- The friends of Judge AVatkins have
circulated a comparative record of the
work done by himself, when on the
bench of this judicial district and that of
Judge Bradahaw, the present incu'mbent.
The Sun tnade such a fuss about it that
' the public became aDxious to see it.
Indeed the Sun dared the friends of
Judge AVatkins to' publish it, leaving
the impression that it was so favorable
to Judge Bradshaw that the friends of
Judge AVatkins dare not publish it. But
the Dufur Dispatch met the Sun' de
mand and published the statement and
there the writer saw it for the first
time. We now present it to the readers
ofc the Ciiboxiclr who can judge for
themselves, if it deserves half the hard
things the Sun has said about it.
WASCO COUNTY.
Bradshaw held in all 64 judicial days,
and tried in all 27 jury cases.
. Watkins held in all 35 judicial days,
and tried in all 24 jury cases.
Whole number days Bradshaw held
longer than Watkins," 29.
Whole number jury cases tried more
than Watkins, 3.

"Whole number days held by Wat
kins, S.
Whole number jury cases tried, 5.

to 'the truth of "this statement
in 'their respective counties are well
known, honorablo men and accept-
efnfamant oo fail an1 trilQ
1 bill UVIIW.'IVl.U HQ ... " . HUl Wf,
"which we believe it to be, we have a
Record that neither of the "judges need
be ashamed of. As the Fossil Journal
of last week puts it : "Judge Watkins,
the republican nominee, and Judge
Bradshaw, the democratic nominee, have
both made a good record for rushing
business, each having served an unex-
' pired term on the circuit bench by ap
. pointuient. It urged by Judge Wat
kin's friends that his record for a
"rueher" is superior to that of Brad
shaw, and this is denied by Judge Brad
shaw's friends, who claim the opposite.
The "comparative record" gives Wat
! kins the better allowing in this respect,
and the letter from the Wasco Co. Dem.
Cen. Com., even admitting all its state
ments to be correct and impartial, still
'',iv Wnt.lrina tli f-kAfter firtia Fni. ov-
y ample, the letter says that Judge Taylor
'tried seven cases for Watkins his first
term. That brings his record down to
"23 judicial days and 10 jury cases for
that term, (there being 17 jury cases in
all;, but still leaves him ahead of Brad
shaw, who held 25 judicial days, and
tried 10 jury cases during his first term
The statement that Judge Bird left a.
large amount of work for Judge Brad
affects the average time taken up by
each case. In fact, Judge Bradshaw
-made a better average in bis first term
Mn Wasco than in his third. In regard
vto equity cases, - nothing has - been
'brought forward to indicate that one
judge tried more of them than the other.
"Both judges have certainly made a
record in the line of rushing that ought
to satisfy the most exacting. We have
heard nothing derogatory to the charac
ter of either of these gentlemen. Both
uave snown memseives well qualified
for the office. It is urged by republicans
that Judge Watkins has lived in the dis
trict about 20 years, and is closer identi
fied with the people than Judge Brad
shaw, who has been in the district about
three or four years. Judge AVatkins
having served in the Oregon senate last
session, was very instrumental' in se
curing the portage railroad around the
Cascades, which has greatly benefited
On the other hand Judge Bradshaw,
being the-, present incumbent, has be
" come well known also, and very popular
with his party, we respect and esteem
both these gentlemen, and regret that a
portion of the press of this state should
bring reproach upon "'the high -office to
which they aspire, . by imputing, base
motives to one of tha candidates and hia
friends, and thus engendering- party bit
terness" ' ,' ' - . ' 0
THis Chronicle means to be perfectly
fair towards Judge Bradshaw, who has
made anexcellent judge and is himself a
most worthy citizen but, in no respect
can he be said to . have any advantage
over Judge Watkins, while the people of
the district owe Judge AVatkins a debt of
gratitnde for his work in connection with
the Cascade portage that they will never
be able to pay. In one word, there is no
reason under heaven why any man who
is a republican should scratch his ticket
in favor of Judge Bradshaw.
F1GHTINS WITH A BA300N.
A -Man's Desperate Hand to Hand Battle
with, a Monster Anthropoid.
I was walking through my lands and
had my gun with me, and the baboons
were screaming on the top of the rocky
precipice that overhangs my homestead.
The dogs in the farmyard, on hearing
the noise the baboons were making,
rushed - up to the mountain and were
oon engaged in a deadly fight. I took
up my gun and climbed up the moun
tain for the purpose of ' assisting the
dogs and in the hope of saving them
from being torn to pieces. When 1
reached the summit of the krantz a
number of baboons fled. 1 fired and
wounded one in the shoulder; he was
immediately pursued and tackled by the
only dog left, the others having been
torn to pieces. The struggle for life or
death was taking place between the
