Eugene Register: A peculiar and inhu
man transaction has come to light tbis
week. A couple of mornings ago a babe
a few.days o d was found a a house in
this city. When this became known other
occurrences were put together and tbe
whole story as summed up is that a young
unmarried woman gave birth to a child
about a week ago. The babe was taken
to Portland and an effort made to place it
in an orphan's home. This did not prove
successful and tbe babe was brought back
on the night train. 'Tbe next morning
one was lound at a residence and it is
doubtless tbe same child. The unnatural
. mother will doubtless become known and
' will have to take care of the child.
Mr. "W". H. Michell,a clerk in tbe Union
Pai ific office in Ibis city, baa been grantee
a leave of absence,- with tbe understand
ing that at any time he desires he can re
claim bis position. He has been sick for
some time, and a vacation being necessa
ry, a man was employed in his place un
til he sufficiently recovered his health to
resume his duties. An unreliable cotem
porary published a wrong statement of
tbe matter, which caused many to con
clude that the young man had been
discharged. ' The facts are as stated,
and Mr. - Michell being a. faithful
and competent employe of the company,
and being unable to perform his duties by
reason of ill health, was yery generously
granted a vacation. '

every cent he made. Since the railroad

earnings, and rarely ever leaves his cabin
except to procure bacon or coffee. A few
apple trees around his residence furnish
him with fruit. His only companion is a
dog, and on this animal he bestows all
his affection. The last time- he visited
Tbe Dalles was twenty-three years ago,
and since that date he has not disturbed
the haunts of civilization. He is about

There are good grounds for believing that
the Tacoma, Lake Park & Columbia Riyer
Railway company, which was incorporated
Monday, with capital stock of $3,000,000,
will become an important factor in north
western railway circles.
To-day tbe deeds are being made out
which will transfer to the company tbe Ta
coma & .Lake rark railway, i miles la
length, and it is said that work will begin
early in May on tbe first division of the
road to the Tilton river, abont 50 miles dis
tant from Tacoma. Tbe plan is to finish
tne road to The Dalles, on the Columbia,
this summer, and there connect with the
Union Pacific's transcontinental line. Such
line will be about 150 miles in length-and
will traverse Pierce, Lewis, Skamania and
Klickitat connties. This distance is but a
few miles longer than the Northern Pacific's
line to Portland. ' .
A gentleman who is connected with the
project said to-day that the building of tbe
line will give Tacoma and the Sound coun
try a better lumber market to the territory
reached by the Union Pacific, and that it
would also be tbe means of bringing the
Eastern Oregon wheat yieli to the tide
water at Tacoma, besides developing a fer
tile couatry between the Sound and The
Dalles. . 1
William Bailey, tbe president of tbe com
pany, is a .New York capitalist who is re
ported to have influential connections and
strong financial backing. He is president
of a railroad in Florida and an experienced
engineer and railroad man. He is reported
to have written to a local capitalist, who is
interested, that the company's road will
have such backing tbat Tacoma will be glad
to furnish it with proper city termiual facil
ities when the time comes to use them.
The Newt' informant said that engineers
will be put in the field at once, and that if
possible the entire linn to The Dalles will
be built tbis year. The proposed route is
southeast from Spanaway.via tbe confluence
of the Sic and Little Mashell rivers and the
Cowlitz pass.
- One report is to the effect that the road
means more than is generally supposed, it
being alleged tbat Mr. Bailey and his asso
ciates intend, and have sufficient financial
backing, to eventually extend the line to
Denver, Colorado. .

