Henry Kubli and his three fel
low prisoners who were examined
as to their sanity last week and
ordered committed" to the insane
asylum were not transferrsd to that
institution, the proceedings in the
matter of the examinations having
beenjirregular. These examinations
were, held before a justice of the
peace in the absence of the county
judge, and without the knowledge
of the sheriff, consequently when
the commitment papers were pre
sented to . Secretary of State" F. L.
Dunbar that official refused to rec
ognize them on the ground that the
papers did not show that the jus
tice was snmmuned . to act in the
place of the absent - judge by order
of the sheriff. The result is-that
another examination will be neces
sary before these prisoners can be
properly committed to the asylum.

The scena at the C. & E. de

"Cancerous" and the Bees.
Somewhere along the dividing
line between the counties of Ben
ton and Lane is a spot that will
always remain verdure-elad .in
the memories of the rnea ' com
posing the threshing crew of a
certain machine that was oper
ated ia the fall f igor. Prom
inent in the crew Was aa indi
vidual who was a charmer of
cancerous snakes, warty toads
and untold numbers of other un
canny aad creepy subjects. "He
boasted of bis "charming" abili
ties, ef what he had done and
could do, until the crew mani
fested considerable . interest in
his powers for charming and da
sired an exhibition.
One day it came to pas3 that
an honest farmer on whose wheat
plantation the threshing crew
were operating .concluded to rob
his bees of some honey. The
boys desired that "Cancerous,"
as the snake charmer" had been
nick-named, be allowed to try
his power on the bees. ; The
farmer was willies?. Cancerous,
armed with a hammer, a knife
and a cold chisel, followed by aa
admirer Vh 6 Lad faith ia him,
sallied toward the fortress of the
honey-makers. The majority of
the " crew stood at a respectful
distanea from the base of opera
tions.
On arriving fit the stand,
"Cancerous" deliberately gather
ed a "handful of bees and cast
them from him. "Several Land
fills of bees were treated with
the " same off-hand contempt.
Tilings began to warm up aud
the body-guard beat a hasty re
treat. " With the utmost con
tempt, tke charmer set his chisel
and sti tick it . with the hammer.
Immediately more bees appeared,
then still more bees. 'Cancer
ous" watered in his onslaught.
He would now and then reaoh a
hand toward his face and go
through the motions, of placking
a bea off,the perch." , The bees
surrounded their charmer in such
numbers that ; to spectators
' Cancerous" , Was . the faintest
outline of a man. Suddenly,
without any suggestions along
that line, 'Cancerous' ' and the
bees began to move in every di
rection. In this charming man
ner the bees were finally thrown
off tha scent and "Cancerous"
was free. He had wandered far
from camp and when found by a
search party was blind from the
operation of the bee9 he had
hypnotized so 'well. . This is
perhaps thd only time that his
hokus-pokns failed, him.
A Woman With Grit.
While in from Alsea last Tues
day, Lon Hash related an iaci
dent of womanly pluck and self
reliance worthy of pioneer days.
Mr. Hash and his x sons were
working on a hill above his
hotlse in Lower Alsea when the
familiar report of a rifle reached
them and the father exclaimed,
"That's my gun!" and they all
paused to listen. Three more
shots followed in rapid succes
sion, aud shortly after a hailing
blast from the dinner horn. They
hastened to the house, where
Mrs. . Hash pointed to the body
of a large buck, which she had
the skill to bring down with her
rifle, but lacked the heart to cut
its throat.
The dogs had driven the ani
mal near the house, and Mrs.
Hash seized the Winshester and
tumbled bis deership over at the
fourth shot.
The antlers of this buck will
hang beside another trophy tak
en some years ago, the skin ot a
huge California lion. " ,
One day, while th6 children
were playing near the house,
wholly unconscious of. the danger
larking near, the trusty watch
dog suddenly smiled the air and
dashed into the thieket. The
mother's ejes followed his move
ments, and the sight whieh met
her gaze would have frozen the
blood of a less courageous woman.
The dog had started a larg-e lion
within a lew feet of where the
children were playing. The ani
mal sprang upon the trunk of a
nearby tree, and climbed to the
branches-. , Mrs. .Hash quickly
secured a rifle from the house,
aud sent a ball thfoagh th& lion's
body, brlngiag it to the ground.
It bounded away parsueL. by the
dog, and climbed a tree some
distance from the house; Here
it remained until Mr. Hash re-
turfted home and dispatched it.

Caa't Marry in Oregon.
G3v. T. T. Geer yesterday re-
! ceived a most peculiar request,
evidently written by a love-sick
swain, says the Statesman. Trie
letter is dated in pne. of the
towns of Oregon, and says:
"Please inform me if cousins
can be legally married in tire
state of Oregon. If not, iu
what other states can thev be
legally married?"
In a boslscriDt the most inter
esting nart. of the letter id con
tained, showing aa abiding
iaicn in tne great power vested
in Oregon's Executive. It fol
lows:
"Could it be so arranged that
the parties could be married at
Salem by 'your authority?"
Govenor Geer informed the
seeker after knowledge that tia
der tha laws of Oregon consins
could no! be legally married,
that no One, ne-t even the gov
ernor, could set asida the laws,
and advised him to consult the
laws of the etate of Washington,
where it might be possible tha
desired ' marriage could ". take
place.
