Among the beautiful things of
earth, are the hands that DO
kind and useful acts for all
about them. No eye is so beau
tilul, as the one that drops a
tear of sympathy over the sins
and frailties of the tempted ;
and the sweetest voice Is the
one that speaks kind words to
the forsakeD. These little things
will spring up in your pathway
like amarinthine flowers that
shed their beauty and fragrance
over you. and ever light up the
portals to the grave.-Ex.

WHERE Is ERICSSON?
The Southern Paciiic's Contractor at
Labish Wanted by His LabOreFS.

Fred Ericsson, who has the contract
for filling in Lake Labish trestler
and who is general contractor for all
the grading work between Portland
and Ashland, including the East
Side lines, is in great demand by his
workmen at Labish. He has not
been at the dump for some time,
but promised to be there to pay the
graders a week ago Tuesday. There
are about twenty-five sub contractors
on piece work since Sept. 26th, and
they have completed the stations
taken by them. Ten men have had
their jobs completed and idle since
nearly two weeks. A large part Of
them live in tents and the rains
made them miserable for some time.
Nearly all the men are heavily in
debt for board and supplies aud un-
able to pay until Ericsson appears
and puts up the coin. But Ericsson
does not come. He must be off at
some distance and has left a good
deal to his son and has not learned
of the distress If the men.
1t is to be hoped that this is true.
Young Ericsson has not been on
the work for some time. He had
lawsuit with f. J. Beatty at last term
of court and has not been see.N since.
About 1900 feet of the Labish trest'e
has been filed in and new cedar
piles have been driven the rest Of the
trestle, so that it will be practically
new bridge soon.
The working men are talking Of
resorting to legal means to get their
pay. Most of them are foreigners
aud do not know what to do. Two

at Salem consulting an attorney

BROTHERS DO BLOODY BATTLE.
One Slashes the Other From Ear ia
MCuth-A Fearful Fight.

Alonzo and Richard Swartz, who
live north of Salem, have quite Il re
putation for fighting each other.
Friday evening they started home
from Salem pretty vel saturated
with tbs juice of the corn.
Out about three miles they could
endure it no longer without fight.
They stopped in the neighborhood
Of brother-in law, Frank WanleSs,
and went at it, This must have been
5 O'CLOCK at night and the rain and
darkness covers in obscurity their
fearful combat, to which no witness
has yet been found. Alonzo Swartz
was found in completely collapsed
condition about that time, and
taken into his sisters house. a
doctor was sent for at Salem, and
w. B. Morse arrived at the scene of
the conflict at 1890. He found Lon
Swartz literally full of holes. The
back of his head had fifty holes
picked into it with a knife point,
and three cuts that had to be sewed
up. The great cash tho was cut
from the left ear to the mouth.
The cut went clear through
and a seam had to b. sewed up
across the entire cheek. He was
a sight to see; from ] IS of blood and
being rolled in tn dirt he was al
most unrec ,gnizable, and still badly
intoxicated. Dick Swarts had dis.
appeared. The injured man is eaIl
from loss Of blood but not in any
great danger from his wound. He
has escaped very luckily and mar
rowly.
DICK SWARTS
was evidently badly used up. He
washed himself at Mrs. WanIess's
and wiped himself on an old skirt
which is all blood. stained. He lost
his hat and purse in the fight,
which it appears covered IA great
deal Of ground. They stopped the
horse aud got out at two places to
fight. The third place was half a
mile from Wanless's and Dick had
to almost carry Lon to that place:
They had another round in their
exhausted condition after getting to
the house, while Mrs. Wanless was
getting help. They had at least four
combats in close quarters.
