THE COOS BAY TIMES,
Early Day Happenings Repeat
ed in North Bend Accord
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 officer Johnson, of
the neighboring city this morning,
and he returned with his prisoner,
who had been discharged from cus
tody by Assistant District Attorney
Farrin on a chargo 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 whero 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 roulette
wheel so that his winnings became
such that tho men running the game
be'eamo suspicious and found that
he "worked" them.- It is alleged that
Flood pulled a gun and stood off the
crowd while he backed away '.'rom 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 ho would go, as he
was "broke." This offer was not
taken advantage of, and when tho
affair came to tho ears of the North
Bend authorities a warrant was Is
sued for his arrest and Flood was
taken to North Bend for his prelimin
ary hearing. It Is probable that
some interesting findings will develop
at tho trial.
On Bottom AVlth Load of Stone, Mas
ters & MeLain's Craft Has
Second Accident.
. Tho huge scow used by Masters &
McLain 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 the second time the big
scow has been wrecked in about a
month and this was her first trip af
ter being repaired from jer former
damage. Tho scow was being towed
down the rivor at daylight to make
the most of tho 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 the scow once
more.
Masters & McLain appear' to be 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. The scow left here a
couple of days ago in good condition
and tho reason for her sinking Is not
yet apparent.

Citizens and Council Crack
Jokes Over Condition of
Streets Plan Great Im
provements. "City Duck Pond, Shooting not
allowed."
This was the placard stuck In the
middle of a bad mud puddle on
Sherman avenue near the Bank of
Oregon In North Bend by some
practical joker a few days ago. To
make tho duck part of tho pond
appear more real, a couple of real
ducks were laid In tho puddle.
Lying on a box in the doorway
of a hardware store was a shot gun.
This was near the scene of the "duck
pond," and it proved the truth of
the assertion that "It Is an ill wind
that blows nobody good." Tho hard
waro firm sold guns ami in this
manner made "hay" by novel ad
vertising, the joker's "duck pond"
furnishing the amusing feature of
tho whole affair, which aroused
much amusement from pedestrians.
North Bond streets like those In
Marshfleld aro rather muddy, but
the citizens of that city take a
numerous vI6"wof tho matter. At
a meeting of the North Bond city
council a-short tlmo ago, tho city
fathers had much amusemont over
discussion as to whether whistling
buoys should bo placed at the street
corners so that tho vehicle drivers
would not lose their way. Tho week
ly paper also made a similar sugges
tion, and the spirit of North Bond
is ono of optimism In tho face of a
quick growth which has not allowed
time for perfection in tho streets.
Tho new council, however, has
made a good start and intends to
remedy the muddy streets os soon
as tho rainy season has passed.
Plana aro In progress at present for
this purpose and the recent appoint
ment of a city engineer will assist
greatly in the work.
