The trial of the case of the United States against Taffe to condemn the right of way ior the boat railway, ter minated Saturday night, the jury find ing a verdict - for Taffe in the sum of $17,500. This is an increase of about $3,000 from the former verdict, and it is probable all parties will call it settled and let it rest at that. In Saturday s issue we published a little clipping from the Arizona Kicker; but the credit was inadvertently over looked. The result was that it appeared we bad furnished a man for a hanging match in ' a neighboring town. We cheerfully correct the intimation, and as cheerfully add . that such citizens as we have of the kind referred to in that ar . ticle never venture away from the sacred precincts of this, their home. A curious lawsuit, terminated . tbe other day in the court of common pleas at Cleveland,' O. Two years ago Humphrey Johnson shot and killed his wife. Nellie, at their home in Collin- wood. Then he committed suicide. Both had children by former marriages. The administrator for tbe wife's children sued tbe administrator for tbe husband's children for $10 ,000 damages .for the killing of Mrs. Johnson, and tne jury brought in a verdict for $3,000. " To Form a Labor Exchange. LIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYS. Everybody Had a Lovely Time. and Hilarious By unanimous opinion the Wyom ing snpreme court Friday held that the equal-suffrage amendment was adopted at the recent election. The consittution provides that an amendment shall be come part of tbe constitution if a major ity of the electors shall vote for it. At the election tbe amendment received 12,126 votes, while 6228 were cast against t. There were, however, 29,516 votes cast for electors, and it was held by the state canvassing board that a majority of that number was necessary to carry the amendment. . The question was taken into the supreme court on a peti tion for a writ of review, and was argued by some of the leading attorneys in the state. In deciding the case . the court says it is impossible to harmonize the conflicting authorities on . the subject, but that the language of the section ot the constitution was considered in con nection with the language of the other sections of the same article, and clearly shows it was intended that a majority voting on an amendment should be sufficient. The decision carries two other amend ments with it. One of these does away with the office of district attorney, sub stituting county attorneys. The other segregates the offices of probate judge and county school superintendent. Damaged tne Trees. Reports from Hood River and Hosier indicate tbat considerable damage was done to fruit trees by the recent cold snap. It came so early tbat this year's growth of wood had not yet hardened, and the result was disastrous. An ex amination ot the young orchards shows that the bark bad burst and. turned black. The extent of the damage can not be told until later, but we hope it is not so great as tbe orchardists eeem to fear. - The Regulator Tuesday. . An effort is being made to start a Labor Exchange here by Mr. Barzee and others. The name is somewhat mis leading, the idea being to arrange for the exchange of tbe products of labor, and especially those of the farmer. Several such organizations are in existence in the state, notably one in Salem, and all seem to be giving satisfactory results. Under the system adapted for their management, any member can deposit anything he has to sell, and will receive far it a certificate, showing its value, the certificate is transferable by indorse ment, and will be redeemed at any time by its equivalent in any kind of produce A dispatch received , from Agent Alto way this mornieg announces that the Regulator will come ud tomorrow even ing and leave or Portland Wednesday morning. The Dalles City left tbe Cas cades' yesterday at noon, being towed by the Regulator. It seems that' she had strained the' fines in her boiler so she could not get up steam, and tbe Regulator had to take her in charge. . Kefrlgrerator Lint.

J-ytle, Agent It is not often permitted to a newsr: paper in Ihese degenerate days, to chronicle the wild and wooly happen ings at a modern eocial dance, such as used to happen in the good old days of the coast, when gold dust was the money of the country, and six-shooters its statutes. Yet only a few days ago a dance occurred, not in Wasco county, of course, but not a thousand miles from it, that would .have satisfied the cravings for the sensational, that ' possessed the old timers. A set bad been formed, or was forming, for a quadrille and as the dancers were waiting for the music to start up, one 1 young lady for some cause unknown, but presumably moved by that great feminine motor, ' jealousy, walked up to another girl in the set, and without calling time, shaking bands or haggling over a referee, drew back her muscular right arm and dealt that other a blow in the mouth that would have brought a' storm of applause from tbe short-haired patrons of San Francisco's social func tions. The girl's head went back with a snap that nearly dislocated her neck, but she was not knocked down. In a moment she gathered herself, the blood of her English ancestors boiling in her veins, and with tbe spring of a panther she landed on her enemv. In a moment tbe other girls in the set ' had taken a hand, fur flew and claret flowed, ribbons, buttons, laces and those innumerable things that go to make the female get-up a thing of beauty, were scattered on tbe floor like shells on: the sand at a public clam-bake. There was no chance to in terfere with the combatants, for they were mixed and intermingled "nntil one could not be told from the other. The men gathered around and let them fight it oat, lending encouragement occasion' ally by shouting, "Pull her hair I "Pound her in the short rib!" and other re. marks of a similar nature.. At the end of five minutes three of the girls were down and counted out, while t"he fourth with one waving band : full of light mauve hair, and the other flourishing a gored skirt or two, was hailed as the victor. When the fight ended, a young fellow, who had been gazing in wonder at the Amazonian battle, felt his nerves were utterly unstrung, and getting in the corner he pulled a bottle of whisky from his pocket and' proceeded to take bracer. This was too much for the floor manager, who could hardly . believe he saw correctly. Walking over to the violator of social etiquette, he sternly asked him ifjhe had "ever been in the society of ladies before?" and, "If he did not know that hauling a bottle at social function, was an insult to all the female functionaries?" If he didn't, it was time to leave, so .laying indignant hands on the young fellow, he threw him ignominiously out 6f the door. By this time, tbe voung fellow's blood was hot, and as he lit he pulled a pietol and fired three shots in quick succession at the man who endeavored to protect tbe ladies from the insult of his presence. The bullets went high, doing no damage except to make three neat perforations in the wall at tbe opposite side of tbe bouse, but at the first fire a married lady standing by the door,' threw . up her hands with a gasp and fell in a dead faint to theoor. Everybody thought she was shot, and her husband, in his. frenzy, commenced striking right and left at everything in eight, getting e'ven on the slayers of his ' wife.- The lady soon came to, and quiet was ' restored, but the dance was broken up. The fel low who did the shooting skipped for another state, the fainting woman was taken home, the four Amazons departed, t-aking witn them their tender escorts, and the lightB went out. We have the particulars from one who says he knows, and be vouches for their truth, only that they are not told with that detail that would made them much more of an exemplification ot the dances of earlier days, and would convince the old-timers that the chival rous regard of gentleman ior ladies, so boasted of in earlier days, and the gentle lovliness or lovely gentleness of the fair sex has not deteriorated. We will not give tbe location of the dance away, but we wish to inform the public that there is a whole lotof wheat money this side of the mountains tbat says Corbett, Fitzslmmons nor Sharkey can stay in the .ring with the black haired Semiramis, who won tbe fight above described, for four rounds.
