Quit The Service Here
Yesterday the term of service of
William Cook, an able seaman on
board the gunboat Yorktown (three mystery cleared tip at the
years) expired, and as lie nan nau
about all he wanted of the sea, for
this time, he took his honorable dis
charge here, and hot-footed it to the
A. & C. office where he bought a
first-class ticket through to his home
near St. Louis. He departed on the
evening express yesterday.
No Thought of Closing
In response to a direct inquiry as
to whether the CIatop mills are :
close down at an early day, if so,
why? H. F. Pracl yesterday inform
ed a reporter of the Astorian, that
there was not even a thought of the
plant closing down for a single day.
Mr. Prael cannot concieve the source
of such idle and confusing rumors
and deprecates them as inimical to
business. He said he knew of noth
ing in the milling interests here that
even remotely warrants such a story
with regard to any of the plants.
Mystery of the Bay
Yesterday afternoon Captain Evan
son, of the Tongue Point mill launch
Lestcrday, while cruising in the north
waters of the hay, and about three
miles south and east of Knappton,
picked up a small sail bom, with gear
intact and capsized, but nothing in
nor about her to indicate who had
been in her. She was painted white,
and was well kept, and bore the name
"Irene, of San Francisco." Captain
Evanson towed the derelict to the
mill dock and will be glad to have the
earliest
moment. He is morally certain she
must have been in very recent use as
nothing shows her to have been aban
doned for any length of time.

Serious Runaway-
While ascending the Fourteenth
street hill yesterday morning to make
a delivery, William E. Smith, the
well known drayman, met with a run
away that might have been very ser
ious for him. His team was approach
ing the scene of street improvement
going on at Jerome avenue, and in
crossing the big hose that ran along
the intersection and was boarded
over for team purposes, the water
squirted up through the planking into
the iart of the horse of . the team
mostly given to fractious freaks, and
the scare started by the adjacent donkey-engine,
was completed, and the
horses made a dash down hill, throw-
ine Mr. Smith to the street. He land-
in-law of Aug. Hildebrand, while
driving out of the city to his subur
ban home, took the old country by
way that leads south from the sum
mit of Sixteenth street, and upon one
side of which there is a precipitous
declivity with a lot of rock scattered
on the bottom. As Mr. Christian
neared the top of the by-way grade;
his horse stopped for some reason and
began to back, and nothing the aged
driver could do seemed to check
him; suddenly the wagon was cramp
ed toward the edge of the jump
off and before a thing could be done
to ward it, the whole outfit went over,
backwards, into the hollow. A kindly
fate intervened to spare the situation
the dreadful possibilities with whica
it was rife; and Mr. Christian was
found to be unhurt, the wagon on h
wheels; with the shafts in splinters.
the harness broken badly, the old
ed on his neck and right shoulder 'white horse roughly skinned up, btrt
badly wrenching the latter and bruis
ing him, but not enough to send him
to bed. The wagon was smashed up
badly, but the animals were stopped
before they did any graver injury. It
was a narrow squeak at best.
