A Hon TONED INDIAN.-Yesterday an
old Indian Of the Siletz reservation was
in the city. A prominent citizen who
had known him for good many years,
shook hands with him and treated him
very nicely. In the evening, thinking
he might do him a favor he invited him
home and was bringing him out his sup
per for him to eat on the porch, when
the red man said, "You think me dog, 1
no eat out doors, eat like white man."
The citizen had intended 10 give hi m
lodgings in his barn, but instead he point
ed towards the gate and told the Indian
o"get".
Mills HELD.-The case OF the State
against John Mills at Harrisburg yester-
day afternoon resulted in the defendant
being held to await the action of the
grand jury under $500 bonds,wiich were
furnished at once. The quarrel between
Mr. Mills, who has n part OF DIR Davis hop
yard rented and Virgil Davis, occurred at
the hop yard, and both men were in it.
Mills secured monkey wrench and used
it on Davis, which resulted in his arrest.
Deputy District Attorney Wyatt appear
ed for the prosecution and Hon w r
Bilyeu for the defense. The examination
attracted considerable attention there.
PROBABLY THE DEFAULTER.-The Flor
ence West says. "Last week we spoke
OF the mysterious upturned boat found
at the mouth Of the river. The parties
who left Florence in the boat have not
showed up as yet, and from information
CLEANED since our last issue we can al
most definitely state that they were de-
faulters and not health seekers as they
palmed themselves Off to be. Some few
weeks ago at Tacoma the Fidelity Trust
company Of that city was robbed OF
considerable sum OF money by one Al
bertson, an employe Of the establish
ment. From marks and partly erased
names found on linen wearing apparel
left at the Florence hotel,it is quite con-
elusive that one OF the two who go mys-
teriouslY disappeared is Albertson, and
that they are now seeking means Of es-
cape along the coast"

portunity to secure factory for chilled
plows. This is just what the city needs
