| Two OREGON MuMMigs. - Monday
afternoon and today u steady stream of
visitors climbed the Peadleton Savings
Bank stairs and .ramred Into the Office VI
Drs Stubbs and Morrow. rhe objects OF
attraction were Two very singular speei-
mems secured by DIR Morrow In hunt for
relics at an old Columbia river Indian
graveyard.
One Is the body OF an old mar. complete
~ mummlfed by the drying action OF the
sand IN which Il was buried. The body ls
lveritably twisted into bust, af.d the aiti
tude of the limbs, ,as we'll as the exp cssion
OF the face, which is one Of dumb and alb
ject misery, indicate that the unfortunate
died In great agony and was buried In the
came position he had assumed when re-
lieved by death. The legs are doubled |
nearly 10 the breast. The left arm reaches |
under the right leg and to the shoulder. |
where Il meets the other arm. the hands |
being ciasped In seeming suppllcation for |
J relief. The flesh Il dried 10 the bones. and |
the entire body II In a state ot perfect |
preservation. No clothing remains except /
a pair OF old-ssylc raw-hide moecasins,
which cover the feet. On the whole the |
eurio is certainly interesting. not only be-
cause OF Its peculiar preservation from |
decay, but from the attitude. The man |
was evidently very old. The scalp Is par.
TALLY covered with hair. part Of which u ,
giay, and the teeth are those OF an aged
person.
The other person Il the body Of child /
seven or eight years old, similarly rresei v.
ed, and wrapped In calico cloth. Under
meath the clothing, on the breast was found /
a deck OF playing cards. A bow and arrow
and whip we're wrapped on one side Of |
the body, and bunch Of while ribbon
decorated the breast.
The doctor was offered and refused $500
for the two specimens. .-PendleIon Z. o. |
DROWNED ~ rug wILLAMETrG.-YeA-
terday morning Chas o Hurlbur, and n S
RobinSon started down the liver IN can
vass boat, trout fishing. When nsar the /
mouth Of the Mckenzie river, about six |
miles north Of Eugene, they took the
east channel and came out In an eddy, |
when the boat drifted against the swlll |
running current cf the Willamette, over
turning the boat. Mr. Robinson finally |
reached shore IN an exhausted condition,
but Mr flulburt was drowned. The sur
vivor says that when the boat eapsixed /
Hulburt caught the boat and was clinging /
70 u wnen he last saw him. However, |
while swimming out. he heard the un-
fortunate man cry Out twice. After |
reaching tho shore he made a search for /
his companion, but without avail. This |
was probably , O'Clock. Hulburt was a /
good swimmer. The body had not been
found.-GuaFd.
Co.'s TRouBLEs.-WhiIe at Yaquina |
City on Monday we went to our old Office |
10 obtain some material we left there,
l4n~l lmtt
we needed IL. We found the house, IL ID |
true, but what n wrecks Every light, II
we remember rightly, was either broken
out or shattered, and some OF the sash
torn out. A number OF large Office lamps
which we left intact and In good order
had been mashed to pieces; files OF the
Register from 1868 10 1882, bound and
unbound, had disappeared entirely, as
| well as material more or less valuable
used in q printing Office. The thieving
rascals not only stole everything IN sight,
even taking of the catch-lock from the
front door, destroying articles they did
not care to carry away, but the fiends
shot the walls Of the Post building full Of
holes. and from the indications they tried
to cutand pull the house down, regardless
OF taste or expense. Post.
EYES OPEN Now.-One OF the greatest
frauds In the world Is the eastern insur-
anee agency, which places extra hazard
ous risks, that no sane local company In
the world would take after inspection, IN
Pacific coast companies, too far way to
inspect matters themselves In most
cases there Is a FIRE, but the eastern
agency has received It's commission on .
big premium. and that Is what It Is after.
Two or three Oregon companies got bit
In live manner, but their eyes are open
now and they are coming out all right.
WANTS TO KNow.-A subscsiber, who
carelessIy neglects to sign his name, writes
, us asking II there Is any difference between
"six dozen dozen" and shalt dozen doz.
en-" and II so, what Is the diserences The
expression, "a dozen dozen" means twelve
dozen, or I44. The expression, asix doz.
en- Dozen" is equivalent to seventy-twc
dozen, or S64 .Half dozen dozen"
means six dozen, or "a. Hence the diff
erence between .'six dozen dozen,n and
"half dozen dozen" is the difference be.
tween s64 and "a, or 7e7.
A BIRD sToRY.-A few days ago Mr. M
L Williams, residing across the river in
Benton county, found quail sitting on

catch the bird. Under her were fourteen
eggs, almost ready TO hatch. He took
them all home, placed the eggs In nest
in cage made for the purpose, set the
quail on them, and each egg hatched out
aquail, fourteen in all, now doing well,
though in captivity.
