A Stock Raiser Had an Exciting Ad venture With Tbe Robbers. ' TH ET TOOK A SHOT AT HIM. Sontaf Still Carries His Arm la 811ns;. Aad Both Had Cans; Backs Wrap ped A round "Their Fees. Feksno, Cal. Dec. 9. A report has reached here, by way of Lemoore, that Evans and Son tag have been seen in White Deer valley. Detectives are scat tered all over tbe mountains in disguise, and several of them visited White Deer valley, a secluded region lying several miles back of Sampson's flat. Very few persons live in that locality, it being merely a stock range. It was suspected that Evans and Sontag had a winter' camp among the hills somewhere hear ihistplace, and an effort was made to trace them to it. Among those owning cattle in that region is Edwin Dooley, who had an exciting adventure with the train robbers. Some sportsmen ' among whom was Rev. Led ford, of Lemoore, were hunting in the White Deer valley, and left their horses with. Dooley who turned them into the pasture with his own animals. One of the horse9 es caped and Dooley was searching for it. While following a trail a short -distance from the iiouse, he heard a shot and felt a bullet whistle - past him. He turned around and, looking up, saw sontag and bvans standing not more than 30 yards away. ' They accosted him in a harsh manner and asked - trim what he was doing there, and whether or not he was taking care of pack horses be longing to the detectives. Dooley as sured the bandits that he had nothing at all to do with the detectives, but in in the meantime tbev put a convenient tree between the bandits and him self, as he was fearful lest the next time their aim might prove more accurate He said that Sontag still carried his arm in a sling, due to the wound received in a fight with a posse at Young's cabin, and both men had their feet wrapped up in gunny sacks presumably to prevent their making tracks. . Canyon City t Defaulter Caught. San Francisco, Dec. 8. E. A. Brack ett was arrested today by Detective Cody upon a requisition from the governor of Oregon. In 1887 Brackett was clerk of the school district at Canyon City, Grant county, and taking about $1,100 of the district's funds, tied. An indictment was found by the grand jury, but it was only a few weeks ago that Brackett was traced, and then he was serving 250 days as "trusty" in the city prison for carry ing concealed weapons. Since his re lease he had been working for a local coal and wood dealer. Sheriff Combs and Deputy Brown will take him back immediately. Clis' in the Cotton. Trade. London, Dec. 8. Secretary Mawdsley, of the Lancashire operative spinners, said today that in his opinion the crisis in the cotton trade would not be reached before the end "of January.-; The accumu lated stocks would then be exhausted. Orders for the spring trade would raise prices and the master spinners would find it necessary to reconsider their present decision. -. Queer world 1 Queer people ! Hereaie men nd women by thousand suffering from all sorts of diseases, bearing-all manners of pain, spending their ail. on physicians and "getting no better, - but rather worse," wiien right at hand there's a' remedy which says it can help the ,i because it'e helped thousands like them: "Another patent-medicine ad vertisement," you say. Yes but not of the ordinary sort. The medicine is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and it's different from the ordinary nos trums in this: It does what it claims to do, or it cogtt you nothing! The way is this: You pay your drug dist $1.00 for ' a bottle. . Yon read the directions, and you follow them. Yon get better or you don't. If you do, you buy another . bottle, and perhaps an other. If you don't get better, you get your money back. And the queer thing is that sd many people are willing to be sick when the remedy's so near at hand. Timely Invention. St. Paul Press. Frank Millet, whose name on the corner of a square makes it worth a small fortune, has invented a machine to paint tbe white building! at Jackson park, with the assistance of this I machine two men can smear as much paint or kolsomine as forty men with brushes. The invention is a very simple one. It works like a charm, and aside from the speed with which it decorates a building, it possesses the advantage of never going out on a strike or quarrel ing with the boss for shorter hours or larger pay. Necessity was the mother of this invention. It would have been impossible to get enough of painters in tbe building to color them before the gates opened, and the expense would have been enormous.. , Somebody men tioned this. to Mr. Millet one day and he went to work to produce the machine. After a number of experiments he put the device in running order. It is sim ply a gaspipe about a foot long pounded j flat at one end eo as to leave an opening about an inch across and wide enough to insert a . sheet of cardboard. This pipe is attached to a long piece of rubber hose. The other end of the hose is dipped in a barrel of paint, and an elec tric motor pumps a current of air and a lot of paint through the hose. The force of the air scatters the , paint in- a line spray as it comes from the gaspipe. The painter simply seises the gaspipe, holds It about eighteen inches from the surface he is decorating, the electric motor is started and the work is done. Floor Outlook. The Commercial Review in summing up the. flour trade and the' prospects for the future, says the outlook for better prices for flour is not yet very encourag ing, and from appearances flour is going down.': We are informed that