Too Much FOR WnsoN.--When the
Carter brothers returned to their house
after they had overtaken Wilson in the
road, John Carter sent his brother Pearl
to get the team ready while he went
with Wilson to the house to get q drink
of water. AS soon as Wilson had taken
drink, and while Carter's face was
turned, he darted away like deer.
Carter's story is an interesting one
''Then gave chase and ran about 100
yards. He saw was gaining on him
and turned TO fight. / went in, and we
had it fist and skull for while. had
him down once and tried to disable him
by stamping his head. was satisfied
it was Wilson by this time and did not
care ii did hurt him. | was not armed.
He got my little finger in his mouth in
attempting to arise. was trying to
keep him down and at the same time he
was drawing a razor. / thought / had
better shake him off. This was not so
easy. But with desperate effort freed
my finger and avoided his razor. /
then seized club in retreating, and
turned on him as he closed on me with
an untitled razor. struck him on the
arm and he dropped the razor and ran
again. The arm was broken between
the wrist and elbow. Another chase of
200 yards and he turned for fight again.
Then my brother came up with shot
gun and took it and brought it down
within three feet of his face. fully de-
termined to shoot. But in the moment
ary parley my brother concluded he
could handle him, so he clutched him
and threw him. We then tied him
securely, and he was taken to McMinn-
ville."
A BENTON Go. SUrcIDE.-The Gazette
gives the following account of very Pc
culiar suiside: Friday morning, about
9;3o, Mrs Alice Schmidt, living about
two miles north of town attempted to take
her own life by shooting herself in the
abdomen with 32-calibre revolver. Mrs
Schmidt Is about 10 years of age. She
was married nearly two years ago to Fred
Schmidt, and they at once moved onto a
small ranch belonging 10 Mrs Schmidt,
where they have since lived. Since her
marriage, she has been subject to fits of
dependency and has several times threat
ened to take her life and had even made
two or three unsuccessful attempts to do
so. On this occasion she first tried to
sever the arteries in her wrists with a
butcher knife. Failing in this, she took
revolver and placing the muzzle at her
stomach h8d. the ball entering about I%
inches above tie navel. Her condition as
we go 10 press is very critical; she may
recover but there are many chances
against her. Then, two, she was soon to
become motheE which makes her con-
dition all the more serious, as there is a
strong probability that the bullet which
came so near bling fatal to her own life
put an end to the life of her unborn child.
as the course taken by the ball would be
just about right for such an effect.
ALDRIDGE FINED. Editor Aldridge OF
the Prineville News, was in Judge Deady's
court this morning to answer TO the charge
of sending obscene literature through the
mails. The article 10 question was care
fully read and thoroughly dissected by
Judge Deady. A pars of the matter the
court held to be not obscene, but the sec
ond count was obscene. 1t was language
not fit for use IN any way, or upon any
occasion. II was vile, very vile, and we
are surprised and panied TO know that
any newspaper man would publish such
and thereby degrade and lower this, one
of the grandest professions among all of
the callings. After summing the matter
up, the court ordered the defendant to
stand up and a fine of $50 was imposed d.
This was certainly lenient on the part of
Judge Deadly Daily Dispatch.
YAoUISA BAY.-Just at ihe foot of the
grounds of the Ocean House, near the

Yesterday at = O'Clock the men al the

The LINN county board are exceedingly
slow about assisting in the erection of a
bridge at Mill City. A $1,000 bridge will
be adequate. IL placed above or below the
mill. 1t is hoped that the democratic ad-
ministration of Linn viii combine forces
and capital with the Marion county board
for the purpose of building the mos
needed structure, without any further de
lay.-Mill City Gazette.
Our Marion county exchange seems 70
be very poorly posted about Linn county
politics, though just across the line. The
Linn county board instead of being demo
cratic, is republican two to one.
