East Oregonian; The removal of Capt. N. B. Humphrey to the asylum at Salem was decided up on by his friends and broth er, George Humphrey, who ar rived Thursday evening from Port land. The unfortunate captain has been mentally unbalanced nearly all the time since, his in jury, the trouble being as cribed to the enect of alcoholism and the shock resulting from the accident and amputation. It was thought that he could receive bet ter care and treatment at tho hos pital than anywhere else. Physi cally he is sound, being as strong as could possibly be expected, and the limb is steadily healing. The disease of mind only interferes with his recovery. This morning the patient was examined by Drs. F. W. Vincent and C. J. Smith in the presence of the deputy district attorney, and county judge committed him to the asylum. The commitment states that on July 5th Capt. Humphrey had his foot run over by a passen ger train, and it amputated at 4 p. m. that day. On the the 9th he became violently insane, necess itating constant attendance by two men to keep him in bed. During this time he did not sleep. After three days he became partially rational. Then he relapsed into his present condition. At no time since amputation had his temper ature been over 99$. The captain will be taken below on this evening's train. The hope goes with him from many hearts that his mind, strong and cultured enough to have made him, with its proper use, oze of. the country's foremost men, will in due time' be restored to him. ' Genial, kindly, largehearted, he made friends in numerable whose svmpathy goes 5 out to him in his distress. '"Cap" only fifty-two years old, and has yet a place in the world. He Abuses the Minister. Hugh McDonald, better known as "Scottie" is again in trouble. Ie had been doing very well of ate, abstaining from drinking and working steadily, but could not stand the pressure and Sunday he let go all hold and got gloriously drunk. He went up to the tab ernacle where Rev. Scoles the Ad ventist holds forth, and, standing in the door-way, he began abusing Mr. Scoles, using a great deal of profanity and obscene language. Marshal Stamper who was here took McDonald in charge and ocked him up in the cooler. Monday morning Dr. Carlisle swore out a warrant for his ar rest. He pleaded guilty to the charge and Justice Gilman fined him $200 or 100 days In the county jail; i.n default of the cash he now lang uished. The fellow who is highly connected, is a dangerous man when under influence of liquor and after his sentence is served, should he come back to Athena, the au thorities will be requested to give him his walking papers. It is not a great while since he struck the 13-year-old son of L, A. Githens of this city, and at another time made an attack upon Marshal Stamper while under ar rest. The reporter was shown a bowie-knife Monday by a man who took it away from "Scottie" who informed the party that he intend ed to "do" Stamper with it, a short time after Mr. Stamper had ar rested him the first time. In the event that this fellow comes back' to Athena again and the authorities do not make him move on, there are a number of good citizens who will take the matter in their hands, and prom inent among the implements that will be used is a bucket of tar, a fence rail, and a bag of feathers. Kicked by a Horse. A Wednesday evening about 7 o' clock, a young man named John Hunt, who is boarding at the Athena House went into Smether- raan's Livery Stable on Fourth Street and stepped into a stall behind a horse. He put his hand on the horse without speaking and the horBft kicked him with terrihe force in the pit of the stomach, The blow knocked the young n.air back and turning him comple around, he strnck against a post which was about eigiit inches square with sharp corners, with his fore head. A severe cut was inflicted over the right eye and the young man was unconcious for ten mm uts after the accident. Undoubt edly he would have 'been killed but that some harness hung on the poet, which in a measure lessened the force of the shock. Dr. King , was called and administered to Mr, Hunt's injuries. BOTT0M"PANf Bottom rA Paid in Their Own Coin. The editor of the Weston Leader gave the Athena ball club quite a write up in his last issue. He boils over with indignation and accuses the boys here with not ex tending the usual formalities of hospitality; that the Weston team went home "superless and weary" though perhaps not as weary (eyed) as Bowmer was when he wrote it up that the Weston club meet and defeated enemies, not friends; that the Athena club was overmatched and that they tried to win the gams by rattling the Weston club. Not thinking it exactly the "propet caper" to take the Leader's wordfor.it in regard to the hos pitality clause, the reporter in terviewed Captain Gilleland, of the Athena team. He informs us that in the first game the Weston boys were the challengers; that 4 the Athena boys went over there with the expectation of receiving the "hospitalities of their town asa visiting nine;" that one of their members Frank Henry told him that such courtesy would be extended to them; that when the game was over they cheered for "Helix and one man from Athena,"and that they never show ed up with their "hospitality." And as far as "chewing the rag" is concerned, mo3t of the members of both clubs did not indulge, the most of it being done by Crimmons of the Weston club and Rush of the Athena club, and they did it in a friendly way to lift the mo notony of the game which was the dullest played on the Athona diamond this year. 1 A Novel Game.

The papers in Umatilla county's first breach of promise case were filed Monday evening at the court , house, lhe case is one of unusual interest, the defendent being M. M.