mills arr selling flour at $3.30 per barrel. This is a loss to the mill owner, and shows poor business judgment. The only remedy millers have at the present market price is to close down their mills. There is an over-production now for the Port land market, and it seems foolish ' to run their mills losing money. '. The mills -in Oregon and Washington made no money in 1891 and we are positive that they are all losing money this year. We have not yet seen a plan of the O. & W. Millers' Association that is feasible to overcome this loss. The best plan at the present time is to close down your mill and await a rise in the market. Not Worthy of Improvements. Washington, Dec. 8. Captain Sy mons, who was directed to examine Rogue river, from Grants Pass to its mouth, reports to the war department that the river is not worthy improve ment, and congress is advised to make no appropriation for the purpose. He says there are too many waterfalls and rapids in the river, and the commerce does not justify improvements at the mouth of the river. Official Figure from Massachusetts, Boston, Dec. 9, Tbe official vote of Massachusetts shows the highest repub lican.vote for an elector was 202,914; the highest democratic vote, 176,813.. Gov ernor Russell's plurality over Lieutenant Governor Haile was 2,534. Insurance Company Retire. Olympia, Dec. . 10. Secretary Weir was notified yesterday that the Cascade Fire Insurance company, of Seattle, has reinsured all its unexpired business i the Farmers' Insurance company, of that city, and will go out of business Wasco News says : The matter , of using convict labor to improve our pub lic highways is being seriously agitated in the state and it is more than likelv the matter will at least be given a trial. It receives general indorsement, as in this way convict labor can be used with out coming in competition with legiti mate free labor. There is - a large amount of work needed on the roads in this state. The Rothschild proposition and scheme in the Monetary conference," is declared to be the same with a few slight modifi cations as that of one Levi, a German financier of snill pretentions, who ad vanced the idea ten years ago, and no attention was given it, because he was not a Rothschild. : Highest of all in Leavening Power.

Bertram Currie and Sir William Houlds- . - . - - -- - - , worth Have not a Single View. DISLIKE BACH OTHER'S VIEWS. To Fool the Conference in Coming; to any General or Special Solution of the Silver Question. Brussels, Dec. 6. The bimetal list delegates to the international monetary conference are discussing whether or not they shall unite in signing a memo randum on the obstruction offered by Great Britain to a determination of the questions before the conference. If the conference resumes its sittings after a prolonged adjournment, such a protest, it is conceived, is likely to induce the British government to present to the conference a decided policy . through its delegates acting in unison thereon. The present British delegation appears to have been sent purposely to muddle the proceedings. There is . no cohesion among ' tbe British representatives, either as to principle, or procedure. Each delegate appears to act as an indi vidual agent, except Sir C. Rivers Wil son and Sir Fremantle, deputy master of the British mint, the. latter of wh im used his official position to declaim any responsibility for the proposals pre sented by Rothschilds. Bertram Currie and Sir William Houldsworth have not a single idea in common, and have a -strong mutual contempt for each other's views. - Neither. General Strachy nor Sir Guilford Mplesworth, the Indian del egates, nave .otnciai orders as to tne course to take. It has been made clcir the British government has purposely avoided giving any instructions tending; to the common action of its delegates upon any point whatever. It is now obvious this course was designed to foot the conference in coming to any general or special solution of the silver question. Two Brave Girls Save a Train Front Xiaster. Tacoma, Dec. '8. Two brave girls, with a lantern, saved a heavilv laden Southern Pacific -passenger train from total destruction, near Grant's Pass, Or., Wednesday evening. The wreckers had removed the outside rail over the high trestle across Cow creek canyon, and had not tbe engineer been signaled just as he was approaching it, the entire train would -have plunged to the bottom at the rocky gulch, 45 feet below. The full story of' the attempted wreck, which the Southern Pacific evidently sup pressed, is told bere tonight by Dr. G. V. Calhoun, one of the Washington presidential electors, who arrived this evenini; from California. He savs that the displaced rail was discovered by two young ladies who crossed the trestle with a lantern just before the train ar- rird Thftv wprt hnrrifipd at thfi dis covery. Just then the train was heard approaching. One of the girls instantly rushed up the track swinging the lan tern over her head, seeing whfch the 'en gineer stopped the train at the approach of the- trestle. The train consisted of twelve cars containing 250 passengers and Dr. Calhoun eays the loss of life would have been frightful had the train not been stopped. The wreckers did j the work'quickly, sis the track was . all right when the watchman passed over j the trestle half an 'hour before train time. When the passengers learned of j their narrow escape they made up a purse and appointed a committee to learn the identity of the brave -irls and buy each an appropriate ' Christmas present. ' PURE
