In the evening, after Wilson and Coatrs quit woik, nnd while going to their cabin, they found Jen kins sitting on a rock, with lilt pick, shovel and n prospecting pan close at hand.

On Monday of last week John Hicks came near having hit eyes blown out, by the prema turc discharge of a gun cartridge, at the house of Win. Gamble, on Kentuck slough. He had been cleaning a Durgcss rille; had placed two cartridges in tha magaiinn, and was In the act of Ihiow lug one Into the gun, when the cartridge prematuivly exploded. 1 he bullet went out at the tnuiite of the gun, but thejvowder and portions of the cartridge recoiled nnd struck Hick on the hands and in the face. His hands wera lacerated ami his face powder burned, andiomeof the powd.-rwent Into his eyes. Immediately after tha accident, Hicks wiped his face and eyes with hit bleeding hands, which gave him a frightful appearance, nnd at first tha witnesses of the scene thought ha had been shot through the head. His eyes were so injured that he was de prived of his sight for several days, but fortu nately the injury It not permanent. The gun is not a total wreck, but It Is Aearly so, the barrel being about all of it that wat not shattered to pieces. The report uf tha explosion resounded frightfully in lite room where it occurred and also throughout the house. Mrs. Gamble rushed into an adjoining room nnd fainted, but young Gamble, who bail experienced worse thing, stood the shock without a tremor und prepared himself (o lay out the corpse that Hicks was expected to noon nuke, The gun was being put In order to kill a beef. Tha steer still lives, Andy Gaines, a lad 18 year of age, has been Indicted by the United Slates grand jury at Portland for complicity In the late mail robbery between Angora and Camas valley, A few days ago Gaines wtis arretted on thtOlalla ami taken to l'oilUnd, where he pleaded not guilty. His trial li set for March 11, Young Slillwell says Gaines took the Impression of the mad lock at Camas valley and carried It to Hill, at Coqulllc I iiy, who made the Ley with which the pouch was unloJseU at the time It waitobtcU. Arreit of sin Alleged Murderer, A man who has been In this place and vicinity, since last April, and known nl Charles A. Stan ley, war arretted on Front ilreet by Marshal Khodes on the 13th Inst, on a charge of having murdered one Anderson I'atton at Freeportlit Cowllii county, W, T., two year ago latt Nov ember, since which time ho has txvn n fugitive from justice. Stanley's true name Is laid to le A. J. Iy;on- nrd, and thl I the name under which he was arretted, laiit Thursday he was taken before Jutllce Hyde and commuted to the county jail for so days, to give tho necestiry time for the arrival of an officer from Washington territory hi convey him to tho place where he is wanted, Friday lonard was taken fo the Jill at Kmplre, where he Is now confined. The sheriff of Cow lilt county It expected here this week. I'atton, the murdered man, wat leonard'i brotlier-ln law. At the story runt, I'atton was a worthiest character, who was In the habit of maltreating his wife. Finally he extended his cruelly to his father-in-law, a man about 70 years old, whom he one night dragged from a tick bed nnd beat In an unmerciful manner. Soon after this, Leonard went for I'atton with a shot gun and he wat found dead. No one witnessed the murder, but siliplcion oin(eil so strongly at I-conard that he soon lied the country. First he went to Portland, and afterwards into Jackson county, where he was known at A, J. Jackson and nl one time followed the occupation of hurt ler for one of the gangs of Chinamen employed on the railroad work. ' It it presumed that I-eonard left Jackson coun ty to elude detecllret who hid traced him to that loathly. Ha tjme to tha Uiy the latter part of March or the itt of April, under tho assumed name of Chirles A. Stanley. The first work life performed here wat at Charley Hantoom's log. ging camp. Next he worked for John levari next for Jnp Yoalcam; then for John Yoakam, and finally. at the stave mill In this place, where he had employment at the time he was arrested. liconard's eyes appear to be weak And diseased. and several weeks ago he went from this place to Sin Francisco for the ostensible purxteof hiv Ing idem treated by an oculist. He returned from there by the steamer that arrived here on Iheaittult. Marshal -Rhodes came up on the same steamer and paid I-onard's fare. At that lime I .coriar d's intention was to acquire n timber claim in thli vicinity, but juil la what manner we are not advised. White he was in Sail Francisco Leonard as sumed the name of Charles A. I.iwrence, Soon after he left there detectives discovered that he had been there and that he vv.-u one of many men they wnut. 'Fhe Pacific coast detective as sociation at once notified Its agent in this place that I-ron.ml had relumed lo the bay, and ft was through Information thus obtained that the arrest was effected. We visited Ionird while he wo confined In the town jail here. At first he seemed disposed 10 comene freely, but toon concluded that too much talk had got him where was and that he had Iwtler keep his mouth closed, which he pro- jmed to da. Ixxmird Is a dark-compleiioned man of aver age site; is 35 years of age; has black hair, free ly sprinkled wllh gray, and wears .1 mustache and side whiskers. His appearance Is not that of a bright or bad man, but if the tales told of hhn be true, he is a lud man. but not smaiL A detcetlve gained Leonard's confidence and ob- talaeit information that prompted hit arrest by proposing dishonombte schemes tliat he readily consented to engage In. There It no doubt of Leonard being the man wanted, but he expresses no fear of an acquital at hit trin). It Is Mid ihit after hit arrest t(e acknowledged his identify ai)d that he lud com mitted the crime with which he Is dialled, pleading extenuating circuimtances in hltbelialf. The prisoner told us that he hat a brother in Portliud named J, Milton Stanley, who was In the hotel buslnctt a few years ago; and Later a slorckct-ner, and tint he hat & sitter at Olympia, named Alice Kachiel Tiiley, whose husband, Rice Tillcy, died thrro or four years ago. He says his father died about a year ago; and It-was while we were questiorvin; hhn as to the name of has father, eje, that lie concluded to abruptly dote the interview. A rcw-ard Of $300 was offered for the arrest and detention of 1-eonard until the sheriff of Cow tits county could come for him. Thcllllgatlon that has followed the disappear ance and reappearance of that Chinese girl Tye Tye has assumed proorllons that will ba likely 10 attract the attention of taxpayer when they are called ujion at the next term of county court 10 foot some of the bills, 'the matter, In onu form or another, has licea four times before justices of tha peace and (wive before the county Judge, and now we are told tliat a move is on foot to carry It into the circuit court. If the girl was in dinger and needed protection, she should have received it from the county court and there the trouble should have ended, h looks wry much Si if the matter Is agitated by soma Attorneys (or the purpose of fleecing the Chinnmcn, This of itself is outrageous, but when tho courts are prostituted to such purposes and the taxpayers called upon to fool the bills, it Is damnable, and something they should sit down upon. The way to do this is to locale the evil and quash the men who foster It. While people from all parts of the county arc petition ing for aid In opening thoroughfares, and be ing refuted cen trifling appropriations, the comity has no money to squauder in any such nonsense as has lieen going on for weeks in re gard to this Chinese Imbroglio oer Tye Tye. The next chapter, if there ba one, should come from the next grand jury, There Is something wrong somewhere, and it might be well for the grand Jtiry to investigate the conduct of some white men who have mixed with the Chinese In this litigation. The latest phase of the farce was an application to the county judge for an order restraining Chin Sue Quoag from marrying the girl after he had been granted ,1 license to do so, John Stenlicrg of North slough reports nliout four inches of snow at his place the first of last week. At the logging camps above the forks of North Coos rbcr snow fell to the depth of 'a foot, nnd on South Coos rher, at Yoakum's and nliovc, It was rcorted almost as deep.

