A trip o f exploration and adventure,
the true history o f which would read
like a Dare Devil Diamond Dick novel,
wax indulged in Sunday by members
o f the Ramblers Club. Several o f the
feminine members o f the party loat
their acalpa, at leaat that part not fas­
tened to their heads by nature.
The wilda and cavea o f the Coast
Fork Calapooiaa were thoroughly ex­
plored and dangerous peaks were as­
cended which even the noble red man
and mountain goat had failed to scale,
and foot waa act for the Aral time on
rocky crags which had sto<*l uniram-
pled since the beginning o f time, which
several o f the feminine members of
the party distinctly remember. Hu­
man ladders were brought into play in
making the aacent of perpendicular
mountain aides. When the ladies
miaaed their footing their deacent was
more hasty than decorous.
During
numerous atagea o f the aacent, pre­
serving a perpendicular was nearly as
hard as preserving dignity. Several
times different members o f the party
unexpectedly and precipitately assumed
a horizontal poaition with that particu­
lar part o f terra firms which they were
attempting to negotiate.

The Smalla took up a 320- acre dona­
tion claim just west o f the city in the
early days and spent many years. They
moved to Eastern Oregon about 40
years ago, where Mr. Small went into
the cattle business. Their preaent

in Judge Bryson's court at Eugene
Saturday, the evidence being
in­
sufficient to hold the defendant.
The trouble aroHe over a daughter o f
Thorne'a who ia employed in Bohlman’a
tailor shop in this city. Up to the
time o f the alleged attack, all parties
had been on friendly term*. Accord­
ing to Bohlman’s story, Thorne thought
he was advising the girl to leave home,
and came into town and assaulted him
in such a manner as to break a couple
o f ribs. Bohlman denies that he had
ever advised the girl what to do.

Roy Boutwell, who works at the Vesuvius mine, in the Bohemia dis-
trict, brought in two black bear cubs a few day ago, which Alvah Church-
ill purchased and presented to Mrs. Churchill, who has adopted them as
pets. They take very kindly to their new situation, as the picture indi-
cates. Mr. Boutwell killed the mother bear the day before he found the
cubs. In fact he knew nothing about the cubs until he came back after
the body o f the old bear, and found the little fellows, evidently quite
hungry, whining around the body o f the dead mother.

Meetings
Held; Resolutions
Adopted; Precinct Workers Are
Appointed; Council May
Be Helpless.
A mild storm has been raging this
week as the result o f a license being
issued to the Sells-Floto Circus to show
here Sunday, May 26th.
Tw o mass meeting of church people
’ and citizens have been held and every
effort is being made to interest every­
one possible in opposition to the propo­
sition. Committees o f workers have
been appointed in every precinct,
whose duty it is to interview every
resklent o f their respective precinct.
i Committees were also appointed to
bring the subject before the Commer­
cial Club, Board o f Trade, G. A. R.,
W. R. C. and local militia. C. H.
Burkholder has been appointed a com­
mittee to present the remonstrance to
the city council. A final meeting w ill
be held Saturday evening, and the
Mayor w ill be asked to call a special
meeting for Monday night. It is anti­
cipated that all members o f the council
will be w illing to rescind the license, if
that action can be taken.
Following is the resolution that was
adopted :
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council :
We, the undersigned citizens o f Cot­
tage Grove, having learned that a li­
cense has been granted by your honor­
able body for a circus in Cottage Grove
on Sunday, May 26, 1912, and feeling
that a circus exhibition on Sunday

Fred A ffo lter met a peculiar and
painful accident last Thursday fore­
noon, resulting in the severing o f two
cords and an artery just above the
wrist o f the le ft arm. He was chop­

himself just how the accident hap­
pened. In some manner the ax slipped
or turned in such a way as to swing
around and inflict the blow that re­
sulted in the injury. The injured man
