AT rHE JAZZ. A few DAYS ago couple
case knives were found In Dempster's bed
at the Jail. 1hey had been arranged In
the form of saws, and places were found
where 'ney had been used. Dempster
and Reasouer have been chained together
as they cannot I've trusted The others do
not eviuce any desire to escape. " hitten,
the man who passed the check on Mrs
Cheadle takes things coolly. The old
fellow who tried TO steal Chris Houck's
horse, Is a jolly Kind of a man, aRd says he
was only on spree, which Is probably a
fact. When scLer he says he could not
saddle horse to save him. HIN who
recently returned from trip to the
asylum does not like confinement; but Is
getting used TO what may proye n several
years residence in the PenitentiarY.
LUcKEY LocATED.-The Guard says:
Sheriff Noland yesterday afternoon tele-
graphed Duncan Scott, who wrote the |
letter to George Nelson about having
seen Z K l.uckey at Sacramento, Cal, !
asking for further information This /
morning the sheriff received a dispatch |
from MIR Scott as follows. "Saw Luckey |
at Sacramento. February 4ih. Think /
can locate his present where abouts. B."
Sheriff Noland immediately telegraphed |
Mr. Scott to use all endeavors to locate |
him. II will be remembered that Mr. \
Luckey left here ON the Ist day of Feb
ruary for Portland. IL he left Portland |
Tuesday evening, the I'd, he would have |
been In Sacramento on the date mpntioned. |
AL the conductors on the railroad between !
Ashland and Portland, being well as /
quainted with Mr. Luckey are positive he /
did not go on the train unless he was dis
guiSed.
ALBANY INSTEAD OF RosEBuRo. 1t
hurts the Salem Journal TO give Albany
credit so much that il makes an item
like the following: Citizens Of Roseburg
have unde! taken the work OF organizing
company with n capital OF $50, roo for
the purpose OF erecting a smelter near
that city or at some point in Linn county.
for reducing the mineral products OF tile
Santiam mines. The undertaking is an
important one, and it is TO be hoped it
will succeed. II is understood that
nearly half the amount is already pledg-
ed, and that incorporation papers will
soon be prepared.
The telegraph brings the welcome news |
that a construction train has gone to the /
Oregon Pacific front with force OF men |
TO put the track in thorough repair. it is /
presumed preparatory TO the resumption |
OF the work Of extending the road on over |
the mountains.-Statesman.
AS matter OF fact the construction |
train went to the front to do little re-
pairing so that Manager Hoag could go |
to the front on a special train with an
Eastern man. The road will probably !
go ahead in time, contamination to be
desired; but, as n matter Of fact nothing !
has yet been done.
WANTS BASE BALL BAD.-The States
man says: Ed Lyle, who used TO play
baseball with the Portlands. has written
Salem base ball enthusiasts relative TO the
organization in this city of team with
which to enter the Northwest league for
the coming season. lie says Salem will
have no trouble in getting into the league,
and he believes that with a strong team
Ihis city would be heard of IN base ball
circles during 'o7. Mr. Lytle, with the
proper encouragement, could be prevailed
upon to take the management of the
"Salems, "and with his well known ability
thev could make record for him and Sa-
lem-f not win the pennant. Salem Is
already hungering for base ball, and 1t
would be difficult, indeed, 10 have to live
the season through without team.
NARROW EscAPE.-A man whose name
we did not learn who has been at work
above Scott's mills on Butte Creek,
recently met with an accident in which
he narrowly escaped with his life says
the Silyerton Appeal. His cabin was
in the heavy timber, and large trees
stood near on all sides. He entertained
some fears Of the trees falling when one
day last week his danger was fully real
lied. While in the house he heard q
cracking sound and ran ont just as an
immense fir tree was falling. The tree
came down literally mashing the house
and its contents into the earth. 1t was
a close call.
