A lively runaway occurred in this city
this forenoon. A team belonging to an
Indian was standing near the Regulator
wharf when it took fright and had a
lively chase np Second street. The
horses were unhitched from the wagon
having nothing but the double trees
fastened to them at the time. They
were very evenly matched in point of
speed and kept together until they
reached three-mile when they tired out
and were caught and brought back. No
one was injured by the runaway al
though numerous people were on the
streets at the time while the damage to
the horses or harness was trivial.
This morning Deputy Sheriff F. C.
Sexton arrested James Denton, aged
eleven, and Claud and Guy Boot, aged
respectively eleven and eight years.
They are charged with having stolen
money from the residence of a chinaman

grounde. Their bearing before Judge
Mays began at 2 .o'clock this afternoon

lads is strong they will in all probability

According to the expectation of all
concerned the Steamer Eegulator
was successfully launched yesterday
afternoon and put into the mouth of the
locks. In launching the boat, however,
a piece of one of the ways was forced
through the bottom of the craft and
alter launching the water poured into
the hull rapidly and soon the vessel
was laying on her side in a rather bad
condition. The managers of the D. P.
and A. line have sent for 150 more bar-,
rels and after placing them in her hold
hope to be able to successfully float the
craft to Portland. The most difficult
part of the whole matter will be taking
the boat through the swift water below
the locks ; this will not be attempted,
however, until it is put in shape so that
there will be little danger of any further
accidents.
J. Frahk Watson has sued ex-Sheriff

burg, for $10,000 damages. It seems
Watson secured on June 8, a decree and
judgment against the Noonday Mining
Company, of Bohemia, for $5202.08, ac
crued interest, attorney's fees and costs.
An execution was issued and the date of
the Eale of the property, machinery,
etc.. was set for Saturday, August 13.
Before the appointed time arrived, how
ever, the Noouday company filed a stay
bond with the sheriff, and took an ap
peal to the supreme court, the sheriff
relying upon the Etay bond and refusing
to eell the property as advertised. The
sheriff's disregard of a stay bond made
him liable to a suit for damages brought
by either party, as a mine is regarded as
personal property, and la not subject to
redemption like real estate.
Shortly after Sheriff Kelly stepped in
to office he publiehed a. notice in the
papers, to taxpayers.nrging them to pay
their delinquent taxes. The Oregonian
of August 7th said of his notice that it
was the most extreme case of official
politeness in the history of Oregon
politics. Along with making game of
it, it Beems anxious to know whether
property owners wonld settle any more
quickly than if they had been put to
the trouble of paying costs of seizure and
sale. At the time the notice was in'
serted there was $60,000 deliequent
The amount he handed to the county
treasurer touay, ?4uuu,bi will increase
the amount collected since he took
charge of the tax rolls to $16175,92 or
one-fourth of the delinquent taxes of
the county. Considering that the farmers
ano wool men have not yet marketed
their produce this is certainly a eplendid
showing and shonld satisfy any inquiries
concerning the effectiveness of Sheriff
Kelly's "polite notice."
