The team belonging to the fishermen
on the sandbar below town, which is
used for hauling out the seine, took a
notion to run away, one day last week.
They ran into the river, where the
horses became separated, and one fetched
up in the branches of a willow tree,
while the other went down the river,
floating and swimming by turns, till it
was fished out, all right, at Viento, 7
miles below. Glacier.
Henry Heikes, who is getting up the

forms ua the matter is now an assured

cowboys on horseback and Indians on
foot, riding bucking horses, holding up
the stage, Indian dances and games ; and
in fact a genuine Wild West Show.
The Glacier says, that Cultus Dave,
the old Indian landmark, has lost the
key to the padlock that locks his house.
The amusing part of the story is that
suggested by the fact that Cultus
thought it necessary to lock the house.
He should have looked at it philosophic
ally like the Irishman when his wife
awoke him in the middle of the night
with frightened whisper, "there's burg-
lars in the house." "Lie still," said he.
"and if the fellow finds anything, I'll
get up and take it off him."
It is feared around Colfax that there
will be a scarcity of harvest hands, and
farmers are anxiously inquiring for men
to assist in taking care of the immense
crop. There has been a steady exodus
of idle men to the Walla Walla country,
and as a result there are less men around
Colfax looking for work than was ever
known at this season of the year.
Wages have been advanced to the old
scale in vogue before the hard times, but
It is feared at the advanced wages there
will not be enough men to care for the
crop.

on account of the order recently made to
keep the public out of the vault, and
from having indiscriminate access to the
records. The order is a good and neces
sary one. Any citizen who wants to see
the records is, of course, entitled to do
so. Nobody denies that, but it is to
prevent everybody going into the vault,
where there are, besides the records,
thousands of valuable papers. The only
change made is that those who want to
see the records wil have them brought
out to them.
Maggie Maddock met with a frightful
accident last Monday evening, and the
greatest wonder is that she is alive today
to tell the tale. A few feet from the
otel kitchen door is a 25-foot well, with
bout 8 feet of water. The trap-door or
vering was not securely fastened and
hen Maggie stepped on it, quick as a
ash she was precipated to the bottom
pf the well. As she went down she gave
a scream, which soon brought the horror-stricken
family to the scene, also Ed.
Melson, who promptly went down after
her. He was not a second too soon, as
the fall had stunned her and she was al
most drowned when he reached her.
Being almost a grown woman, it re
quired more strength than Ed. possessed
to get her out, and Mr. Hyde also went
down in the well, and by the aid of
ropes and those above, the half-dead
girl was rescued. Outside of several
pretty bad bruises, Maggie was not in
jured to any great extent, except, of
course, being scared out of a year's
growth pr so.. But it was a thrilling (al
so chilling) adventnre, and one that she
has no desire to repeat. Condon Globe

Last Monday as Mr. F. S. Fleming,
wife and two children, in company with
Mrs Fleming's mother, were attempting
to drive a hack team by a short route in
to the road from Tygh to Wamic, they
met with a sad accident. The grade be
ing so steep the doubletree gave way, the
hack running back down the bill. Mr,
Fleming duns: to the lines and was
dragged from the hack while the rest of
the family were carried back some fifty
steps when the hack was overturned in
such a manner that none of the family
could get out. Mrs. Newton, the mother
of Mrs. Fleming, had her left arm
broken in two places and one rib was al
so broken. All were seriously bruised
Dr. Powne of Tysb, was called and did
all in his power to relieve the sufferers
We are told that Dr. Powne had this

Boxing Contest.
"Tbe.Britons proudly boast that the
sun never sets on the Queen's Domin
ions, as if they were special subjects of
solar favoritism," writes William George
Jordan on 'The Greatest Nation on
Earth,' in the July Ladies' Home Jour
nal. "But it is equally true that there
is always sunshine on some part of Un
cle Sam's great possessions. When it is
6 p. m. on Atoto's Island, Alaska, it is
9 :36 a. m. of the day following at East-
port, Maine. If we locate the center of
the United States, calculating it as mid
day between longitude 67 of Eastport
and longitude 191 of Atoto's Island, it
will be found on the 126th degree of lon
gitude, about 280 miles west of San Fran
cisco, in the Pacific Ocean."
A Good Appointment.
Mr. C. J. Hayes, who was recently ap
pointed special agent and examiner of
surveys, was in the city last night, leav
ing this morning for Condon, where he
does hia firBt work. Mr. Hayes is an
old soldier, a good surveyor, and has
many friends especially among the G.
A. R. who are highly pleased over his
pointment. He has lived at Hood River
for several years, coming to Oregon from
Minnesota about seven years ago, and
being engaged in surveying and fruit
growing since that time. He has four
men with him, Charles Webb, Robert
Statt, W. S. Bowman and E. Udell.

The boxing contest came off on a barge
in the river last night about 11 o'clock
It was the original intention to take the
barge across the river, but as it was dis
covered no one intended to interfere
with them, the plan was changed and
the contest came off on this side.
The first event was a ten-round match
for points between Dan Godfrey and Joe
McAuliff for points. Those who saw it
say Godfrey is very scientific, and
showed some fine boxing.
This was followed by a three-round
contest for points between Joe Daffron
and Dick Rogers ; and this bv another
three-round contest, also for points, be
tween two others. The boxing was very
good, and no slugging was indulged in,
it being a purely scientific display of the
"manly art."
