" of this city, and of Bandon, who, with his family, haa just returned to this city from there, after a successful packing season, may eventually move to that country, as his interests are growing rapidlv there.

We have tltetn. w.; c.lAvs &- col We desire to express our appreciation of past favors and extend our sheerest wishes for A Joyous Christmas to all Win Tie Doll- Miss Maggie Laws, of 514 Grand avenue, is the fortunate winner of tha beautiful doll valued at $14 that has been given away by the Waterman Department Store last night to the person coming the closest to guessing the eorrect number of shot that have been disployed in a small glass tumb ler for the last ten days in one of the windows of the store. After counting the shot last night Mr. Waterman found that the glass contained just 2063 of the small lead balls and as Miss Laws' guess was 2036, just 27 of bcina the exact number, she was awarded the prize. Over 500 guesses were cast among them several others that came pretty near being the right number but Miss Laws' closest oppon ent was Miss Annie Henderson whose iruess read 2166. There has been con siderable interest shown during the last week or so and for the last few dava the contest grew quite exciting. The doll is a beautiful affair being a China one, attired in the latest and most fashionable clothes in the doll world. It stands fully three feet high and is no doubt being shown by the happy winner to many admirers this morning.

With a razor Quigley had evidently struck two or three times, and left a single gash that reached almost from ear to ear. But ; he . had failed to strike in deep and neither the jugular vein or windpipe was severed. It is said that this is the second time Quig ley has attempted to take hs life. He is a comparatively-young man, and it is probable his mind is slightly de ranged, judging from remarks somt what incoherently made by the wounded man yesterday.
