A woman in Nebraska recently swal lowed some valuable diamonds while on her douth-bod, dying a few minutes later. The diamonds were a part of the marriage portion of her husband's first wife, and lie hud presented them to the Bocoud wife. On his death, which occurred soou after his second marriage, the relatives of the first wife demanded the diamonds but were re fused, and the jewels were swallowed to prevent their getting them even af ter the death of the one who held them. The first wife's relatives have brought the case into court, claiming their right to have the body exhumed in order to obtain the diamonds, while the relatives of the second wife contest it strongly. The Prineville Newi, says: "Mrs. Eliza Warreu, of Browns ille, accom panied by her son ami his wife, visited her sister, Mrs, Wm. Wigle, and her daughter, Mrs. Joe Crooks, last week. Mrs. Warren's history Is -no doubt familiar to nearly ail people in Oregon. She Is now 57 years of age. At Ihe age of ten years she was a member of the mission school at Walla Walla, and was an eye witness to the massacre that took place there on the 27th of November, 1847. In this Indian butchery the great Dr. Whitman fell, and his brave, heroic wife was also a victim of the tomahawk. Mrs. Warren with 51 others were taken prisoners, and were in captivity three weeks. They were ransomed by Hudson Bay Co. officers. At that time the subject of these remarks was Miss Spuuldlug. Her mother and M re. Whit man were the first white women to tread upou the soil of Oregon. These truly pioneer women crossed the plains ill 1836 Mrs. Wurren was norn at Lapwai, Idaho, not far from the present town of Lew iston, and she is now the oldest white oh i ill born on this side of the Rocky mountains," More -Bank Mews It will be remembered by our readers that H. M. Beally receiver of the Linn County National bank, commeneedlan action against J: L. Cowan for $23, 299 60, and attached all the property known ns the Bank of Lebanon, prop erty, which was placed in the hands of three trustees fon the security of the depositors. Mr. Beall, as supplemen tary to and in aid of that action, has instituted a suit in the U. S. Circuit Court against J. L. Cowan and W. B. Donaca, J. M. Settle and J. A. Roberts, the trustees, and the papers- were served upon the defendants by .'Jt.fi. Coleman, Deputy U. 8. Marshal; re quiring them to appear In that court on the 6th day of November, to answer the complaint. At the same time the Deputy U. S. Marshal served upon the defendants an order made by Judge Gilbert restraining them frouudoing anything with the property pending the litigation. Mr. Beall also seeks to have a receiver appointed to take charge or the property, and the de fendants are required to appear on the 9th day of October to show cause why this should not be done. The - institu tion of this suit brings Into question the legality or Mr. Cowan's tuition iu turning over his property to secure the depositors of the bank of Lebanon, and will stop all present efforts of , the trus tees to settle with them. The com plaint of Mr. Beall not only questions the legality of the transaction, but also charges Mr. Cowan and the trustees with bud faith, and with the attempt to defraud the Linn County National Bank. Noooe, acquainted with the circumstances,. will for a raomernt be lieve this, and. if the caw depended upon that question alone there would be no doubt as to the outcome. The tiustees, we understand, will defend their position and not permit it to go by default. What the result will be is hard to tell, as there are several very close legal points involved, and it may bo a long as well as a hard fight, but it is to be hoped that the trustees will save the little they have for the depos itors rather than that it should all go to the Linn County Bank, which was practically J. L. Cowan's. We learn that W. B. Donaca, one of the trustees, and John M. Somers, one or the attor neys, will go to Portland Saturday to begin preparing for the defense. Later Just as we go to press, Geo. Humphrey. Deputy U. 8. Marshal, ar rives in tne city and places another attachment on the Bank of Lebanon for the sum of $6,438.62, which amount this bank owes the Bank of California, at San Francisco.

He came buck in two hours and a half, and he avers that he can make the run iu two and a quarter hours. The roads are iu prime condition. Statesman. As showing the scarcity of silver In certain small towns of Oregon, a youug man of Walla Walla, lately returned from a visit to friends ut Sweet Home, relates a peculiar experience. Accom panied by several friends, he went huckleberrying along the Santinm river. They succeeded in gathering a large quantity of the luscious fruit, and one young friend desired to pre serve a few gallons to seud home to Walla Walla. Arriving baek to Sweet Homo he purchased one dozen glass jars at the one store iu town, and in payment thereof proffered a five-dollar gold piece. With a look of astonish ment the proprietor informed liiin that he could not change it, All the busi ness places in town were searched for "change" with tlie same result. The proprietor of the store then proposed U) hold the jars while the young mail went to tlie next town Lebanon for tlie silver. After a trip to Lebanon and a visit to several business houses, the gold piece was changed and tlie jars obtained ufter a full day's search for ten pieces of silver. Walla Walla Statesman.
