Baker Democrat: Last Saturday morn
O. M. Pricbard, while driving a two
horse team and wagon loaded with wood
and descending a steep .pitch on Wash
ington gulch, came near being killed.
The brake gave way, allowing the wagon
to run upon the horses causing them to
run, when finally the wagon turned over,
throwing Mr. Prichard to the ground and
a part of the wood on top of him. His
head and face were badly cut and be was
injured about the body. Mr. Prichard
came to town Monday and had bis
wounds dressed by a physician. ,
The complimentary terms in which we
spoke ot the wood work in Mr. Andrew
to tbe neat job of painting done by Mr.
Paul Kreft. He never does anvthiug that
is not first-class and always displays an
artist's taste and ability in tne harmony of
colors. The counters and shelves are
painted a spotless white, with the exception
of tbe native wood on - tbe former, and a
modt beautiful ornamentation of gilding
around the cornices. For neatness and
beauty the conception may be considered
perfect, and one can readily aee the com
pleteness of the work.
One of the most important cases decided
by tbe supreme court lately waa the long
contested state agricultural college case.
Its title was Joseph Liggett, et ai respond
ents, vs. W. S. Ladd, et al appellants, an
appeal from Benton county. Judgment
was reversed and tbe claim dismissed. The
suit involves the state agricultural college
at Corvallis, and the decision of the supreme
court is tbat the deed from the trustees of
the Corvallis college ot the M. E. church,
sontb, to the board of regents of the state
agricultural college was one which tbe col
lege ought in equity and good conscience
to have made under its contract with the
state, and having done what it ought to do
tbe college baa no cause to complain.
An attempt was made about 2 o'clock
Sauday morning to burn Small's stable,
says tbe Walla Walla Union-Journal. The
nigbt watchman was busy e caning haroets
in tbe front part of the stable, when be
noticed tbat the-, barn was filling up with
smoke. He went to the rear end of the
barn, where he discovered that one of the
mangers was afire, and the flames were
slowly creeping np the inside of a hay spout
extending from the loft above. He pro
cured several buckets of water and fortu
nately extinqniabed tbe fire before it bad
gained much headway. It was evidently
the work of an incenciary, as there had
been no one except the watchman about the
stable since midnignt. The back door to
the born was opened, and it is thought the
firebug gained admittance through it..
J. W. Coltingham, who lives west of
Union street, was . arrested yesterday for
brandishing a loaded revolver in a threat
ening manner. He was going home, as
we understand, in an intoxicated condi
tion, when some bacon which he was car
rying fell into the dirt, and the children
of the public school began to make sport
of him. This angered him very much,
and he pulled out a revolver and used
threatening language. He put his bacon
in the house and stood sentinel over the
passage of Union street. Some citizens
en route to their homes gave him tbe
whole roadway and tread themselves the
by-path of an alley. Marshal Maloney
ascertained tbe condition of matters, and
seeing an opportanity disarmed Cotting
ham and placed him under arrest.

lynx ; Tbe boy, not knowing tbe danger,
took aim at the animal's head and fired.
Luckily it was a good shot and the lynx
came tumbling from the tree, having been
shot through the brain. Had the animal
only been wounded it would no doubt have
tackled the boy, and . serious results might
have followed. The lynx was three feet

"." Albany Herald: A tramp barnessmaker,
a young man who bas been working for A.
L. Hunter in this city, came to Albany in a
remarkable way. .. He was in Chicago a few
weeks ago, snd saw in the car shops tbe

way line. It ,was then about to be shipped
to this city. He procured a pair of blan
kets and a quantity of provisions, and con
cealing himself in the water tank of the

inconvenience in making the long journey.

penses, field equipments and other general
and necessary expenses for assembling 90,
000 state troops and 10,000 national troops
in an encampment at Chicago from 5 to 20,

tion of the committee would be of inestima
ble value to it, to the army and to the
country at large, as one of the steps toward
improving tbe military system, and would
also show with wbat celerity the govern
ment could assemble an army in case of

