4 Murderer at Large.

ALBANY, Sept. PA duel was fought
here day or two ago by Jesse Moore of
Berrien county and r. P. Fletcher of
Even county, from the effects of which
Moore has just died. There has been
bad blood between the two men for some
time, and when they recently met, ac-
companied by friends, they agreed to
fight with their fists. After a few
rounds their hatred of each other became
too intense to be satisfied with such
mild methods, and they drew their re-
volvers, when five shots were ex-
changed, and Moore fell mortally woun-
ded. Fletcher was also wounded, but
not seriously, and fed from the state
without delay. He has not been appre-

A Petrifed Woman.

Among the merchandise brought to
town on Saturday morning by the Amer
lean Express company was a black box
abont seven feet long by two feet broad
and foot high, says the Butte Miner.
1t weighed about 600 pounds and it's
contents were valued at $1,000. 1t came
from Helena and is the property of F. A.
Ransem. The contents are the natural
curiosity of Kate Carroll, the petrifed
woman of Arizona She died there in
1862 and was buried, and in 1884, twen-
ty-two years later, when there was occa-
sion to remove the remains, they were
found to be petrified. The form and fea-
lures are said to be life-like, the entire
remains being permanently preserved
without any alteration to the contour.

Mrs. Bernard Beere, the English

BRIEF STATE NEWS.

j. D. Wilcox, of Portland, and Mr..
Jeffrey, from Canada, have purchased
the Todd quicksilver mine, near Oak
land and are operating the same with
very satisfactory results both as to ore
and metal.
The distillery at Medford will COM
mence business as soon as the bonds of
Frank Galloway and J. A. Whiteside,
the storekeeper and gauger, are approved
at Washington and their commissions
received here.
The Toledo coal mine tunnel is ninety
four feet into the mountain, and has
just passed through strata of large
clam shells. The men are now working
through some black slate, and the indi-
cations are that they will soon strike the
coal bed.
Barbed wire on the farm is a fruitful
source of accidents. At Jesse Porter's
farm in Benton county some horses be-
came frightened while grazing in the
pasture, and in their wild rush ran
against the fence. One of them was
killed almost instantly and two others
badly crippled.
The cable and fixtures for the pro-
posed new free ferry across Rogue river
were last Tuesday taken out to the ferry
site by A. Betz. The cable is IA inches
in diameter, the largess ever used in the
county, and will be perfectly safe for
three times the strain to which it is con-
templated it will ever be subjected.
Mr.. j. R. Crosby, who resides on
Upper Crooked river, Crook county, lost

His Fondness for Woman Gets Him
Into Trouble.
HARRISBURG, Sept 11.-There is excite
ment in the Harrisburg police depart
ment and sensation in the town on ac-
count of Chief of Police Weikert's at
tempt to save woman whom he loved
from being arrested. Weikert is big,
handsome fellow, and was made chief of
police in 1888. He is married. For sew
eral years Weikelt has given much of
his time to the entertainment of Miss
Laura Weidman, pretty brunette. The
woman made frequent calls at police
headquarters and passed much of her
time in the chiefs private office. When
a charge of disorderly conduct was made
against Miss Weidman by her boarding
house keeper, Mayor Fritchley took the
matter in hand, and detailed Sergeant
Mccain and two policemen to make the
arrest. She was discovered in house
of questionable repute, and an attempt
was made to arrest her. Before the po-
licemen got her out of the house Wei
kert appeared and ordered the men to
leave. They refused to obey, and locked
the woman in a room to get time to COM
municate with the mayor. The police
men then took her to police headquar-
ters, where the mayor locked her in
dark pen in the courthouse cellar. This
was done while Weikert was protesting
wildly. Weikert continued to make ev-
cry effort to secure the woman's release.
He accomplished this in the morning
after the keeper left by securing a KEY
from the janitor of the courthouse He
unlocked the cell door and set Miss
Weidman free. The mayor discharged
Weikert from the force, and the ex-chief
has left town.
