Saturday, and held in the sum of S2,
i nnn i.
inu 1 1 iini-, it iH'cms inai a
little girl named YVhitiomr overheard
a conversation between Bradley and
another man, in which he said" "We
luid Lexington low, and next will lay
out lleppner," etc. It was through
this that the man was apprehended.
Mrs. Bradley, wife of one of the in
cendiaries, turned State's evidence,
and shvo the following account:
"The crime was committed by Cannon
and Bradley, with n knowledge of her
self. They made a roll of cotton and
saturated it with coal oil. This was
put through a knot hole, into the hay,
apd a string used as a fuse, being
lighted from the out-ido. Cannon was
arrested Fiiday night and is in the
Hi ppner jail. The woman gave tho
thing away in the hope that she would
save her husband. Bradley is a car
penter who lives in Iexington, anil has
the reputation of being a bad man.
ltisieported that since his trial he
has confessed the crime, and accused
two other mui of being his accom
plices. .Several cf these parties have
skipped out, as has alto Bradley's wife.
Bradley, it is taid, made the statement
that he would not go the penitentiary
alone. The suspected incendiary
barly etcaped bavins his neck
stretched. The people of that commu
nity are greatly arouted over the atlair.
Hanging is altogether too good for

Defictivh Law. It linn been dis
cover d ihat the stock law passed by
the late legislature is defective in
some particulars, says the .Salem
Slulemnait. The law provides that
when any stock is ascertained by an
inspector to bo alllicted by some in
fectious or contagious disease, it shall
be his duty to place them in iptarau
tine, and then to notify the governor
or other stale jstock officer of such
quaiantine. Gov. Pennoyer has re
ceived several such notifications, with
requests for instructions as to what to
do furthur. The law, however, is
wanting in instructions as to what
shall be the governor's duty in the
premises, and has left him without,
any power in the matter whatever.
In the absence of nnv explicit direct
ion, stock inspectors will lie compelled
to assume all responsibility of the dis
position of diseased stock. There is
no doubt that, though the law is want-
inj
in this respect, they would bo
sustained in so doing.
The Nkw Staoi: Link. Tho Cornu
copia stage goes out and comes in
loaded each trio. People in Cornu-
conia desiring to go to Baker citv. find
it more convenient and
more convenient and cheaper to
come down to Union in one day over
a pleasant road, and tul;n the train
from here to Buker, than going on tho
Bftkt'i stage direct, tho route of which
is over barren alkali plains, and two
days travel. That the Cornucopia
jxioplo who desire to go to Baker, will
go via Union is evidenced by the large
number who have already done so.

CIRCUS DAY IN PENDLETON.
list hamruay was circus oay in
Pendleton, and it was u day to bo re
membered forevei by the "hiickers,"
who were "taken in." Tho parade was
witnessed by about one thousand peo
ple, and was a rather tamo atlair. The
performances in tho afternoon and ev
ening were fairly attended. All kinds
of "'rackets" were worked, and people
ere robbed right and left. Many lost
a lew dollars, and some lost as high as
fifty to oigty dollars. Some were
robbed outright, while others suffered
systeniaticallly. "Jo-Jo" was tho fea
ture of the show, and ho wafi not much
of a feature. Tho menagorio was fair;
above tho average exhibit of wild ani
mals accompanying circuses. After
the performances ninny f.hhcuH lost
tho contents of their henneries. Mrs.
Terrill was tho heaviest loaor, having
had stolen "thirty-six chickensand two
fat ducks." A bed was also stolen
from tho Bowman house. Other rob
beries were committed, and, altogether,
the gang of thieves in league with Bar
rett's circus, did a prosperous ouo
day's business in Pendleton.- 13. O.
We are informed that about tho 3ani6
things occurred nt La Grande, and
thai the gamblers found an unusual
number of "suckers" there, from whom
they gathered in sovoral thousand dol
lurs. The people wi re fully warned of
this beforehand, and the only convolu
tion wo can givo them is, tljnt "fools
and their money iiu- toon parted."
