a comparison Of the above with the recent
list of AZ Portland millionaires, part of
whom were given In the DEMocEAr, will
be of interest.
A Brave WoNAN.-Last Saturday |
night about 10 80, while the overland
train was taking water at Myrtle Greek |
station, n couple Of burglars visited the /
residence OF Mr. w V Lippincott, recent
ly station agent at that place but now /
transferred to Medford, whittier his |
family are preparing TO follow. The |
place is isolated, and only Mrs Lippin-
colt, two children and the girl staying |
with her were in the house occupying /
an upper room with the lower sash of I,
the east window raised. Mrs Lipplncott |
heard some one working at the lower
window and got out of bed and quietly |
approached the window, revolver in
hand. She distinctly saw two men at
work directly under her, and without |
any delay she aimed and fired. One
man threw his hand to his shoulder and
cried ~ am hitl" Another sharp report |
and the other man exclaimed 81 am
shot, too" BY that time the house dog |
was on the scene and chased the would |
be burglars down to the river bank
Roseburg Plaindealer.
WANT a CHANGE OF TIME.-A pull 10
made being at Albany to have the Albany
express leave there at a ,out a m, arriving
here at o'clock, instead of 6 a IN, as now.
Salem should and will "sland in" on
move Ike this, for both of the morning
trains are now too early to be of much
convenience to the travelling public. The
overland now passes here at S;26 and the
Albany express about forty minutes later,
and the next train Is not until I p IN. A
request for a change of time, coming
generally from all along the line, would
no doubt received favorable consideration
at the hands Of the Southern Pacific
officials.-Statesman 7 o'clock or even
6:3o would suit Albany people well; but
as a live trade Is done on this train by
taking people into Portland from Oregon
City and beyond for early business hours,
II Is doubted if 'he company consent.
Albany, though, is in for the change.
ASoTnER SNAKE SToRY.-In view of
scarcity If snake stories recently, we give
the following from the Jacksonville
Times: y 5 Drew tells one of the big
gest snake stories that we have ever heard,
but II Is nevertheless true. A boy who
had killed several rattlesnakes on a pile of
rocks near the Hildebrand school house in
klamath county, reported the same 20 Mr.
White, the teacher, who afterward went
out ard killed about 80 serpcnts In 4 short
time. Mr. Bennett joined In the spor, and
he, too, met with considerable succe 5.
About sixty ralt'esnakcs were dispatched
there that day,ard Mr. Drew says that Il
was not particularly good day for snakes
either, nor has there been any whisky IN
sight there for a long time.
WELL kEowS SPRNTERs.-The follow
ing from the Oswego Iron Worker cor
tains names familiar to all sporting men,
the stake holder mentioned being one OF
the fastest sprinters in the world: The
sprinteTs, Post and Shangles, met in
Oswego Saturday last, but even in the
face OF the report that the train was two
hours late refused 10 run here. They
walked to the White House, where they
ran in more mud than the track here
showed. The sprinters started by "mut-
ual consent" Shangles spurted ahead
about four feet and they kept this dis
tance apart until the finish. Somebody
lost on the race. Who the sucker" was
cannot be told. The participants in the
race, there is no doubt, are partners. 1t
was the same old story. Subsequently |
Gibson, the stake holder, and one OF
Shangles' backers,w seen in billiard |
room in Portland dividing the gains.
Crook CoUNTY.-Some two months
Ggo r Logan took 90 head Of horses to |
California for sale, and last week re- !
turned with 80 head, not having found |
market for them.
Billy Ross and Jimmy Woods, the |
two pugilists who are to give an exhibi.
tion in a glove contest here on the 28th,
are both in training, the former at
Antelope and the latter at Abbott's Hot
springs.
Thos Profli had an examination be-
fore the county court last Saturday on a
charge OF attempt to commit rape. Ow-
ing to the failure to get all the witnesses
in attendance, the case was continued
until Monday, when Porfili was held in
$500 bonds to appear before the next
grand jury.-Review.
A RAILROAD CENTER.-AlbanyI reaches
all the surrounding towns by rail. There
is no place where a stage could 60. so
completely does the cars Go the business.
This speaks for Albany as a railroad and
business center. A large number of peo-
pie come here daily to do their trading,
arriving on the cars hence so many teams
are no. always seen on our streets as In
some places as pretentious without rail
road facilities. Stage is an obscure word
in Albany. Several valley cities.
though, continue to mention their differ
mt stage routes.
FINE SHow.-The Moss ollities drew
large house last night. Jollities is a
good word for them. In their very orig
inal program they are high G.. The
great variety OF instruments played on,
from tin whistle to ox's horns lends a
never ceasing interest to the program.
The Nosses were greeted by succession
of encores, showing the delight the audi
ence took in the performance, clean,
fresh affair, that will do any one good
to witness,
CuRcUT CoURT.-Two new cases have
been begun in the last few days, towit
g G Cooley & Co agt w NJ Bolin and Mat
tie f Bolin. Recovery Of money. At
tachment G w Wright attorney for
plaintiff. The Bank Of Scio agt The Ore
gon Metallic Paint Co. On note. Attach
