pay.

IN TWO ROUNDS.
The Pugilistic Contest Last
8a tarda; Night.
For some time past there has been
talk of a fistic encounter between Lary
Maloney.of this place, and a man named
Ray, of Umatilla county, who has been
here selling horses. It was announced
that a wager of $100 a side had been
made for a knock out contest with
gloves, and in consequence the sport
ing fraternity of The Dalles was all
worked up over the event. The fight
took place somewhere down the river
last Saturday night and was said to
have been witnessed by about 125
Dallesltep. The liltle steamer Inland
Flyer was chartered for an excursion,
and about 11 o'clock cut loose from the
dock here and dropped down the river
to the site of the encounter (nobody
will' tell where, whether on the Ore
gon or Washington side.) But that
the boat landed and that there was a
fight is quite certain.
When the battlegrounds were reach
ed a ring was formed, torches were
put up, and the giants came together.
The first round was a spirited one,
both the combatants going at each
other as if for blood, and -when time
was called neither seemed to have
gained any material advantage. In
the second round Ray got the best of
the fight from the start, Maloney get
ting tangled up in some way and went
to the ground after receiving a hard
blow on the jaw. He claimed the time
keeper counted too fast and called ten
before he could get up, and gave the
victory to Ray when he was not en
titled to it. The decision caused a
general rumpus, but there were no
further blows struck, and the fight was
declared over. The result was unsat
isfactory to Maloney and his friends,
but it was in the hands of the referee,
rom whose judgement there was no
appeal. After both sides had cooled
down it is stated the stakes were
divided.

A Car Load of the Finest 8heep Ever
Brought to Oregon.
For many years past the Baldwin
Sheep & Land Co., of Hay Creek, has
had the reputation of breeding as
good sheep as could be found anywhere
in the Northwest, or in fact as could
be found in the United States. Not
satisfied with this the company has de
termined to have the best sheep that
are to be found in the world, and the
recent shipment they have received
proves beyond doubt that they have
accomplished their purpose. J. P. Van
Houten, who has purchased sheep for
the company for many iy ears past, has
just returned with a car load of
animals that for breeding, size, form
and staple have no superiors anywhere.
The shipment consists of 30 rams and
19 ewes, they being Rambolettea, De
laines and Spanish Merinos, and were
selected from the best flocks in Dhio,
Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin.' In
making . the selections - Mr. Van
Houten - visited over 100 flocks of
thoroughbred sheep owned by the best
known breeders in the country, and
took only such animals as he con
sidered perfect, in every respect.
Among the number is a yearling Ram
boulett ram, imported from Germany
this year that weighs over 200 pounds,
and is in every respect a perfect sheep,
being fine form, compact flepce and
hardy constitution, possessing every
feature of a desirable animal for this
country. All of the other animals are
equally meritorious, and many of
them are prize winners at sheep shows
in half a dozen different states.
The Baldwin Sheep & Land Co.
have displayed splendid judgement in
breeding fine sheep in the past, and
much of the excellence of the .flocks of
Eastern Oregon, Washington and
Idaho is due to their efforts, for tbey
have supplied sheep raisers of the
three states with their best blood for
mady years past. But this last ship
ment is something out of the ordi
nary, and is pronounced by all sheep
men who have seen them as being the
best lot of sheep ever brought to the
state. . And certainly they should be
for neither time nor money was spared
in procuring them, and they were
selected by Mr. Van Houten who is
beyond question one of the best in
formed sheep breed eas on the coast.
AN EXCITING STAGE RIDE.
Mlle-a-Mlnate Ride Landed In a Heap
at the Foot of the Grade.
. Lost Saturday while the Canyon-
Burns stage was coming from Burns,
an accident happened, which was
wholly unavoidable. While at the
summit of Trout creek mountain, one
of the horses stumbled and fell. As
he was regaining his feet, the ring in
the bit caught on the pole,causing it to
break and drop from his mouth. The
driyer, "Doc" Cozad, seeing that be
had lost all control of the horses, was
in the act of putting on the brake
when he was thrown from bis seat to
the ground, lighting on his back. Two
gentlemen passengers were inside the
covered coach and undoubtedly ex
perienced a most exciting time, for the
team and coach tore down the moun
tain at a break neck speed for nearly
half a mile and then piled up in a heap
at the foot of the grade. With the
exception of a few bruises, the pas
sengers and driver were uninjured,
which seems almost a miracle, as the
coach turned completely over three
times. Canyon City News.
SUED THE COUNTY.
Henry Gardner Asks For B6SOO Dam
ages. Henry Gardner, through his attor
neys, Moore & uavin, nas begun an
action for damages against Wasco
county for injuries sustained while
traveling on a county road near Fifteen-Mile
creek last winter. In his
complaint he alleges that he was com
ing down a grade on Dec. 21, 1898,
with a loaded wagon, when because
of the bad condition of the road
and the ice that had accumulated
theron, his team was - unable to
hold the wagon; that it went off the
grade, and thereby, he sustained in
juries that will be permanent. He
therefore demands damages in the sum
of $6,500.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Gardner and Mrs. Reese were coming
to The Dalles when the accident oc
curred, and that Mrs. Reese was killed
while Mr. Gardner had an arm broken
and sustained other serious injuries.

