LIB'E IN THE w HST.

Farmer Joseph Sutton, four miles from
Milton, was offered $4,000 cash for his
place, which was accepted, and the deed
was to be closed and the money paid on
the following day. Mr.. Savage. the
buyer, was on hand promptly, and with
Mr.. Sutton started to Walla Walla,
where Savage kept his money in the
bank, as he said. Near the Tum-a-ium
river they overlook man carry ing tin
box. The stranger was invited to ride,
and on the way Savage placed 81, 600 in
the box, requesting Sutton to put in
$500 to bind the bargain and retain the
box and contents in his possession, Saw
age agreeing to be at the farm early the
next morning with the balance of the
purchase money for the place. 1t is
needless to add hat the purchase money
never came again, and that Mr.. Sutton
has learned costly lesson that any
g eewsboy who reads the papers might
have taught him for four bits. The de-
scription of this bunco outfit Is the same
as that of the gang who iieeced farmer

for $4,000 damages for alleged libel.
They have been enemies for many years.
The impression is prevalent every
where that girls are scarce in Oregon
and hard to get, says the Statesman.
But up in the mountains east of Salem
can be seen picture that would please
the eye of any one and be n convincing
argument that the girls of o regon are
the best girls in the world. The particu-
lar locality referred to is Cedar camp,
about thirty-fve miles east OF Salem, up
in the Cascades. This is shingle camp,
and its situation is in the idst of n
dense cedar forest, Three of the shingle-
makers employed in this factory are
pretty young ladies, who WELD the
drawing knives and turn out their 1000
shingles each per day.
Indian Agent Cole. backed by com
pany of forty soldiers from the Moses
reservation, is now at Lake Chelan for
renegade Indians from the vicinity,
says the Waterville Immigrant. About
year ago . white man named La
Chapelle filed homestead on quarter
at the confluence of the Columbia and
Chelan rivers and attempted to live on
the place, but was driven away by Gull
tus Jim and lot of Cultus' followers.
His cabin was torn down and the si-
washes thought they had him scared
off. La Chapelle didn't get mad and
go to shooting. He was too longheaded
to jump in and become the subject for hi
larious scalp dance and an unsatis fac tory
corener's inquest. He knew he had
Great Father at Washington city, and
to him he sent some harmless looking
affidavits setting forth the facts of the
case. The result is that the war de-
partment took its eyes Off the Behring
sea dispute long enough to detail troop
from Fort Spokane to put Cultulas James,
Crooked Mouth Bob and other rene
gades on the reservation where they be-
long. LaChapelle and family are now
on the disputed quarter, while the cul.
tured Cultulas is in hiding from
the soldiers. The troops will reuain at
the lake few weeks and put matters ON
dians are the only ones who have any
right on the lake, as they have severed
their tribal relations and become citi-
zens. All the others will be driven back
to Mispeel and herded there.
Oscar Brown, of Eunumc.aw. King
