1 THE OREGON SCOUT. AMOS K. JONES, KDlTOIt The Oregon Scout has as large a circu lation an any three, papers in this sec tion of the State, combined, and is cor respondingly valuable as an advertising medium. Saturday, Sept. 10th., 1887. Union and Vicinity. (ircat inducement in this county for men of pluck. The Circuit court docket will be about as full as usual. Born. To the wifo of George W. BenKon, Sopt. (1th, a foil Hurrah! for our mines. Union Co. is the best in Eastern Oregon to make a home in. Monday night Prof. Aulguirc will de liver a lecture to children. All parents should attend. Subscribe for Thk Ohkook Scot'T, the brightest, newsiest and best paper published in EaHtern Oregon. Union county has superior advanta ges over any other in Eastern Oregon for capitalist to invest their money in. Jaine.i Welch, Ed. and Harry Hughes of North Powder, were bound over be fore Conl. Baldwin last Saturday, for cutting timber on government land. Samuel V. Putnam, the liberal lect urer met with great success in Baker City, and organized a Union there which starts ofT, with a membership of eevunty-six. New seats have been placed in St. John's Episcopal church. They arc very nicoly made and comfortable, ad ding much to the appearance of the interior of the church. The County court which is now in seesioi appropriated .$1000. for a bridge at Fay's crossing of the Grande Rondo river, and $400. for the iuiprove- mcnt of Wallowa hill. Thoe elegant cloaks, jackets and gossamers received at Jo. Wright's this week, are "going like hot cakes." Call and get one before they arc all gone. He is selling them very cheap. County court has been in cession this week but we were unable to ob tain the proceedings for this week's is sue. There is a large amount of busi ness to attend to and keeps the board busy to keep on top. Charles Soules was brought before U. S. Commissioner Critcs, by Deputy Marshal Frush, charged with cutting timber on government land and bound over in $250 to appear before the U. S. Circuit court at Portland. Last week the Gold Ridge mine, Hid den Treasure, Silver Queen, Golden Star and Maiden's Prayer mines were bonded by their owners; Jno. B. Irvin and William Lewis, to .1. G Lewis, of Little Rock, Arkansas, for $00,000 till Jan 1st. 1838. Chas Ncwland bought a Winchester repeating shot gun at the Cove drug store this week. After a thorough trial it was found to shoot fine and buck-shot, very close and hard, two cartridges per. second. Price, paid, eix-skot, 12-guagc, 25.00. The tax-payers of this county will find it to their advantage to read the notice of the meeting of the Board of Equalization, published in this issue. Read, and if you have any business with that body, attend to it while it is in session or forever after hold your peace. William Wilson received, this week, A very fine billiard table, mado by the E. Brunswick Manufacturing Co. San Francisco, Cal. Besides having all the latest and best appliances and fixtures, "Billy" always carries in stock an extra quality of cigars, liquors and fine wines. Clins. F. Miller, this week, swore out a warrant for thw arrest of his brother-in-law, Jas. N. Mitchell, of Antelope, charging him with assault with a deadly weapon. The arrest was made yester day afternoon by constable Cates, but hearing had not bejm had when we went to press. Jaycox tt Foster havo a fino assort ment of every thing in the lino of general merchandise. A iino assort ment of gents and boys' clothing, li -dies' cloaks etc. This is one the enter prising firms in the county and are rushed with business. Give them a call and see their goods, for they are selling very cheap. All who are in love, but not loved in return, veteran maidens and bachelors; all who are married but would like a divorce, hen pecking wives and abu sive husbands, grass widows, and wid owers; all who have made marriage a failure and all who would like to make it a success, should attend Prof. Aul guirc'a phrenological lecture upon "Ive, Courtship and Marriage." "To say that the citizens of La Grande were thrown into a fever of ex citement is but a feeble expression of the real situation," is the way the Journal says the news of the killing of the bully Caldwell, was received there. If this scribbler is to be believed the people of that burg are very excitable, and wc fear that the advent of the bill poster of Barretts circus who "arrove" there this week, has thrown some of them into fits. Trof. Aulguirc's lecture on Fhrcnol ogy Wednesday night, and the ono on physiognomy Thursday night, were very entertaining. They were certainly of a higher order than some wo have list ened to upon the same subjects. His cranial and facial delineation were very good. Tho Prof, seems a gentle man in every respect. To night his lecture is on "Love courtship and mar riage." Monday night he will lecturo to tho children on Education etc. All 'lw)uld go and bear him. ETCHINGS. Or IuiprrsMn Mni!i mi tho "Scout" by r.-iftttiij; i:intH UxsnuwssAM.K Gam.. The Baker City Daily Democrat, of the Sth inst., in an arjicle speaking of a road from that place to Sanger, says: "Notice has been received that tho P. O. De partment at Washington will soon es tablish a tri-weekly mail service into Cornucopia, hut from which point Baker City or Union is not known; that already Union has a load loading via Sanger to Cornucopia, but the peo ple of that section favor Baker City and not the Union route." Is that so, Mr. Democrat? If so, why did the people at Sanger sign the petition for the mail service on the direct under standing that it should be over tho route fjoin Union to Cornucopia and it was unanimnusly signed by all the people of that, distiict, not only that, hut the department at Washington have established postollices at Saucer. Big Creek at Dutih un Wright's hall, and one at the Park will