Chas. E. Uarcley, of Mont
pelier, Idaho, in cwiupany with
his wife, ba been visiting Iriends
aud relatives during the past
week in Alsea, and while on their
way they stopped for a few days
visit in Portland, where Charlie
had an experience that. he will
not soon forget.
About ii o'clock one night he
was suffering from a severe cramp
ing in his stomach, not wishing
to disturb' the inmatts of the
hotel he decided to go to a drug
store about a block away and,
procure some medicine to re
lieve his sufferings. On. reach
ing the drug ytore he found it
locked for the night and started
to leturu to his apaituieuts, tin
hearing a slight noise behind him
he looked around and received a
blow from a "sand bagger." He
was found ; by the police about
three hours later in an insensible
condition. When he recovered
he found his pockets wiong side
out and his purse containing $270
was gone. Fortunately his wife
had in her own purse a ten dol
lar bill, which took them to Alsea.
The Modern Woodmen at that
place, of which Mr. Barcley is a
highly honored member, present
ed him with $20 in cash, hey
returned to Idaho Monday. ;
in the water and was finally taken
home by the "young Bayn. The
seal belongs 10 the fur vari t,'
and is one of the sights at New
port for th; season. The owner
of this strange pet feeds it by
means of a bottle, the seal taking
kindly to sweet milk taken
th rouge a tube. -The . little, pet
attracts all visitors at the seaside
resoit, many of whom have never
seen an animil of that species.
Peculiar Phenomenon.
The. report ot a peculiar .'phe
nomenon comes' from Henderson
Station, two miles, east of! Eu
gene.. A couple of days . ago
workmen were drilling for water
and had reached a depth, of fifty
ene feet when sudden! v they be
gan to hear a deep rnmblm noise
coming from the bowels "of the
earth. - The men were at a loss
to account for the no'se, and be
ing considerabby frightened, quit
work'. .. u
The strange noise continued
for several hours, and was head
by a large number of persons
who visited the place for that
purpose. All agree that it sound
ed like a huge waterfall, and one
man declared that it sounded as
loud as if the Willamette river
was falling over a precipice a
hundred feet high.
New Foot Ball Coach for 6. A. C.
- Mr. A. C. Steckle, who has
bceu" securtd to look after the
foot ball eleven of the O A. C
for the coming season is consid
ered one. of the best men in his
position in the country.; He re
ceived his foot ball training under
I Yost and has for several years
coached the team at the Uuivei
sity of, Nevada, turning out. an
eleven that last seaso-i beat Ber
keley and tied Stanford. -
Arrangements have just been
completed to send therO. A. C.
to California this fll to play the
leading elevens, of that state.
With the exception of one man.
the O. A. C. has been held in
tact for next season's work, and
under such ; cqach , as Steckle
they should give a good . sec unt
! of thtmselvea against anv eleven.

Baby Seal Caught.
At Newport a baby seal was
washed ashore Wednesday and
was captured by the son of the
baker at Nye Creek, Mr. Bayn.
The seal was less than two feet
long and when it was first seen
had been cast up by a wave and
was crying pitifully.' Several peo
ple attempted to throw the small
stranger back into the seas, but
the little fellow would not remain
Mr. Taylor, living about 12 miles
south of here, met with a very
painful accident Tuesday evening
that may result in the loss of hear
ing in one ear. He was seated on
a load of wood, driving down a
steep grade, he reached back to
grasp the brake pole and in some
way missed his hold and fell. It
is not exactly known just how he
struck or the cause of tne accident,
but one ear was badly lacerated and
almost torn from his head, other
wise he was not seriously hurt.
