Mr. Stacy Shown, wbo has been in the employ of Mr. Garretson for a long time past, will open op a watch repalrin . shop in .Dunham s drug store, aud all work entrusted to bis care will receive prompt attention. . The lack of sidewalks fn the burned district is felt by pedestrians during this muddy weather. We hope walks will be constructed in a short time, and we are glad to see some of our property owners making a move in this direction. When the Oeegonian arrived on the noon train-the election news" was eagerly read by the people, and Democrats were ex ceedingly joyful over New York and Re-, publicans over Ohio and the decreased Democratic vote in Massachusetts. - Dennis Sullivan, a miner in the Parrot mine near Bntte, Montana, was killed Saturday afternoon. He was getting some giant powder out oi a box contuin ' log about twenty-pounds of the explosive when the contents in some way was dis charged, blowing him to pieces. - Articles of incorporation for the East Fork Irrigating Canal company were filed yesterday, with the county clerk.

Langille Mr. Geo. Mcintosh, who received the final papers of citizenship Monday, was lormerly a soldier in . the Black Watch 42 Highlanders. He was at Tel el Keber, and the different battles in-that campaign. His father, grandfather and great grand father were also members of the same regiment. As a British soldier he says he has fought for the flag, and bow he Jsays as an American he will support the stars and stripes with equal loyalty. Blade: Baker City at prcsent is in fested with a number of tough characters. Two burglaries were committed last mgnt and it immediate steps are not taken at once to rid the city of hobos we. may look for several more to follow soon. Onr citizens will not stand this kind of work and if the police officers do not do their duty, will take the matter into their own hands, and we are of the opinion that they will have very little mercy on the tough characters. " Fred Zorn, a prisoner in the Umatilla county'iail, who attempted to kill bis wife, bis mother in-law and himself, still carries in bis head the bullet which did not-prove fatal. Monday morning he was awakened from his sleep and nearly choked to death by a piece of bid .own bone, probably a small part of the jaw "broken by the bullet,. Deputy Sheriff Mcrtis hurried after a doctor. When the latter arrived Zorn bad swallowed the bone, and thus relieved his suffering. htard: Saturday evening about 6:30 o'clock, a brakeman had his arm mashed while coupling cars at Henderson station, formerly Springfield, on the Southern Pa cific railroad. He was brought to Eugene at once by the train and taken to the Hoffman House, where the . company's surgeon dressed the wound. He found the inner bone of the left wrist badly crushed, but the doctor is of the opinion that the hand can be saved. The injured tne same evening on the overland train. A Miller coupling was the cause of the accident Baker Democrat: Last Sunday C. W. James, cashier of the Baker City Nation al Bank, paid a visit to the White Swan mine and on his starting on his return home $2000 in gold was placed in his custody for shipment to the U. S. mint. This amount is the output of a three days' run on White Swan ore. - Mr. James say? that $500 more was in . the retort at the mill and was not ready to be sent in. With this last cleanup the total output of the White Swan for the month of October twenty days of actual mill run amounts to $10,000. . The assessment roll of Gilliam county shows the following figures: Acres of land, 189,896.73; value, $335,27933; av erage value, $3; value of town lots, $33, 890; improvements, $440,791; merchan dise and implements, $1 12,847; money, notes, accounts, shares of stocks, etc., $268,188; number of horses and mules, 8442; value, $183,884; average, $20; cat tle, 10,043; value, $122,631; sheep, 81,597 ; value, $1"'7,044; swiner937; value, $2906; gross yalueof properly, $1,687,149; ' in debtedness, $529,256 ; exemptions, $161, 228; total taxable property, $984,488.72: number oi polls, 499. yj enterprise: The corporation seal used by the recorder of Oregon City is probably the oldest in the state. The city was in corporated while Oregon was a territory. The recorder's seal consists of a plain disk in he outer part of which is "Oregon City Corporation, O. T." As-Oregon be came a state m 1858 this seal must have been made and used before that date. A Jaurel wreath is twined outside .a circle on the inside of- which is a representa tion of the gun setting behind a pile of rocks. The seal is considerably worn by long usage, but it is ttill distinct in the main and seems good tor as many more years as it has already served. , Basl Qregonian; The O. & W. T. is troubled no more at Pendleton- with at tachment processes. The sheriff has ceased levying upon engiue coal, and everything is now serene. The reason is thusly. Attorneys for plaintiffs in the Frank Riffle and J. D. L man suits have garnisheed money in the' hands of the Northern Pacific received for wheat shipped over the O. & W. T., which is collected bv the N. P.. who have the loosest haul, at the other end of the line. This is deemed a better way for collec tion than to levy on engines, coal, ware houses, stock-yard, etc., at Pendleton. 