MARSHFIELD.
MARSHFIELD, July . While out
hunting in- the timber near this town re
cently Frank Rogers and Floyd Coffelt
had a most peculiar experience. At about
sundown they heard what they v sup
posed to be a deer coming through the
brush. Watching quietly they soon saw
the creature, come Into the open about
100 yards away, and then saw it was a
man.
Rogers hailed m, but Instead of an
swering, he- dodged behind a treewThey
hailed again, but all the answer he would;
make was to ask them what they
wanted.
He did not show himself again, sq that
they could get a look at him, and after
remaining In the vicinity until nearly
dark they' went away and made camp
for the night. In, the limited chance
they had at considerable distance, they
could only see that the stranger was a
medium-slied man of dark complexion
knd wearing dark clothes. It 4s thought
he was some fugitive who had taKen to
the woods for safety.

(Journal Special Service.)
PENDLETON. Ore.. ".'July SO.There
are tons of dead ee,ls today tn the Uma
tilla river, lying along the shoals in the
city-limits. They average from two feet
to two and a half feet in length, and
have attracted great crowds to the river,
banks all day. Upon Investigation the
cause of the phenomena was easily ex
plained. For a long time the mill race
of the Pendleton Flouring Mills has been
literally filled with these eels, which
could not get above the water wheel.
The entire length of the race form the
wheel to the river . has been swarming
with these animals for' some time, and It
became necessary a fe days ago for the
milling company to make some repairs,
and the water was drawn off from the
main channel of the race and turned
back into the river above the water
wheel. It was today turned back Into the
race, and it developed that the eels had
died and their dead bodies were washed
out from the race Into the river, where
they lodged along the shoals which they
now occupy for miles along the river,
beginning in the cnetral portion of the
city. .

How a Victoria News Agent Placed
- a Bulletin on the Outlaw

"While H. S. Rowe nd J. W. Casey,
general agent and traveling passenger
the Pacific Northwest, they saw some
amusing things. "Jim" Casey tells with
much enjoyment a matter that came un
der their view while at Victoria, B. C.
To quote him this Is the story:
"Tnere is a man at Victoria," said he,
"who was ' formerly a newspaper re
porter, but I am glad to say that he
reiajpifrd, and went Into the cigar and
news stand business. He'e a . hummer,
and la all the time getting up schemes to
draw a crowd to his joint.
"While Mr. Rowe and I were at Vic
toria we took a walk around his way.
He had a bulletin board out"ta front,
upon which he had chalked a fake tele
gram, purporting to be a 'Special Wire
From Seattle.' It read:
" 'Tracy will lead the parade of the
Elks' Carnival protected by the Washing
ton state militia. After the parade he
will be given 33 1-4 hours start and will
be furnished with a grub stake.' "
This shows that the Canadians look
