ALMOST LYNcHED.-Considcrab fun
and some excitement was occasioned on
the Oregon Pacific train, when the
"boys" got a rope around the neck of DIR
Rich, the popular o P surgeon and rhyli
clan, and were about to lynch him when
by dexterity the Doctor squirmed from the
moose. The cause Of the act Is ascribed to
the fact that some of the railroad men
were filed with gore from reading too
much on the Sullivan-Kilrain fight and
from losing numerous hats and coats on
the ight,and were demanding blood of any
kind. The Doctor wears the mark OF the
rope to this day. No arresIs.
