Mr. Chas. Fisher, who it will be remem
bered was catcher iu tho La Grande base
ball club last summer, was recently so
severely injured iu a wreck on the U. P. as

just above the knee, necessary. He bus
many friends among the fair sex in this

tuue. Circuit court will convene next Monday
morning at 10 o'clock with Judge Fco in the
chair. The docket will be a fair sized one,
containing about seventy-live cases, some
of which are very important. There are
but three criminal cases ready for trial,
but as several persons have been bound
over to appear before the grand jury, there
will be more.

of the parties. John lUocklaud, Oliver Sha-

lay the commencing of work on the road
by the first of March. The fourth, how- j
ever, Hutchinson llros., are very olMinate
and itublwrn. The land asked for is a
hundred foot strip along the extreme west
side of thoir land adjoining North 'Union,
and the only damage that thev ontt possi
bly incur is the destruction of a few old,
worn out apple trees, the remain of an
orchard that thilved n quarter (if a rcntury
ago, but now boar no fruit. Otherwise
they are bound to be lvenetittcdund their
tlniUMinds of acres in this vallev will imme
diatelyiHcreasc in value from 36 to ft) per
cent. Men who hare sense eno:gh to ac
ctimulnie the amount of wealth that they
have, certainly have senso enough to know
this fact, and the only rea-on that wo can
see for their acting so is their downright
eusseditess, which is cropping out more on
this occasion than on any former one. The
committee offered them a reasonable com
pensation for the land sought to be used,
but they positively refuse to accept any
ollVr within reason, hence the suit. A
man who looks upon a cent as though it
were a dollar, is certainly a drone in a
pulio spirited community, and our enter-pri-iugeiti.ens
are growinir disgusted witli
their actions in this particular matter, to
say the least. There is strong talk of
burning (these gentlemen in eil;gy, but we
do not .approve of such an action, as the
true meaning of it would nut be compre
hended b' them and nothing would be
gained. We are sure of one thing and that
i, that 'lioy will be on hand v3th stock,
hay, grain, etc. ready to sell the same at
the highest market price in the market
created by tho incoming of the Hunt road.
The committee is having good success with
the otherSMtzens along the line, hr.ving al
ready secured a large number of deeds, and
the work will be completed and everything
in readiness when the time to commence
work arrives
HE IS CERTAINLY GREEN.
A Verdant YpuSh From Over tho ViUley
Creates a Sensation.
Last Saturday evening about 10 o'clock a
carriage drove up to the Centennial hotel
in this city from which alighted a closely
veiled dam-el c-corted by a medium sized,
gawkins appearing, red headed, sandy
complected individual with more money
than brains. The ladr retiied to tho parlor
while the sandy complected greenhorn re
tired to the hotel register, placing thereon
and representing themselves to bo one of
our prominent citizens of J'inc vallev and
sister. His next act was to ask for a room
containing two beds, and upon being in
formed that there were no such rooms va
cant he wanted an adjoining room, which
was also impossible to get. Tho clerk as
'signod him the nearest vacant room to the
one given the lady, and lie then wore a
forced look of satisfaction. Everything
went serene until morning, after breakfast,
when, while standing in (he bar room of
tho hotel, he was met with a hearty shake
of the hand by an acquaintance from Baker
City. During theconversation that unsucd
the linker (Ttyite, who hail perused the
register, a-ked the greenhorn if ho had met
the parties registered from Pine valley,
who were relatives of both the speakers.
He gave an ova-lve answer, grew suddenly
pale and appeared considerably vexed.
Cutting his conversation short, ho departed
for ths stable, ordered his team, and in
le-s time than it lakes to tell it he ami his
paramour wore on the road to the vicinity
of La ti ramie, from whence tliev came.
From his actions it was evident that he had
enticed the young and innocent lady from
home, with other than good motives to
prompt his doings. We refrain from men
tioning bis name on tlds occasion, deeming
this sufficient to give him warning that any
future action of the kind on his part will
receive our attention. Fathers and moth
ers should be more careful with whom and
whero they allow their daughters to go,
and then such vidians as the above will
havo to seek other fields iu which to carry
on thoir nefarious practices. A covvhiding
is too good for such fellows,

You have heard your friends and neigh
bors talking about it. You may yourself
be one of the many who know from porson

If you have over tried it, you arc one of its
staunch friouds, because the wonderful
thing aitout it is. that when once given a