A PLEASANT PARTY.
Hallowe'en Social Furnished Amusement
for a targe Crowd.
Baldwin opera house was nonesto
large to accommodate those who at
tended the Hallowe'en social given by
the young ladies of the Congregational
church Monday evening, 1n fact seating
room was taxed to its fullest capacity.
and the large audience with one ac
cord pronounced the entertainment
exceptionally good.
The program began with a vocal
quartet bv Dr. Doane, Professors
Landers andLundelland Mr. Northup,
followed by a rendition by six ladies
in which they : told the sorrowful fate
of a grasshopper sitting on a sweet
potato vine, which was eaten up by a
big turkey gobbler. The applauses
that followed the rendition were loud
and long, but the pent up vociforous
ness of the audience was reserved for
the next number, the "Indian War
Dance," participated in by some 25
ladies and gentlemen, costuned in
the irarb of aborigines. Their make
up was gaudy, though pet-haps not
artistic, still they amused the crowd
and were called back three times be
fore the people would excuse them
from the stags. Another rendition by
Messrs. Doane, Landers, Lundell and
Northup. then Mrs. Eddon told of
Aunt Samantha's experience learning
to skate, a recital that was highly
amusing. When the curtain rose
again, Rev. Poling appeared in the
role of a magician, and. real cleverly
exhibited an invention that equaled
tha mythical "fountain of youth."
Through its assistance he was enabled
to transform an old woman into a
beautiful young lady, another into a
man, and a third into a sweet little
girl, the latter proving to be Sidney
Miller, who appeared on the stage and
gave a violin solo that called forth a
hearty encore. The little miss dis
played marked ability as a violinist,
and for a child of ber age plays very
prettily. The entertainment closed
by Misses Myrtle Michell and Georgia
Sampson singing the Up-to-Date Girl,
which had to be repeated before the
audience was' satisfied.
After the program had been render
ed, the ladies served refreshments in
the dressing rooms back of the stage.

Broke Jail at Prlnevtlle.
This morning District Attorney
Jayne was notified by telephone from
Prlneville by Sheriff Gray that some
time during last night Bird McGooa
gill had .broken jail at that place and
escaped. He was not locked in the
cells, but had been allowed the priv
ilege of remaining in the corridor,
which is enclosed only by brick walls,
and it was an easy matter for him to
dig through the wall and make his
escape.' Sheriff Gray thinks he re
ceived assistance from the outside.
The Crook county jail Is- a brick
structure, provided with two Pauley
cells, and a prisoner confined in one oi
the cells is secure, but when outside
the cells has only a brick wall between
him and liberty.
McGonagill was indicted by the last
Crook county grand jury on a charge
of forgery and was placed under $750
bonds. He was arrested on another
charge of forgery and placed in jail
awaiting the next term of court to be
held next May.

Sickness in the family

when on top of
that it adds un

they went in front, on either side of the
street, striking matches and looking
for the number. There were eight of
them, and their matches would go off
one after the other. It was a regular
naanbeau parade. I was overcome,
'Here it is,' shouted an advance scout.
We approached the house rapidly, and
found eighrt gentlemen, standing before

raised my hat and thanked them for
their efforts. "Nothing at all, they said
politely, and the entire eight raised
their hats and walked into the dark
ness."

