Yew Year's eve Lloyd Montgomery and Harry Pool, at the jail in Albany, blackened and reddened their 'faces, and, with blankets around them, did the Indian act in such a lively manner as to draw a crowd, and Anally had to be stopped by the sheriff. Montgom ery then had just one month in which to live, and was evidently celebrating the fact. Though hilarious, young Montgomery is undoubtedly thinking of the end. Ihere is little doubt, though, that he will die game, says the Albany Democrat. Epworth League Entertainment.

A frightful accident happened at the Deuum building in Portland Mor- day, resulting in" the death of Fiur.k Balcar, a janitor. He was engaged in cloininir the outside of tuo windows leading ijto the court on the fifth floor, when he lost his equilibrium and fell a distance of about 80 feet into Liproan, Wolfe & Co's. store. The poor fellow's coming was her alded by the smashing of skylightglass during his terrible descent, and for a moment or two almost created a panic among tho lady clerks in the estab lishment, who imagined the shivering of glass to be caused by an earthquake When Baker landed on the floor of the store, an exclamation wont up from those nearest the scene, In a second, though, the majority of the small artnv of clerks were near the prostrate form of the unfortunate man. Dr. Andrew C. Smith was close hy when the accident occurred, and he volunteered his services. A super flcial examination of Baker showed no etterior iniurv bevond a cut in the bin, fro ti which tho blood flowed quite profusely a short time. But even the unprofessional evo count detect at i glance that Baker was suffering in onsely. and that his struggle with death would bp a hard one. He never uttered a word during all the time he was lying in the store, and even while being removed to the hos pital. Dr. Smith stated the man had sustained what in all probability would prove a fatal concussion of the brain. Dr. Smith's diagnosis of Eaker's ca9e was a correct one, for he died at 11 o'clock without having regained consciousness. Baker was a young man of very good habits, and well thought of by those knowing him. Ho had been employed in the Dekum building for the past six months, and also lodged there. He was a single man, and a brother-in- 1 iw of Dr. L. M. Davis, of Albina. The body wa3 takon ia charge by Fialey & Rieger. THIS DIMOX ALSO CAME BACK. Indian Imitators of the b'yracasan and rythlas. His Friend. One of these acts of ne,rativa virtue which have lon beo.i regarded as heroic was discovered in Athena by District Attorney Lawrey, who fathers the story of it, which he to'd to tha Pendletou Tribune. i Uniput aud William George, both Indians, .are respectively the Damon ! and Pythias of the narrative. Uniput is not a good red man, he being a little too much iaclinel to gratify a desire for intoxicants. A few- clays ago he( over-indulged in liquor, and was ar rested by Marshal Gillis and put to ! work on the streets for a pariod of ten day?. The second day he was seen by William George, who, iastsad of derid ing him as is the custom of free In dians in such events, sympathized with him. 'Why don't you let him go and got enough money to pay his fine?" asked George of the marshal, turi.ing ab ruptly from his friend. "Can't do it Bill," was the response., William further interposed, but (ind- i lg his plea to be ofvno avail, he tacked about. " Tmph!" he ejaculated; "if you'll let him go I'll work until he comes 'If he doesn't come back, you'll have to serve his Bentoace," said mars'oal. , the i "All right. Iknowhe'll comeback." And George let down his blanket an inch or t.vo, and, taking Uniput's brush, started to work. Uniput walked down the street in a cheerful mood'. 1 He was gone two day?, and the marshal wasenacting the part of Dionysius, and telling William his friend would not return, when sud denly Uniput put in an appearance. He paid his Bae, and William wa3 re leased. Then the pair walked away arm in arm. ; . FBU3I DCFUR. Editor TmES-MousiAlJTEErt: The preliminary examination of Ed. St icy and his father before Justice Brighara on last Monday resulted iu the dismissal of the case ag-ainst tho father and the holding of Ed. to appaar before the grand jury. Dufur and Phelps were out the day and part of the niht in the usual technical man ner, running the case through a full court formula. Justice Brigham is still meditating on some of the nice distinctions the law makes ir. regard to evidence that shall determine if a crime has been committed, or who committed it. The school exhibition came oil in good form to the satisfaction of a large audience, on Saturday evening. Nearly fifty pupils appeared upon the stage, all of whom acquitted themselves cred itably. The music by the Dufur or chestra was such as only lovers of music, after long and careful practice, can give. Attempts at music is no new thing among us. Mr. ' Willard Vanderpool may neglect some things, and now and then rc,is3 a meal, but he never mUses an opportunity to improve in music; and what is further com mendable in him, he seeks to have others to Improve in the samo depart ment. : Many of our young folks -are looking forward to this evening for a rare good time at the masquerade, and no doubt they will not be disappointed, for those having the affair in charge are ac quainted with their duties.