There Is no presUibed locality where the disease, if It be a disease, is said to exist. Such sickness lias, been reported from all parts of the country, but rarely south of the Missouri river, lu dis cussing the question, the correspondent goes back to 40 years ago, when he was young and In England. Of'warse his father had a Urge farm and a greaKnUmbcr of calics. Then, like now, some would ail, lung their heads and re fute to slosh around the turn-yard, head up nnd tall, erect, lVini; or an investigating turn of mind, hewntclml closely the nfllicted beasts, and succeeded incartturing the leniun that wiere the cause of all tbe'troublc. He found the animals pastured on low? ipnngy Und. where there was much nearly stagnant water In the early fall. The water contained the seeds of the di-ease in the eggs of lhc,rasllej, which, taken into the system, found the place of living lu the pipes of the lungs. In ti'few weeks the symptoms of the dlsea.se showed plainly In a gaunt body and a universal shoit cough which sounded like the wont "ilark'.' the name iti Cheshire for the ail ment, "flic c.ilves a ill be found near said water, often standing In it and drinking, In nn attempt to ease the itchtns lu tho throat.

The remedy is very simple, and easily applied, being nothing, else than mixing a table spoonful bf turpeutine in water or oilier liquid, given for three mornings, fasting. There are. scores of cures In l-,nlaud for this disease, con tin net the coireSJAiulcnt, but the above is the tics., lie cnnfclUcJc Ids article by saying that 3 en h,e founjl the cause. he did not loso any more vei Ofcourse.ralvcsthathavobven sick must not ik given llie'same kind of water they got silk on. and all Is well'.