Hon. Jha II. Mitchell Addresses m
tmrtce and Enthusiastic Andlenee
at tne Court House, Followed by
Hon. W. H. Ellis.
From Thursday's Dally.
At the appointed hour last evening there
was a large and enthusiastic audience at
tbe court house, to listen to the speeches of
Senator Mitchell and Congressman Ellis,
every seat being occupied aud very many
standing. .
Mr. B. S. Huntington introduced the
senator in a few appropriate remarks, and
Mr. Mitchell's appearance was greeted with
the Usual enthusiasm. His voice waa hoarse
from speeking in the open air, and he ap
peared fatigued, having spoken in seyeral
cities in Eastern Oregon. But notwith
standing these disadvantages be held the
attention of the audience for over an hour
and a half.
On the tariff Mr. Mitchell was exhaus
tive, and trom historical facts proved that
protection has always been a national bless
ing and free-trade a national curse. In this
part of his speech he reviewed the different
industrial polioies pursued by the United
States from 1816 to 1861, and his arguments
based on them were incontrovertible.
His arguments were very convincing on
the national banking system, and against
the repeal of the 10 per cent tax. The
money now in circulation is the best that
the c nntry ever enjoyed, and a dollar
stands for its par value in every state and
territory jf the union. He spoke of the
wild-cat currency which rendered business
transactions unsafe np to the adoption of
the present system, and said the Democratic-
platform, if adopted, would place the
county again under the wild-cat breaking
plan ot the 40 s.
In speaking of the resignation of Col.
Miller and the substitution of Pierce, he
read several extracts from the speeches of
General Weaver, in which he spoke of the
Democratic party in ery uncomplimentary
terms; in fact, in language that would make
a bitter pill for Democrats, who supported
him, to swallow.
In closing he congratulated the people
upon the prospects of an early completion
of tbe locks at tbe Cascade, and the com
mencement soon of the boat railway above
this point. He had seen at one point in
Umatilla county a quarter of a million
bushels of wheat in one pile awaiting ship
ment, and this emphasized the importance
of an open river to tbe people of the Inland
Empire.
At the close of Mr. Mitchell's speech Mr..
Eiiis was loudly called for, and took tbe
platform amidst the greatest applause. He
stated that the speech of the senator had
clearly stated the issues of the campaign,
and he did not wish to reiterate what had
already been well said. For about fifteen
inntes, Mr. Ellis claimed the attention of
the - people in a neat, effective and well
deliv red speech. The facetious anecdotes
he related kept t he people in excellent good
bnmor, and won him many rounds of ap
plause. He bas a fine presence, clear and
distinct enunciation, and is argumentative
and humorous in speaking. At the close,
exerybody seemed happy, and a more har
monious, enthnsiastio meeting bas not been
held at The Dalles during this campaign.

Several days ago some Indians made
complaint 10 the authorities that their
horses were being stolen in the neighbor
hood of the Deschutes. While one of
them was talking with Wesley Rice he
recognized one of his fiorses ridden by
boy named John Chapman. On being
questioned about the ownership of the
animal Chapman said he had purchased
the horse from Indian Peter at Sherar's
Bridge for f 10, and was willing to give
him up to the rightful owner and he
would get his money from Peter. This
very plausible story induced the officers
to let the boy go, as he appeared to be
honest in the matter. Two or three days
afterwards young Chapman decamped,
and Peter denied having so'd the horse to
any one. Last Saturday Chapman was
located in East Portland, and Sunday
morning he was arrested there by Deputy
Sheriff Phirman and brought to the city
and lodged in jail. Aside from the story
of buying the horse from Peter, Chapman
told another one that the Indians on the
Deschutes had given him the privilege of
taking any animal on the range he de
sired. His examination will take place
this afternoon before Justice Schutz.

