AN INHTKUCTOII NltKDItl).
The youiij; people of this town
niul n few of the older ouch seem to
hnvc n keen desire to cxccll in the
bewildering lnhoryntlis of the terp
secorenn tnnzc, If one mny judge
by the heroic and Irrepressible vnlor
in which sonic of them cnuic to the
front nt the diuicc Inst Friday even
itig nt Martin's Hall. They were
not there in any great numbers, but
sonic of them evidently thought,
from their presistent, laborious and
excruciating evolutions, that they
were the "only pebbles on the
beach." There were but fourteen
of the fnir Hex present and but ten
of these participated in the fncinnt
ing whirls. About twenty-five of
the sterner sex ornninentcd the hall.
They were not all artists. A few
seemed to realize their inability to
do the two-step or the four-step to
say nothing of the wait, gcriunnia,
but would have been quite con
tented with n try at an old-time
quadrille or Verginin reel, or any
old thing they had sonic confidence
in themselves that they could
stagger through, but it was not to
be, for the boys who thought they
were the "real thing" kept up a
constant clamor for the new fangled
magic circles that they were tor
turing, and in the bewilderment of
multiplicity of floor managers the
square dance wall flowers got shut
out. It has been suggested that it
would be a capital idea for some of
the young bloods to lure an instruc
tor and take a few thousand lessons
in dance deportment and rythmic
time before they rush madly to the
front and monopolize the floor to
the entire exclusion of others who
pay the same price of admission,
and common courtesy ought to sug
gest such a course to their minds.

C. H. Hates, the whilom photog
rapher of the tent on Main street,
like the Arab, has folded his tent
und skipped for pastures new, leav
ing numerous creditors to mourn
not only the loss of their shcklcs
but the confidence they reposed in
the young artist from Lebanon. He
seemed to be a guileless youth and
was a good photographer, and to
the casual observer he appeared to
be doing a paying business. He
got into the good graces of all our
people and the fair sex swarmed
about him like bees around a mo
lasses cask. He was not known to
have allowed his generosity to over
step the bounds of his pocket book
to a greater extent in behalf of his
girl fiieuds than an occasional
5-cent bag of candy or peanuts, and
the mystery is where his earnings
went, for he borrowed little sums
from all his friends and got credit
from the stores on his promise to
hhortly liquidate. Uefore leaving
lie made arrangements to buy out
the Taylor gallery and then
borrowed a bicycle from B. M. At
kins to ride to his old home at
Lebanon to raise the funds for the
purchase. On Monday a letter from
liim to Taylor directs disposition of
the few effects he left here. A tele
phone message to Lebanon elicited
the information that he had departed
from there four days. This young
man has started on a road for a life
of trouble. He has deliberately
thrown that away which years of
upright life will only gain honor
nud manhood. This ought to be
nn object lesson to some of our
young men who are very relax in
business methods and carry an over
stock of promises. The marshal nt
Lebanon found out the whereabouts
of Bates, recovered the wheel and
sent it to the owner on Wednesday.
KlI.Llin A Cououu.
Joseph Sehlee, Doc Pitcher,
A. B. Atkins and young Martin
were hunting on Mosby creek on
Tuesday. They got n fine big buck
and wounded nnother one, but he
got away in a deep canyon. Late
in the afternoon Joe Schlee spied a
bigcouger nud put a bullet into
him. The balance of the party had
scared the conger away from a
feast he was having on a three
point buck he had recently killed.
After Schlee had wounded the
couger the dogs took after him aud
treed him, and Doc Pitcher gave
him the quietus. They brought in
the hide, which is a beauty and a big
one aud is on exhibition at Schlee's
store. The bounty on congers is
$5, but Joe wants $10 for the hide
aud he ought to get it.
A Malicious Aosaui.t.-
Last Monday Hilly Drew, the
logger, came to town and in quest
of diversion aud pleasure strolled
into the Resort saloon. Here he
found and formed the acquaintance
of George Townsend, the tinhorn
sport nnd consort of the mistress of
a house of ill repute near by, and
for want of better company they
both proceeded to fill up on booze at
Billy's expense. When the tangle
foot got to working nicely it loosen
ed their tongues, they told ribald
stories aud addressed each other in
the choicest of Billingsgate. The
brute nature of Townsend was later
aroused aud for a fancied insult he
grabbed Billy by the throat and had
chocked him until almost black in
the face when the bartender inter
fered. Townsend then turned his
wrath on the peacemaker, struck at
him over the bar. but missed, and
then with fearful oaths tried to
climb over the bar, when the bar
tender hit him with a club across
the neck and dropped him. He
soon came up with a cuspidorc
which he hurled at the bartender.
It missed and smashed the panel
behind the bar. As he stooped for
another cuspidorc the bartender
reached over the bar and whacked
him again on the head with the
little "billy". He again came tip
aud the bartender covered him with
a revolver and ordered him out.
He went, but said he would get his
gun aud come back, aud he did.
He came the back way with weap
on in his hand, accompanied by his
women, who pleaded for him to de
sist. The back door had been
quickly closed and bolted and the
woman soon coaxed him to put up
the gun aud go home with her. In
a short time he came back the front
way and entered the saloon. One
of the proprietors now appeared on
the scene, was made acquainted
with the facts and requested Town
send to get out. He refused with
oaths and threats, aud had to be
knocked down, dragged out and
thrown in the mud of the street.
He soon recovered his feet, hung
around for a while and when the
.jaloon people were busy with pat
rons he went in agnin. The mar
shal had been notified aud showed
up promptly. Townsend was called
into the rear room, accused of car
rying n weapon, which he flatly
denied, aud the marshal had to
cover him with a shooting iron be
fore he ycilded up the gun from his
hip p ckct. He was then taken from
the saloon and locked up in the
city bastile. Deputy District Attor
ney L. T. Harris came down from
Eugene aud an examination was
held before Justice Vaughn on
Tuesday nfteruoon. Townsend was
bound over to appear before the
Circuit Court in November under
bonds of $250 for threats against
life and carrying a concealed weap
on. Bonds were given.
A Manila Papkr.
Henry Landessthis week gave the
Nugget reporter a copy of Freedom,
a weekly newspaper published in
Manila on October 15, 1898. He
brought it over as a souvenir when
he came back with the Second
Oregon. It is a spicy little sheet
filled with news of the islands, war
songs of the soldier boys and items
of camp life. A half column is de
voted to a baseball tournament for
a cup, the many teams belonging
to the differant regiments in camp
about Manila. What changes have
taken place in a short three years.
Most of the boys who were then
fighting in those far off islands
under old glory are today tilling the
soil of their native land in paths of
peace, and have but the re
membrance of the trials of that
campaign.
School OriCNS Monday,
We are informed by Prof Briggs
that in the change of books from
the old to the new system, that all
old books will be exchanged for
the new series at a minimum rate,
and that the entire change will
amount to from 50 cents to $1.50, an
average of about 75 cent. This
will make the expense light for all
and put the new system in
thorough practical working order.
Those children who have the
whooping cough will not be per
mitted to enter school until all dan
ger past. Parents are requested
to send puplies promptly nud keep
them in school so as not to hinder
the work.
