trespass on the complaint of MIR Da
Houck, on warrant lrsued by MI
Brink, Esq. The following version
of the matterwhieh has created great in
terest among Tangent people, is given III
DEMOCRAT; Mr. Houck rented part O
the large Vernon farm OF old lady Yer
nom, now over eighty years old. Running
across Il from the rest OF the farm was
private road. This Mr. IIouck had plowe,
up and sowed to wheat In the spring. Th'
Beard Bros. had contract with Mrs Vcr-
nom for hauling some hay from her faru
and they hired Mr. Forester TO do the work
In doing Il he drove his team over the ole
road, including the sown wheat, aud Mr.
Houck, who II is claimed did Il for the
purpose Of preventing any one from get.
ting out, had him arrested. The defend
ant claims Il Is, like nearly all trespass
cases, matter Of spite, and also claims
that the road part was never rented to the
prosecuting witness at all, which he says
Mrs Vernon will verify. The case was
call at O'Clock before the Justice and jury
Of six men,
THR w. L. X. Co.-Recently the DEMc-
GRAFT published an item from the East
OysgoHiaS In which that paper said thar
several young men representing the
Wrought Iron Range Co. were doing Una
tillE county, and that they were sharpers
and swindlers. The DEMocRAr asked for
report from some here who had bought
ranges when the young men were in the
Valley, and Mr. III Bowman, of Benton
county answers the request and desires US
to state that he bought one of the ra ,ges,
paying $73 for II, that he considers Il the
finest thing he ever saw, and though the
price was high, his wife says she wouldn't
part with Il for twice the money that the
young men were honorable in all their
dealings with him. The DEMocRAT Is
some like the f. O. Itlikes to geta chance
to pitch into itinerants who take trade
from home merchants I; but we try to be
honest and gladly give Mr.. Bowman's
view of the matter, which In fairness the z,
o. might well publish.
RETURNED VIM HrM.-Constable c 6
Burkhart returned Monday from Blaii,
Nebraska, with Sylvester Nichols, the man
arrested there at the instance of Davis
Bros, for taking out of the state six mort
gagged horses. He was gone just twelve
days,going and coming by way of 81 Paul.
He found that Nichols had mortgaged the
same horses there for $500 and had 10 fight
n writ of habeas corpus in order TO get his
man. The case will come up before Geo
Humphrey, Esq at O'Clock tomorrow
morning.
FINGER AMPuTArED.-Satnrda after.
noon Mrs. Rowell and daughter, Olive,
of Sweet Home, accompanied by DIR.
Lamberson, of Lebanon, came to Albany,
and DR.. Hill in the evening ampuiated
finger on the left hand of the Young lady.
II was made necessary by blQSd poisoning
which had been caused by tie finger be-
ing prieked by a ps-.ile previously used to
open gathering In the ear OF brother of
Miss Olive.
As ANTIciPATED.-IuSt rs the DEMO
Graf anticipated Seattle * overrun with
carpenters from the East who started for
that city Immediately after the FIRE, think
ing there would be plenty of work. Owing
to the fact that the business portion of the
city will be rebuilt with brick and stone,
there IL not much work for carpenters at
present. The worst place in the world for
a carpenter to go to i 4 burned out city.
Nor GUILTY.-The jury in the case of
the State against MartiV Forester, tried
before Justice Brink Monday afternoon
late In the evening brought in verdict Of
"not guilty" which was in accordance
with the version of the case presented the
DEAocRAT. Yet there arc always two
sides to ali cases, and probably Is TO this
one. As rule trespass cases are better
not brought, unless there are very aggra-
vating circumstances connected with them.
Ton AT SALEM.-IIarry Dunn and Tom
McNary will put in Sunday in the city
cooler the result of the usual amount of
whisky showing itself through their well
soaked hides. A great many think II would
be good scheme to keep Tom at solid
hard labor long enough to get the stuff out
oi his system and probably he might "take
a tumble TO himselE."
A SULrRY PLAcE.-A resident of Al
bany who recently came from Spokane
Falls says the weather there is unpleasant.
ly hot and sultry with nights as bad as the
DAYS. With no water but hydrant water
to drink and that of a very poor quality,
the report brought Is that II Is miserable
place to spend life just at the present time.
WIFE OF FAMOUS FIGHTER Mrs
stevens of the Gr.smer-Davies troup in
Albany several weeks ago was the wife of
the famous prize fighter, John G Heenan,
fact not known by many. She says Xii
rain ought to have won because he treats
his wife well, while Sullivan is brute of a
husband.
:SrILLAMYsTERY.-Th parties wlo left
here Monday to search for George Nutting
returned yesterday. They made a tho
rough search through the country where
he was last seen, and no trace of him could
be found. They consider his disappearance
mystery which may never be fathomed.
