At the Umatilla House parlors this

united Mr. L. Barzee and Mies Stella
Howell in Hymen's holy bonds. Mr.

she coming down from Sherman county

Dan Moore, who is charged with being
a party to the theft of $80 from Taylor
Hill a few days ago and who had been
in the country for several days, came
into the city Saturday, and learning of
the charge against him, went up to the
sheriffs office to Bee about it. He was
arrested by Nightwatchman Wiley and
is held for examination. There does not
seem to be any evidence against him,
other than the statement of the man
Shurts, who is held to appear before the
grand jury.
Shortly after noon a big, black cloud
came up from the southwest, and ex
tended itself over the grain fields of
Wasco and Sherman counties. For a
while it looked as though The Dalles

drops began to fall and in a few mo

Doctor Cams of Hood Riyer owns a
dog. Mr. Bartmess also of Hood River
owns a cat. The gentlemen named live
on opposite sides of Oak street, and the
cat and dog consequently occupy quar
ters and are at home seven days in the
week, just across the street from each
other. The dog boasts of no high-born
ancestry, is diminutive, old gold in color,
and in fact is, in every day language,
1 just "a yaller dog." The cat is, on the
other hand, an aristocrat, being of that
blue-gray color, indicating the genuine
Maltese, though it may be only a Mai
tese cross. He is of magnificent propor
tions as to frame, long of limb, flexible
of joint, velvet footed in peace, but a
telegraph message with hair on it, the
cylinder of a threshing machine done in
gray, a cyclone with a swelled tail, or
any little thing of that kind when en
gaged in active pursuits.
Between the Cams' dog and the Bart
mess' cat, besides the street, is a long
standing feud. When either of them
feels lonesome, or pines lor the good, old
days in the mining camps, that we now
can only read about, he makes an incur
Bion into the other's territory.
Saturday Cams' dog felt blue. He
had chased an old hen, helping himself
occasionally to a mouthful of feathers
until he was as full as a tick, and having
nothing else to relieve the monotony of
the tedious afternoon, he cast his gaze
over into the enemy's territory. The
gate was open and the Maltese evidently
off duty. Here was an opportunity not
to be neglected. He walked over, and
after reconnoitering for a few moments,
he sauntered in. He was on dangerous
ground now, and proceeded cautiously
and slowly, but gained boldness at every
step, as his hated enemy did not appear.
The Maltese was curled up taking hie
afternoon nap, never dreaming that an
insignificant yaller dog would dare to
try to play him for a Boer. "The best
laid schemes of.mieeand men," aud also
of venturesome dogs, result in their un
doing.

off, but he found, as the couutry editor's
epitaph said, "We are here to stay." As
he could not move, he raieed his voice in
lusty lamentations, longing vainly to
hear his beloved master's voice. This
was where be showed poor generalship.
Had he remained still, some one would
have eventually released him, but his 10

of the Maltese, which rose with a start

portals of his domain. He discov
ered the dog and realized that his pri
vate grounds had been invaded while he
slept. His eyes flashed, the blood of ten
thousand or more illustrious ancestors
surged through his veins, his tail as
sumed the dimensions of a brush on a
dynamo, and the lady whose attention
had been drawn by the dog's expres
sions of regret, saw a blue rainbow and
heard a thud as the Maltese sailed
through the air and impinged on the
hurricane deck of the pilloried canine.
Then there was music in the air, n
sound of revelry, all furnished by the
dog, the Maltese clawing the keys and
running the scales up and down the
purpa back in a way that would have
made Paderewski green with envy.
Never a cat had such an opportunity be
fore. Never a dog had so much of his
earthly troubles behind liitn. The dog's
calls for assistance became momentarily
more vigoious, until the air pulsated
with "the music of hiB fears," and the
sound was as though a city dog pound
had set up a joint and several death
chant. Finally with a mighty backward
surge, that head, that didn't know
enough to get itself out of trouble, was
yanked from between the pickets with
such force that most of the dog'a hair
and all of his bark waB left there, and
with a gladsome whimper he leaped the
fence and fled for home. He was fast
when in the gate, but a great deal faster
as he Btruck the ground on the thither
side of the fence and realized that there
was no place like home.
The cat watched him gain his own ter
ritory, and then went back to the wood
shed and spent the remainder of the
afternoon in picking the dog meat aud
hair from between Ills teeth.
What the dog did was to crawl under
the house, but his thoughts were prob
ably like those of "FeBtUHi"
"I tilume no heart, 110 love, 110 fat'',
Ami I liHVtt Nothing to forKlve,
I wIhIi for nuuKht, reiKiiit for naught,
Dislike naught but to live.
