Albany Herald: Gene Larimore was re
turning borne from church Sunday even
ing, when in a lonely street be heard
someone seemingly trying to pass him
from behind. He stepped aside to allow
him to pass, when the fellow struck at
him with a murderous knife, cutting his
hat but fortunately not deep enough to
inflict any injury. Mr. Larimore ran up
the slreet,and procuring assistance turned
and gave the fellow chase. He ran toward
tbe Southern Pacific depot and eluded
them. The police were notified, but they
could not find the miscreant.
The reservoir at Dayton, recently built
at great expense, and which on being first
filled broke, bnt was renlaced. is ar&in
empty, laving been found to be unsafe.
The Inlander says of it: "It has been
.known for some time-that it was leaking
and it was not allowed to fill entirely. A
few days ago it was allowed to fill. In
less than 24 hours water was discovered
bursting from near the place where it
broke out when first filled. The water was
immediately let out of the reseryoir and
' another break prevented. The wall was
found cracked at the same place where
ihe big break was made." .
Tbe mountain division, between La
Orande and Pendleton, during tbe m
xlement seasons of tbe year, always lur
swb tbe usual items of interest for news
papers, and this season it has started . in
real earnest in this direction. Heavy rains
and snows have prevailed all over tbe
coast, and tbe Blue mountains have not
been excepted. Two or three dsys ago
there was a snow blockade, and to-day
we learn that a traia was ditcbed a few
miles west of La Grande, and four per
sons killed, among tbem tbe mail
clerk, engineer and brakeman. This re
port is not verified, as only one wire was.

ascertain any definite particulars.
Baker City Blade: Wm. Murray is re
ported to have nearly perished on the
Granite stago during the blizzard of the
25th. He started on his return trip to
HcEwenvilie with a two-horse sleigh
with the mail and it seems that when he
reached the summit of the Burnt river
mountains the storm was raging so that
the road was soon covered up, and tbe
bones becoming exhausted wandered out
of the road. He laid out all night, when
Mr. McEwen, who had become alarmed
at his non-arrival, started eutto search
for him. He found him between Austin
and' Parker's station completely ex
hausted and nearly dead. He was taken
to the nearest house where he is being
well cared for. Wm. Murray will be re
membered as the young man who drove a
street car in this city during September
and October. It is noped he will soon be
all right.
Linkville Star: Two little orphans,
Warren McDonald and his sister, of
Lakeview, were in Linkyille this week on
their way to Pomeroy, Wash., where they
will reside with Grandma McDonald. It
was affecting to see the look of depend
ence which each little orphan placed on
tbe other, as the cold winds of this world
toyed with their hair, and loving voices
of tbe other world "echoed in their inno
cent hearts. Tney knew that this world
was cold, but pa and ma were in toe sky
and grandma she was in Pomeroy, and
would receive them with warm embraces
and loving words. They were comfort
ably wrapped up, however, and cheerful.

J H, Babcock, the McKeuzie man af
flicted with leprosy, has been taken away,
and we congratulate the people of Lane
couniy, and especially those of the upper
McKenzie, upou tbe same. He was
brought here last Monday evening at
o'rilock, then a private conyeyance was
hired and he was taken to Junction City,
at which point he took the north-bound
overland train at 8:30 a. h. Tuesday and
made the trip through to Seattle, Wash.,
without incident. At that city he was
placed on board a small steamer and con
veyed to Port Blakely, Wash., where he
was taken aboard a ship, loading with
lumber at that point for the bandwicn
Islands. A cabin has been built on tne
deck of the ship previously to his arrival,
where he will be confined during the trip
to Honolulu. After Jiis arrival at that
place he will be taken to the goyernment
leper hospital, and confined, until the reg
ular semi-annual gathering of lepers takes
place, when Babcock will be conveyed to
Molakia, Ibe home of those afflicted with
that terrible disease the leprosy. At
that place he will die", for no person sub
ject to the disease has ever been known
to escape therefrom. Babcock was per
fectly willing to be taken to that p!ce