A cow belonging to a farmer residing
near Carthage, we regret we cannot
call his name, says the Madison (S. D.)
Leader, strayed on to the Northwest
ern railroad track and was run down
and killed by a train. The farmer de
cided his cow had trespassed on the
company's property and) had received
(her just deserts, so he gave the sec
tion men a dollar to bury her and said
no more about it. The matter was re
ported to headquarters in the regular
course of business and soon afterward
an officer of the company called on the
farmer.
"You had a caw killed on the track
a few days aga, didn't you?" "Yes,
sir," timidly replied the farmer, think
ing he was np against a soulless cor- j
poration in a suit for trespass. "Well,
how did it happen?" "I'm sure I don't
know; the cow got out of the pasture
ana got onto tne track and was killed;
it wasn't my fault; I paid the section
men a dollar to bury her, so the com
pany isn't anything out." "How much
was the cow worth?" "Oh, she waa
just a good fair cow, worth about $25."
The agent departed and the farmer
went on worrying about a trespass suit
that he was sure would be brought
against him. A few days later he re
ceived a letter from headquarters, and
upon opening it with trembling hand
he discovered, not a summons for a
suit in trespass, but a check for $25
for the loss of his cow and an annual
pass over the road, the letter stating
that he was the only man that had
ever had a cow killed on the road- that
did not swear she was registered ,
thoroughbred worth $150.
Bow Citizens Will Have to Proceed Be
fore Yhey Can Vote.
Oregon now has a registration law,
and every voter in the state, before be
ing eligible to exercise his right of
franchise, must register withjtbe clerk
of his county between the first Mon
day in January, and five o'clock p. m.
of the fifteenth day of May, oi each
year in which a general state election
is he'd.
The law provides that every elector
must register, either by appearing in
the office of the county clerk, or by
appearing before a justice of the peace
or notary public, where suitable blanks
being provided, he will register, an
swering the questions as laid down by
the law, and the blank so filled out,
will be forwarded to the county clerk,
and that officer will make the proper
entries in the book kept for that pur
pose. The main record book will be
kept by the county clerk, and elector's
names will be enteredand arranged
according to the precincts in which
each claims residence; a smaller book
will be kept for each precinct, and in
it will be entered the names of the
voters claiming residence therein to
gether with all tacts given by the
electors at the time of registering. The
clerk is required to inquire of the elec
tor and enter the foil wing information
in the general county register in the
division set off for the precinct in
which the elector resides. The regis
tration number of the elector; the date
of registering the elector; the full
name of the elector; the business or
occupation of the elector; the age of
tha elector In years; the country of
nativity; if naturalized the time, place
and court of naturalization or declara
tion as evidenced by the legal proof
thereof, exhibited by the elector; the j
actual and precise place of residence
of the elector at the time of his regis
tering, stating first the precinct and,
if in the country, the section, town
ship and range; and in cities and
towns having streets, by specifying the
name of the town or city, the street or
other location of the dwelling place of
the elector, with the number of such
dwelling, if the same has a number, if
not, then with such description of the
place that it can readily be ascertained
and identified; if the elector be not
the head or proprietor of the house,
then it must show that fact, and upon
what floor thereof, and what room
such elector occupies in such house,
the fact whether or not the elector
desiring to be registered is able to
write his name and mark his ballot
and if he cannot do both then the
nature of such disability must be en
tered. The applicant will sign his
name in the presence of the clerk,
which shall be properly attested. All
of this information is to be copied in
to the precinct register.
A MARYLAND CUSTOM. '
Stertocl by Mlaeb-iavons Tonus? Mesa
Who Crow to Wsm Late
SlttlnT Irftvans. r-.i'-
"The cry of 'cock-a-doodle-doo, in
Imitation of the crowing rooster," says
tin observant resident of Maryland,
"has been put to good use in my section
of the state. Some months ago a party
of young people came to the conclusion
ithat it would be well to give courting
couples a hint that the hour was grow
ing late by crowing as they passed
houses in which lights in the parlor
indicated that sweet things were being
eaid. At first the crowing was not in
dulged in until 11 o'clock arrived, bnt
during the - winter evenings, when
mights were long, the hour was antici
pated, and recently belles and beaux
who feared to be crowed at have closed
their sessions by ten o'clock. The boys,
however, have not ceased to crow, and
many as they drive along the roads
snake a practice of crowing if they
eee a light in a house after nine o'clock.
The chickens themselves have been ed
ucated by this practice, and the cocks,
.which heretofore have remained quiet
till after midnight, now commence
crowing at any hour after nightfall if
they hear a horse trotting along the
road. So well understood is the hint
conveyed by a young man crowing
that spoony couples will sober down, at
the least indication that a crower is
about.