'Attorian: A man went clattering along the sidewalk Mondav. making as much noise as a horse. Curiosity impelled one to look at his feet, when something was seen that was probably never noticed in Astoria before; he had stone soles en his boots. The boots were made like ordi ' nary boots, except that the lower or double sole consisted of a thin layer, oi what looked like concrete or cement, a shell ot set stone on which the upper Sole was pasted. It was not flexible, and one couidn't do much dancing in them. We had seen wooden shoes, and a remem brance of the copper-toed shoes of boy hood, but soles made of stone were some thing new. 1 he man said he was irom Dakota, had bought the shoes at Fargo, and was here about a week, ihey were made m Connecticut.. Statesman: The Western Iron Works, of San Francisco, which received the con' tract for putting in the sixtv . new iron cells at the penitentiary, have three men at work. The eetls will be put .in on the north wing and will make a complete tier. At present tbey are putting in the irons for the walk around the cells. A larger force of men will be put to work bv the comDaDV in a short time. .It is likelv the Work will be completed by early spring. It is thought that a larger number of convicts will be in "the peui tentiarv bv the first of January than the institution has ever contained, and if that is tLe case the cells will be greatly naeded. The lust legislature appro priated $10,000 for putting in the new cells. ;.'!! Eugene Guard; While Henry Bolen and wife, of Mohawk, were at Judkins point Monday morning on their .way to Eugene the Roseburg local train came along frightening the horses so they be came unmanageable and tbey went over the bluff at a point where it is about fifteen feet high. Mrs. Bplen was ren dered unconscious by the fall. She was brought to the residence ot-Mr. bcuu mate in this city, and Dr. Shelton called to attend ber. It if not thought the injuries will proye serious, no -uones being broken. Mr. tsoien was noi in jured. The horses and wagon escaped vitn little damage. Aimougn a numuer of people on the train saw the accident, it was not stopped to pick up the injured woman and bring her to town. -The place is a dangerous one and several ac cidents have occurred there before. ' A strong fence should be built along the line of the bluff- From Thursday's Dally. Mr. Frank Kincaid, of Antelope, is ii the city. Mr. Arthur Kennedy, who baf been m nipulatin type at Moro, returned dunug the week. Mrs. E. O. McCoy aod sister, Mis3Mc Donald, of Grants, are registered at the Umatilla House. Mrs. W. H. H. Dufur, of Dufur, is id the city, visiting her daughter, who is at tending St. Mary s academy. Piling on the Regulator wharf is nearly com Dieted, and will, when nnisheu, oe convenient roadway to and from the boat. Mr. Philip Brogan, ., and Mr. Allen Grant, of Antelope, came into the city yes terday. These men are among tbe largest sheen-breeders and wool-ratters in Vasco couDty. Tbe stockyards at the Eakt End present the nsual busy appearance, and hardly a day passes that cattle are not fed from dif ferent points in the interior and shipped to market. The police court was barren of incidents this morning. Last night the jail did not have a single occupant, and the recorder is devoting his attention to other matters of a sublunary nature. We are informed by Mr. Philip Brogan, sr., that the rains which have recently fallen in this city did nor extend to Ante lope and vicinity, and there was not enough moisture in the ground tor plowing. A clear atmosphere and a bright sun cheers tbe denizens of this part of the In land Empire to-day. W hen ' we have sum cient moisture for farmers to plow our peo ple earnestly desire the nsual sunshine, aud bright, clear weather. The new mains which were to be laid east on Eight street, from Union, -has not been placed in tbe ground. We understand that the Water Commission has purchased the interest of the Wasco Independent acade my ib tbe water system, anV nothing new will be inaugurated. Mr. James Quieley, ot Antelope, died ratber suddenly last Thursday. He was aged about 35 years, and unmarried. His parents liye in the east, and are wealthy and highly respected. Mr. Quigley was an honest