The open-air concert given last nigh t
was highly appreciated by a large con

A few days ago as a big black boar was

routed the crickets from 'bis dominions

turn them loose in his grain fields. The
moment a cricket hears a hog flap his
ears that moment he remembers that
important business interests call him
elsewhere, and that Mr. Lewis' grain is

There will be a game of base-ball
played at the fair,grounds Sunday at 2
o'clock between Maple Dell club, of the
Cascade Locks, and The Dalles boys.

Mr. R. F. Wickhain-informs us that
the bo called "free bridgeV between, this
county and Sherman has six of its lateral
braces out of place at their ends, so that
they are liable to fall any time and en
danger the lives of passengers on heavily
loaded wagons.: It appears Mr. Harris,
the toll keeper, makes the same com
plaint. As we understand it the irons
and braces are out of place through
shrinkage of the timbers and. require to
be screwed up and tightened. If the
bridge, is in ..the condition reported . it
should be somebody's business to put it
in a safe condition.
From a resident of Antelope we learn

weign .tbre hundred and ever so many
pounds while Font is nearly all bones.
A little friendly banter ended in -a chal
lenge which in turn resulted in a contest
to see which could throw the other.
The contest came off all right but the
judges will have to appeal to the marquis
of Queensbury himself to decide who
was the victor. The judges agreed that
both "lay down" , at exactly the same
moment but Nat claims the victory, be
cause, being stouter than . Font, : when
both . "lay down" Nate's body was
higher in the air !

' ; . - - A LIt.-,.' Tire. . ... ; .
About : ten minutes ' after 4 o'clock
this morning the loud screeching of an
engine whistle at the company's shops
gave warning of fire. After a while the
bell responded and the fire boys turned
out to find that the fire was located in
the barn of Mr. John Marden, situated
about a hundred feet from his residence.
By the time the engine arrived the
building, and .contents were a mass of
flames from which it was impossible to
to save anything. The barn contained
twelve hacks and one buggy, the prop
erty of Messrs. Gibons, Macallister &
Co., and some tools belonging to Mr.
Marden. "Everything was lost, and the
worst of it is there was no insurance on
either building or contents.! The whole
property lost is estimated at about
$1,600. " The fire is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary. About
an hour before it started Mr. VanBibber
passed within a few feet of the place on
his way to the city and saw no indica
tion of fire. The door of the barn was
locked . and there was no place for the
ingress of tramps except by a back win
dow, which was kept nailed up.
hether this window had been tarn
pered with or not and the tire started
from the inside, it is impossible to tell

A Tax Payer Thinks It Should be Better
Attended to.
The Dalles, Or., June 5, 1891.
Kditok Chronicle : As a citizen of
The Dalles and one who is interested in
the protection of the city from destruction
by fire, I think it proper to call the
attention of the public to the
negligence of the man in charge
of the fire bell who fails to ring it
when repeatedly warned by the contin
uous whistling of the company's engine
that a fire was devastating the city.
Such was the case when the planing mill
burned, the whistle blew a very long
time before the alarm was sounded by
the ringing of the bell. It was the same
way this morning when Mr. Marden 's
barn was burned together with a laige
number of carriages. Is it not impera
tively necessary to remove the present
engineer and place a competent man in
charge there who will (attend to his
duties? This is something that every
citizen is interested in and ought to be
attended to at once.

A Buffalo Expreu Fiah Yarn.
There is an in intelligent fiah inhabit
ing the waters of Lake Erie in the vi
cinity of Buffalo. ' A couple' of men who
were out in a tug the other day had an
experience with him.. There was a rope
several ; leet long; dragging through the
water from the stern of the tnir. While
the vessel was going rfhead at a good
rate of speed, the engineer saw a large
uHii grao ine-ena-.oi wis rope in bis
moutn ana allow -it to tow him along. .
Thinking the fish had been caucht bv
the rope, the engineer attempted to pull
it aboard But as soorr as the rorje was
pulled out of the water the fi9h let go.
The rope was dropped again and again
the fish caught hold. There was nouns
taking his purpose. He was clearly try
ing to steal a rile. And he was success
ful. After being towed for a couple of
miles, the fish let go and disappeared.
When the tug was returning by the
same route the finned: tramp caught on
again and allowed ..himself to be towed
back to near the place where he was first
observed.
