adjournments was tried before Recorder
Henton and large crowd on "Wednesday
forenoon, Hon /. II Montanye appearing
for the city, and Capt N u Humphrey and
ii II Hewitt for the defense. The facts In
the case as nearly as we could learn, and as
appeared partly from the trial, were these

he had borrowed from backslldcr, ap-
preached the Army, consisting Of Eve MEM
bers, while they were going through their
usual street exercises, and attempted TO pass
directly through their circle even heading
for the small space between the Major and
a young lady Salvationlst, this gpdiis he Gtas
about kis business In Salvation shirt. Major
Stillwell objected and with one or two Of
the young ladies took hold of him. Then
Price tore loose from them and stepping for.
ward, Immediately after police had Inter.
fered, struck Stillwell as heretofore stated,
Knocking him down. Whether he trans.
acted the business he was about we have
not learned. The Recorder decided that
the first assault was by the Major, and that
Price had a right to 80 through the circle
In a red Salvation shirt, as the Army had no
right to obstruct the street and keep men
away from their business, and discharged
the prisoner. The Recorder stated that II
both men had been arrested for disturbing
the peace he would have fined them.
The case explains itself.

Fine Badges.

Last Saturday the Albany fire depart
ment received two elegant badges for the
Chief and ASST Chief Engineers of this city.
The former is of gold and the latter Of sill
yer, each of very tasty design. The cost
of them was little less than forty dollars.
They were made by Braxmar, ,ofNewYork,
and are probably the finest in Oregon. $50
of the purchase money was presented the
department by Messrs. Vance and Dubruille
after the fire few months ago,in which their
property was saved by the department.

Tried to Escape.

Michael Martin, prisoner in the County
jail, attempted last Saturday to saw has way
out of the Jail with case knife, taking the
same place in the rear of the right corridor
immortalized by the escape of Saundcrs.He
had cut a bar off when discovered by Sheriff
Smith. 1t is fact worthy Of note that
neither during the administration of the
present Sheriff or his deputy has prisoner
escaped, the only cases, we believe,in the his
tory of the county. We predict that Mr.
Smiths successor, Mr.. Smal!man, wi be as
careful in this respect.
