Prineviile Review. - - Many Skeletons found. Not long ago, while Andy Ham mersly was digging around the hot springs on Dr. Daly's place, north of Lakeview, he came across a skull, which was burried In the mud. More digging brought forth more skulls, and part of skeleton. Tbe longer be dug, tbe more be found. He brought home a dnien or more, aud left them at the Examiner office. Whether this is an old Indian burying ground, or whether tbey were Indians that had been killed by white men, or white men murdered by Indians, aud dumped in tbe spring Is a mystery. It is tbe impression, however, that tbey were Indians. Andy says there are hundred of tbem there. i Drowned at Detroit. Monday at 8 P. M. the body of Peter Best, who disappeared from Detroit three weeks ago, was found in tbe river about 1 miles below where his fish pole was fouud at the time of his disappearance. He had $220 ir gold upon his body in a belt when found, aud a gold watch. Bluce his disap pearance search has been made con tinually for the body, not rewarded until Monday. He was about to prove up on his claim. He ha a brother, W. J. Best, in Vllllsoa, Mont gomery Co.. Iowa. His watch stopped at 8 o'clock, to it is certain that he met his death at that hour on Aug. 18. The deceased was about 85 years of age, was single, and was well spoken of by those knowing him. He was an oc casional visitor to Albany, where he was favorably known. Democrat. Through Fire. George and James Vanderpool and party had a narrow escape from tbe fire that have been raging in the mountain if late, They were return ing from Fish Lake and were stopped by the heat and smoke. They were anxious and almoBt compelled to pro ceed, so they started their team on the run down the grade, and pawed through about 80 yard of ol d flame. George's faoe and hands were quite badly burned and his beard was singed. One horse was burned slightly and the harness and wagon snore or less damaged. Tbey got through all right at last, but were badly scared. The lire Is thought to have been purposely started. Great damage has been done to timber and traveling was made dangerous. The authorities should vigorously prosecute the guilty parties. You can get Price Baking Powder for 80c. per pound, every can guaraa teed. Arm & Hammer aoda 4 cent a THE COLT8 AFRAID. To m Xdito or thi Eipmm:- Some lime ago tbe Lebanon base ball team sent the "world renowned" Colt, of Albany, a challenge to play a match game of ball, but tbe challenge wa not accepted by the .conceited Colt. They have been challenged by tbe Lebanon boy eight time and tbey (till refuse to play. A few week ago Manager Booth of tbe home team called upon the manager or the Colt in Albany, and the' manager of the latter "team told Mr. Booth that he would give blm a game any time be brought hi team down. Now after making a fair and square agreement for a game, Mr, Booth received a letter from Win. Mack, the Manager of the Colt, stat ing that it wa Impossible for them to play, as some of their men were out of town. The letter also contains the following paragraph: "I wish tbey were here (meaning tbe men tbey claim are out of town) we would take tome of tbe conceit out of you fellow." Mr. Hack also says: "We are not afraid of any thing in the state; we can beat anything in the state." This thing of some of their men be ing out of town is merely a subterfuge, or an excuse for not playing as they ar afraid of being defeated. If they oouid "beat anything in the state" why didn't they play the Lebanon team on tbe 4th of July at Waterloo, when they were offered $10 and their expenses? They were afraid. The Albany Colts are cowards of the first water. If they are such great base ball players why didn't they play the Lebanon team when tbey offered to play at Albany and pay their own expense. The Albany Colts are champion cowards, and champion blowhards, Instead of base ball player. For puff ing and blowing and advertising themselves in the papers this team has no equal on the Pacific ooast. In the face of the above facta this team I surely placed in a very unenviable position before tbe public. They should draw in their horns, or back what they claim with actual ex perienee, and it would also be well for the Albany daily papers to quit toot ing the horn ef this little insignificant base ball team. How can such a team as this be the champions of Oregon. A Revolver Accident. George and Harry Reid, soda of Mr. W. F. Rekl, aged about thirteen and eight, had a small gun experience Saturday evening. Tbey were play lug Dear one of tbe slaughter bouses in the western part of the city when one of the employee at tbe house let George have a small revolver used in killing hogs to shoot at a mark. Tbey went out a -short distance for the purpose when it waa suggested that Harry throw up his bat for George to bit. This he wa about to do when George in getting tbe revolver ready, ac- cidently discharged It, and of course the bullet took a bee line for Harry. It bit blm In one of Its thigh going through the fleshy part into tbe other leg. Being in the fleshy part it did not hurt him much and will not be very serious. George put Harry on bis back and carried bim all the way home, nearly half a mile. Tbe ball was extracted and tbe boy is doing well. Democrat. i . Bryan Barbecue and Ratiflcaticn.
