Wednesday, June $, 1901 THE SUMPTER MINER JOHNS GETS A JOLT. Violates City Ordinance, Ar rested on three Charges. Last Saturday the city physician, Dr. Brock, received a report through the cus tomary thannel that there was a case of contagious disease in the home of Cato Johns, and that he had not complied with the city charter regulating such matters. In company with City Marshal Rand, he went to the house and found that one of the children was down with chicken pox, that the case had not been reported to the municipal authorities and that no flag was displayed, both In violation of the ordi nance. An hour or so later In the day Cato Johns met Dr. Brock In front of the post office and began abusing him for the ac tion which he had taken; threatening to assault him physically, and finally did strike at him, Dr. Brock stepping aside and avoiding the blow. The city physi cian had three warrants Issued against Johns; one for assault, and the other two for violation of the provisions of the health ordinance. When Marshal Rand served the war rants, Johns announced that he would have to be taken by force, so says the officer. It required little force, however, to take him to the Recorder's office, mere ly the "laying on of hands." When the prisoner reached the court room, he ut tered a tirade of abuse against all the of ficers concerned, the marshal, attorney and physician, declaring that if the first named would remove his badge of office, 'he would proceed to "lick" him. The star was taken off forthwith, but Johns -again failed to make good his bluff. He plead guilty to assault and paid the line of five dollars Imposed. On the other two charges, he asked for a contin uance, so 'hat he could have his brother, an attorney who lives In Baker City, to come out and defend him. This was granted and he was released on his own recognisance. The date of his preliminary hearing has not yet been fixed. City Attorney Chance went to Hot Lake Sunday. He Is expectid home tomorrow, when he will doubtless proceed at once to prosecute the case. The sentiment of the town Is about unanimously against Johns In this affair, as in most everything else he does, and no one Is In the mood to "stand for" his unlawful acts. All these officers have merely done their official duty, with no malice toward any Individual, and will un doubtedly be sustained by the municipal .government and public approval. Sudden Death of George WUgtod. Geo. W. Wiegand, the Bourne mer chant, who went to Arizona last fall In search of health and who was supposed by his friends to have partially recovered, died a few days since In Los Angeles, California, while en route home. His wife had received a telegram to meet him .In the latter city, where he probably Inten ded to remain a while before coming here, 'but she had only proceeded as far as bak er City when another message reached .her of his sudden death. Arrangements were at once perfected to have his re -mains expressed to Baker City, where 'they were burled yesterday, the ceremo nies being conducted under the auspices .of the Presbyterian church. Mr. Wie gand was the foremost of Bourne's busi ness people and had a large circle of Inti .mate friends who mourn his demise. Tkktk Banff Year for Miafcf. This will undoubtedly be a banner year 'for mining. The great accumulation of ready cash In the money centers now 'looking for Investment Is something start 'UngC All the bonds, warrants and other securities offered are greatly sought after at astounding low rates of Interest. The railroads, owing to excessive high selling prices, do not pay to exceed three per cent, and a great majority of them much less. Thus it will be seen that other out lets must be found. Mining seems to be the only channel left to Invest In. Those who a few years ago would throw up their hands In holy horror at the mere mention of Investing In mining stock, ev idently have changed their minds, and have come to the con elusion that mining offers better returns today than any other Investment in which money can be placed.
