Deputy Marshal Hoffman appeared and
arrested him after using his club tome, in
the course of which Taylor's revolver was
discharged. lie was placed In the callboose.

is growing finely, having already attained

that the late abundant rains have furnished
pools of water all over the desert. . . .There
exists quite a small pox "scare" in Prine
ville at the present time. There is really
little or no cause tor it. We have grave
doubts of the existence of a case of smalt
pox in Crook county, and if there is one, as
has been reported, we see no cause for
velline before being hurt. ... Born, at

This Oregon Pacific trouble is becoming
very Intricate, and there are so many rum
ors afloat It is difficult to tell how the wind
is blowing. Several hundred of J. G. Mev-
er&Co.'s men are in Corvallis demanding
their pay, and that city is having a worse
spell than smallpox. Job & Hamilton's
bank is said to be guarded, and as well the
O. P. office. Neugrass is said to have left
last night at 5 o'clock, but this !s not au
thenticated. At the front the laborer of
Smith & Allen, sub-contrators, have quit
work, the members of that firm having
fled, one to California and the other north.
They were owing thein $4000, Searle &
Deane had $1000 of their monev to meet
this with. Rumors in reference to Searle
& Deanc are mostly exaggerated. Mr.
Mahar, representing them, reguests us to
state that the item in the Herald to the ef
fect that.they had been attached bv several
creditors, including Stewart & Sox and
Wallace & Thompson, was untrue; but we
find that so far as Stewart & Sox are con
cerned, it was correct. Other attachments
were issued but not applied, and theirs has
been dissolved; it is believed that Searle &
Deane are all right; but there is an uncer
tain rumor that they will make an assign
ment, probably not reliable. lost any
kind of a sensation may be looked for in
reference to the matter So far as the O.
P. is concerned it is said thev havenald nil
their contractors.
Sheep TiUF.VES.The Corvallis Times
ha3 a long, labored article on the subject of
the proclamation issued by his Excellency,
the Mayor of that city, requesting people
from other towns and cities not to attend
the second annual ball given by the mili
tary company of Corvallis, for the reason
that grave fears were entertained that
small pox would be spread in that city
The Timet after saying a great many hard
things about Albany, as a petulant boy will
when he loses his temper, says : "Perhaps
there was no danger of spreading the dis
ease, for it has been well said that a man
that would take the small pox from an Al
banyite would steal sheep." Now let us
see. The Mayor and people of Corvallis
were so fearful that small pox would
spread in that city that the Mayor made a
puuuc request xnai panics irom Amany
should remain at home. None but sheep
thieves would take the small pox from an
Albanyite, therefore the people of Corval
lis are regarded as sheep thieves else their
Mayor would have had no fears about
small pox spreading. None but a Corval
lis paper would have thought of placing
Corvallis people under such a cloud as this.
The Times 's unfortunate.

fashion last evening. The evening was

A Fatal Fight Information was re
ceived here yesterday of an affray at Ger-
vais, says the Statesman, which will proba
bly icsutt it the death of Robert Krebs,
one of the participants. It appears that
Krebs, whose home is near Brooks, a few
miles this side of Gervais, was drinking in
a saloon at Gervais with Charles Atwood
a section boss on the O. & C, when they
commenced disputing with each other
over their respective physical prowess,each
claiming to be the "best man." It was fi
nally decided that they should settle the
matter at once bv going outside of the city
limits and fighting it out. Krebscame out
ahead ; but afterwards three men In the
crowd attacked him, and one named At
wood 6tabbed him, probably fatally.
A Challenge. "The Albany paperi
are bellyaching and poking fun at the re
quest issued by Mayer Lee in regard to
the military ball. The Herald says all
sorts of funny things and calls us tender
feet, while the Democrat sarcastically
says: 'Varily they have some very brave
soldiers at Corvallis.' If you think 'E
company hasn't got some fighting metal.
they might meet your brass buttoned gen
try halt way and hght you to a finish just
for practice." Times. Come on and we
will agree to fumigate particularly for the
occasion, and if there isn't some fun along
the Wiilamette then our name is not Den
nis.
The First Siirrife. Yesterday in re
ferring to the death of Mrs. Isaac Hutch
ins,we mentioned her husband as having
been the first sheriff of Linn county. We
learn that we were mistaken. The first
gentleman to have that honor was Mr.
Jason Wheeler, now a resident of Albany,
who was elected in 1848 and served for two
years, taking the census of the county in
1850. When elected there were about 300
votes cast in the county. Mr. Hutchins
was the second sheriff, being elected in
1850, serving one term of two years.

Mr. Gurney, inventor of the Goroey cabs,
is in the city trying to arrange for the intro
duction of his cabs here, under the system
of running tbsm yon pay 20 cents a mile for
riding ia them. While at the present time
they would probably not pay here aa the
number who would patronize them is limited,
it is possible they wonld in time. We should
have street cars and be done with it. A. ma
jority of people do not mind paying five cents
for riding a mile ; but very few would pay
20 cents after the novelty wore off, except for
special purposes.
Sarcastic The Corvallis Times In a
long article attacks the O. P. road in a
savage manner,among other things saying
they have purchased the press to be silent.
The road may possibly runtwoofthe Corval-
!is papers; but it doesn't the Democrat: at
the same time we appreciate what a great
service u nas oone lor the vaitey, and are
willing to overlook some of their big faults,
for they seem to pursue the same course
taken by railroads and people generally,
that is, get all they can for the leist price
regardless of means.
