How ABOUT THATlASome jolly citi-
zens of Salem, among them our friends
John Mimic and Col. Olmstead, took
trip to Yaquina bay few days ago
and shortly afterward they returned
home "sick," they said. Poor fellows;
nobody was surprised that they were
"sick" when it got oat that they were
willing TO give Conductor Kennedy
SO day to go to Salem and teach
them how to play pedro. Of course,they
didn't want the papers to "get onto" it,
but then>you know there is always one
of those ruthless reporters around when
he isn't wanted. Perhaps they will
know better than to play against the
genial conductor again.

EXCITING HORSE TRADE.
Bros. not only conduct a first class
tonsoyial establishment, but also do
quite an extensive business in live
stock, bnt not exactly in the same
manner as did a former fraternai ar
tist who cut hair, shod horses and sold
salmon in the same building. Last
Wednesday L. w. Clopton, who has
been engaged in. teaming on the street
work, concluded he would rather have
one of Ern Cases horses than one of
his, paying the difference of $5 and
taking possession of the horse. Mr..
Clapton was chuckling to himself and
almost feeling sorry for our artistic
friend, when by-stander chanced to
remark that the horse he had just trad
ed for was of no account, and at the
same time making Mr. Case a liberia
offer for his horse. The former trader
then offered to trade back, but when
Case refused to to take the $5 back, a
lively discussion ensued, much to the
amusement to the by-standers. At
the last report Mr.. Case Was in poses
sion of the coveted animal, although
both parties threatened to swear ont a
warrant for replevin. Mr.. Clopton
no doubt thinks he has struck a hard
case, but meanwhile, Ern can be found
ready to wait on customers at the old
stand.