The opera begins in Dresden at seven
o'clock and closes at ten, writes Lilian
Bell from Berlin to the Ladies' Home
Journal. The best seats are absurdly
cheap, and whole families, whole
schools, whole communities, I should
say, go there together. Coming straight
from Paris, from the theatrical, viva
cious, enthusiastic French audiences,
this first German audience seemed seri
ous, thoughtful, appreciative, but un
enthusiastic. They use more judgment
about applause than the French. They
never interrupt a scene, or even a mu
sical phrase, with misplaced applause.
Their appreciation is slow, but hearty,
and always worthily disposed. The
French are given to exaggerating an
emotion and to applauding an eccen
tricity. Even their subtlety is over
done. The German drama is cleaner,
the family tie is made much of, sent!
ment is encouraged instead of being
ridiculed as it too often is in America,
but the German point of view of Amer-
cans is quite as much distorted as the
French. That statement is severe but
true. It would be utterly impossible
for the American girl to be more ex
quisitely misunderstood than by
French, and German men.

' The longevity of the buzzard was be
ing discussed by a party of men at the
hotel here one day, says the Nashville
Banner, when "Uncle" Charlie Smith,
aged 94 years, declared that the average
life of this fowl is 100 years. Four
males north of Dickson, in a lonely for
est, stands an old hollow oak with an
entrance at the root. In this "Uncle"
Charlie declares that 75 years 3 go, on
the 27th of this coming May, he found,
while hunting game, a nest of young
buzzards, two in all. The mother bird.
which could be distinguished by a
white feather in her right wing, made
great protest against "Uncle" Charlie's
intrusion, and he left- the brood un
molested. Ever since the same buzzard
has reared her brood 01 two fleecy gos
lings m tins secluded spot, and no one
knows how long she had occupied the
place before "Uncle Charlie found her.
The young birds, until they are six
weeks old, are white and bear a strong
resemblance to a gosling. They are
very timid and on the approach of an
enemy they always bide their heads
and leave their bodies exposed. Their
abode is very foul, and in these 7.5 years
no animal has ever been known to dis
turb the nest, nor has a gosling ever
been known to die.

What is called the "white train" left
Paris the other afternoon from the

numbers of cripples and invalids 01 a
pilgrimage to Lourdes, where they
hope to bp cured of their ailments
through tha miraculous agency of th-:

an animated appearance all 'tfee after

These pilgrims, 300 in number, wers

A daily observation of that part of
the community that from either pover
ty or weakness gives employment to the
criminal courts, furnishes opportuni
ties for the study of humanity that few
can enjoy, says the Louisville Commer
cial. These people usually have very
limited education, many of them have
none; yet the natural shrewdness of
the race, sharpened by experience and
by suffering, develops some extremely
keen minds. What they learn, they
learn "by ear," as it were; wherefrom
some very amusing occurrences arise.
A lawyer, who is a close observer,
said: "Some time ago I talked with a
French negro from New Orleans, whe
was a prisoner in the county jail. This
was when the police were charging
persons who were arrested on sus
picion, as 'suspected felons.' He was tc
be presented in the circuit court fox
indictment. ' I said: 'What are you in
jail for?' He answered: 'They say 1
am a "respected fellow!" ' 'Well, when
do you get a trial?' 'I don't know, h
said, 'I go to the circus court to-morrow!'"
Wonder what the grave judges would
think of that?

Men, as a rule, do not desire to pre
sent handsome souvenirs to women who
have been gracious to them, but women
who intend to obtain certain things do
not hesitate to maneuver, says the New
York Press. An instance of this kind
occurred recently, and in this way:
Having accepted an invitation for a
matinee, a charming girl found upon ar
riving at tha theater that she had no
fan. The air, to her, being intolerably
stuffy, she insisted upon going to a shop
near by to get one. She was accojear
panied by a man of the party, and after
choosing a fan she had decided upon
days before excuses followed about pay
ing for IU What could the poor man
do? Pe paid for the fan and swore at
hunaelf for being trapped. Within the
next month this same charmingly in
nocent maiden obtained a handsome
smelling bottle in the same way. Put
later on the two men discussed1 this af
fair over B. and S. at their dubs. They
have ceased their visits at the fconae of
the young woman, bnt she goes on col
lecting from other men friends in the
same ingenious way.
Jnst why girls prefer this Way of ac
cumulating small luxuries is not quite
.(dear, because those who follow this

bought for them in their own families,
the same art&cfc they take from men.