Dr. W. C. McKay, well known to all early
settlers of Oregon, the Telegram calls him
a "full-blood Indian.1' This is somewhat
short of the truth. Dr. McKay is a natur
alized American citizen, although born in
Oregon. He is a descendant of a British
subject, and bis mother was a native Amer
ican woman. He was born daring the joint
occupation of the terrirory by the United
States and Great Britain. The doctor is an
educated, highly honorable gentleman, and
a Mason of long standing. No one, when
in his company, ever thinks of him as a
"full-blood Indian," a 'h. -breed," or any
thing else than a cultivated American gen
tleman. , Tbe most of bis life baa been
passed in the Willamette valley. He ia

Olmsted, of Baker county, before the bal
loting for supreme judge commenced, with
drew his name as a candidate and made an
impassioned speech, reflecting with consid
erable warmth on tbe low prestige of the
supreme court of Oregon, as compared with
other states. It appeared evident that Olm
sted, finding it impossible to be elected,
took tbis opportunity to give vent to his
feelings.
W. D. Hare nominated yesterday as pres

A Ouxions Case.
East Oregonlan.
A prisoner who has had a peculiar his
tory for the past few days was conveyed
in a carriage to tbe court house from
Monday evening's west-bound train. His
name is George D A. Afaire, ana he was
found Monday wandering aimlessly
around in tbe sand near Umatilla, with
no ciothiag save a shirt and pantaloons,
and his bare feet scratched and bleeding.
fie was immediately taken in charge and
sent to Pendleton for examination. He
was supposed to be msane.but his trouble
was found to have resulted from acute al
coholism, and having partially recovered
he was quite rational when he told his
story to the county physician. It was
gathered that he had been on a prolonged
spree, the result of marital troubles, and
that he came from Portland. "The last I
remember," he said, "is that my wife,.
brother and sister started out to attend a
ball at the Turner's hall in Portland. I
wanted to go but couldn't put my shoes
on, and went barefooted. - When I arrived
my brother told me to remain in the hall
way awhile and he would come and take
me home. I afterward went to sleep and
when I awoke found myself in the custo
dy ot an officer. . l do not know whether
I was in jail or not.- A blank followed,
and when I recovered again I was lying
in tbe sand. 1 did not know where 1 was.
I thought my family were there, and
crawled around on my hands and knees
to find them. I had no shoes on and my
iect were hurting me. Maire does not
haye the slightest idea how he ' reached
Umatilla, bis memory from the night of
the ball being a perfect blank-. It is a
curious case, and evidences the power of
liquor over a man's being. The patient
will be kept in custody until he fully re
covers. ; Maire is a young, man, perhaps
twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old,
and good looking. ' Ue has been seen be
fore in Portland by one of the officers

SUMMONS.;
It's Mrs. Haggin's Baby-.
' Portland Dispatch. .
Tbis morning Judge Stearns decided tbe
Hagiin-Willis baby case in favor . of Mrs.
Haggin. The court room was full of spec
tators and friends of the contestants. .Both
of the mothers were present and the covet
ed little cherub was also there looking the
very picture of innocence, not dreaming for
the moment it was' the source of all the
trouble, which caused so mnch legal oratory
and the sheddiug of crocodile tears by the
attorneys and bard swearing by some of the
witnesses. When the judge cleared his
throat he looked wiser than King Solomon
of old did when be was called upon to ren
der a decision similar to tbis one. There
was a silence in the court room that was
aain 10 painininess; not a whisper was
heard, only the occasional cooing of the lit
tle bnnch of humanity tbat was causing the
trouble as it playfully sat in Mrs. Willis'
arms. When the decision was rendered
giving the child to Mrs. Eaggin there was
a scene that is almost , indescribable. The
women screamed, one for joy, the other in
agony. . The attorneys shed copious drops
of tears, friends of the mothers flocked
aronnd them and Mrs. Willis refused to
peacefully surrender the babe to its legal
parent, and it was taken from her by force
aod delivered to its mother. Tbe jndge
rspped for silence in the court room, and
said, "Now bring np John Smith for trial,'
and the crowd qnietly filed its way oat of
tbe court room. Thus ends one of tbe most
peculiar cases ever on the docket of an Ore
gon court, that of two respectable and sane
women claiming to be the natural mother of
the same little babe, and their case backed
up on each side by a score of witnesses.
friends, doctors and nurses. It will always
be a doubt in the minds of some whether or
not tbe rightful mother now has possession
of her own offspring.
