Mr. F. P. Taylor was riding a'cayusn

A correspondent sends us an amusing
description of a row that occurred near

but as it was a family affair, we give it
the benefit of a broad charity, and hence
do not print the details.
We received a communication yester
day evening, which on account of its
character, or lack of one, we cannot

this office.
A fire broke out in the coal mines at
Franklin, Wash., at noon yesterday.
The men gathered at the point where
the fire originated and undertook to put
it out, but in spite of al' efforts the fire
got away from them. Then they turned
to flee, but they had remained too long
and thirty-seven of them were asphyxi
ated.

The royal purple flag of China floats
proudly to the breeze from tbe pole
above the China store on First street.
Two golden streamers float over it. We
were told today by an enthusiastic celes
tial that it was kept floating to cele
brate the great Chinese victories over
the Japanese. When pressed as to
what victories were being celebrated,
he could not say, but like the old peem
he simply reiterated, the fact that "it
was a famous victory." According to
the dispatches, it is now expected that
the Chinese, having ten times the pop
ulation of its hated rival, intends to fall
on the latter and talk it to death.

A Dash and Repeat.
This morning about . 7 o'clock a horse
belonging to a Chinese vegetable ped
dler,' "and hitched to a light spring
wagon, was left standing on Court street
near the railroad. A passing engine
frightened it, and it started off at a
pretty lively pace but was caught by
someone and turned over to the China
man, who climbed in and took the lines.
The horse which was apparently over its
friiiht, suddenly remembered that he
had been scared and lit out up Court,
the excited driver yelling whoal and
woe! until at Chrisman's meat market
the wheels struck the sidewalk followed
a second later by the Chinaman, who
was knocked senseless by the blow. The
horse was again caught, and a couple of
buckets of water poured on the China
man brought his scattered senses back,
and in a few moments he again mounted
his wagon. The cayuee was not through
yet, however, and made another dash,
this time running into one of the guy
poles of the. telephone line, smashing a
wheel out of the wagon and piling the
Chinaman in a limp and lifeless pile at
the edge of the Bidewalk. The cayuse
was bucking and kicking, apparentlv
right on top of him but succeeded in
getting loose from the wreck of the
wagon without stepping on him. The
Chinaman was badly bruised but every
thing considered got off luckily. He
has our thanks for this item, and we are
really glad he didn't get killed.

Ceft-Handed Generosity.'
Mr. Chriaman, who had ninety boxes
of plun.8 in the shipment to Chicago re
cently, has received a bill for $3.75 to
even up his portion of the losses. The
Union claimed a carload would be
shipped but instead only about half that
amount was sent. Mr. Chrisman says
he has no kick coming except that he
only sent ninety boxes and be has been
credited with ninety-five, thus making
his loss larger. He says it is the only
time he ever got credit for more fruit
than he shipped and regrets that his ill
luck should cause this state of affairs to
happen when the balance of trade was
against him. - -
