Wetsell's free entertainment with IiIh

a grand success In tho way of amuse

the way of exhibiting tho merits of the

failure. Tho llro to In) operated upon

u few rods north of Dean & Co's store.
At tho appointed time WotHoll marched
boldly up nud tired ono of hlft grunndea;
but it failed, to break, and tbureforo had
no effect. Ho then tired nnothor, which
broke nud had a marked 0 fleet upon the

two more grenades wore flung nt tho

tho head man of one of tlio Coqulllelish

Randolph in tho boat and Frlck did not

As soon as ijssiblo Frlck was taken

afternoon, nearly 18 hours after his
wounds woro received, and by that time
that jMirlion of bis bowels that had pro

had become so swollen that to put them

Aftor tho nrrlvnl of the Aslorin nt As

soon occurred o test Iho apeed of the

Tho Pioneer was ofTFortfitcvena with

enmo along to givo her 11 brush. Neither

na ia natural, didn't caro to bo left, anil
so thoy t'fltno flying along, watched with
considerable Interest by a largo crowd
on ovcry dock, who knew that such a
good chance would not bo allowed (0
pass. Tho Bccno was n flno one. The
brcc7.o waa fresh from the southwest,
the water was rough and tho green
swells sparkled in tho sunlight or flash
ed from tho sides of tho little steamers
na they hissed through tho rushing
water. Tho seven miles wore made in
24 minutes, the Astoria leading, though
it is tho belief of somo that tho Pioneer
can hold her own with the now arrival,
while others say that when tho Astoria
has a chance to get nil her bearings
worked true nnd has been in servico 11

lows :
The schooner Adelaide ia in from
California with a cargo of 105,000 feet of
redwood lumber for Cnpt. J. J. Winant's
yard. This is tho first cargo of this
class of lumber shipped to this port.
Tho lumber is in demand nnd it is prob
able that mora of it will bo shipped
here.
As soon as tho Adelaide haB discharg
ed sho will procecd-'io Coos bay to take
a cargo of coal fOr Han Francisco.
Thu new steamer Coos Bay arrived
yesterday and wc bad a jollification.
Cnpt. Harkfns took us all on board and
set up the soda, ice-water, lemonade
and bo forth. Wc aro all delighted with
the new steamer, and I think she will
get a good trade from this place. She
found plenty of water on the bar.
The railroad company nro putting on
nil tho men they can work and every
thing looks well.
This morning a young man named
J. C. Young, employed ns n brakcman
on tho railroad, met with a terrible
accident; The train upon which ho be
longed waa backing, when he attempt
ed to tighten upon1 tho rod nnd it gave
way and ho fell to the track, several
of tho cars and the locomotive running
over him nnd cutting oil" both of Ids
legs abovo tho ankles. Ho was picked
up and convoyed to a physician as
speedily as Kssiblc, nnd the latest
advices from him aro that ho is expected
to survive tho accident.
My next letter I expect to bring my-

More of the Huntley Suicide.
Southwest Oregon Recorder, Sept. 2.J
About 5 o'clock last Tuesday morn
mg Jeff AAiIson, while on lira way to
Port Orford, stopped at Milton Hunt
loy's placo on Sixes river. Receiving
110 response to his knock upon tho door,
ho entered tho houso and. found Hunt
ley lying, upon the floor, near a bed,
dead. Young AVilson immediately re
turned to Divelbisa' place, not far dis
tant, and informed Uiat gentleman of
what ho had seen, whon together tho
two returned to tho scene of horror nnd
found tho unfortunate man as described
The top of his head was literally shot
off, and tho brains scattered over tho
floor for n space of two feet. Tho body
was rigid and it required considerable
effort to release his hold upon the rifle ;
it was therefore evident that tho fatal
shot was fired at or beforo midnight.
A most singular featuro in tho case
was tho fabttttat41e-two youngest sons
of tho suicido were in bed asleep, not
two feet nwny, And were not awakened
by tho report of tho riflo and bad to bo
called by tho party discovering the body
of their father. ' AVord was sent to Port
Orford, when a Jury, composed of tho
following gentlemen, proceeded to hold
an inquest: P. Divelbisa, AVm. Rctz,
A. P. Mann, J. AY. AA'ilson, Geo. Divel
biss aud Alva Lee. Tlio jury's verdict
was to tho efl'ect that deceased camo to
bis death from a gunshot wound in the
bead, and that ho had inflicted tho said
wound whilo temporarily insane. The
remains woro buried on tho premises
by neighbors. It had been observed of
lato that lluutloy was laboring under
mental depression, and several days
previous to his suicido, whilo at Nay's
mill, bo remarked that ho thought the
best tiling he could do, considering his
troubles, presumably domestic, would
bo to blow his" brains out.