and industrious young man, and was well liked by all his aequaiiitapcea. The roads to the interior are reported in a terrible condition. During the dry weather they were cut np by wheat wagons, aod the late rains have made th em full of "chuck" holes, in places they are reported. almost impassable, and will require con siderable repairing before they are in any thing like a fair condition. Neva: Crook county's mineral wealth is slowly but surely being developed. It Is only a matter of time when its hidden treasures of gold and silver will be brought to the surface. The numerous "finds" that are being made are not all mere glitterings. Some of them will prove to be rich depos ites ot the precious metals. Reporters reaped no harvest at the sheriff's or clerk's office to-day. The dep uty-clerk was busy copying a release of a mortgage, and did not have a single deed, marriage license, or naturalization paper of which to make a note. The affable deputy sheriff was smoking a corncob pipe, and swearing at the result.in Ohio.. There was a crumb ot comtort to him in tbe lammany majority: but this did not .make him exult ant over Massachusetts or Iowa. The Pendleton East Oregonian of Monday contains an account of the finding of the dead body of a man alongside the track near Gibbon station on the mountains. He was lying on his iace in a rock pile, and on examination a cut.two inches in length was fouud on the back of his head. A coroner's inquest was held, and a verdict returned that deceased came to bis death by being thrown from the train. He was recognized as Sam Smith, who had worked as a section hand on the Union Pacific near Pendleton. On his person was found a paper recom mending J. W. Rice as a competent en gineer. rruieville Mews: several rrineyille cap italists have invested to some -extent -recently in the Elliott mining company , of Upper Uchoco. some thirty or torty tons of rock haye been taken from the main lead, and from this pile of rock the shareholders have gathered promiscuously one ton ot it, which tbey propose to take to San Francisco and haye the same assayed. A representa tive of the company will go with tbe rock and attend to its milling in person. By this means a fair test of the value of tbe rock can be obtained. If the assay is sat isfactory,the necessary machinery for work ing the mine will be brought on at once, and the rock will all be milled at home. - Jas. W. Breen, a writer in an Eastern paper, gives a list of millionaires in Port land and Seattle. It contains 49 in Port land and 17 in Seattle. It undoubtedly is very incorrect, though interesting. W. S. Ladd's. wealth is placed at $20,000,000; Jacob Kamm's at $15,000,000; H. W. Cor bett's at $10,000,000; Henry Failing, $5, 000,000; C. H. Lewis, $4,000,000; D. P. Thompson, $3,000,000; Frank Dekum, $3, 000,000. W. M. LaiTd, G. B. Markle, J. B. Montgomery, J. W. Cook, Dan Macleay and S. G. Reed are each rated at $2,000, 000. J . Loe wen burg, H. Weinhard, G. H. Ainswotth, Tyler Woodward, Whittier & Co., and Starer & Walker are placed at $1,500,000, and then come the million dol lar men. In Seattle A. A. and D. T. Den ny are each givqa at $2,500,000, W. C. Squire, $2,000,00; H. L. Yesler and Geo. Kinnear, $1,500,000; J. M. Coleman, Dex ter Horton, etc., are tbe $1,000,000 men. From Friday's Daily.- . Mr. Geo. Baxter, of Antelope, is in the city to-day. . Mr. John M. Davis, of Bikeoven, is in the city to-day, . , - 'Mr. W. Lake, a merchant at Cascade Locks, is in the city. Our streets continue muddy; but more rain is needed by our tanners. Our schools have more. pupiU iu attend ance this season than any previous one. Mrs: D. Handley returned during the week from a visit to frien is in -Portland. The county court adjourned to-day. Full proceedings will be fouud iu another col nmn. - Mrs. W. H. Moody a id children, who have been visiting ou tbe Sound for some time past, returned yesterday.. . By reason of the illness of Mr. J. B. Crossen, the auction sale at Mr. N.. Harris' store will be postponed this evening. Miss Sarah Shaw, of Fairview, Multno mah county, is visiting "her schoolmate. Miss Josephine Schanno, of this city. Sidewalks are being laid on Second street as rapidly as possibly, and they are very mucn needed this muddy weather. In portions of tbe county feed is excel lent for sheep, but it will take another week belore it will be high enough for cat' tie. Mr. Vernon Roberts was appointed stock inspector for Wasco county yesterday by the county court, vice C. W. Rice, re signed. Quite a number of buildings are com pleted in the burned district, and these give an inhabited appearance to.this portion of the city. Freight trains are bnsily engaged in mov ing the grain crop from this and neighbor ing counties, and