When asked, "Where are the other wit nesses?" he replied, "They are all dead like myself." Two strangers, apparently respectable men, were brought before Justice , Doherty today at the instance of one ' Buffenton from Antelope and Tom Sul livan of this city. The trouble occurred on the streets of the city at an early hour yesterday morning. One of the men was discharged and one plead guilty and was fined five dollars. A Practical Joke. There is an orchard within the limits of a town not a hundred miles from The Dalles that was the scene of a wsll ex ecuted practical joke last Saturday night, and the story will do to tell for the amusement of the Chronicle readers. Pat, the youngest of three young men, who are working on the same job, was smitten, last week, with aaintense long ing for some of the big luscious peaches in the aforesaid orchard and had, on several occasions suggested to Joe, one of his chums, the propriety of making- a nightly raid on them. The chum thus approached, who had been brought up piously, withstood the temptation for a ' time but at last consented and fifed Saturday night at 9 :4o o'clock for the raid. Jim, the third chum, being one of the Misses on the job on which they were all working was not supposed by Pat to know anything about what was going on although he knew it all. Meanwhile a fourth party, a business man of the town, had been let into the secret and fur nished with a borrowed policeman's star, for what purpose will immediately ap pear. True to time Pat and 'Joe ap peared at the try sting place and were soon inside the orchard fence. Pat after ward remembered, though he took little notice of it at the time, that Joe kept very close to the fence while he urged his companion to hurry off and fill his pockets with fruit. No time was to be. lost and in a little while Pat's pockets were bulging out with green prunes, "hard enough"..as the pseudo-policeman afterwards said to "knock down a bull.?' At this moment the hand of the false policeman was laid roughly on Pat's coat collar while he demanded angrily, "What are you doing here' Pat was dumb founded but he managed to say some thing to the effect that it was none of his business. . "I arrest you for stealing peaches" said the policeman. "Go to " said Pat, but the words died upon his lips as the dim moonlight displayed the policeman's star and changing his tone he only said "111 go with you ; do you want the peaches," as he took out of his pocket a fist full of green prunes, and handed them to the officer of the law(?). Meanwhile "Joe had jumped back over the fence and he and Jim were "watching Pat's dillema till ' the tears rolled down their cheeks with suppressed laughter. As Pat began to realize his Fupposed position he begged hard to be released. "I have never been in a scrape of this kind before" he said. "You know my bread and butter depends upon my character. If any of the bosses would hear of this I would be ruined. Can't you let me off? Is there no way I can get otft of this without exposure?" "Well, yes I might let you go this time, if you put up something" said the po liceman(?). "How 'much,?" said Pat eagerly. "A dollar" was the answer. "A dollar !" Here it is, and, hold on, there's a quarter to buy yourself some cigars and I'm ever so much obliged to you besides, . said . Pat. lne two sep arated and Pat was no sooner outside the orchard than he was met by Joe who heard with well feigned interest the story of Pat's release. "I'd have given him ten dollars to get off" said Pat. "I would not for twice that sum that the boss should have known it. Last night a quiet little party of five sat down to a modest supper in one of the leading resturants of this city. Pat was an invited guest and while the meal was being discussed he heard for the first time, from the lips of the policeman who arrested him, that it was all a joke and that the dollar and a quarter had helped to pay for the supper. Pat heard the revelation with perfect good nature and promised to get even with the boys some other time and the company separated, after the scribe, who was one of the party, had been strictly charged to say nothing about it. . THAT ENCAMPMENT. The Way In Which the La Grande rette" Pnta It. The following article is copied from the La Grande Oazette and is published here to show how utterly low down some menjean get. Some more of Colonel T. A. Hough ton's fine work has come to light in con nection with the 3d regiment encamp, ment recently held near The Dalles The pay allowed militiamen in encamp ment is two ana tnree dollars per day for commissioned officers and a dollar and a half a day for non-commissioned officers and privates. Company K turned out forty-eight men and last week the pay roll came up in which pri vates were aliowed nine, and commis sioned officers twelve an eighteen dol lars for-the six days' encampment. The pay roll in this condition was duly signed, but when the time came last Tuesday evening for receiving checks each member's pay was discounted thirty-five cents. This was explained as being the amount due from each soldiers for the use of alleged mattresses during the encampment. As a matter of fact the mattresses were made of couple of wool sacks and each mattress accommodated six soldiers, and in this way every mattress, provided at an ex pense' of about seventy-five cents, bas yielded a return of $2.10. It