turned from Montesano, where he de
liyered an Grafton on the 4th, says thai
the celebration at that place was de
cided success, about 1000 people being
in attendance. The observance Was
held in the skating rink, a building &C
by 100 feet in size. Prof. Bryan read
the Declaration, and the exercises were
interspersed with excellent music by
the Cosmopolis and Montesano bands

deem mines, resulting in the victory OF
the latter in eleven innings by score

There is now only one prisoner in
the county jail-Angus McClain, who
was convicted of murder in the first
degree for setting fire to his hotel in
Shelton consuming one of his guests
therein. He appealed to the Supreme
Court, and expected his case to be
taken up at the adjourned session
which cOnvenes on the 10Th inst, but
United States Attorney White refuses
to take up the case until the regular
term of court next January, and Nc
Claim is much depressed at the thought
Of having to remain in confinement so
long. He is kept in the steel cell, and
passes his time chiefly in making
small toys with his pocket-lsnife. He
has just completed beautiful full
rugged ship, which is intended as a
present to his wife.
Ellen LaDu, a half-breed woman,
went to visit her sister last night, and
on her return home was taken with
bleeding at the lungs. DR.. Steele,
hearing quick rap at the side door Of
his residence, little after 10 o'clock,
opened the door as hastily as possible,
and found the woman standing there,
who said " Pm bleeding at the lungs"
and fell across the threshold and, al
though the doctor and his family did
all in their power for her relief, she
soon expired. The Coroner was sum-
moned and her body was removed to
her residence. From the amount Of
blood seen along the course she had
taken, it is evident that the loss Of
blood had been great. The Coroner
did not consider it advisable to put the
county to the needless expense OF an
inquest.
On Sunday morning, as man
named Sampson was returning from
a ball given at Cummings, South Bay,
he arrived at the crest of Ayers hill,
about half mile from this city, the
horse going at a pretty lively rate Of
speed. The horse was high-lifed
animal, hard on the bits, and in max.
ing the descent of the hill got the
best of the driver, who, seeing some
saddle horses ahead, shouted to the
riders to give him the road, which
they attempted to do. One, however
did not get far enough to one side tc
prevent the front wheel of the buggy
striking his horse, breaking the single
tree. The shafts became detached,
that on the off side striking thu
ground and penetrating the earth ir
such manner as to overturn the bug
gy, crushing the top and breaking the
shaft. The occupants luckily escaped
without serious injuries, being badl.
shaken up, and the lady especial,
being greatly scared. The horse re
: turned to the stable Of the owners
