Etna Cason Again.

Etna Magee (nee Cason), the girl
who has been the heroine, or other
wise, of a dozen notorious escapades
and romances is again on the down
ward path. Says the San Francisco
Chronicle: During Monday night
Officer Mexican, in seaching for
Irene Shrine, a runaway girl of
West Oakland, found her in COM
pany with Etna, the latter having
deserted her hard-working alleged
husband several days ago. Etna's
story has been told in chapters
many times, consisting of her al
legged fallin Salem, Oregon, COM
pelling Cason to marry her, her
rescue from a fallen life in Oakland
by the salvation army, her career as
a tambourine lassie, her third and
deeper fall in debauchery, her inn
prisOnment for vagrancy and mar
riage to honest James Magee upon
her release and promised reform.
Then Cason claimed her as his wife
and in attempting to assert it in the
Magee household was pitched out
the window by Magee. Two months
later Cason induced her torun away
with him, but at Stockton he was
arrested for inducing her to lead a
life of shame, and she returned to
forgiving Magee. She has been liv-
ing respectfully for about two
months" The people of Salem had
a good deal of sympathy for this
girl, at the time other first trouble,
which occurred here, but that is
about worn out by this time. Etna
is irretrievably bad.

Mashed by a Horse.

A very serious, and perhaps fatal
accident occurred about two miles
this side of Silverton on Saturday
evening. A young man named
Bryan, already cripple in his left
arm and leg, mounted a young
horse, with the intention of riding
the animal to the pasture. The
horse became fractious, threw
Bryan, and then fell on him, crush
ing in his breast and head.
Bryan was taken home by
some one, and DIR. Mcclure OF
SlvertOn called in. Bryan could
only be given rest at all, at last ac-
counts, by heavy administrations of
chloroform, and with every breath,
a gurgle or rattle would sound in his
breast, that seemed to show that his
injuries were internal, and severe.
Hell not expected to recover.

That is What was the Matter With the
Citizens Depot Meeting.

The meeting of the citizens, which
convened at the council chamber on
saturday night, under the call OF
Mayor Murphy, was noteworthy fol
only one thing: the absence of the
citizens. The consideration of the
matter of the removal of the depot
from its present site was postponed
indefinitely.
The continual howl about that
"beastly place for a depot, phizz-
ew!-Oh! my, why don't they move
the depot out of these tiats?" etc.,
was simply buncombe nothing
more. Twas ever thus. 1t is quite
evident the dissatisfaction over the
old depot location was not general.
A JOURNAL reporter had it from
Supt. of Bridges and Buildings De
Clarke this morning, that were the
non-action of the citizens of Salem
final (and no one will doubt that it
is).york will be commenced on the
new depot building at the old loca-
ton, in about ten days. The new
building will be somewhat larger
than the old one, and will be very
ornamental building. 1t is the in
tentiOn of the company to move the
switch to the east side of the main
track, and to build the new depot
clear on the west side of all the
tracks. This in conformance with
the wish of the travelling public, as
expressed through these columns
not long since. The city council
should now begin to consider inn
provementof the walks to the depot
from State street.

On last Thursday the home of
Hon. Edwin II. Hatch, the republi-
can nominee for state senator, near
Mccoy, Polk county, was the scene
of very worrying sensation. a
pony that the children were i'm the
habit of riding escaped from the
barn, while Mr.. and Mrs. Hatch
were away, and the children went
out into the field to get him. When
Mr.. and Mrs. Hatch returned home
in the evening, Holt, the next
TO the youngest child, aged
about four years, was found to be
missing. After hunting the house,
and out buildings thoroughly, they
thought he must have followed the
other children to the fields, sosearch
was instituted there for him. When
darkness fell, and still no traces of
the lost boy, the family's uneasiness
increased, and eight or ten men
from Mccoy came, in response to a
summons, TO aid in the search. The
entire night was spent in searching
through the grain fields, until at
four o'clock in the morning he was
found in the farthermost part Of the
farm, sitting with his feet I'm a little
ditch Of water, fully a mile from
home. To get where he was he had
crossed a swale with four inches Of
water in it at its most shallow place.
His clothes were dry, except his
stockings, and at last accounts the
little fellow was none the worse for
his nights outing.

This morning a small knot of dis
appointed clerks and others could
be seen gazing at the iron doors OF
the general merchandise establish
ment of Adolph Mayer, next the
postOffice, and soon it began to be
known that Mayer was trying to
arrange an amicable settlement W tn
his creditors. He filed his assign
ment this afternoon too late for the
JOURNAL to get an itenlized state
ment of his liabilities; but it was
learned from Eugene Willis, of the
Capitol Adventure Company, to
whom the assignment was made,
that the liabilities were a little in
excess of $4,000, while he could
probably find $4,000 or $4,000 as
sets. Murphy, Grant & Co., Rosen-
baum d Co., of San Francisco and
L. NJ. Haines of this city are the
principal creditors, and he owes his
wife's mother, a resident of Missi-
ssippi, $4,000, borrowed money, which
was placed in the business. The
failure was occasioned, said a well
informed business man, this after
noon, by Mayors attempting to sell
goods too cheaply. San Francisco
creditors were crowding him, so he
assigned, to protect the other credit