leave the depot west al most every hour. We received a pleasant call to-day -from Mr. G. W. Ingalls, who is now making a thorough canvass of the state to place (Jre gon in proper shape at tbe World's Fair in Chicago. . Work is being prosecuted at the locks at the Cascades most vigorously, and strong hopes are entertained that, with liberal ap propriations, in two years boats will pass through the canal. The city jail had four occupants last night three inebriates aud one hobo. This morning the city recorder interviewed those wbo imbibed, and they were fined anil went on theif way rejoicing. Union Scout: The prisoners confined in the county lail made an attempt to -eseape on Monday afternoon by digging a hole, in, the west end of the brick wall, but were discovered in time to prevent it. Mr. Geo. Perkins, a Bubject of Great Britain, and a countryman of Shakespeare, Addison, Byron, Pitt, Huxley and Herbert Spencer, took oath before the county clerk to-day to be a true and loyal American citizen hereafter. Superintendent Shelley has a Jarge lot of school supplies, amounting to over 350 pounds, consisting of the new laws. The school' officei s should call at his office and receive these supplies, as these are too bulky to be sent through the mail. The professional card of Mr. W. J. Rob erts, civil engineer and surveyor, appears in another column. Mr. Roberts is a graduate of the state university and also of a school of engineering in Boston. He is well known to our citizens, and all work done oy bim can be relied on as correct. The Yakima Republic says that Peter Gervais of Yakima has raised 2455 bushels of potatoes on one acre, without rain or irrigation, and the potatoes were so large that four of them that were taken to tbe Republic office weighed 19 pounds. The potatoes were worth, at $10 per ton, just $736.50, and were raised on $60 per acre school laud. Exchange: It is said that an Idaho farmer raised 1000 bushfls of popcorn and stored it in a barn The barn caught tire and was burned down: the corn began to pop aud filled ,a ten-acre field; one of his old mares that was nearly blind saw the corn, thought it was snow, and said aou n and froze to death. Mr. J. Doherty removed his justice office this afternoon to the undertaking rooms of Coroner Michel, on the corner of Third and Washington streets, where he will be found at anytime to attend to any business in bis line. . Mr. G. W. Ingalls left with his compli ments at our office to-day a handsome pho tograph of the exhibit of Wasco couuty at the Industrial Exposition in Portland. This exhibit was a credit to this portion of the state, and the photograph does it full justice. Union Scout: There are only twenty two prisoners and witnesses confined iu the county jail. The number was swollen to this amouut on Saturday night by the ar rival of Thomas Black and James Curry, two more men from L Grande, committed by Justice Alberson to await the action of the grand jury for larceny". To-morrow evening the annual inspection and general muster of A and C companies, Third Regiment, O. N. G., will be held at the Court House in this city. Tbe regi mental staff will also take part in tbe in spection and muster. The militia, by rea son of the loss of nniforms and equipments. .will not present a very military appearance, but we expect the state will supply these. Salem Statesman: The Oregon State Ag ricultural society (the organization that formerly conducted the state fairs and in whom title to the fair grounds is vested) is preparing to make a transfer of tbe real es tate belonging to the society to the State Board of Agriculture, under whose auspices the state fair is made an annual success. This transfer is being made in accordance with a resolution passed by the society at its lost annnal meeting, held at Salem dur ing fair week last September. The prop erty now being transferred consists of a tract of about 160 acres just north of Salem, being the state fair grounds. Tbe last leg islature gave the board of agriculture au thority' to hold real' estate. The transfer will be made in a few dava. - Third Eegiment, 0. E.G. We clip the following item's from the Northwestern Guardsman, of Portland, Vol. L No. 1 of which ' has just been issued : On the Second of September, the ar mory at Tbe Dalles and the headquarters records of the 3rd Regiment were de stroyed by fire, as well as some equip ments and the uniforms and instruments of the b&nd. For lack of funds tbe band will be compelled to disband at tbe anbual inspection, which will be held November 7t.h. The fire also destroyed tbe- uniforms of A and C companies, the sixty overcoats issued the regiment dur ing tbe encampment, and all tbe regi mental tents and camp equipage. The regiment is out ot