A Narrow Squeak ,
At 7 o clock last evening as two
handcars on the A. & C. line swung
down over the trestle between the
O. R. & N. and Callender piers, run
ning close together, the foremost one
struck a board that had been care
lessly, or purposely, left on the
track at the very darkest points in
that stretch and only by the best of
good fortune the car kept the track.
Such "a trick as this "should be fer
reted out and the. perpetrator pun
isnca to the limit, ine cars were
loaded with Japanese workmen, with
the section foremen on the car in
volved in the contact. It was a won
dcr that a bad accident did not occur.

The Orcgonian of yesterday says:

connected with the Alaska Packers'
Association, arrived from Wrangcl,
Alaska, Sunday and registered at the
Imperial Hotel. Mr. Bablcr lives for
part of the year in the Northern ter
ritory. He said with reference to the
loss of the bark Star of Bengal, that
occurred September 23, that only one
side of the story has been told in the
newspapers, and that when the hear
ing before the inspectors at San
Francisco is over there will be some
thing brought out that will put a dif
ferent face on the cause of the
wreck. Just what is to develop in
the captain's report of the wreck and
the loss of 110 lives Mr. Babler was
not at liberty to say. He goes to
San Francisco tonight to be present
at the hearing."

driver took the free animal to the
barn and secured help and lights and
another team, returning to the scene
of disaster and after two hours' work
succeeded in releasing the imprison

barriers of any sort around the ditch,
which is an oversight that may cost
the city a pretty penny before the
matter is closed. There has been
considerable complaint of this sort
of neglect and it would be well for
far stricter attention to be paid these
places of danger.

Bondsmen Withdrew
Yesterday afternoon it was discov
ered by the sheriff that several of the
bondsmen who were signatory to the
bond in replevin given to release the
writ business and property of the
Hagar Theatre, were not qualified in
aw to appear upon such a bond, in
that they did not, with a single ex
ecution, own any real estate, which
the statutes declare they must pos'
sess, in this relation. Ana to save
himself from subsequent trouble or
the chance of it, Sheriff Pomeroy
called off the bond and took charge
of the house and property until Mr.
Hagar should meet the situation with
new and adequate bond. . This he
had not dono last evening, and the
popular house was closed to its
usual throng of patrons. Mr. Hagar
will undoubtedly clear the matter
today with another bond that shall
be above question, and proceed with
his business, and allow the suit to
recover, the property, brought by Mr.
Baker, to run to its farthest legiti
mate issue. It is said that a numbar
of business men yesterday, evening
tendered their personal checks to cov
er the sum of risk alleged to- exist,
out of sheer friendliness to Mr.
Hagar, who lias many friends here,
but they were all declined on the
score that they did not bear the