wounded baboon and the dog on the
very brink of a precipice. I had not an
other cartridge for my gun, so I put it
down and picked up a -couple of large
stones and walked to within a few
yards of the spot.
I was just in the act of hurling one of
them at the baboon when suddenly a
tremendous male baboon, the largest 1
have seen, came straight at me in a bold
and defiant manner, his eyes gleaming
with anger and his huge jaws working
together as if in anticipation of the
crunching that was in .store for me. 1
just, had time to hurl the stone in my
now upraised hnd at linn when he was
upon me. He seized me by the leg first
and bit me with such violence that I
thought every bone in my leg was
smashed to atoms. I kicked with all
my might, I tried to get hold of a stone,
I attempted to seize him by the . throat,
dealt him several blows with the fist,
but it was all useless; the strength of
the enraged African mandril overpow
ered me completely. '
After he had finished with my leg he
raised himself on his hind legs, put his
arm around me and seized hold of me on
the chest with his powerful jaws. What
could I do? Every now and then ho let
go his hold of my breast and snapped at
my throat. I seized him by the throat
with my right hand and clinched my
fingers, but he would not yield his grasp
for a single moment. Every time 1
moved he dragged me nearer to the edge
of the precipice, and we were now with
in three feet of the brink and the ground
sloping down to it. I knew that if I for
a moment -lost my footing down we
should go into the chasm below. The
wounded baboon and the dog, that were
responsible for the awful predicament in
which I now found myself, had just
rolled over into the abyss. We had been
at it nearly an hour, and . as the baboon
showed no signs of releasing me I felt 1
should not be able to hold out much
longer, as I am an old man, considerably
over sixty.
At this stage I bethought myself of a
penknife I had in my waistcoat pocket.
If I could only get it out 1 might ward
him off by stabbing him in the face. I
gradually got my left hand into my
pocket and got the knife, the. brute
scratching and tearing my face with his
hands all the while. I got .it to my
mouth and held it there till I had an
opportunity of opening it with my left
hand. I then began stabbing and prod
ding him, but the knife was not large
enough to do him mnch'damge. I drew
blood, however, the sight of which only
made him more vicious still. By this
time I had scarcely a vestige of clothing
left, and my lacerated body bore tokens
of what a south African baboon can do
when he chooses to tackle and fight an
unarmed man.
I was wondering how all this was go
ing to end, when one of the dogs that
had been wounded in the fight and had
recovered sufficiently to make his way
to - where we were seized the animal
from behind. I felt the brute wished to
get at thejjog. JJaihrey himself from
me upon the" dog; they had one rough
and tumble, and then the baboon walked
sullenly away along the ridge of the
precipice, looking back from time to
time as if undecided whether he should
renew the attack. ' It was some time be
fore I could recover sufficient strength
to descend the .mountain. I got home,
.however, and the dog, too, after an en
counter such as I shall never forget, and
the like of which I hope never to expo
.rience again. Graff -Beinet Advertiser.
- Count Pulaski's Horsemanship.
In the American army of the Revolu
tion there were few who could equal
Count Pulaski either in horsemanship
or as a swordsman. His' feats were the
wonder and envy of . his officers, and
many were the serious injuries received
in trying to imitate, him. It is related
of him that, with his horse at full gal
lop and lie always rode a. magnificent
charger lie would discharge his pistol,
toss it in tne air and eaten it by the bar-
rel, then hurl it at some object in ad
vance; and then, without' in the least
checking .the speed of his horse, he
would sup one foot from . the" stirrup,
and, bending over . toward the ground,
recover his pistol and wheel into line
with as much precision as though be
were . engaged in ordinary exercise.

NEAV TO-DAY.
TO THE PUBLIC It having come
to our knowledge that a party in
The Dalles in selling lime has made the
assertion that he charges more for other
brands than the "Oregon" because they
are better, thereby -implying that the
"Oregon' is-an inferior article, we desire
to state that the "Oregon" is the strong
est lime on the market; that it will work
more plastic and leave the work when set
stronger and firmer than any other lime at
present manufactured in either Oregon
or AVashington. Win. Butlerdk Co., Agents
at The Dalles for the "Oregon" lime, are
instructed to furnish, free of charge, any
and all Oregon lime, which does not fully
come up to the stipulations . above set
forth. The object of this notice is solely
to defend our goods against the false im
putations and statements of any person
whatsoever. The Or. Marble and Lime
