A North Yakima dispatch say
Jamos Cunningham, a prominent
wealthy sheep owner of Kllckitatcounty,
was urrested there on a charge ot insan
ity. Ho was taken to the court houeo
and physicians summoned to pass on his
sanity. Tho consultation resulted in a
postponement for two days in order
that lie might be eared for, in hope, of
regaining his mind. Tlie paaiers by
and clerks at Coffin Bros, store entered
complaint, they having noticed him
sitting beside a pllo of sacks and claim
ing that ho was appointed to wa'.ch
them. When taken to tho coitt liouso
he entered into a deep sleep, from which
ho arose feeling hotter and apparently
more rational.
During William Jennings Bryan's ad
dress nt lVmlloton Thursday last, a good
joko was passed, says tho Walia Walla
Union. Mr. Bryan delivered his address
in a largo warehouse used for storing
wool. While tho gentleman was ad
dressing the audience a party in tho
honso remarked that Mr. Bryan, "when
ho visited Pendleton in 1890 could not
have spoken in the warehouee." Tlie
gentleman was called down by a by
stander, who demanded to know, why
Bryan could not be granted tlie privi
lege of speaking in tho warehouso or any
other building in which ho choso to do
bo. 'Well," said the first party,
"when Mr. Bryan was here in '90 the
warehouse was full of 5-cent wool ; since
then it has all been sold out for twenty-
cents a pound."
Wo acknowledge the courtesy of a
friendly call of Dr. W. L. Adams of Hood
River. The doctor is a veteran ntws-paper-man,
having as early as the fifties
edited the Argus, a paper that had much
to do with the organizttion of tho Re
publican party in Oregon. He was a
Republican too, when it cost something
to be n Republican. He claims the honor
of having issued the call for the first two
Republican conventions ever held in
Oregon. In these piping days of penes
when an Oregon Republican editor is
safe from all dangerous outside attacks
except from the poisoned arrows of the
big Portland daily, it is amusing to hear
the doctor talk of the long years when
he never wrote aline for his paper with
out having a pistol in each pocket and a
bowie knife at convenient distance.
James Current, a Goldendale boy, j
who is well known to tho editor of The
Ciikonici.e, writes to the Agriculturist
from the Philippines, where ho is a mem
ber of Co. E. 35th U. S. Infantrv. the
following racy remarks concerning the
bad results that have flowed from the
Bryanite anti-expansion agitation in
this country. Mr. Current Bays: "I
think, and I almost know that this war
would have ended a long lime ago if it
had not been for the Democratic party
in the United States. Let me tell you
what a native told me tho other day.
He said, in Spanish : 'By and by Dem
ocratic president; then American sol
diers will go.' What do yon think of
that? How in the devil do tlio Ameri
can people ever hope to succeed when
the party that Bryan is leading will
make such cracks? Let that bo as it
may, we are going to conquer these peo
ple, not by the sword, but by good leg
islation such as the Republican party
only is able to give, and it will probably
be only one year, maybe two, hut it has
got to come."
The McMinuville Register claims that
George R. A. Ferns, who shot John
Vardlo on tho Braithwait farm, north
McMinnville, about sixteen years ago,
tho same fellow wiio killed another
n about two weeks ago in Klickitat
uty and who is now in tlie jail at
ldeudalo awaiting trial for murder.
Wardle, of McMinuville, saw the ac
count of the last crime in theOregonian,
'and ho was led to writo the sheriff who
lias the prisoner in charge to ascertain
if lie was the same criminal who shot
his father, He is satisfied from tlie de
scription that it is the same man. Fer
ris Bhot Wardle because tlie latter re
fused to sign a deed to some land, now
owned by E. M. Greeley, until Ferris
would pay back $20 Wardle had loaned
him. Ferris drow his gun and enid ho
would put Wardle where he wouldn't
need li is signature, and shot him in tlie
center of tlio breat, the bullet passing
clear through Wardlo's body. Wardlo
was sick witli tho wound for over a
year. Ho is now 86 years old, and at
times can feel pain duo to tho wound of
sixteen years ago. The sheriff writes
that Ferris is likely to pay tho penalty
for tho latest crime, Ho claim self
defense, but it is known that ho rode
thirty miles to kill an unarmed man.
For liis first crimo Ferris was placed in
jiil at Lu Fayette, but effected his es
cape before ho was tried. His lias since
served seven years in tlio Washington
penitentiary for horse-stealing.
