handsome lady from Oregon City v.Imi

Robbery and Slimier.
About 9 o'clock Tuesday morning,
in Portland, three men entered
the Dawn-broker shop of; Walter
O'Shea, on Washington, ljetween
First and Sjeond streets, under the
pretense of purchasing some blankets.
From indications, it appears that while
I O'.Siiea was stooping down in front of the
open safe, he received three blows from
some heavy instrument, rendering him
oblivious to all the surroundings. At , , ,-,. ,
present he lies in a very precarious eondi- i willing to put Israel Rivers on tho very
tion. TLe jobbers then locked the street i apex of fame, hoist thereby a petard from
door, and proceeded to help themselves j some unknown poet, whose rythm being
to an unknown amount of money, and a .,, . . , ... .'
carpet sack of jewelry, etc. In the mean- j hiultless and whose words .sublime. Ul
timo the suspicions of two young men on j duces us to overstep the usual rule and
the opposite side of the street were j publish wit limit the name ot the compo.s
aruiised, w!'.ie!i led to Constable Sprague, er. lie should step to tiio front, however,
the onlv ptlieer then insight, teing eaded. as the ranks of tho poets are broken with
Wiiile sprague was at the trout door, the .
men elleeted their
escape through a rear
window, over a
hiiih board fence, anil j
then walked coolly through the .tore 01
Lewis A' S;raus, into Fiist street, up
winch they leisurely strolled with their
plunder, until becoming aware of their
iK-ing pursued by Constable Spiague,
when they broke into a run. As Spiague
was closing up on the last man, one of the
robbers turned and tired a revolver, nar
rowly inisiing him, and strik ngayoung
lad named Louis Joseph, who A as stand
ing on the walk, squarely in the heart,
killing him instantly. A second shot was
tired at Sprague without cited. The men
then ran to the corner of Third and Mor
rison streets, jumped into the grocery
wagon of Weeks tfc Morgan, drove up
Morrison street tit a furious rate. At Fif
teenth street they abandoned the wagon,
passed through 'King's orchard and the
City Park, making good their escape into
the woods. Wit inn an hour fifty well
armed men were scouring. tho woods west
of the city, but up to yesterday morning
the search was unsuccessful. In their
liight tho men dropped tho valise con
taining a goodly portion of the jewelry,
etc., which was found near the park. It is
believed that one of the men was Wounded
by tho accidental discharge of one of their
own weapons, as the report of a pistol
.was heard, and just after one of the men
was seen limping. The small reward of
was ofuued by the commit too on
health and police, for the apprehension
and conviction of the guilty parties. The
Coroner's jury, in thecase of the lad Louis
Joseph, rendered a verdict in accordance
with the above. There are various con
jectures as to the authors of this high
handed outrage, but without any particu
lar foundation. As near as is known, one
o( the men is tall, and spare built; the sec
ond was low, thick, anil very heavy; and
the third was scarcely more than a boy in
stature. Up to Wednesday night two ar
rests had been made, but proved to be the
wrong parties.
Disastrous It una way.
Saturday afternoon our town was arous
ed from its usual quietness by Fellows &.
Harding's horse and express wagon com
ing down the street at a "J.lt gait. It seems
that Mr. Harding left the horse standing
at thedcpot.and it got frightened from some
cause and concluded to leave. Kverything
was rigid side up with cure until the run
away took thesidewalli in front f Major
Charman's, and kept it to the land oliice
corner, going under the awnings, knock
ing against posts and buildings, and
bringing up in the street alongside of the
land oliice. Tho wagon was pretty well
used up, and tho horse had' one of his
hind legs broken, making it necessary to
kill biiii. Feilows vt Harding are anout
cdH out on the afternoon. This iirm
seems rather unfortunate "wit h their hors
es and express wagons, having lost three
horses and met; i itii about a dozen sma.sii
uj s.
i;v the way, we had almost forgotten
Feiiows' dog, which was tied under the
wagon and 'made the pei ilotis ti io from
the' depot to Myers' store, where Ihe rope
i'iukc!i!i:l he escaped. Tho poor dog was
determined t ke 1 up with the wagon.
I and it was really laughable to see his
movements now" liying in the air with
j the rope stittchi d to its utmost, and the
j next in. mi lit hanging his head against
the wh.-eU, then dra.rmg over the rocks
j and rougu sidewalk ; and it is no wonder
i that the canine 'gave vent.to his feelings in
; hunt veins whenever the rope was slack
- .. ... . . ..
enougn to permit 01 me same. .Mr. r ci
lows was giving the dog his lirst lesson
i:i following tho wagon so as to guard it
when the Ol iver left it, to deliver grocer
ies, lint from present a; 'pea ranees the
dog has lost too mueh cuticle to do much
following tor sonic time, and it is a safe
b. t that he will li-'Vcr go near that wagon
again, even if he should recover.

j Tho Fourth of July runaway, or the run-,
j around Israel Rivers.
i He can't stay in one place and is satisfied !
nev r;
He cut a grand show when he left his child
ren and wife
To go and sock his own pleasures in life.
I am not much acquainted with the old skite,
Put a few lines I thought I'd write ;
hut from sill that I can learn
lie's just such a 'man that a wife might spurn
Up to this time our sympathies have
decidedly been with the wife; but this last
line excites a grave suspicion. Women
ure iuick to judgment ami slow to mercy.
Perhaps Israel's pocadilloes were not so,
grave that his wife should summarily ex
ecute punishment by spurning. Pel haps
this son of Ham, with the imprint of his
wife's hrogans imoigned in his posterior,
wanuer-tne earth a' marked anil bruised
fugitive away from the scene of anguish,
gladly exchanging the bosom of the world
for the besom of his better half. Israel, is
this real? Is our presumption correct? If
so, come back to the wife of your better
days, where plasters, salvo and healing
ointment awaits you. Come back to the
ExiEitPHisK oliice and pay U3 three dol
lars, anyway. The poem com mues : 1
I don't think it is his wife's fault at all,
For she seems kind to each and all ;
And h'1 seems to her most dear,
1-Vr niter he left I saw her shedding tears.
I have leari.ed from his friends of old
That olten he has lett his tender fold.
I think that if 1 was him I'd take a better
plan
I'd go home and live like a man.
Wo think this lets Israel out. The mis
erable cuss, after having piloted children
to the thrcshhold of the lied Sea of this
world's misery, deserts them to steer into
tho rivers of Sin ; tie leaves his teuuer fold
forsaken.
Will the memory of belter days arrest
him from his downward career? Will the
still small voice of conscience whisper
him back to be tho "Douglas, Douglas ten
der and true" of the old hearth-stone? We
know not whether this appeal to "return
and live like a man" will soften the icy
coccles of his heart; but we add our en
treaties Israel, come back to the "loved
anil tost" and pay us our three dollars;
you may depart again after this witli our
benediction "if "the storm clouds lower"
about tho ranch and "t he old home ain't
what it used to be." We stretch our hand
to you, Israel Fivers, to say, lest "U'e nev
er smile agai-." (at Mack's) return with a
trinity of dollars for us and receive our
forgiveness. So to finish our quotation
ut the beginning
"And Israel's spuds shall sprea-JJabroad
Wide as the waters be."