debt and will at once replace the uniforms of A and C com panies, and tbe ptate will undoubtedly replace the belts and bayonets destroyed. A new armory and headquarters will be furnished as speedily as possible. At tbe encampment last June, ninety-seven per cent of the entire enrolled strength ftf the regiment reported at Camp Cheno- with and remained six days, with the exception of three men, wbo were granted leave of absence because of sick ness in their families. This is a remark able record, and one of which tbe 8d Regiment should feel duly proud. The resignation of Colonel T. A. Houghton, of the 3d Regiment, is now in tbe hands of Governor Pennoyer, and will probably take effect tbe latter part of December. Colonel Houghton's change of residence from Tbe Dalles to. Poitland necessitates this action. Tbe loss of tbe uniforms and equip ments of companies A and C of The Dalles, naturally puts a stop to any great amount of drilling. The other companies of the regiment, however, are drilling regularly and making'fiae progress. Moonlight on the Columbia. To gratify the pleasure seekers of our city, the ladies of the M. E. church will give a moonlight excursion on the Colum bia river on Friday, Nov. 13th, leaving the wharf on the Regulator at 8 p. h., and will return about midnight. Tickets, to include refreshments, are now on sale at . the drug stores and also at the D. P. & A. N. Co. 'a office at $1 each. Proceeds to be used in furnishing the new M. E. church. No re duction will be made' for children oves two years old. Every one should, buy their tickets early as only a limited number can be accommodated. By order of the committee. Common Council. A special meeting of the council was held last evening at the council cham bers, the mayor and Mr. Dufur, council man, were absent. . . - Hon. C. N. Thornbury was elected chairman. The assessment of Mr. E.. FitzGerald was reduced -to $2700. " There being no-further business the council adjourned to - Saturday evening, when a special meeting will be held for the purpose of passing an ordinance in relation to sidewalks. .Sudden Death, Mr. Norman Semple, residing with his mother on Chenoweth creek, died very suddenly Sunday morning, of heart failure.' He had been aick only two or three days, when he answered tbe .dread summons which 'all must obey. -He was an indus trious young man, having worked at plas tering since the fire, and was the sole sup port of a widowed mother, wbo has the heartfelt sympathy of this . community in her sad affliction. - '" ' r ' Z ' EEHO'S KEYM0TES. Bear Hnntlns and Neighborhood Jos- ip High Price and Low Price for Wheat T. H. BleWreer Tor tne Legislature. Dufpb, Or., Nov. 3, 1S9L Editor Tuces-Houstaikeer: . For some weeks I have neglected to fur nish you tbe news and nonsense of this neighborhood, and through my neglect the world will never know the full particulars of the "great bear hunt,'- indulged in by Messrs. Kliuger, Woodcock and Anderson, This was the hunt referred to in your col umns when a doubt was expressed as to whether Keno would tree the bear or the bear tree Keno. Bear were reported very plentiful before we went, but a careful ex amination proved the bear tracks were all squaw tracks, and it was squaws that had been gathering acorns and not members of the bruin family. I wonld say in regard to the insinuation that I have no record as bear hunter; that my record is second only to Grizzly Adams', and if you need an office robe get your order in early. Three braver hunters "never camped in the Cas cades than sat around Klinger's patent camp stove that first night out, and had any wandering bear listened to tbe yarns told be would haye concluded that he had made a grievious mistake by not going into winter quarters last July. The only ani mal discovered investigating the camp was a coyote, and from the way be left and the rate and direction he was traveling he will easily get to Ohio in time to vote. I am sorry to say that there are but few changes in the demeanor of Dock Balch and hi9 cow "Tex." Dock chases her around the block twice daily for his stomach's sake, and it .is said he locked her up in Parson Holgate's barn Hallowe'en that she might fill up. The Parson's horses were in Johns ton's barn next morning and Henry Mene- fee had a man for breakfast hanging on his meat market sign. It is rnmored that Dea con Hinman assisted Balch in the deyilment committed, but of course they covered their tracks well and are blaming other members of the community. The real old "original town cow has just completed a large contract of cabbage pick ing in the garden of Squire Menefee. A grand Thanksgiving ball is one of the advertised entertainments under the man agement of George Nolan and Steve Kist- ner. This