LOCAL RECORD.
Tiik Rock Ckkkk Aitaiii. A corres
pondent of a Salem paper writci In the fol
lowing emphatic manner about the shoot
ing scrape : "The examination before the
Linn county grand jury was not concern
In" the shooting of Chas. Thomas. It was
about the letter that the so-called vigilant
sent to Wm. Thomas. And as to the ex
pectation of bloodshed, it is not expected in
the least. If there are an of our citizens
going armed, I would like for jour inform
ant to tell who nicy arc. in rcgaru u
peddling all that is said in the neighborhood
concerning this affair, I can say this :
There is much more peddling done outside
of the neighborhood than there is in it. We
have sonic tattlers as well as other neigh
borhood. Those thinking all are that
way inclined had best come and sec be
fore they say too much."

The Weather. Last night it began
raining, and, notwithstanding considerable
hay and wheat is down, lias been keeping
It up since. This In the face of the fact
that the while flag has been up and Mr.
Gradwohl's dry weather woman out. Be
sides this the barometer has been up to
30:20, which makes the whole weather
transaction quite inexplicable. The wind
has been in the south, though, and white
flags and weather women don't have much
to do with the matter then. Our citizens
have been kickinir quite tenerally to-day ;
but that will not do any good, Things
l' will come out about right.
-i An Alarm. About 8 o'clock an alarm
f was sounded on the fire bell, and immedi-
J atcly everybody took It for granted the fire
. was in the vicinity ot the "three alarm" af-
fair. A barrel of straw had caught on fire
I in the rear of Parker Uros. bakery, and
i in the alley. Just why the alarm ras given
we do not" know. Perhaps to ascertain if
I our fire boys can run as fast in Albany as
J in Seattle.
I New Co Yesterday, Messrs. B. M.
i Huston, J. A. Mcl'cron, W; T. Hearst and
i E. E. Parker formed a partnership in the
1 dray business under the name of Huston &
J Co. These are all reliable, steady men,
I and will make a safe company. They have
f four trucks. Mr. Col. Hurkhart retires,
and, we understand, lias purchased a pat
ent tongue supporter, a fine thing by the
way, which he will sell to the farmers of
Linn county.
Very Brief. The following is an ac
count of about as brief career In a partic
ular capacity as it is often ones fate to
meet : "Pitt Smith, recently killed in
Graham, Idaho, while discharging his
duty as an officer, arrived at the place
S where he met his death, on the 27th nil.,
was appointed Deputy Sheiiff on the 2yth-
lie had formerly nerved as deputy under
i flicnil liner, at Boise, and had won a rep
I utation or nerve and coolness in the face
1 of danger, but like many another such
I whose lines are cast on the outposts of civ
i ilization, he crossed the nath of a 'irun-
nghter whose quick eye, unerring aim and
iiiuiuerous instincts, lurnisncd tnc nine
miniirr camn with n 'man for breakfast.' "

A Greek P. M. The Portland Tel yra.n
gives the following account of a very green
kind of an official: "This rootairg a United
States deputy marshal lodged in the county
jail here Postmaster Joseph Bassett, of New
bridge, Union county, for embezzlement,
Soou after his arrival here a Telegram ropre -sentiye
had a brief ebat with the defaulter.
He proved to be one of the greenest criminals
one can easily conceive. In answer to the
question as to whether he was changed with
embezzlement, he replied, "I don't know
what you mean." "Did yon steal any money
while acting as postmaster?" again asked the
reporter. "Ob, yes!" rejoined Bassett; ' id
I guess I may just rs well plead guilty."
The facts in connection with his crime are
that recently a registered letter containing
$260 reached bis office perhaps the largest
sum ne ever neia in nis nauas ac once, judg
ing from his appearance. The temntation
was great; he abstracted the money from the
letter and had a 'good time with the boys

Years ago Princville had the unpleasant

The daily mail service between here and

ficient service.
Till Glaze, four years ago, declared that

Ed. White's saloon to the crossing of the
inner ditch at Caiy's market. Ten to one
that Till will toll.

The Newcomer. The Silverton Appeal