is a dead, rank steal and that's all that can be made of it, and the transaction shows itself to be such ' on the face of it. Otherwise it would not have been neces sary to procure the boys' signatures to the pay roll and then give them a check for thirty-five cents less than the amounts signed for. This amount could not be deducted on the pay roll so as to show for itself as a straightforward transac tion, but must be filched from the boys at the last moment, when it was thought that the amount being so small that no onewould make a kick but would as they in fact were be glad to get any thing. . . Still, this little, small job on the part of the Colonel was not unexpected, when he paid $300 rental for a stubble field three miles from The Dalles for a camp ground, instead of accepting the free use of the fair grounds for that purpose. There was no "divy" coming on the fair ground proposition, and no chance to sell the boys circus lemonade. It would be interesting to know how much these and similar side issues netted the Col onel during the encampment. The cost of the mattress referred , to was not provided for in the stale appro priation. It occurred to .the officers at headquarters that-if a cheap straw mat tress were provided for the men they would gladly pay the cost in preference to sleeping on the hard ground. The captain of Company K at La Grande was consulted by letter, as were the cap tains of all other companies. Word came from all points that the boys would pay for the mattress and from Company K with the rest. Colonel Houghton or- dered from the firm of Prinz & Nitschke of this city the material for eighty mat tresses, each one of which contained seven yards of burlap seveuty-six inches wide. The burlap cost sixteen cents a yard, the cutting and making costd twenty cents each and the firm charged a profit of eight cents each, that is $6.40 on a sale, amounting to, $112.' ' When the Gazette talks of a dead steal he dis plays the density . of. his ignorance, These mattresses had to be filled with Straw. The straw, and the hauling and filling cost $39.50.' These: figures will show where . a "chance for a steal came in.,. It was .all, the other way. . .The mattresses were furnished at a loss. '"As regards the $300 rental" for the alleged stubble field: as The Dalles paid the rent, when this city kicks it will be time enough for Company K to begin and not till then. ."The fact that the boys signed the pay roll before receiving their checks is only conformity w'th the custom. It is done so all the time. The boys of Company K promised to pay thirty-five cents each for the mat tresses. When this amount is deducted from their checks they kick, and they kick because thev are built that way. It was they and the company from Ba ker City that made .all the trouble that was experienced during the encampment and the best thing that the adjutant general ever did in his life would be to fire both companies out of the regiment. The Brains of Oiegon Going to Utah. Governor Pennoyer can appreciate a joke as well as, anybody. Seeing that the Times-Mountaineer had been criticis ing the governor's appointees to the Utah convention for lack of brains, busi ness capacity, want of intelligence on matters, relating to irrigation of arid lands, and because they were not repre sentative men, and learning, perhaps, that if Mr. Michell were appointed he migKt treat the convention to his famous essay on the destructive effects of the Hessian fly on the' orchards of Oregon, he determined to amend the wrong he had unintentionally done to the state, by appointing such lunk heads as the editor of the Chronicle, and when the opportunity came, bv the resignation of Mr. Morgan, Mr. Michell was promptly appointed to fill his place. That settles the whole question of brains, business capacity, intelligence and representation with one dash of the pen. The Cimoxi- cle extends congratulations to Mr, Michell and the state of Oregon and thanks to Governor Pennoyer. The only fear we. have is that one engine will hardly besafficient to haul to Salt Lake City two such great men as the editors of the Chronicle and Times-Mountaineer. SAID HE WAS IN HEAVEN. The TJdd Story of a Boy Who Sleens Many Days at a Stretch - utile Jessie sstritt, oi Seymour, lnd., is asleep again. Eighteen months ago he startled the medical fraternity in this' part of the state by his continued sleep of twenty-one days. From this he ral lied and said to his parents that he had been in heaven, from which place he looked down upon his ; father while en gaged at work in Illinois. He described the exact work in which his father wa engaged in' an adjoining state while he was asleep. For four months after his awakening he was natural in his sleep and gained much strength. Some six months ago he informed his mother that he was again going to sleep, and, notwithstand ing all efforts to keep him awake, did so. He was not aroused for seven days during all of which time he neither ate nor drauk anything. Aroused from this nap, which is now called his short one, he again became natural in his habits and grew very rapidly. About 11 o'olock July 18, he entered a store and sank upon the floor. Since that -time he has been in a very pro found sleep. He is very pale, - breathes regularly, with natural pulsation and not - the slightest indication of fever or pain. Popular With Americans.
