JUGGED. - Christ johnson is ,
logger, from Seabeck. Last night
be was in this city having little
fun with the boys. He went to the
Occidental and abused the bar keep
er, then he tried to make things
lively at the Eldorado for o few min
utes. At last he went to the Grottc
and commenced abusing a mar
there. The bar tender ordered him
to be quiet. and he turned his atten
ton to this gentleman, striking at
him, and knocking things off the
bar. Being very large and power
full man, and having q fine revolver,
which he took occasion to flourish,
he was justly considered danger
GUS customer. Before he had done
any particular damage officer Thorn
dyke came in and arrested him, and
started for the lookup. Arrived
there the prisoner seized the officer
by his two arms, holding him Sc
curely. Thorndyke asked a man
who was near to assist him, and as
the man approached Johnson kicked
him in the stomach. Another man
then approached, when the prisoner
released the officer to attack this
man. As quick as a flash Thorn
dyke drew his club, and by few
blows judiciously administered.
johnson soon became as harmless as
a sick kitten. Thorndyke took the
revolver from the prisoner, and put
him into the calaboose, where he is
now meditating on the changes Incl
dent to life.
THREE LITTLE MEN. = The ap-
pearance of Commodore Mutt and
his brother on the streets this week,
saws the Walla Statesman, attracted
very general attention, and the two
little men have been the topic of
conversation. Somewhat strange, a
third man of diminutive proportions
made his appearance at the same
time, and looks enough like the
Nuts to be a brother. This third
chap is man of means, a large cat
tie dealer in California, and as we
are informed, comes here for the
purpose of making investments.
Occasionally these three little men
have appeared on the streets togsth-
er, and as a matter of course they
were the observed of all observers.
TEA PLANT.--In the garden Of W.
N. Bell, of this city, is a tea plant
about eighteen inches high, which
has been in full leaf all of the past
winter, thus proving conclusively
that tea can be successfully cultiva-
ted on Puget Sound. This speci-
men came from the Agricultural De-
partment at Washington, and there
are now 100000 plants in the depart
ment garden. Tea might be cult
waited in small quantities, for family
use, in ttis Territory, but cannot be
grown for export until it can be pre-
pared for market by machinery, on
account of cheap labor in the dis
tricts Of China and Japan.
PosTPoNED.-The sale of Capt.
Taylor's household furniture, which
was advertised to take place at his
residence this afternoon was post
poned until next Tuesday, when the
sale will take place at Maddocks'

The sale was postponed on account
of notice in the MtelHgencer, which
said the sale would occur on Occi-
dental square.-W. D. Lyts, auc-
tioneer.
Run OvER.-Last evening as the
train on the Seattle ami Walla Walla
Railroad was approaching this city.
some horses were seen by the track.

horses was run over and killed. and
the other one injured. It is said
that the horse that was killed be-
Mr.. Maple, and the other
one to an Indian.
