Gleasou, of Dotham, Curry County, on the low er Rogue, camo in to Grants Pass and reported that he and G. A. Ruth had found tho body of a man on Paradise Bar in Rogue river. In comixuiy with two other men they hurried the re mains on the river bank, and rejwrted to the probate court. Tho body had apparently been in the river about three or four weeks it was that of a man six feet in hoigl with dark hair and about 88 years of ago. He was dressed as a miner or prospector, having on miner's boots, hluo overalls, ribbed underclothin, and a black overshirt. In " hi pockets were found $15 in gold, 85 cents in silver and about $3 in gold dust. Nothing was found that would cs lauusu ins Hientity; who tho man was and how he came by his death is a mystery. It is said that he was seeu n Leland several weeks ago when he made a few purchases and departed without nnyono learning who he was or when ho came. There is another story to the effect that he was ono of party of four prosjiectors from Stockton, Oal.,who attempted to go down the Rogue in a rowboat. The boat was probably capsized and all, at least this one, drowned. Tho body had floated for a considerable distance down stream, as it was badly bruised and both arms were broken from roll ing over the rocks iu tho swift current. ROW WITH JAPS.

The Jap truin was standing in the yards here while tho white crew in hurge, were switching. A string of box cars were shunted in on tho sid ng and jammed against tho Jap train. nocking many of the Orientals from their feet, overturning a stove or two and upsetting things in general. The little brown men were much maddened by the jolt, getting an idea into their stubborn heads that it had been done ntentionally, and rushing out of the cars made a wholesale attack ou the trainmen. Bystanding citizens rush ed to the rescue and a general riot fol lowed. The officers hurried to the ene and after some difficulty restor- d peace. One Jap was knocked on tho head ith a club by Ed. Williams, the Juti liling to go inside the car when he as ordered to do so. o hlame is attached to tho train crew as they butted tho cars Into the ap train by accident und were given no opjportunity to explain.
