| who left here for Pendleton In about 1879
and afterwards located In Seattle; Th'
hearing In an interesting and sensational
contest case was begun today In the lanS
Office here. Joseph Teabo, half breeC
Indian, one OF the best educated ant
clevercst among the Puget Sound Indians
Ia charged by Charles Jackson, an ole
Indian, with having fraudulently obtalnet
possession of his homestead by authority
Of a forged relinqulshment. Jackson iol
many years lived on his homestead a
Port Orchard, very close to the site OF the
new navy yard. A year ago last July
Jackson and lot OF Indians got drunk

drove him of. Teabo had previously OBJ
tanned deed for ten acres of the land, and
the deed was set aside by Judge Denny,

and Fred Page Tustln, a lawyer, To de-
fraud old Jackson out OF his property. The

site and Is worth $1,000,
A BIoAMisr.-The following f,om the
Eugene Guard Is another example of the
kind of men sometimes met here, and Is
another warning for women to keep their
eyes open and not marry strangers with
concealed biographies: Much to the sur
prise of number of Eugene people a
complaint was received here Wednesday
from Minneapolis, Mimi, 10 be served
upon one, Samuel Sills. who has resided
here for the past three years, his first wife
having instituted divorce proceedings
against him. The complaint charges
willfu dcsertion Tor the period of three
years. stills has a young wife here, whom
he married at the age Of fifteen wears, about
three wears since In the state Of Washing
ton. After the papers were served on hi m
by an officer Sills skipped the country,
te,lin his folks that he intended going
Eas and "hxing" Il up with his first wife.
Sroop UP.-Saturday evening, about s
o'clock, Mr. Wheeler, an employe in the
Red Crown Mills, was going home, when
on crossing the foot bridge ON First
street, over the ditch leading to the Red
Crown Mills, q man stepped out from
behind the hedge along the bank.
"Stop"
"What do you want"
"Your money" said the stranger.
81 haven't any money" remarked Mr.
Wheeler, and jumping to one side ran at
full speed through the muddy street.
The man did not follow him. A couple
evenings previous Laport was ap-
preaching the same place when n man
stepped out evidently for the same pur-
pose, Hearing some one coming along
the side walk he disappeared in the
dark. His conduct showed what he in
tended to do; but Mr. Laport saw him in
time and refused TO get any closer.
We GET MLxED.-In this vicinity there
are families of the name OF Irvine, living
and Irwin; for instance, ] NJ Irving. Of
Albany, DIR S q Irvine, OF this city and s
q Irwin, OF Newport. There are Meyers,
Movers and Myers; there are Smiths,
Smyths and Schmidts; there are Millers
and Muellers, HofFmans aud Hutfmans;
Houstons and Illusions; Reeds, Reids
and Reads, Chamberlains and Chamber
lins, Dannals and Daniels, etc, each
probably descending from the same an
cestors. With the assistance OF their
typos the newspapers generally get
mixed on them, and is it any wonder. II
takes a genius to keep track OF proper
both in spelling and pronouneing.
Forty YEARS AGO On Nov. I6, 1881,
Rev s 6 Irvine, then a young minister
Just from New York, by way Of the Pan
ANA Canal, having just come from Port
land, where he was landed,in n river steam
er as far Is Sa.cm, on q wagon to the
Sanliam, and thence on foot, delivered lis
first sermon In Albany. /, was In the
building opposite the simpson wareho use,
NOW owned by J II Upham, and then in
complete. About tWent y-fivr people we re
present, only about four of whom are now
alive. Yesterday DIR Irvine again deliy-
ere the same sermon. or rather extracts
from the sermon with the text from Amos
In connection with Il he made several in
references to the early history OF
Albany. Forty wears Is a long time to
preach In one place; but DR. Irvine Is more
in the hearts of the people here than ever
before.
GETTING PERsoSAL.-A Salem paper
and Roseburg paper have been quar-
reling. Finally the latter after search.
ing the dictionary, gets off the following
about the bright, but aggressive Capital
paper: The Limburger Liar who per-
vades the Evening Capital Journal, and
contents himself with stinking and con.
tradicting, is informed that when the
Plaindealer affiIms or denies statement

that can be said" on the other side is to
say nothing. Let the crooked-mind,
sneaking Dutch excuse for an ordinarily
intelligent German citizen and scholar
put that in his pipe and smoke il.
A PAPER WITH NAME All papers
have some object in view, principally
making living. II was left for the
cap the climax. Its motto Is. "God help
states that it is OF the people, for the
people, and TO be paid for by the people,
and its object is to live in pomp and
Oriental splendor- 1t supports Susan b.

THE LEBANON DITcH.-Mr + O'Con-
ner, civil engineer on the Lebanon ditch
wss in the city today. He reports work
progressing well considering the state Of
the weather. Three or four weeks oI
first-class weather would complete the
job. Yesterday Sheriff Scott made an
attachment on Mr. Prices tools and
imnlementa on behalf Of n Portland
creditor; but the matter was satisfac
torily arranged, and will not interfere
with the work.
To ASSIST THE APPETITE
Bird ot two meats-the brown, the white
Which like the dual tribes unite,
And in single body run;
OF tints diverse, in substance one.
Hail to thy bosom, broad and puffed
| Plump as maiden's cotton stuffed.
Hail to thy drumsticks, ,dainties fine,
That served az "devils" seem divine!
Hail to thy sidebones rich morcaaux-
And thy ecclesiastic nose,
Which, to the laws or order blind,
Nature has queerly placed behind.