will surely be " a great success. for the boys are noted for leaving nothing ubdone that will add to the enjoyment of those attending. The supper will he given by Mrs. Ella Woodford, who has rented the Central House from Mr. Bohna. . Mrs. Woodford has had a great deal of exper ience in hotel keeping and is determined to make this house second to none in the county. Eyerybody in this section is in favor of the Regulator and determined to patronize her. but many are getting heartily tired . of being abused for selling to Moody at an advancsd price in preference to selling to tbe Regulator buyers. The difference in prices between the buyers runs frcm one half cent to thirteen cents in favor of Moody, and it is noticable that wheat stored in the Wasco Warehouse is run down to the-low-est notch by the Regulator buyer, simply because he thinks the former is prejudiced against Moody and would prefer to not deal with him Several cases of this Kind have come to hand, and by request I will giye one of them in full: Mr. Frost of this place, who Is sick, placed bis wheat in the hands of George Nolan with the request that he store it at the Wasco Warehouse and sell it there. When the first of the wheat was brought in the buyer said he could give 76 cents for it. The wheat was landed in the warehouse and no secret of Frost'e preju dice made. A few days ago Nolan went in to sell it and was informed that 65 cents was the most that could be offered on account ot an imaginary decline. Nolan then went to Moody and sold . it for 7S cents, paid the storage and cleared about 11 cents over the other's offer. Now this case does not stand alone, though it plainly shows a. greater difference . of prices than the others, and while the proposed investigation ot Moody's connection with the -47. P. is going on, it would be just as well to have a committee examine into the sanity of men who think the farmers simple enough to put up with such work just be cause they want the Regulator to moye their grain. The whole matter was well expressed by a gentleman, who has been watching the market for several years, as follows: "There has been Moody and anti-Moody at The Dalles for years, and there is no difference so far as their object of making money is concerned; but they remind one of two fish erman the anti-Moody attempting to catch the old farm-raised sucker with a bare hook and Moody using a bait and landing the fish." While slates are being quietly made out and the majority of citizens are quietly pay ing no attention to politics, we wcfuld like to mention the name of HeDry McGreer, of Antelope, for representative for the next legislature. That Mr. McGreer's friends would haye pressed him strongly for the place last year had his name been brought out early in the race is well known, but by his speciatj-equest it was withdrawn, and next convention his friends will rally to his support. His name is mentioned thus far ahead that none may feel themselves in jured by his candidacy. A successful -business manlwho has the confidence of every man who ever dealt with him, an honored citizen haying tbe respect of all who know him, an intelligent farmer who, though taking an active part in politics, has never been accused of leaning toward either of the political factions of Wasco county, and as able a man as Wasco county can honor and be honored by Sending to the next legisla ture to look after her interests. II Henry McGreer will accept he is the man we want. - ' Kexo. The Sammemlle Bank Bobbery. From Thursday's Daily. " - Dr. Rinehart received a letter from bis brother, Mr. W. C. Rinehart, cashier of tbe'-bank at Suuimerville, this morning, dated November 4tb, 3 a. m., giving the following description of the robbery: 1 returned to the office fast night about 7 o'clock to do some work, and a little after 8 I started home. After blowing out the lightb I started out the front door, aud just as I opened it two masked men presented pistols on me and forced me back into tbo bank. I came near crowding them out, and bad the door'almost shutj but they over powered me. During the time I made one good yell, and Jack Patten's saloon door was opened, hut ttiey thought it was some boy and paid no attention to it. I wai forced at the muzzle of thd giine to open the vault and deliver over the cash.' They got away with $4,779.80. We will make a clean search for them in a couple of hours, .and hope to be able to do something. , Yours, etc., W. C. RlNEHABT. The doctor, his father and brothers are owners of the bank, and the loss f&lU heav ily on them. . t Drowned From His Boat. Astorian. Last Monday evening Coroner Surprenant was visited by a young man named Elliott, from Elliott's landing, who told him that he had just come come down from