.nong Wing, the Uninese pawn
broker, whose palatial establishment
is opposite the post office, is out and
injured to the tune of 8800. This
amount, which is a fortune to a Chi
naman, in China, was stolen from him
by some brother Mongolian last Fri
day night. The thief deftly entered
the front 'room, cut a hole under
neath a bunk in which two Chinamen
were asleep, got into the back room
and took $800 out of an unlocked
safe, on top of which another China
man slept. Kong Wing has kept
that safe locked ever since, and slept
last night with one eye open, but so
far has no clue to the clever rogue
who stole his coin.
Every one has heard the joke about
"fencing a town in.'' An.old Nevada
friend in the office yesterday, tells it
as a fact that the town of Bnllionville,
Nevada, is "fenced in," literally.
Some time ago the two principal
mining companies put up $400,000
chlorozination works that didn't
work. Everything shut down, and
neighboring bands of cattle came
licking around the pans and settlers.
and died from the effects of the chem
icals on their innards. So the ranch
ers got together and hauling lumber,
they just naturally "fenced the town
in." Time was when Bnllionville was
a red hot little town with lots of coin
and heaps of fun, but so goes the
world.
The tugs Donald and Escort
towed the Fahtaff to sea jesferdav
afternoon, and brought in a British
bark, believed to be the Cumbiian,
from Maryport, England, with rail
road iron aboard. When inside Clat
sop spit, aud about half way between
buoy No. 0 and Fort Stevens, about
six o'clock, tho vessel struck, her
stern taking ground, tho vessel swing
ing broadside on. There was a strong
ebb tide at the time, aud the vessel is
reported to have grounded lightly.
There was a pilot aboard. The Oen.
Canby and Dolphin arrived subse
quently from the Capo and it is the
opinion of those aboard that the ves
sel would be got off at high water
with littlo if nny damage. This is
the first accident in that vicinity
since the stranding of the Queen of
the Parijir September 5th, 1883.
Later: Tho tug Donald came up
at a quarter past eleven last night,
towing the Escort which had a haw
ser foul in her propeller. The vessel
was then where she grounded, about
halt way between No. G and No. 3
buoys, on the edge of the channel,
resting easy, and there was little
doubt but that she would come safely
off at 3 o'clock this morning, having
simply sheered in, the tide running
strongly out at the time. Captain
Howes returned with the Donald
shortly after midnight.

"William Lousignont, living 24 miles
west of Forest Grove, in this county,
but near its boundary line with Co
lumbia county, on the upper Neha
lem, had a thrilling mountain experi
ence last week. "Wednesday evening
he went into the hills after his cows,
and in returning found one of his
sheep freshly torn open and a cougar
near it. It was dark and he had no
gun with him. Next morning (Thurs
day) he went back to the carcass with
his dog. A cougar was treed, which
he brought down with his "Winches
ter. Saturday morning he passed
near the carcass with his three fine
dogs, and discovered three cougars
feasting upon it. "With a wild yell
tne uogs ran lor tne big game, and
succeeded in stampedincr them into
trees. Lousignont is the crack shot
of the mountains, and quickly dis
patched two of the large, ferocious
beasts. The third shot was less for
tunate, and the beast sprang out of
the tree onto his best dog. He
hastily throw a cartridge into his gun,
but it missed fire. Lousignont then
ran to the resono of the dogs, using
uis gun as a club. a.a overreached
in striking and the wounded animal
turned upon him. Quickly drawing
a huge hunter's knife, he plunged it
into the cougar's throat, using his
left arm as a guard. Hllhboro In

Mr. Jones came home at an un
seemly hour the other night and was
surprised to see Mrs. Jones sitting up
for him below stairs, with no other
light than that of the electric tower
on the corner to keep her company.
"M-m-marie," ho said huskily,
"y-you shouldn't sit up -s'lato when
I'm out on bushiness."
As Mrs. Jones did not answer him
he continued in an alarmed veice:
"Shorry, m' dear, but it's lash time
tell you I'm shorry won't shpeak to

At thi3 moment Mrs. Jones called
from above stairs:
"Mr. Jone3 who are you talking to
at this hour of the night?"
"Thash what I like to know, m-m-my-self,"
stammered Jones.
Mrs. Jones hastened down stairs,

situation she laughed, in spite of
being very angry.

The Wife Wouldn't Allow It.
Five men, three of them pretty
well known here, occupied a back
room in a prominent saloon all last
night, and judging from the cards
strewn upon the floor in the morning
many a deck must have been dis
carded during the nocturnal venture
at poker. Two of the players were well-to-do
business men and the rest were
clerks receiving fair salaries, and who,
by the way, had accumulated some
money for the inevitable rainy day.
One of the clerks Every heavily;
and besides giving its checks for the
aggregate sum of $1,300, he even
went so far as to risk his little home

his wife and two pretty children.

Yesterday morning the player who

at all unlikely that the clerk's credi