The Florence West says that last
Wednesday as three men, strangers, were
walking op tbe beach lrom Gardiner and
when aboat three miles tbia side of that
place tbey found a man lying dead on
the beacb near tbe edge of tbe breakers.
They drew him upon tbe sand out of tbe
water, and in so doing discovered that
both his arms had been broken. He was
a young man, heavy built, and had a
light sandy mustache. He wan dressed
in a sailor suit and Irom tliu and otDer
appearances tbey concluded be was an
omcer from some boat which bad gone
to pieces during tbe last storm. About
balf a. mile further up the beacb tbey
found a row boat which bad recently
come ashore, and to which were tied a
pair of shoes and an oil cloth. It is alto
gether probable that the sailor and boat
are both of tbe schooner General Butler,
wbicb was foundered off Caps Arago:
Her mate and four sailors have not been
beard from since the storm, hence tbe
conclusion. The body was taken to
Gardiner and there interred.

enjoyed 'a life of single blessedness. She
lives in a house now owned by Jmlge Elliot,
a portion of wbich was built by old man
Shively in 1845; she is a sister of the judge,
and in all probability good for many more

In placing the new pipes in position on
Second street yesterday, the ditch was tilled
without these being properly joined, and.
in consequence, there was a leak this morn

and the water was pumped ont of the ditch
uncovered and the pipes properly joined.
This caused another cessation of water for
some time.

A yonng frenchman named Frank La-

committed to the asylum. For some time

A few weekago be came in town intending
to study the English language, and desired
to engage a teacher for tbat purpose. During
the time be was herding sheep he carefully
saved hia surplus ages, and is considered to
be pretty well fixed regarding coin. For a
few days past he has been acting strangely.
and his examination to-day developed the
fact tnat he waa undoubtedly demented. It
is to be hoped that a short time at Salem
will restore his reason, and that in a little

The Teachers' Meeting. '
A number of teachers of tbia county, met
together iu this city in answer to a call,
sent out by Supt. Shelley, to all the teach
ers of Wasco couunty to be present at a
meeting of teachers to be held in tbe super
intendeot's office Dec. 30, 1891. At 10 A.
M the meeting waa called to order by Supt.
Shelley, the object of the meeting stated,
nd Mr. E. VV Merrell appointed secre
tary ' The teachers had been called to
gether to hear tbe report of the committee,
appointed at the last county institute, to
consider the subject of a graded course for
country schools. Supt. Shelley made a re
port for the committee, be being the only
member of the committee able to be present
at this meeting. Tbe report of the com
mittee having been received, the meeting
took op the sadject, and after a free die
casion, a course of study was agreed u poo.
By a motion it was decided that the course
thna prepared be recommended to the
teat he rs and school oSieers of the county,
and that it be published in the county
paters, and also in pamphlet frrm, for nse
at the next county institute, at which time
the subject should be freely discussed and
if deemed advisable by tbat body the
county superintendent be requested to adopt
a giaded course of study for tbe schools of
this county. The course of study recom
mended by tbe teachers consists of eight
years' work,. and it is believed that it adopt
ed by tbe schools many advantages would
arise. The course in its entirety will be
ready for publication in a few days, anil it
is earnestly hoped and requested by the
superintendent that all the teachers and
school officers of the county exam ne it
carefully with a view of offering any sug
gestions or changes tbat may seem best.
The teachers seem to be in earnest about
the matter and it is believed that a course
similar to (hat suggested will be adopted
and in the near future become a part of our
school system.

The people of Ort-ir in are renmvoed
for beir geuerositj and liberality towards)
ail sufferers, as tbe folio uig will dem
onstrate: "The Corvalhs Leader gives a
picture of the present age, one whicb was
also presented in Albany; but not allowed
to - remain by our eagle eyed police: A
horrible, sight was to be seen on our
streets a few days ago. A cripple witb a
badly mangled foot, which was exposed
to the weather, wentaoout on crutches,
begging for aid from every ono be met
Being in such a condition be picked . up
several dollars from sympathetic people
aod then got on a glorious drunk. He
was put to bed by an officer, but became
so boistrou that be was finally put in tbe
calaboose and kept there over night. Tbe
next morning he lett town by order of
the oightwatcbmuc. It is said that be
was seen picking off he scabs and irri
tating bis sore foot, no doubt for tbe pur
poso of giving it a horrible appearance-
that it might work on tbe sympathy of
tbe people. A thief is more of a man
than such a fellow as this, and he must
suffer the penalties of tbe law, while this
man is allowed to go scott free, robbing
tbe people ia broad day light.
