len, who lives on Birch Creek, above
Pilot Rock, was burned so badly,
Saturday, that he died after two
days of awful suffering, says the
Pendleton r.. o. The little fellow
was playing in IA shop near the
house, where no one thought that
danger could befall him, when sud
Mr.. Boylen was Mortified by the
piercing screams of his son. He ran
hastily to the shop and found his
poor boy wrapped in flames. He
extinguished the fire as quickly as
possible, but not before his son was
fatally burned. 1t is supposed that

some matches and lit them in such
II manner as to set fire to his cloth
ing. His parents are griet-stricken
over the fearful accident which re-
suited in the death of their boy.

CONFIDENCE GAME. Quite a
smooth confidence game was at
tempted i'm this city this morning,
which was nipped in the bud by
Mr.. :. +. Friedman. a couple of
Capital Adventure company, on
Court and Liberty streets and said
they wanted to purchase a cheap
comforter. Mr.. Friedman finally
sold them one for 81 25 which was Il
bargain at 81 80. Mr.. Friedman
wrapped up the purchase, when one
said to the other that he only had
25 cents. Stranger No. said:
"Here, | will loan you S1.0O," and
the two together paid the Sl.25.
They asked permission to leave their
purchase at the store until they
went around the city awhile, and
started to leave the store.
When the door was
reached they stopped and talked
together second or two, when
stranger No. came back and said
to Mr.. Friedman, "let me have that
dollar we paid you for little while
and | will pay it when we come
back after the comforter" Mr..
Friedman did so, keeping the COM
forter and the remaining twenty
five cents however. The strangers
left the store together and in about
two hours afterward stranger No. |,
came back, picked up the bundle
and started to leave when Mr.. Fried
man reminded him of the fact that
one dollar was yet due on it.
stranger No. |" said did not | give
you $l.25 for this. You let the other
fellow have the dollar and | am not
responsible for that. Mr.. Fried
man at once saw that he was
being worked by cofidence
game, and said to the sharper,
"you pay me that dollar else | will
turn you over to the city marshal"
He had no sooner said the above
sentence than the gent suddenly
disappeared out of the store and Mr..
Friedman is now just % cents
ahead. 1t will pay to keep II sharp
lookout for such sharpers, as they
are around when we least expect
them.

Councilman LAHORE moved that

governing the motor line and to be

committee to whom the petition
was referred, from the said line.
Skinner seconded the motion, and
it looked as if all would 90 well un-
til Councilman Strang sprang up
and in u neat little talk expressed
his opinion that the motion was a
hasty one, and he did not believe in
railroading any bill through, and,
as he was on the committee, he
respectfully asked the mayor to re-
fuse to entertain the motion.
LAHORE insisted on his motion and
the mayor was about to present it
to the council when Councilman
Strang again gained the floor and
said as the report was yet in the
hands of the committee he could
not see the right of such IL motion.
Mayor Williams, however, put the
motion before the council and those
who voted in favor of it were Hirsch,
Collins. LAHORE, Skinner; againt it,,
Strang; absent Farrar and Bush.
Considerable confusion was pre-
sentable, and several motions were
made for adjournment, which was
entertained by the mayor.
