account OF the arrest of the two Benton
county young men charged with robblng
Mr., Baldwin, of Peoria. Who the officers
were we do not knownor do we know any
thing about the truth OF the following and
suspect Il Is greatly overdrawn an few
days ago two young men from Willamette
Precinct were at Peoria in Linn county In
company with an old gentlemsn who got
too much liquor TO know much Of what he
was about. The next day lac swore out a
warrant la the Justices Court OF Shedd
Precinct, on a charge against the two young
men, OF larceny of his money. The con.
stable and his deputy armed themselves
with revolvers and came over TO make the
arrest. One of the young men was In bed
asleep when they arrived late at night.
When he was awakened he was looking
into the muxzles OF two rcyolvers. of
c surse he made no resistance, and one of
the officers babe the other one hold his pis.
tol on the young man while he himself
read the warrant. They waited Tor the
other young man TO come, which he prea.
two valiant officers ordered him To throw
up his hands, and he did so while they went
through his pockets, taking everything
even down TO tooth-pick. The young
men had their triaI and were discharged,
there being no evidence against them. The
Shedd officers have the important lesson to
learn that an officer has no more right than
a privete citizen to draw revolver on
man unnecessarily"

worth hearing. Right hSre; II Albany

PROBABLY Jusr FArg-A most singular
coincidence occurred yesterday says the
Pendlrion 4. y. resulting In the fatal sick
meas of two horses The animals belonged
to Jack Powers. who, with others, was
making preparations to depart for the
Grccnhorn mountains. 4 mule also had
been procured. which was grazing In pas.
ture near the Farmers Custom mill. Low
Tiilard, one of the party, mounted one OF
Jack Powers horses to so down and cap
ture his niuleship. Onarriying at the pas
turc the animal he was riding fell suddenly
To the ground, sick aud unable 20 move.
Tillard at once proceeded back TO town
with the news, and the other horse was
mounted and ridden down the river TO
where It's sick comrade lay. On arriving nj
the spot, Il also fell sick in It's tracks. What
could have caused the peculiar Illness OF
the two horses, which were In healthy
condition before, on the same spot, Is some.
thing very, very strange. Both animals
will probably die.