be cstablisneu probably in a few days. This does not sound much like getting the service established from Baker City. Gentle men who come in from that section are decidedly in favor of the Union route and so petitioned. The Union people spent time and bore the ex pense of these petitions with tho will ing aid of everyone along the route, and we have more faith in the P. O. department at. tho Capitol than to think for a moment that it would practice such an imposition on these petitioners. Uncam.ud Eon. The Coroner's in quest held on the body of Win. Cald well at La Grande was entirely un called for and certainly without any authority of law. If a person -is found dead, it is unquestionably the duty of the coroner, or some peace oiHecr act ing in his stead, to hold an inquest to ascertain if possible, how or by what means he came to his death. What light can an inquest, throw upon the death of a person who is shot down before witnesses, and when the party who did the killing says he killed that person? The only object one can have is either to gain absurd notoriety or to replenish his pocket, with an an ticipated fee. "Cold Bi.ooii:n." Some of the prints in speaking of the killing of William Caldwell,' alias "Curly Bill," by Thomas Lemons at Ladd canyon, a short time ago, call it "cold blooded murder." We think that nothing was brought out in the examination of Lemon before the trying Justice to warrant such a statement from any paper in the county or elsewhere. It certainly is not the province of any journal to pronounce a verdict upon a prisoner before the party has li.nl an impartial trial before a piopcr court nt justice. It is our opinion that there are sosie very mitigating circum stances connected with the killing. A Gkand PmjKxoi.onioAi, Wunni.vo. To-night, Prof Aulguirc will deliver his great lecture upon, "Love, Court ship and Marriage." lie does away with the old adage that "true love never runs smooth" and he also tells how to he on good terms with your mother-in-law. After the lecture the Prof, will select ten ladies and ten gentlemen who are mutually adapted to marry, and mate them phrenologic ally. All should attend this unique wedding. Admission 25 ets. Jailud ion Laiickny. Deputy Sheritl' Harper arrested Sylvanus El ertson, of Haines precinct, yesterday, and lodged him in the hotel do llin shaw on a charge of larceny. Elertson is accused with breaking open two trunks, tho property of another, and taking therefrom the contents, lie is said to havo a pard in this transaction who in all brobability will toon be placed behind grates for safo keeping along with Elertson. Baker Democrat. Statu Faih. The State Fair, for this fall promises to be a good one, and no doubt will be well attended. The exhibits promise to he a larger ono and of better quality than in former years, as the people especially of the Willam ette valley have become more deeply interested in its success as a State fair ever before. Eastern Orogon will bo well represented in almost every de partment. We hope it will ho conduc ted on a better plan than has been usual in former years. SntrcK iiy LiHT.viN(i. Lightning struck Charles M. Lee, a cow-boy, ami also his horse and killed them both, near Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, tho other day. The stroke broke the horn of the saddle, exploded all the catridges in his belt and set fire to tho leather of tho saddle, picket rope, blankets, tear ing his hat, boots and shirt to pieces, and tho fire consumed tho flesh of his left leg from tho knee to tho ankle. If wo arc not mistaken Jo-Jo will turn out to bo McComas, formerly of tho Mountain Sentinel, published in Grande Rondo valley. Walla Walla Union. Correct you are. Tho E. O. man failed to recognizo his old friend until tho Union called his attention to Jo-Jo. E. O. Their photographs nro not unlike. Baker Democrat: Tho Czar's Jo-Jo and McComas are probab ly distant relatives. Evolutionary re semblance is strikingly remarkable. We don't think it actually McComas himself, for E. S. is now engaged in sellius: tho Medical Lake Salts, and when last heard from had entered into a copartnership with the Dioty to push tho business. No it isn't our old friend E.

Tho pen picture of "Sun set on Lake Wallowa," "The Author" js too good to be real. Such a display of pen ora tory, reads much like the "wonderful resources of Oregon," published in one of the discriptivo pamphlets, of a Port land real estate agent. It is certainly very fine, hut who ever saw such com parisons, except vivid iininaginations. Why buy from imigrating agentw of whom you know nothing, eitherof their responsibility or the charecter of their goods, when there are responsible deal ers located near you, who carry full and complete linos of all farm and mill machinery and implements, and whoso success it is for your best interests to support with yoar patronage?

The case of Strddo and Thuinian, charged with the murder of a shesp herdor last spring on Succor creek, Malheur county, and for which they are now held without bonds to await tho action of the next grand jury of that county, for murder in tho first degree, is one that has created wide spread interest throughout this entire section. Bitter feeling exists, and tho issue, as between cattle owners and sheep-men, is one of the primary causes. Democrat. Mr. Neville of Sandridge, was in town the first part of tho week in the interest of his famous road case. His opponent, ltuckmau, was also in for tho purpoao of opposing it, tho road case has been in tho courts for about three years, and during this time has been through tho courts from tho county court to the Supremo court of tho state where it was remanded back to tho county court, and now it starts oil' on an other pcrilious voyage. Wc trust it can be scttlod to tho satisfaction of all concerned.
