It will be remem bered that Mrs. Stevens suffered a fracture of one of her legs last win ter, aud also underwent a severe surgical operation for relief from a cancer.

Her death has been expected at any time during the past week. A warrant was sworn out in 'Squire Henderson's court at Little Elk, the first of the week by Wm.

Fred Ross, of this place, was in the pitcher's box for the Salem baseball club in a match game be tween the Salem club and the Monograms of Portland, at Gerva's last Saturday. He made quite a record in the game, striking out six men during the game The Salem Statesman speaks very highly of him, calling him the "little giant from the bayside." S. A. Logan and wife returned last week from an overland trip to Eastern Oregon, about thirty miles from The Dalles. They drove a 1 I ing to see some customer. What he did see however, v. as a man o! medium size with a mask over his face and a revolver in his hand, and before the astonished old man knew what was coming the revolver was thrust into his face. Mr. Johnson was gritty, though, and lie grabbed the revolver and made what resistance he could, but the j robber was too powerful for him and he was crowded down onto some boxes where he was prac tically helpless. He then gave up the struggle and asked the robber what was wanted, and was informed that it was his money he was after. Mr. Johnson told him that he would give it to him if 1 e would let him up, and the robber done so. Johnson then gave him a bag or team.gouig by the way of the package of silver which he bad in o,.u .u.mug uy e the showcase, amounting to about Barlow route.

Quite an enjoyable time was had by all present, however. Attorney Harry Denlinger made an impromptu ad dress that was very good, and was fully appieciated. It is intended to hold another picnic at the same place at some future time when good weather can be assured. We sincerely hope that the of ficials will be able to trace down and capture the party that commit ted the robbery in Toledo last Mon day morning. It seems to be the universal opinion that this robbery was committed by some person ac quainted with Mr. Johnson and his business. If such be the case we hope that the officers will use more diligence to capture the guilty par ties. With such persons at large in a community no one is safe. The robber that would set upon an old man like Johnson for the small sum of $20 would, in all probability kill a man for a larger sum. Until this person or persons are punished the town rests under a constant menace. Jury List for July Term.
