GETTING TRAcIc.-Recently we men
toned the fact of Joseph Eagan, the blind
man, once in the marble business in Al
bany, being arrested and fined Sac for
carrying concealed weapons. Now the
other fellow has had to pay the fine. The
Welcome tells about the matter: WI
johnson, barber BY trade, was this week
fined twenty-five dollars in the police
court on three separate charges of mis-
demeanor, and then held in $500 bail for
threatening to kill Mrs Caroline Webster,
the proprietress of a lodging house at 3IS
Couch sheet, Johnson and his wife had
rooms at the house and so did Joseph
ECan, who is almost blind, but with
enough of his sight remaining to see and
worship Mrs Johnson. Egan has been all
too attentive to her for sometime. John-
son last Tuesday started in to extinguish
his rival. He failed to find him but en-
countered Mrs Webster. The troubles in
the Johnson family are of long standing.
Over a year ago thew separated and Mrs
johnson went off with Egan to California
finally bringing up in Portland where he
furnished barber shop and put her in
charge. Johnson soon after returned and
his wife went back on her blind lover TO
her husband, and the past was forgiven
and forgotten. Egan tried TO entice the
woman away but for time failed to do
so. During one of his visits to her John
son discovered Egan, who drew a pistol
to shoot him, for which he was arrested
and fined. Evidently Mrs Johnson soon
after relented her harsh treatment of
Egan and again united her fortunes with
him, resulting in the row of Tuesday last
and Johnson's incarceration. 1t is only
question of time when a murder or suicide
will bring the famil, difficulties 10 a tragic
end.
A QUEER FIND.-George Shutrum con-
cluded that he wanted chicken to eat the
other day, and whacked off the head of the
largest one on the ranch In the craw of
this fowl he found half teasroonful of
small pieces of copper someshat larger
than wheat grain, and worn perfectly
smooth. 1t Is supposed that they were the
ends ofcopper rivets pinched of while the
draper of threshing machine was being
Iivited,a were swallowed by the chicken,
being worn to their present shape by the
action of internal anatomy. The fowl was
just as good eating if 1t did carry copper
mine in its craw.-Pendleton E o.
An IJUsTIcE.-Saturoay the DEMO-
GRAFT referred to the laying of the rails
across the Southern Pacific's track in this
city in way TO infer that it was against
the will of the railroad An s P man
says this does the company an. injustice;
that they were willing to allow it, but
simply wanted 1t done according to their
own plans. The DEMOCRAT wouldn't
even do railroad an injustice intention
ally, and gladly puts the right in tl.I
eyes of the world. But
HALsEY.-At the Pioneers meeting at
Halsey last week foot race was run he
tween Sydney Leeper, of Halsey, and one
of the Cameron boys, of Corvallis, for $50
a side, Leeper winning.

ANOTHER o. P. ITEM.-rhe Staytor
Times says: Manager Hoag has con-
tracted with the Santiam numbering com
pany for 10000 ties to be used towart
putting in thorough repair the Oregon
Pacific road. This strengthens credulity
in the assertion be made last week tha