Browns ville, about fifteen miles up the river on tbe Oregon side, where' be had fonnd the dead body of a man lymg near a boat. The coroner chartered the steamer 7m- provement, and at I o'clock yesterday morn ing, after a pleasant five hours in the storm, he finally found the place on th9 river shore where tbe dead man had been brought. He was brought down here yesterday morning. Young Elliott was the only one wbo had any definite information. Tbe man's name was L. W. Hunt; be was a native of Ban gor, Me.; he had been fashing tor vvm. Hume at Eagle Cliff for the last six years. His boat and net are now there. Since the fishing season closed he has been living in a house near Knappa with a man named Sawyer. Last Saturday he started in a 'very small flat-bottomed skiff to go across to an island to hunt ducks. That was the last seen of him alive. When found, tbe body was in the water nnder the boat; the boat had lodged between two logs that came together diagonally. He bad started to take off one boot and sock, and the strings of his decoy ducks were wound around bis legs. He had evidently fallen overboard Saturday night and perished miserably in the darkness. Coroner Suprenant received a telegram from Mr. Hume yesterday afternoon re questing that decent burial be given the body. It was deemed unnecessary to bold an in quest. The funeral will be at Greenwood cemetery. COUUTY C0UET. Koad Matters Bills Allowed. and Other Matters of interewt . Surveyors report on road No. 94 laid over till next session.

MTJEDEE WILL OUT. The Mystery Surrounding the Murder or Wiliis SHUT Solved at &at. Baker City Blade. The old saying that "murder will out" has probably come true at last in the case of the mysterious disappearance of Willis Skiff, a prominent citizen of Union, about six years ago. The sudden disappearance of Skiff and the mystery which enshrouded the affair is still fresh in the minds of our readers and does not need leiterating here. At the time of the disappearance of Skiff three parties living at North Powder were arrested and tried for his murder, namely, Dr. Tibbetts, Bobier and Dave Wiggins. On account ot lack of evidence the parties were released. In conversation with a passenger on the east-bound train Wednesday morning we were informed that last week a party was hung in Montana for murder by the name of Dr. Tibbetts, and that before he died Tibbetts confessed to the murder, of Willis Skiff and afterwards disposing of the body in Powder river... Dr. Tibbetts, the passen ger informed us, exonerated Uobier and Wiggins from any knowledge of or hand in tbe murder of Skiff and that he alone did the deed. ' How mueh truth there is in the report we cannot say at present, but are of the opinion that it ip true, as at the time of the trial public sentiment and circumstances were against Tibbetts, but enough evidence could not be gathered to convict him. " The tollowing clipping from the La Grande Chronicle may tend to throw some light on the subject: "There is a rumor afloat that Tibbetts, who was tried for the murder of Willis Skiff, was hung last week in Montana and confessed that his 'name was Tibbetts and that ho killed a man at North Powder, Oregon, named Willis Skiff, and sunk his body in Powder nyer." Oonunon Council. An adjourned meeting of the council was held last eyening at the con Dei 1 chambers. at which the mayor and all members of the council were present. An ordinance was passed for tbe con struction of sidewalks on north and south ernes ef Second Btreet from Washington to Madison, and on the south side to Taylor; on Third street from Court to Madison on south side, and on Fourth from Court to Madison on same side of street. Tbe old water flume, on Tenth street, formerly used by Snipes & Smith mill, was ordered removed. - In the matter of the petition of Mrs. M. J. Wingate, the obstruction in Lincoln street, in what is known as Fritz' alley, was ordered removed. The Btreet commissioner was ordered to build a bridge across the slough at the foot of Court and Washington street, if the same could be constructed at a cost of $100. Report of the city treasurer was received aod placed on file. Ordered that , arc lights be placed at the corners of Second and Laughbn and Third and Jefferson streets. An ordinance was passed -transferring moneys from the general fund to the special fund, for the purpose of redeeming war rants. A reconsideration was made of the order ot last meeting vacating the office of night watchman at the East End, and Mr. J. H. Jackson was appointed for another month at a salary of 60. The city attorney was instructed to draw up a cow ordinance creating the office of pound-master, whose salary should depend upon fees for impounding cattle. Eeal Estate Transactions.
