Two DAGoEs.-Several dagoes have
been making their home in the Oregon
Pacific warehouse at the foot of Ellsworth
street. Saturday evening two Of them,
John Capalio Doe and Richard Ario Roe
got into a little trouble which came near re-
svlting tragically. Oae of them was doing
his weekly washing preparatory for the
next days rest, when the other loosely or
otherwise interferred. II resulted in Doe
throwing an axe at Roe, just missing him,
and following 1t up with a rock, which
took effect on Roe's head, knocking him
senseless tor few moments. He then left
without more ado. This was about II
O'Clock Marshal Hoffman and Police
man Jones followed him, resulting in the
dago being captured in Hackleman's thi d
addition to the city, or near there. lie was
brought back and taken as far as the cali
boose gate, when he suddenly slipped away
and tore desperately and madly off into
the darkness, and succeeded In escaping
bat not until the Marshal had sen: three
lead messengers after him.
Il PECULIAR ACCIDENT. Joe Avery,
who is very III, had very peculiar accident
happen to him last Sunday, which seemed
for awhile would terminate fatally. The
Doctor placed a thermometer in Joe's mouth
TO take his temperature, a1d the little fel-
low, unconscious of what he was doing
closed his teeth on the thermometer break
ing L. Before he could be prevented he
had swallowed the mercury. We learn
just as we 60 to press that he has some
what recovered from the effects of tho
mercury, and some hopes are entertained
NJ his rerOverv -RAnf0n yp1dyoD
Nor ADVERTISED. "A Minnesota mar
says when he gets home he is gcing I,
give Oregon more free advertising thar
the State has received all together from
other sources. He remarks that there peo
pie absolutely know nothing about what
grand country this is. 1t Is not advertised
at all to amount to anything, and that 4
thereason Washington Territory is forgini
ahead so fast.
RATHER PEcULIAR.-J Wager, edi
tor of the z. o., of PendIeton, is also /;
state senator. One of his pet measures 4
homestead law, which he has worket
hard to get through. In Saturdays q. O
the chap he left behind to manipulate hi
scissors and pen comes out openly ant
forcibly and opposes the law. We predic
that when the senator gets home there viii
be print shop row.
THE REAsoN.-Did you eyer notice tina
FM French's and all other watch sign
now read 8I8 O'Clock. That is fact, AM
the reason is that that is the exact tim
Lincoln was assassinated. A jewelcr tn
next morning had his sign painted that wa
and the custom in the u. S. has since bee
universal. We are indebted to MrFrencl
for this fact, one little known.
