A BRIGHT NEWS AGENT.

He Gives SIS in Bills for $50 in Gold
to an Accomm odating Passenger.
A news agent on Wednesday morn
ing's east-bound train No. g, played a
cute trick on an unsuspecting passenger.
He asked his victim to accommodate
him with the exchange of gold for bills.
The kind passenger assented, with the
question:
"How much have yon got?"
''Thirty dollars" responded the in
genuous peanut butcher.
Instead, however, he had half that
amount in bills, which he doubled and
counted so cleverly that he made $50 of
the wad,. and the passenger handed him
the gold and took the greenbacks.
The latter did not discover the fraud
until he paid for his breakfast at the
Bowman House. He then telegraphed
the conductor to interview the news
agent and get the money or he would
have the brave young man arrested. He
received reply that the money had been
secured, and would be returned to him
at Pendleton.
That brilliant news peddler should be
placed in position where he can expend
his genius in manufacturing stoves or

In 1858 when Ben McAtee first visited
Tygh Valley, where he has had his home
since 1865, there was not white settler
in the valley. 1t was the grand rendez-
vous for Indians for hundreds of miles
on every side. There they met for horse
racing and gambling and their own pc
cuiar sports. The tall rye grass, that
covered nearly the whole valley was
eight to ten feet high. It was lovely
spot, an Indian paradise. Nathan Olney
then ran a little ferry boat across the
Deschutes at the mouth of Buck Hollow
and Dan Butler was constable of Wasco
precinct which then included all East
ern Oregon and was precinct of Clack-
amas county.

THAT HASTINGS HORROR.
All the Central Omcfals May BE
dicted as Responsible.

All the Central Omcials May he In-
dicted as Responsible.
New YORK, Dec. 29.-District Attorney
Platt of Westchester county has begun an
investigation of the accident on the New
York Central road at Hastings. He has
resolved to present evidence before the
next grand jury which will probably re-
suit in the Indictment of officials of
the Central system, together with Albert
E. Herrick, the brakeman, to whose Grim
inal negligence the accident was due.
The district attorney expresses the be-
lief that other men besides Herrick are to
certain extent responsible, because of
the alleged altering of tho sched-
ule of trains departing from
the Grand Central station on
the fatal night, without notifying the sta
ton agents at each station that the way
train bound for Crotch had been tahen off
the run that evening. Station Agent De
Laner of Hastings made the positive state
| ment yesterday in his report to the super
| intendent that no one at his station had
any knowledge that the Croton local had
| been taken off or combined with the st.
| Louis express The district attorney will
| continue his work at the inquest, which
! will begin at Yonkers to-day.
| Brakeman Herrick has made state
ment. through his father, that he was tol6
| that 1t was the local and not the express
which was to come first, and that he hat
placed torpedoes on the track and dom
everything necessary to stop the local.

CHURoHILL,s AMBITION.


Diplomatic Service.
LONDON, Dec. 29.-It is stated to-day
that the government has received an init
nation from Lord Randolph Churchill
that he is DESTROYS of entering the diplo-
matte service. 1t is also said that it is
probable that he will be appointed British
ambassador to st. Petersburg in place of
Sir R. B. D. Morier, who holds the posi-
ton at present.
The Standard, while crediting the re-
port, declares that the appointment of
Lord Randolph Churchill to diplomatic
position would be q rash experiment.
The st. James Gazette says it hopes the
scheme will be nipped in the bud, as the
nomination of Lord Randolph Churchill
as British ambassador to Russia would be
great folly.
The Penjdeh incident referred to by the
St. James Gazette occurred in 1886, and is
cited to show the individuality of having
an ambassador at st. Petersburg who has
never given evidence of the cool-headed-
ness requisite to carry on negotiations
| cially since the Pamir question between
that power and Great Britain has
arisen. The Pamir incident is similar in
many of its aspects to the Penjdeh affair,
which came near to precipitating war be-
tween the two powers. Penjdeh is an oasis
in the northwest part of Afghanistan, 100
miles north of Herat. It was an integral
part of the province of Herat, to which it
paid tribute. A conflict occurred in
March, 1885, between a body of Afghan
troops occupying Penjdeh and Russian
force commanded by General Komaroff
which had been stationed on the neighbor-
ing boundary. The Afghans were put to
rout and the Russians took possession Of
Penjdeh. The dispute regarding the Afghan
boundary was at that time being carried on
between England and Russia, and this in
cident added to the complications. The
matter became the subject of special inves-
LEGATIONS, reports and negotiations in st
Petersburg and London, accompanied with
extensive military preparations. The
threatened war was finally averted, but
Penjdeh remained q Russian possession.

MAsSING MEXICAN TROOPS.

The Hot Pursuit of Garza-uatter
Growing Serious.
LAREDO, Tex, Dec. 29.-Last evening
thirty-three carloads of Mexican troops,
comprising about 800 men, arrived in New
Laredo, Mexico, from Saltillo. This seems
to indicate that the reports of advantages
gained along the border by CARA are not
altogether wrong. These newly arrived
troops will proceed down the river at once.
Two more companies of q. S. troops
are expected to arrive in this city. They
will leave at once for the lower Rio Grande
to aid in guarding the Texas frontier from
an invasion by the revolutionists. A rumor
has gained circulation in this city that the
three revolutionists who were captured by
the Mexican troops in the skirmish Sunday
night were convicted and shot. Inquiry
has failed to trace the report to any reli-
able source. Matters are rapidly growing
serious. Considerable uneasiness is ex-
pressed for a company of United States
cavalry which left last Friday for some
point down the river without taking q
guide. Nothing has been heard from
them since their departure.

Efforts of the United States to Save
