A bridge .was stolen from the upper
road leading to Floyd's last Sunday and
put across a gulch in the lower road
near the same place. Parties on the
upper road have organized and will
watch next Sunday for fear the road will
be swiped next. : Stealing a public high
way on Sunday is a very bad form of
highway robbery.

Successful Gold Mining.
The company recently formed for
working the golden sands of Pasco, or
along the Columbia and Snake near
there, have put in place a machine cost
ing $23,000, and have given it a thorough
test. It proved entirely satisfactory,
saving all the fine gold and giving a
yield of nearly a dollar, for each cubic
yard worked. The 'company is so well
satisfied that eleven more machines have
been sent for. If as' successful as is
claimed for them, it will not be strange
to see hundreds of them along the
Columbia, and the gold yield of Oregon
and Washington forced high up in the
millions.

Last night Night watchman Gibons
was given a pointer that some suspi
cious characters were in 'need of watch
ing, a pointer that proved to be emi
nently correct. About 1 o'clock this
morning, or shortly after that lime, he
discovered that the gang had broken in
to Mays & Crowe's store. . Gibons came
down through the alley back of the
burned Vogt building, - and saw three
men standing by the back window of
the shop in the rear of the store. At
the same time he-heard a whistle, and
thinking it was Watchman Schooling,
he went towards them. In a moment
he discovered that he had made a mis
take, for he was covered with a rifle and
ordered to "come on over." He halted
and the order was repeated, and again
declined. "You had better come, or
your're a dead man," said the man
with the rifle. Gibons' tall figure in
the brighf moonlight made a conspicu
ous target. He was only 80 fee distant
and he knew the voice belonged to a
man known as an expert marksman.
But the nervy officer replied that he
would not advance an inch. He turned
in an opposite direction, and gaining a
bit of shadow, opened fire on the three
robbers. He fired three shots and a
like number was fired at him. Their
bullets grazed him on both sides, but ha
was not hit. The robbers then ran to
ward the alley by Ward's stable and
escaped, Gibons still pursuing them by
a short cut through Mr. Hill's dooryard.
There are supposed to be five or six
in the gang. Gibons recognized the
three outside, but knew only one by
name John Hawthorn, the gun expert.
The other two have since been learned
to be Walter Rowe and Smith, the for
mer - quite well known here. Gibons
immediately had three warrants sworn
out for Hawthorn, "John Doe" and
"Richard Roe," and notified the sher
iff and deputy.
Early this morning a posse, consist
ing of Deputy Sheriff Pbirman, Ralph
Gibons, J. H. Blakeney, Frank Klein,
Otis Savage,. John Jackson and
G. W. Runyon, started , in pursuit,
but as the criminals have a good start
and on intimate acquaintance with the
country, the probability of their capture
is not great.
The robbers got away with five revol
vers and one Winchester rifle. This is
the second time Mays & Crowe have had
their store burglarized, which indicates
that their goods are satisfactory to those
who may be considered experts, "y

Evans and Sontag."
The play of "'Evans and Sontag" was
produced at Liberty hall last evening to
a 'large and appreciative audience, and
was very well rendered, considering that
the company was handicapped by the
smallnees of the stage and the impossi
bility of using all their scenery and
accessories. - Many people attended the
performance on account of it being said
that the performance was immoral and
gave a bad example to the youth. The
opinions of the majority of the witnesses
of the play last evening was exactly
opposite, as the lesson conveyed by it
was the tried and true one that "the way
of the transgressor is hard," and any
boy who would be tempted to become a
train robber or an outlaw by seeing it is
a born fool or a criminal by instinct.
The play depicts faithfully the cowardice
of some of the detectives and blood-hunters
engaged in the search, and the
bravery and desperation of the outlaws ;
but we do not think that any would de
sire to have the fate of Evans and Son
tag befall him. This evening the per
formance will be repeated, no doubt to
a- crowded house, as it should be, as it
has proven a" big success. Astoria Bad

The weather has been so wet and
gloomy at Hood River this spring that
the strawberries almost got discouraged.
A prominent berry grower down there
told us recently that the finest sight he
ever saw, was to stand on the hill above
bis berry patch on a sunshiny day, after
a spell of wet weather and watch the
berries sun themselves. He assured us
on his hp.nor that the berries would roll
over and shake themselves with . the
same evident enjoyment a bird dog finds
in perfuming himself in the remains of
a deceased salmon. He told this as' we
said on his honor but his honor like his
berries, is probably a trifle shaky.
