o'clock, or anything sufficient to cause
him to'make an investigation. Haw

day morning for his ranch on seven-mile
hill "between The Dalles and Mosier,
since which time nothing has been heard
from him. He was at the house all
night and left the next morning with
the threat that he would finish the job
he unsuccessfully undertook Thursday,
but no one, so far as known, has exhibi
ted enough curiousity to follow him.

THE "DIRTY DOZEN" CLUB.
Another Secret and KicluMve Organlza
- Hon lu Our Midst.
Of all the unique and exclusive clubs
in the city, that known among a certain
class of boys in The Dalles ns the "Dirty
Dozen" club stands unrivalled in its
class. They have an organization, with
all the advantages of autonomy, a club
bouse and set of rules, to promote their
pleasure, apart from the f crutiuy of the
world, and uninterrupted by parental
solicitude or the vigilance of . the city
and county officers. In. fact some of its
members are' sons of some of these offi
cials. Their quarters were unearthed
yesterday in an unexpected way.
While hunting for a roll of blankets,
which was taken from a camper under
the D. P. & A. N. Co.'s wharf, an offi
cer entered a shabbily constructed shack
on the bank of the elough below the
China garden, and there were the
blankets, spread out on the floor, and a
couple of boys lying on. them smoking
cigarettes. Others were about, talking,
smoking and reading. They regarded
his entrance as an intrusion, and for a
moment it looked as if lib was going to
be thrown into the slough, but the boys
luckily did not use extreme measures,
and the officer , was even permitted to
leave with the blankets. .
The club contains no bowling alley or
gymnastic apparatus as yet, but the
library is well stocked with such tales of
adventure as "Ten Buckets of Blood, or
a Boy's Revenge," "Dick Dead Eye,
the Blind .Scout," "Nosebag Gallagher,
the Terror of the Black Hills," "The
Maiden's -Escape, or the Keyhole
in the Door" etc. Here the bovs
have chewed and smoked and told vulgar
yarns, -and read hair breaath escapes,
played cards and "gambled to . their un
bounded delight for no one knows how
long, but if their rendezvous is not
broken up soon by the officers, the high
water will do the work. Another foot or
two and it will enter their den, and as
ooys hate nothing bo bad as water, they
will be compelled to abandon it.
Whether they will remove and carry on
their club. at another p.lace,, or. tempo
rarily disband is not knnwn. The boys'
clnb ia a firpt-clasa place to breed in
cipient vice and it should be attended to.

HE SAVED THE BOY. .
John , Todd, or 'Tills Cltv, Rescues a
Drowning Lad.
Mr. John Todd, of this city, did a very
heroic and courageous action a few days
ago, saving a life at the old Graves ferry
at the risk of his own. A youth whose
name is-unfortunately not known at this
time, started to cross the John Day river
at the ferry operated by Mr. Clarno, in a
row boat. A cable is stretched across
the river and the young man attempted
tc cross above the .cable. The boat
drifted, down to it and was cap
sized by it, throwing -its occupant out
who grasped the cable. The current
kept continually pressing him under,
and he only tried to keep his hold. Todd
was looking out the window of Clamo's
at the time, dressed in a heavy overcoat
and gum boots. He was bo affected at
the eight he immediately ran to the res
cue. He did not think to take 'off the
overcoat or boots but boldly plunged into
the water. Reaching him in a short time
they were both plunged repeatedly be
neath the surface, but assisting him as
best be could to keep up, Todd towed bis
charge to shore. His strength then de
serted him, and he fell fainting on the
bank. When he revived his. brain was
temporarily affected, and when found he
was crawling around over the sand on all
fours. He has probably by this time
fully recovered.
This is one of the few instances ontside
of fiction of a heroic deed, calling for su
preme strength, fortitude and nerve
worthy of a giant.
