was "broke." This offer was not
taken advanlago of, and when the
afTair came to the ears of the North
Bend authorities a warrant was Is
sued for his arrest and Flood was
taken to North Bend for his prelimln
'ary hearing. " ir-!!" probable Ta't
some Interesting findings will develop
at the trial.
On Bottom With Load of Stone, Mas
ters & McLain's Craft Has
Second Accident.
Tho huge scow used by Masters &
McLaln for carrying stone from the
company's quarries on the south fork
of the Coos River, was wrecked this
morning at daylight while being
brought to Marshfleld by the launch
Coos River. She was loaded with
rock and evidently struck something
in the river which caused her to take
in water so rapidly that she was
towed to shallow water just as she
sank.
This is tho second time the big
scow has been wrecked In about a
month and this was her first trip af
ter being repaired from her former
damage. The scow was being towed
down the river at daylight to make
tho most of the tide when the acci
dent happened. A large force of men
and several boats will be taken to
the scene of the accident tonight in
an endeavor to float tho scow onco
more.
Masters & McLaln appear to bo un
fortunate with this craft which Is In
great demand to carry stone to its
crusher, to be used for the buildings
being made from crushed rock in
Marshfleld. Tho scow left hero a
couple of days ago in good condition
and the reason for her sinking is not
yet apparent.

California Citizen Honored by Elec
tion to Presidency.
(By Associated Press.)

Citizens and Council Crack
Jokes Over Condition of
Streets Plan Great Im
provements. "City Duel: Pond. Shooting not
allowed."
This was tho placard stuck in tho
middle of a bad mud puddle on
Sherman avenue near tho Bank of
Oregon in North Bend by some
practical joker a few days ago. To
make the duck part of the pond
appear moro real, a couple of real
ducks were laid in tho puddle.
Lying on a box in tho doorway
of a hardware store was a shot gun.
This was near tho scene of the "duck
pond," and It proved the truth of
tho assertion that "it is an ilj wind
that blows nobody good." The hard
ware firm sold guns and in this
manner made "hay" by novel ad
vertising, tho joker's "duck pond"
furnishing tho amusing feature of
the whole affair, which aroused
much amusement from pedestrians.
North Bond streets like those in
Marshfleld aro rather muddy, but
tho citizens of that city take a
humorous view of tho matter. At
a meeting of tho North Bend city
council a short time ago, tho city
fathers had much amusement over
discussion as to whether whistling
buoys should bo placed at tho street
corners so that tho vehicle drivers
would not lose their way. Tho week
ly paper also mado a similar sugges
tion, and tho spirit of North Bend
is one of optimism In tho face of a
quick growth which has not allowed
time for perfection In tho streets.
Tho new council, however, has
mado a good start and "lntonds to
remedy tho muddy streets as soon
as tho rainy season has passed.
Plans are in progress at present for
this purpose and tho recent appoint-
inont of a city engineer will assist
greatly in the work.
