Between six and seven o'clock
yesterday morning a fire was dis
covered in the woodshed of E. P.
Greffoz, just back of his jewelrv
store. 1 he baker at Grant Elgin's
bakery discovered the blaze and
an alarm was sounded. The fir -was
extinguished before any par
ticular dimnge resulted.
Mr. Greftoz is positive that
this is the woik of an incendiary,
and, indeed, tne-state of affairs
seem to warrant this opinion In
the woodshed two or three cans
of asphalt were stored and-dost
to these cins"soine person had
aced tnree bottles that had
evidently contained kerosene.
These bottles of kerosene had
been wrapped with gunny sacks,
saturated with the oil, and set on
fire. Whoever the incendiary
was, he evidently : thought the
asphalt to be tar, and figured on
hot fire in a very short time.
But asphalt will not burn until
t becomes very hot: as it was,
the cans of asphalt got so warm
that they were boiling over when
discovered.
This case is similar to that of
ast fall when the woodshed of
E. R. Bryson was set on fire. In
the case of Mr.V Bryson it was a
woodshed, as in this event, and
everything- indicates that both
fires owe their origin to the same
artist.

A Copper Gun Barrel.
B. F. Curtis, of Cheney, Wash.,
under date of Jan. 27th, writes
quite an interesting communica.-
tion to the postmaster at Monroe,
this county. It seems that sev
eral years ago a copper gun bar
rel was found on the banks of
the Long Tom river and much
comment and discussion relative
to the relic ensued. - Following
is a copy of the letter which Mr.
Curtis addressed to the Monroe
postmaster:
Dear Sir: Several years ago I
saw published in the Corvaixis
Gazette that some one had
found a copper gun' barrel three
or four miles' from Monroe, on
the Long Tom river. I can give
the history of the copper gun
barrel. It was a flint lock and
the rest of it is in the vicinity
where the barrel was found. It
was lost ia 1835, or worn out
and thrown away. If you' can
find the person who has the bar
rel and send it to the Lewis . and
Clark Fair, I will write the his
tory of the copper flint lock and
send it to the possessor of the
barrel. It would be a great
relic. , . . -y'r.'
We are iudebted to Fred C.
Peil, assistant postmaster at Mon
roe tor the information as per
above paragraphed. Beyond doubt
if the barrel was placed" on exhi
bition at the exposition, accon
panied bv the history connected
therewith, it would be of great
interest to many. Who's got the
barrel? .
