ExGov. Moody is in the city.
The wind and rain Yesterday sprinkled
the sidewalks and streets with leaves.
A cool breeze blew this evening, and this
was evidently an introduction to wintry
weather.

of rain fell. and this morning the air is
balmY and spring.like.

apparatus arrived in Fossil last Friday, and

Mrs. Chas. Stubling has ripe raspberries
on the vine, and these are of most desira-
| BILE quality. Can this be exeelled anywhere?
Mrs. Stubling has some of these vines on
sale, aud this would be a good variety TO
plant, and this is the proper season OF the
year.

stroyed.
Mrs. Chas. H. Lombard, a highly re.
| spected lady of Portland, ended her exist
ence last night by shooting herself through
the head. The cause of the act is not

entity of the most harmonius nature, and
she appeared to be loving and afectionate
wife.
The picture of Burdette Wolf, the cruel
murderer of Miss Birdie Morton at Mt.

A very spirited runaway occurred this
morning about o'clock, and two frightened
horses ran up Court street to Third and
down that thoroughfare at break-neck
speed, with the forward running gear of
wagon att4ched. They had left the other
portion of the vehicle in their fight several
blocks behind them, and only seemed anxs
lous to rid themselves OF the forward
wheels. After running themselves nearly
down they were caught in the outskirts OF
the city and returned to their owners,
bruised about the limbs but not seriously
injured.

Antelope Herdld: All the hills add dales |
are now covered with a heavy robe OF |
beautiful green grass. Never was this part |
of the country in SO prosperous condition
as 1t is this fall. There Is any amount of
fine bunch grass, and splendid water; sheep |
cattle and horses are rolling fat; an immense
quantity of hay has been put up for winter,
which will be proof against hard storm;
the sheep men and stockrnen have money |
and are all happy, and in short, Antelope
and the country tributary to it was never
in better condition than it is right now.
Baker Democrat: Deputy Sheriff s. D.
McCauley, of Dayton, Wash, came down
from Huntington last evening at which
place he found the man for whom he had
warrant of arrest and brought his prisoner
TO Baker City for confinement in Jail await
ing q requisltion from Gov. Pennoyer which
he expects will arrive to-day. The man ar
rested is William Robertson, young man,
at one time a well.to-do farmer IN the COM
munity where he lived. but of late he has |
been gong from bad to worse. The charge |
against him is obtaining money under false
pretenses.
For the past two nights the hoodlums OF |
our city have been rampant. and gates have |
been removed, nuts taken from wheels and |
other mischief done. This morning the |
cart of the Columbia Packing Company was |
found on the bank of the river, having been |
taken there by some boys, the nut of an ex.
press wagon removed, and citizens were |
forced to hunt up their garden gates. To-
day is Halo Ie'en, and the hoodlums have |
been anticipating the event, and indulging
In their fun premsturely. A joke is joke, |
but some of these tricks are OF too serious |
nature to be passed by unheeded, and ii
continued some of the perpetrators may |
have to answer in the courts.
