1HE COCkROACH.
The Enemy of the West Indian Insect Is
 the Scorpion.

The Enemy of the West Indian Insect Is
 the Scorpion.
 One of the worst enemies which the cockroach has is the scorpion, the lat ter being able to run it down even in the open. It was in Jamaica, West Indies, that the writer, sitting in 8 room, carpeted, as all rooms are in the West Indies, noticed a cockroach crawl ing out from a chink between two boards. Those West Indian cocl1roaches are not the water bug of this state. They are large, loathsome-looxing in- sects, from an inch to an inch and 8 half long, and the curses of the tropics, as they will eat everything, destroying in a short time boots, books and cloth ing, and they leave a horrible odor be- hind them. Its only use seems to be that of a scavenger.
 The particular cockroach in question came most cautiously from its retreat The cockroach was on the forage, and the watcher was waiting until it was far enough from its home to give him some chance of squashing out it's life.
 The chance never came, for of sud- den the roach darted off at full speed, a rate which is by no means to be de- spised, in an almost opposite direction to its home. In hot pursuit was a scorpion, it's tail bent over it's back, go- ing at its utmost speed, which was much greater than that of the cock roach. The latter was soon held in the claws of the former, and sting by the tail seemed to kill it, apparently, in- stantly. It was the first good deed the writer had ever seen scorpion perform, but the good deed of this one did not prevent 1t soon finding a home among some of it's relatives in bottle of spirits.
 It may be interesting to note that scorpions apparently have no power to harm the common fowl Fowls are passionately fond of the roach, and the colored people in their quaint proverbs have these two on the subject: When roach glib party, him neber ak fowls" and 'if roach ever so drunk, him neber cross fowl-yard '-N. Y. Tribune.

THE THIEF DISCOVERED.
], w. Ewes $500 Was Stolen by
a Hotel Porter.

Jno. Dietrich, for some years por-
ter at Hotel Willamette, was az
rested Monday night at a house of
ill-fame charged with larceny of
$500 lost by J. w. Ewes, May 5th,
who had trouble with his wife at
that time in Salem.
Mr.. Wagner had suspected the
fellow for some time of having the
money, and when Sunday it was
given out by Dietrich that he had
drawn $500 prize in the Louisiana
lottery, where he had been investing
his spare change in blanks for some
time, Mr., Wagner located the theft.
Landlord Wagner had also discoy-
cred that he had $500 on deposit
at Anderson's saloon. After notify
ing Anderson 10 hold the money,
they turned the case over to the
Salem police.
ARRESTED.
Marshal Mimic found his man at
Ferry street bagnio. He has been
spending money freely at the saloons
for some time and had been under
the eye of the police. When ar
rested he at first denied the theft,
but after awhile broke down and
confessed the crime. He took the
money, according to his statement,
on the morning after it was thrown
under the washstand, having stolen
it while Mrs. Ewes was out of the
room.
MRS. Ewes
no doubt had the money in her
mind and knew where it was when
she had her husband arrested at the
hotel, but Dietrich got there ahead
of her.
1t will be remembered that Ewes
first deposited his money in the hotel
safe. He then Withdrew 1t ana tooB
it to his room. While on spree il
got away from him. He either
threw it under the wash stand ol
his wife did, and it disappeared
The woman seemed at ease about il
at first, but later disclaimed al
knowledge of it and now appears
innocent, and Ewes was innocent 81
far as hiding it from her.
| Dietrich no doubt got his eyes OF
it when Ewes drew it out of thu
hotel safe and followed it success
fully.
Dietrich was brought before Judg,
Goodell this morning, and bounC
over in the sum of $1,000, to appea
before the grand jury. He is nov
in Jail.
