| AN ALBANY MAN In ir.--Last Tuesday
Williem westial, formerly Of this city, a
son Of L NJ westfall. shot man In Pen
dleton. A private letter states that he
acted IN self defense, Is out on 5000 bail,
and will be given preliminary trial on
Monday. The H.. o. gives the following
account OF the affair: Philip Craig, a
we'll known Pendleton young man who
haq been employed In the Union Pacific
rouud house, was shot this morning nj
half-past two o'clock by gambler and
"ronndern named William Westiall. The
affray took place In the Germanla saloon
and happened so luickly that few pres
ent could tell how IL occurred. A blow,
scrlmmage and i,istol shot--the report
nearly clearing the room OF non-com-
batants, who skurrled 10 places OF safety
Ia wounded man, the saw dust on the
floor dyed darkly red with pools OF blood,
and the affair was over. II appears that
CEaiy, westfall aud another gambler. Ed
Dolsen, were enjoying "quict game" o.
cards in the saloon. A dispute arose
over some trivial matter, and hot words
ensued between Craig and Dolsen. Some
remarks applied by Craig 10 Dolsen West.
fall supposed were intended for himself,
and replied by beratlng Craig. The lat
ter who Is hot-hcaded, responded with
q blow. Craig Is a tall, powerful man
and Westfall small, stoop shouldered
individual, 80 the gambler doubtless
sought TO equalize matters by pulling a
gun. Craig seized him, grabbed the
hand that held the weapon, and partly
bore him 10 the floor, just as Westfall
pulled the trigger. The combatants were
struggling together, Craig endeavoring
TO wrest 'he pistol from WestialPs grasp,
when John Durham appeared, separated
them, and placed Westfall under arrest.
A later paper says Craig Is feeling Ia
good spirits, seems 10 be doing we'll, and
indications are that he will recover in
due time,
An IMPORTANT SuBJEcr. Tho articles
in the uregonian ON street pavements
are exciting considerable interest in Al
hany, where that will soon be an absorb
ing topic. Another writer glands up for
brick for paving and says: When the
OregoniAn publishes a tatement, which
reads: Brick is fair cheap pavement
for village streets, but Il would never do
for Portland" II must be admitted that
the oregonian is either igno.ant Of the
subject under discussion, or, rs Mr. VIC
Cassell seems 10 think, working Gin the
interests OF asphalt" Brick is not an
experiment for street. paving, In Europe
they have been used for century at
least In Holland especially brick pave
ments are used very extensively.
Amsterdam, compared with which Port
land, Is only q village, and Is paved
al al A.
common hard building bricks at that.
The street running from Utrecht TO
Gonnighem IL twenty-seven miles long,
and Is paved entirely with bricks. The
wea- and tear on the business streets OF
Amsterdam is probably ten timesgreater
than IL IL in Portland, and yet many Of
those brick pavements have been down
over fifty years without showing any
great signs OF wear. Vilrlfied brick, too.
is far ahead OF the brick used there.
LEBANON AND LIcKSsEs. - Lebanon
has been having siege with the license
question. Under the old ordinance pc.
ltition signed by the citizens of the city,
containing more names than any femoi,-
STRANGE, was necessary. IL was asceFtained
that the remonstranee for a license being
applied for worid be decidedly IN the
majority, and Lebanon would be without
= saloon. The city council gave flank
movement Tuesday night by repeating
the ordinance 80 far as the petitioa was
concerned 20 that Il Is only necessary 10
appiy to the eouneil Without u petition.
As II Is license eouncil this will result
In the Continuation Of the saloons. The
remonstTators, I, Is said, will contest the
action OF the council. Intense feeling
prevails over the mater.
