The election passed off very quietly
Monday, and as far as we know the
pleasantcst of feeling prevailed between
both parties. Both sides did good
work, but the republicans got in their
work where it stuck closer than a bro
ther. The life-giving properties of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla have established its well
earned, 'reputation, and made it the
most effectual and popular blood puri

There was a glorious ratification in

Pylo and Hum murder case, .at Walla

passing each other at any place along

At Huntington, last Priday evening,
Mr.. W. F. Locke met her untimely
death. While driving in the lower
part of town near the U. P. round
house, with single bora? attached to a
dog cart, a dog ran after the convey
ance ami it id said bit the horse's heel.
With Mrs. locke was a little bow
The horse became frightened and !
starting to run had gone but a short
distance when tho boy was thrown ,
from the cart, without sustaining seri-
our injury. But, unfortunately, when
Airs. ),. wits unhealed lmlli her feet
were securely fastened in the spring of
the vehicle, her body falling beneath
the cart and dragging upon the
ground. The horse ran up through
the main stieet of the town, thence
along the rough hillsides and across
several deep ravines, when he ran
down into the Hat and was stopped.
To those who reached the scene first,
the sight was truly heart rending and
beggars description. Suffice it to say,
however, that t..e lady was drawing
her last.. breath. Her" clothing was
drawn close up about her neck; her
feet still firmly clutched by the steel
spring which had relentlessly held her
during her frightful one mile's ride to
a terrible and indescribable death.
THE SANGER MINUS.
One of the stockholders of the C. F.
Bradley Mining company, of Sanger,
Union . county, recently stated to a
Democrat reporter that they have "un
covered ore that will range from if lO to
$100 per ton, tiie vein being drifted
uion and exposed to view 130 feet.
In prospecting some supposed worth
less stopping ground a body of ore of
live feet thickness has been uncovered,
assaying from $100 to$l,000 per ton.
Thelower level shows the largest vein
of ore and is of so high a grade that
the manager will not put it through
the mill until after the concentrators
arc set up, which are expected to arrive
daily. The C. P. Bradley mino which
was'nurchased for a little over $10,000
is worth to-day $500,000, and the own
ers know tho value of it and will work
it themselves as they are wealthy and
consider it simply a fortunate purchase
and investment of a little surplus cash
with which they intend making a fund
for other mining ventures; and the
outlook is favorable for the fund to be
colossal from the amount of high
grade oie now in sight in the C. F.
Bradley mine of Sanger."
CHOPS SAVED.

The rains of the past eight days
have had an enlivening eil'ect upon
the spirits of our farmers as well no
life giving energies to our growing
crops. While crops in this county
have not materially suffered for want
of rain, yet it came just in tho nick of
time, and now good crops are assured,
and our fanners arc now more than
pleased with the outlook. Had the
hot weather continued to this date,
with the unusual dryne.-s of the soil,
crops would have been almost a total
failure, and the outlook of farmers to
get through the year without great
loss would have been dreary indeed.
Although grain and vegetables are not
as forward as usual at this time of the
year, yet we predict an abundant sup
ply of everything. Fruit will not bo
so" plentiful as usual, but enough per
haps to supply tho homo demands.
Trulv we have a good climate and one
that 'has never failed to nu-le out jus
tice to us in every instance.
SHOOTING AT CORNUCOPIA.
J. H. Hooker, a saloon keeper of
Cornucopia, was killed last Saturday
evening, in a drunken row, by a man
named Kelly. The facts as gathered
are about as follows: Kelly, Hooker

DECLARED OFF.
It is with feelings of no little regret
that wo announce in to-day's Democrat
by order of the board of managers of
tho Baker City race track, that all
races announced by them to take
place in July and October, or at any
other time, are hereby recalled and
nothing further will be done by them
to promoto the interests of racing for
tho present. Tho reason for their de
cided action in this matter is briefly
stated. 'They have canvassed tho city
to see what interest tho peoplo havo in
tho proposed races, and havo rccoived
only Hat refusals of assistanco from
thoso whom thoy had reason to expect
encouragement. As the gentlemen
composing the board of managers are
not Vanderbilt's or Jay Gould's, they
cannot afl'ord to hang purses from
their own pockets, simply from a phil
anthropic standpoint. 'They have al
ready been to a great expense repair
ing the grounds and putting tho track
in good condition, not to speak of
their expenses, and they feel that they
have done their part. Now thoy havo
como to the conclusion that if tho peo
plo do not want races, that settles it.
And, by the way, tho races announced
for to-day will not tako place. Baker
City Democrat.
