SLEEK SWINDLERS.
Departure of Two Individuals Who Get
Away with Their Boodle.
The two adventurers who were suc
cessful in working the check racket here
left on the midnight train for way points
east. One was put off at the Willows,
and the other stopped off at Arlington.
The marshal is after them, and if he is
as successful as he ordinarily is when on
the track of a hobo, they are as good as
caught. The authorities here received
a dispatch from Mr. D. L. Cates, Cas
cade Locks, the morning of their ar
rival, stating that they had worked
the check game there, that they were
headed this way, and to look out for
them, lint it was too late when their
work was discovered. One of them goes
for a . sheepherder, while the other
dresses and acts like a polished gentle
man. He speaks high German, as well
as good English, and is so plausible that
one of our citizens was led to believe he
knew him before as a highly-respectable
employe of some stockman several years
ago, so smoothly can he talk. He wears
spectacles and looks like a professor of
music.
PERSONAL MENTION.
A Telegram reporter in yesterday'i
issue, prints an interview from a "well
known gentleman in Portland who just
returned froin.an extended trip through
Eastern Oregon."' If he is very well
known he must be known as a consum
mate liar. The entire article, nearly
column long, is told in a vein that
should inspire disbelief to the most
gullible, and a closer analysis would re
veal to a stupidly ignorant person that
the individual is possessed of Munchau
sen proclivities, minus that author
brilliance and plausibility. Note the
following. In the first column are ex
tracts from this interview and opposite
are the actual facts: -

Judge Deady Dylnj
Hon. Matthew P. Deady, judge of the
United States district court, is dying.
The judge, who has been rapidly fail
ing in health for several years, was taken
very in about two weeks ago, and since
then has been confined to his rooms in
The Hill. Although his condition has
been considered very serious, the an
nouncements were made that his indis
position was of a slight nature, and that
he would soon resume his seat on the
bench.
Dr. Curtis C. Strong, the attendir
physician, who has been almost con
stantly at J udge Deady's bedside, was
hastily summoned yesterday afternoon,
and found the patient sinking rapidly.
Dr. Holt C. Wilson was immediately
called in consultation, which lasted sev
eral hours, and both of the physicians
realized tha hopelessness of the case.
All night the judge lay in a comatose
condition, but this morning he rallied
sufficiently to be able to recognize' his
wife and sons, Paul R. Deady and Ed
ward N. Deady, who are constantly at
his bedside. Another consultation was
held this morning and the sick man's
family were given to understand that no
hope for recovery can be entertained.
The judge lies like one asleep, and
seems but the shadow of his former self.
He appears to suffer no acute pain, and
his condition ia due to a general break
ing down, induced by old age and over
taxation of the nervous system. i

A song just issued would indicate that
either men are getting scarce on this
terrestrial globe, or that the girls intend
to elevate the standard :
"My sweetheart's the man in the moon,
I m going to marry him soon.
"Twould fill me with bliss just togivehi n akiss,
But I know that a dozen I never would miss.
1 11 go up in a great big balloon
And see my sweetheart in the moon :
Then behind some dark cloud,
W here no one is allowed,
I'll make love to the man in the moon."

preventive and cure for cronp, and why
should they not insist upon having it.
