The Salem Sentinel is after the state

on "48.28 acres of flat, unimproved farm
land in the vicinity of the state fair
grounds, northeast of Salem." The

The accident at Salem resulting in the
death of an engineer and fireman has
been traced to a 10-year-old boy, the aon
of a Salem lawyer. The real blame
though lies with the person who left the
switch unlocked. The boy didn't know
any better. The men who failed to lock
the switch did.
Detective Joe Reiley has interviewed
the Times-Mountaineer man and told
him that he didn't threaten the negro,
Kidd, and used no gun had none, in
fact, with him at the time, as he had
given his pistol to the day clerk at the
Umatilla House at 8 o'clock that morn
ing and didn't call for it again until that
night.
The Astoria postmaster last Monday
found letter in bis office addressed to
"Sauta Glaus, Greenland." The post
master opened the letter and found that
it was from the little aon of a prominent
citizen of the town who asked the good
saint to send bim an air gun. The let
ter was tent to the boy's lather, who
will doubtless aee that the wish of the
boy is gratified.
The health officer reported this morn
ing that there are now four houses

antine waa raised yesterday from the

Fegan. Unfortunately there are two
new oases in a family named Mover, who
live up near the old fair ground. But
for this only three houses would now Jw
unaer quarantine.
If you don't think the people read
The Chronicle ask John Fleming, with
Maier & Benton. He put an ad. in yes
terday's paper, announcing that be had
a lot of flue Leghorn chickens that he
wanted to dispose of cheap. In less
than two hours after the ad. was in
type the chickens were told at Mr.
Homing's own price, and he could have
sold them many times since.

Al Bettingen, Charley Frank, Andy
Keller and Ricky Haesalo were seen to
day wending their way from the railroad
depot to their respective homes each
oenaing under the weight of a big
gunny sack full of jack rabbits. They
had been up in the neighborhood of
Castle Rock since Sunday and are re
ported to have slaughtered between 76
and 100 head. Just what they did with
all the rabbits is not known by this de
ponent. He only knows that his visions
of hare soup have vanished into thin

Seth Morgan requests The Chronicle
to announce that there will be a meet
ing at the Star lodging house at 2
o'clock next Saturday afternoon, for the
purpose of organizing a socialist club.
The Chronicle gladly publishes the an
nouncement. This latest outgrowth of
the Bixteen-to-one-or-bust lunacy is to
be encouraged as it affords a channel for
the harmless discharge of anti-republi
can effervescence. The more socialists
the fewer democrats, and the fewer dem
ocrats the better for the country all
round,
The troubles of Paul Mohr'e transpor
tation line from Spokane to Portland
have assumed a new phase. Contrac
tors Winters and Chapman have been
awarded a judgment for $30,000 against
tbe Central Navigation & Construction
Company, which built the road around
the falls at The Dalles. Tbe intervening
suits of A. A. Hutchinson for $300,000,
and Joseph Auerbach for $57,000. as
holders of bonds issued by Mohr'e com
pany, have been dismissed. It is prob
able, however, that the sale of the road
to satisfy Winters and Chapman's
judgment will be postponed for the
pending appeal.
The argument in the case of Brown
and Maddox vs. the Oregon King Min
ing Company was completed yesterday
afternoon, says today's Oregonian.
Judge Bellinger charged the jury, and
they retired about 4 p. m. to deliberate
upon their verdict. A little before 7 p.
m. they came into court and returned a
verdict in favor of the plaintiffs. It will
be remembered tliat the case waa tried
at the spring term of the United States
court, and a verdict was rendered in
favor of plain tins, but this was set aside
by Judge Bellinger, on error in law.
The mine ia situated at Ash wood, seven
teen miles south of Antelope, in Crook
county. . The value of the mine cannot
be definitely known, but it is stated that
an offer of $300,000 lies been made for it
and the prospective value is very much
greater. A large amount of rich rock
has been taken out by the company,
which it is understood will still belong
to them.
The remains of the late Mrs. M. J.
Atwell, of Cascade Locks, were brought
to town on the noon train today, and
were laid to rest in the Odd Fellows
cemetery this afternoon, the funeral
being held at the undertaking rooms of
Crandall &-Bnrgett. The services were
conducted by Rev. Mx. Walker, pastor
of the M. E.church at the locks of which
Mrs. Atwell had been a member for the
past six years. The deeeased was a
native of the state of Pennsylvania,
where she waa born November 7, 1820.
Her maiden name was Harvey and she
was married in 1840 to C. E. Williams.a
resident of Illinois. From that state
he and her husband started to cross the
plains in 1862 but Iter husbond died on
the way. Arriving that year at the
looks she was married in 1858 to Mr.
Atwell and the following year the couple
took up what is known as the Atwell
Donation Land claim. On this claim
Mrs. Atwell lived until the final sum
monasame. Mrs. Atwell was a most
worthy christian woman, greatly be
loved and respected by all who knew
her.

The Catholic fair opened last night at
the Vogt opera house with a smaller at
tendance than the elaborate prepara
tions of tbe lady managers deserted.
First night, however, was net expected
to draw a great crowd. That will un
doubtedly come later on. The hall waa
handsomely decorated and the numer
ous booths, which were filled with sueh
articles of nee and ornament as were
fitted to open the puree of tbe most
miserly, were canopied with Japanese
umbrellas and brilliantly lighted with
Chinese lanterns. A small army of ir
resistible young ladies and most per
suasive matrons did the soliciting act to
perfection and few there were of the
tether eex who didn't leave the hall with
their pockets stuffed with as many toys
Mad Yankee notions as old Santa Clans
himself will have on his Christmas
round.

particulary interested in noting ths
