The recent cold snap wasn't pro
pitious time for ladies to stand with
their backs to fires. Last week Miss
Palmer, Of Dayton, and Miss Brad
shaw, Of Sheridan (both in Yamhill)
came very near joining the angel
throng by back-warming. Both had
their clothes partially burned off, and
if the fire had been as anxious to get
"start" as the average Yamhillian
is ever prone to do, the result must
have been 'fatally bad"
The Roseburg Plaindeatcr says:
Thursday evenings south-bound
train was brought to sudden stop
about half mile this side of Oakland.
A huge boulder had rolled from the
hill on the left ofthe track and lodged
in the centre OF the track. The train
was running on an up grade and go,
ing very slow, or the accident might
have resulted seriously As it was,
the truck was thrown from the track
and the cow-catcher demolished.
The trian was detained about two
hours.
The DeSeret Neeos has dug up from
the Book ofMormon some paragraphs
which justify it in assuring its readers
that General Morrow, late command
ant at Camp Douglas, has been
doomed to the bottomless pit. The
reason why this consoling disposition
has been made of the gallant soldiers
spirit is that he once came to Utah,
to interfere with the Kingdom ofGod,
but a change of venue was granted
him to New Orleans, before the ex-
ecution of sentence.
The McMinnyille Reporter says;
A slight unpleasantness occurred at
this place a few days ago, which
cast stain upon the fair name of
our village. In game of poker, one
of the participants bet his bottom
dollar and borrowed some more to
bet on o hand, and then lost. He
accused the winner of stealing cards,
and followed up his accusation by
drawing his revolver, placing it at his
head, and demanding the
money, which the man "ponied over"
rather than have his head blown off.
The Denver Ne,oS, to show how
cold it gets in Colorado, says: There
was no more than the customary stir
at Las Vegas, the other day, when the
stage coach, with four passengers in
side and corpse tor a driver came
tearing into town, The driver,
though frozen into a beautiful "stitf,"
was sitting bolt upright, with an
awful grmness of face and death
grip on the lines, The costly Jehu
was helped down from the seat, and
the next day there was big funeral
at Las Vegas.
