LICENSE CAsE.-The case of the
Territory VS.. VIM. E. Smart. in
which said Smart was charged with
selling liquor without q license, was
tried before Justice Scott yesterday
afternoon. Haley l. McGraw, for
mer proprietors Of the American

nse. They subsequently sold their
interest in the hotel to Smart, but
could not transfer the license. The
suit was brought to prosecute Smart
for selling liquor after the transfer
without q license. In the course of

the bar was included in the transfer,
the liquors were reserved and were
being sold by Haley & McGraw on
the license. On this evidence Smart
was acquitted, ard the Territory has
to settle the cost.
Our city and county taxes become
delinquent after February 1st, and
people generally who have not al
ready paid up are making exertions
to do so. This has the effect of
making money temporarily scarce,
and some of our readers are alarmed
at what they regard as stringent
times for money. However we may
expect a. better state of affairs so
soon as taxes are all paid The
prospects are favorable for better
times so soon as the rainy season is
over.
RUMoRRD OUTBREAK.-A rumor
has reached Portland to the effect
that an Indian outbreak has occurred

nation concerning the truth of this
report, and learned that nothing is
known at Dayton of any Indian dis
turbance. The General will at once
take measures to suppress these hos
tilities should the rumor prove 2well
founded.

day concerning the escape Of the
Eve prisoners from Jail, but in max
ing up forms for press it was over

for their re-capture they have not
yet been taken.
SEVERAL logging camps are pre-.
pairing to commence work for the
season. This is much earlier than
usual, but the increased demand for
logs probably has something to do
with it. The indications are that
this will be an active season for log
gers.
