LaGrande. At night he left trav-
cling bag containing five or six hun
dred dollars worth of goods ON the
table in the bar room. That night
it was stolen. 4 On the following
Sunday it was found about three
fourths of mile north of LaGrande
cut open, but with the goods in it
yet. Two young men, one IA and
the other l6 years old, were accused
of the larceny, and one of them made
an open confession that he and the
other boy accused, were the guilty
parties. They waived an examina-
tion before Justice Black, and were
placed under 81 200 bonds EACH"

had passed up the day before, and
more especially of the lady, if she
saw Commodore Mutt. when she re-
piled: "'Oh. yes / saw him. and
wasn't he sweet little fellow? |
took him up in my lap and hugged
him dearly, and [ offered to adopt
him; aud to my surprise he was Old
enough to be his own man. And
don't you think that lovely little fel-
low was over thirty years old; still |
would have adopted the lovely little
fellow, for he would have been 50
handy to have around the house. ="