' A peculiar accident occurred a few days
ago wnicty tbe parties immediately con
cerned will not soon forget, says the La
Grande Chronicle. It was nil on account
of a silver dollar wbich was at that time,
and ia now, in the possession of Kichard
Kelly. A number of friends were trying
to gain possession of the coin, and in tbe
scuffle wbich ensued Mr. Kelly thrust the
money into his mouth and immediately
afterward to make assurance doubly
sure, perhaps swallowed it. It lodged
in his throat and for awhile Mr. Kelly'fc
chance of life looked yery slim. How
ever, a physician was immediately sum
moned, and by the aid of dry wheat bread
the obstruction was slowly worked down
his throat. Mr. Kelly feels.no bad effects
at present from this strange addition
the contents ot his stomach,
abilities are the acids of the system will
in time dissolve the metal.

about starting for town asked tbe boys

, Absconding Lawyer Brought Baoi.
A Telea-ram, Oct. 27. ,
Detective Holsapple left for Tbe Dalles
last evening for tbe purpose of bringing J
W. Lucas, the absconding lawyer, back to
this city. Tbe police at first were afraid
thatLucaa bad given them the slip for good,
but dispatches travel faster than trains,and
consequently the attorney was overhauled
at The Dalles yesWday afternoon and
placed under arrest. , Lucas' downfall has
been a great and rapid oue. In San Diego
he was until recently one of tbe leading le
gal praotitioners. having at one time occu
pied one of the higher court benches. IJa
amassed cousiaeraoie property and was
prospering finely when it is said he discov
ered his wife had been noftithful to him,
and he took to hard drink, which eventually
led him into much trouble. He came north
to Portland with the evident intention of
leading a new life, but the demon drink
still held him in bondage, Lad in a few
weeks he was arrested for forgery. By
making restitution of the amount obtained,
the charge was - dropped. The pre-ent
charge of obtaining $300 by false pretenses
will not be so easy to square, however.
Through being imposed upon. Assistant
District Attorney Lafferty is taking a deep
interest in the case,and will push the charge
against Lucas. Detective Holsapple re
turned this morning with Lucas. In the
police court this afternoon be waived ar
raignment; the case was set for to-morrow.
There is an excellent probability that the
wild excitement of 1892 will be partially
repeated next spring in tbe vicinity of
Mitchell, Crook coubty. Wm. Bethnne
has recently made discoveries on bis farm,
the McGraw patent, purchased by him of
L N. Sargent, which show the county to be
rich in ledges that resembles the famous
Comstock lode in Virginia eity. ' Mr,
Bethune has owned this place for several
years, and becoming tired ot hauling water
to bis house every dry season, last summer
oommenced digeiug in a moist place on tne
side hill in the hope of striking a vein of I 171 Second Street,

Threats Against Indians.
In prominent papers of Eastern' Oregon
tbere now appears an advertisement offering
a reward for information leading to the re
turn of little Alina Miller, aged 6 years,
who disappeared from her home near Sum
merville. Union county, on September 20th
last. L W. Miller, tbe father, has been in
cessant in his search for the little one since
tbat date, and on (Sunday evening arrived
in Weston. To a Weston Leader reporter
Mr. Miller related the eirenmstances of his
little daughter's snddeu disappearance. She
went ont of the house to play during the
early afternoon and has not been seen since.
No tracks or trace was left by wbich to ob
tain a clue, although several hundred citi
zens immediately organised and thoroughly
searohed the surrounding timbered country.
It is the opinion of Mr. Miller tb it the In
dians captured the girl through either re
venge of imagined injuries by whites or for
other purposes. It is stated that if this
opinion prevails over m Grand Ronde val
ley, and there is sufficient proof to establish
the fact, every Indian on the reservation
will be done away with by the determined
citizens, who claim tbat tbe red men have
already committed sufficient depredations
by killing sheep and running off stock to
make an excuse for their eztermi nation.
