A DECIDED HIT,
TOOK THE WRONG BOAT. well, set at a safe dlstunce, and then
I touch It off.
Oets A ay With the Coin and Jumped "Well, after 1 had seen the job
on die Same Boat lie Stole It From.
A dingy steamer was pioddlng down
the Mississippi. A boy sat In the
stern vainly trolling for catfish In the
muddy water. It was so hot that all
the other passengers were below,
asleep.
The steamer suddenly whistled, a
town of gray frame houses hove In
sight and a hot young man with a big
telescope valise hurried up the com
panionway. "I'll get off here, captain." he said.
"Your ticket ain't for here," the
captain growled.
"I know, but I've changed my
mind."
A few minutes later he and his tel
escope were landed on the worm-
eaten old wharf of the town of Cic
ero, and the dingy steamer was plod
ding down the river again.
She had gone about a mile when
another young man rushed from be
low, wild-eyed.
"My telescope," he cried. "Some
one has stolen my telescope. There
was 1700 In It."
The captain started. Me looked.
ack at Cicero, which now lay hidden
behind the bend of the river. He
called the mate and told htm to cover
the bow with some black tarpaulin, to
move certain pieces of cargo aft, and
to tie some white canvas around the
smokestack. Then he turned the
steamer around, and she began to
move upstream toward Cicero again.
She looked like a different boat.
At Cicero she stopped. On the de
serted wharf was one person the
young man with the telescope who had
been landed there. He leaped aboard
now. the board warped out into the
stxeam, and then the captain appear
ed. "Hello." said the captain.
"Why. this is the same boat I "
The young man trembled.
"It certainly is," said the captain,
"and this. I reckon, is tne valise we
came back for." f
He opened the telescope, and with
in, in a wallet, lay the stolen money.
The owner rapidly identified his be
longings. The thief was put In Irons
In the engine room.
EARNED $700 A DAY.
Took His Life In Ills Ttands Shooting
Wells.
"During one season, way back In
1891, I made more money than I ever
hope to make again in the same space
of time, In my natural life." observed
Louis Ulery of Findlay, O. "I've made
as much as $700 in one day, and it
was all legitimate, too.
"When the flow of natural gas be
gan to decrease at some of the Indiana
and Ohio 'gushers' some genius de
vised the plan of 'shooting" the wells.
The scheme was exceedingly easy to
carry out and most effective. It never
failed to start the wells off again at
their same old gait. All that was nec
essary was to lower about 40 gallops
of nitroglycerin to the bottom of the
done a few times, I decided I would
try It myself. One of my relatives had
a well that needed attention, and I
prevailed upon him to let me under
take the job. It required considerable
argument, but I finally secured his
consent and my first attempt was most
successful. I was engaged to 'shoot'
other wells In the vicinity and finally
1 embarked in the business regularly.
"The great difficulty was In pro
curing the nitroglycerin. The rail
roads do not dare to carry the stuff,
you know, so It is necessary to houl It
by wagon from the factory. It was
because of one of these trips, made by
a competitor, that I decided to quit
the business.
"Few people have an Idea of the
explosive power of nitroglycerin. The
stuff comes from the factory in cans
and In preparing it to be lowered Into
the well we poured It Into other cans
which were so shaped as to fit the
well. Usually they were about a foot
long and eight Inches In diameter nnd
would hold over a gallon.
"After we had emptied out the fac
tory cans and drained all the liquid
from them that we could I used to
take them out in a big field tuid shoot
at then, with & rifle. A single, can
would have enough of the liquid cling
ing lo its sides to make q report like
a cannon and If it was placed agntnst
a big rock the force of the explosion
would Bhatter the stone Into thousands
of pieces.
"My competitor used to live In Ohio,
also, and he secured a contract to
shoot five wells not far from Green
town, Indiana. He was to get $350
each for them, making a total of 11,
650 for the Job. He started across
the country In a spring wagon, with
the necessary 180 gallons of nitrogly
cerin on board. On the second day
out his team became frightened at a
cow and ran away from htm and the
wagon hit a stump by the roadside.
"They never found any trace of the
man, his team or the wagon. The road
commissioners had a gang of men
working for nearly a week, with
scrapers, filling up the hole caused by
the explosion. When I heard about
that I decided to quit the business,
and have since turned my attention to
other lines. The money Is slower, but
I am sure of getting a chance to spend
it." Milwaukee Sentinel.
William Taulson, an alleged Union
county horse thief, was taken into cus
tody' here this morning by Marshal
Cuffmau, and will be taken back to La
Grande for trial. The arrest was made
this morning ut the Alta House,
through a clue furnished the mar
shal by S. C. Bitner.
Yesterday afternooli a message was
received from the officer at La
Grande usklng the authorities hero to
intercept Taulson should ho come this
wuy. He was accused of having stolen
a buckskin horse from a party in La
Grande. He was described as being
23 years old, and ns having the let
ters "W. T." tattooed on one hand.
On receiving the information Marshal
Coffmun at once notified all livery
men of the city to be on guard for
the tattooed man with ,a buckskin
horse.
This morning he received word from
Mr. Bitner that a gent hud ridden Into
his stable riding a bay horse, and that
later. In a conversation with the sta-ble-keepes,
he had told of having
traded a buckskin horse and a pair
of schapps for his present mount.
Thereupon Mr. Bitner became suspi
cious thut his customer was the one
wanted, and accordingly gave his in
formation to the marshal. Soon after
Marshal Coffmun arrived at the sta
ble, and finding the man to have the
"W. T." tattooed on ono hand, placed
him under arrest. At first the pris
oner denied his guilt, and said thnt his
name was Nelson. Later, however, he
admitted his Identity, but declared he
had bought the horse. However, he
Is being held for the sheriff of Union
county, who Is expo . ted to arrive for
his man tonight.
The Swain Company Did Big Business
at linker City.
An Increased attendance greeted
the Mnrk Swain company at the Ba
ker theater last night, and the enter
tainment given deserved the very
liberal patronage. "The Sidewalk of
New York," a comedy drama depict
ing both the sad and glad sides of
life, with the scenes laid among fa
miliar country folk, was appreciated
to the fullest extent by the large au
dience. This was the first appear
ance of Mack Swain, and his Interpre
tation of the country vug was true to
nature. The balance of the company
was well cast as usual. The special
ties were all new and pleasing. The
singing by Miss Fairfax Is something
the audience has learned to look for
ward to nnd the turn given by Max
and Tate was an enjoyable feature of
the pleasing program. Baker City

