M Goodman, an employe of the Victory placer mine about seven miles north of Glendale, was stung by a scorpion on the third finger of the right hand last Thursday morning, says the Grant's Pass Courier. Good man was engaged in blasting out some stumps, and took hold of the insect which stung him severely. Be fore he could reach the camp, about a quarter of a mile away, his arm was badly swoleu, and at last accounts the sting was regarded as a possibly fatal one. Dr. Miller, of Roseburg, was at once telegraphed for, and a telegram was also sent to the injured man's wife in Kansas. Goodman is about years of age, and of a strong con stitution, which favors recovery. The scorpiou was captured, and measured five and a half inches in length, an unusually large one.

The examination took place .yesterday in: Justice Powell's office aud the evidence showed completely different from the oath of the proscut ing' witness. It showed that Mr. Geislndofe'r bad not only not killed any deer but had never hunted any, jind the hide seen in the house was taken from the carcass of a deer given to him last October, killed by a hunter in the open season,' The law should punish such barefaoed malicious pros ecutors.: - .

It is Judge Steams. .; ' Lincoln county is no longer, an orphan as far as eounty judge is con corned. After due deliberation of nearly a month, Gov. Lord finally made a selection for the officeof county judge from tbe list of the numerous applicants for that position. A special to the Leader informs us that J. O. Stearns, of Waldport, has been ap poluted to fill the vacaucy caused by the death of Judge Burt. Judge Stearns has been a resident of Alsea Bay for a number of years. Hs is the recognized republican leader of that part of the county. His first ap pearance In politics was in 1892, befora the couuty was divided, when be ran for the 'legislature aud was defeated by S. T. Jeffreys, by a smalt majority. In 1893i..wlien the county was divided, he wasjappoluted.county commissioner by Goy,,,Pe,ui!oyer, and served a littlo over a year In that capacity. In 1891 lie was'ur.-ed'by many republicans to become a candidate for county judge, aud be refused to allow his name to be used, At the last republican county convention he was an aspirant for the nomination for county clerk, but was defeated In the nomination by Capt, Robertson, His appointment as county judge will hold until the first of July, 1898:-Toledo Leader; Geo, M. Miller, of this city, shipped 17 Chinese pheasants to his brother, Jdtiqulu Miller, th poet of the Sierras tt Oakland, California. Mr. Miller Is securing the birds for propagating purposes and will free them on his farm near Oakland. The birds arj about half grown . and a simple method was practiced in their capture. They were run down by a man on a horse. It is saldrthat when frightened the young birds will rise and fly to the greatest distance that their strength will oarry them. They must then rest quite a bit before regaining sufficient strength to fly again. If "spotted" by.a ruau on horseback he can persuo them at full speed, and, by jumping off his horse, catch them, as they will not try to fly uutil they have rested. Eugene Guard.