nights engagement at the opera

ROUNDS' HORSE RUNS AWAY.
SALOONIST ON WARPATH.
A Weston Siilooniiinii Thought Ho Was
Being Watched and Gets Hostile.
D. P. Hicks of Weston, is in town
today. He came down today to see
District Attorney Phelps. "Last Sun
day," he said, "I and my brother, J.
M. Hicks, were standing In front of
the postofflce talking. We stood there
a few minutes when a saloon keeper
named Stewart came across the street
with onothtr fellow and they began
swearing at us and calling us names.
He said we were standing there to
watch whether his saloon was open or
not. The two of them pushed us off
the walk and told us o get off the
street, and Stewart snld: 'I'm a fight
ing man and I'm In the business. We'll
tar and feather you fellows and hang
you to a telephone pole if you spy on
us." Then he hit me a grazing lick on
the head. I went to the Justice of the
peace there and he told me to come
down and lay the matter before the
district attorney. The district attor
ney tells me I hud better bring the
matter up before the justice of the
peace at Weston, so I will go back to
Weston and take the matter up before
L. 8. Woods there."
Covers Big Ground In Short Time and
With Little Damage,
Some little excitement was caused
at the O. R & N. depot this molrnlng
by a runaway. About 10 o'clock F.
P. Rounds, O. R. & N. foreman, left
his horse and buggy standing near the
track, and In some manner the ant
mal became frightened and started
to run. Dashing across Main street
the buggy struck against one of the
sandwich wagons on the east side of
the street and caused considerable
damage to the same. From there
the horse turned south on the street
and ran across the track. As It did
so the buggy caught on the track In
some manner and became detached
from the horse. The latter then ran
on up Main street hill and came to
a slop at the top.
There was no one In the buggy at
the time and the buggy Itself was
not greatly damaged.
Precipitation Was Not Uniform In
Some Places Very Light.
Reports thnt have been received
here since the heavy storm night be
fore lust indicate that the same was
very limited In extent. North and east
of this place the rain Is said to have
been very light, and not at all of the
nature of the storm that occurred
here. East of Mission, on the reser
vation, It Is said that the dust was
not even settled by the rain, and the
same is true of the country north of
Warren on the line of the W. & C. R,
However, there was evidently even
heavier storm In the south end of
the county than occurred here. Re
ports form Heppner state that both
Willow and Hlnton creeks were filled
to overflowing, and that some alarm
was felt by the Inhabitants of that
place for awhile. However, no dam
age of uny consequence was done.

CLAIMS HE ISN'T DEAD.

J. M. Carter Atsrrts He Is Not Dead,
All HoMrW to the Contrary. Not-
iihstandlng.
J. M. Carter is not dead. He came
In this morning and told us so. He
asked us to announce that he Is still
In the land of the living. He said
some paper had announced that he
had "gone over the divide." "If I
was one of those people that believe
everything I see In tbe papers, I
would be In a pretty fix, wouldn't I?"
said Mr. Carter. "You see It's this
way. Dave Hurley had a tree fall on
him at Bingham station, and he died
ut the hospital here. When the ac
cident first happened It was reported
i that it was me, and so ever since my
friends have been saying what right
have you got circulating around?
You are supposed to be dead. I've
been here for IS years and I expect
to be here for IS more. These ac-
cuunts of me being dead are exagger
ated and my word to the contrary
ought to have some weight If the
newspaper did claim 1 was dead."

Passengers coming down on the
morning train from Weston today tell
of a severe accident that occurred to
Mose Kennear, at that place, yester
day evening. Mr. Kennear was em
ployed In the wheat warehouse at
that place, and during the afternoon
he was running with an empty truck
down an alley between rows of sacks,
when the Iron of the truck caught
on a sack and Mr. Kennear was
thrown violently against one of the
handles of the truck. He was struck

New Grain Steamer.
Information is now given out that
the new steamer Columbia will soon
be carrying wheat from up river
points to the portage road. The sink'
Ing of the steamer Jerome a few days
ago has not deterred them, and just
us soon as their bout Is ready they
will put her In commission. The boat
has a gross tonnage of 150 tons, is 77
feet long, 30.4 feet beam and 86 feet
depth of hold. She Is comparatively
a new steamer, having been built In
1902. This will materially help the
wheat situation In that locality, and
will give the portage railroad some
work to do, and if the raising of the
steamer Jerome Is successful, the two
steamers will move lnrge quantities
of wheat this fall. The Dalles Chronicle.
