Hose Team Drills.

The drill of the team of the hose company
attracts considerable interest every eveing,
and the members comprise some of cur best
runners and most active young sen Last
night, Mr. Geo. Brown, the engineer Of the
fire department, had an old Colts revolver,
the firing of which was the signal for start
ing and also for time to be called and the
test to end In his absent. min dedness he
forgot to pull the hammer up of the old
pistol, in consequence of which he pulled
the trigger without any sound i,eing given,
and the boys had made half th g run befor e
the tirearm was discharged. he watched
matters carefully the next time but placed
the cap on barrel that had already been
fired, and the slight noise made could
hardly be heard five feet distant. The
drills had SO far have been In what are
called the New York test and straight.away

A Serious Accident.

Eugene Guard: An accident happened
at the mill of the Eugene Lumber company
in this city, this morning a''out 8 o'clock,
which may prove fatal. William Edwards
VAS engaged In replacing belt which had
slipped from pulley. The machinery was
in motion at the time thus making the at
tempt difficult one. He used stick in
his maneuvres, the end of 1t slipped and
struck against set screw on the pulley.
The other end was held in such close prox.
unity to his head that the revolutions of the
pulley threw the stick with such great
force against his face as to nearly gou2e his
right eye out of its socket. That portion
of his head about his eye was seriously
cut and bruised and he lay for several
hours in comatose state, resulting from
concussion of the brain. DR.. PANE was
called and did all that was possible for the
injured man but the sight of the injured
eye is probably impaired beyond remedy.
The most serious results will arise from
complication of the brain affection, although
1t ~ possible that he may recover.

A Wild Team.

The Albany Heraid's Harrisburg cor
respondent writes under date of August
2Oth: "On last Saturday Chris Hardesty
started to Harrisburg with his wife in "a
wagon drawn by two unframed bunch
grass bOrses. When they got near the
depot the horses commenced to kick and
buck, and In his effort to try and control
them they broke the lines, which left the
bronchos free and he and his wife the
chances of escaping a horrible death
Mrs. HardesIy jumped from the wagon,
lighting on her side and hip. infiicting
serious bruises. Mr.. Hardestv made an
attempt to extricate himself with the re-
suit of being thrown violently to the
ground, and both bones of his leg broken,
one at the ankle joint and the other about
two inches above. DIR. Hendrex was
called to attend them. and 1t is learned to-
day that Mrs. Hardesiy is suffering Sc
verely and that the extent of her injuries
are not fully determined, only there is no

No Extra Session.
Salem Statesman.


"What Is the prospect for an extra ses-
sion of the legislatur.?' was asked of Gov.
Pennoyer Yesterday.
'Well I guess it may be safely stated
that there will be no extra session. re-
spondei the governor. "Tne members don t
seem to want it. l have received replies
from most of them, and the great majority
are opposed to an extra session to enact a
special stay law. So the ms tier may be
considered off for the present."
The governor intimated that it was Just
as well to drop the proposition for an extra
session Of the legislature, until congress
shall take some action on the money que.-
ton. Without free silver of full legal ten
der he thinks special stay law would be
means of torture IA her than a means of re
lief to the debtor who is weary and heavy
laden.
III congress does not act, said the gov
ernor, '.it may be necessary to call the leg
islature to take some steps to provide work
for honest and willing laborers. 1t would
be poetic justice it we were to send all our
unemployed poor people back east aud com
pei those fellows who have fastened upon
the country the policy that is causing so
much Gistress-compel them to relieve that
Distress" And the old nursery rhyme
about the "beggars coming from town, some
in rags. some in Rags and some in velvet
gowns" came to the mind of the governor
and he paraphra ed-"I would send some
to, New York. some to Boston nd some to
Buzzard's Bay"
While the ,idea of an extra SCI ,sfon of the
legislature Is abandoned tor the present, 1t
is thought not to be beyond tn range of
possibi tiles before next spring. 1t is not
expected to be necessary, however

The following is the weather report TO
the week ending Tuesday, August 22. from
the central office in Portland:
EASTERN OREGON.
Weather-The weather of the pas'
week was characterized by total absence
of rainfall, cool nights and warm sunny
days. The mean temperature ranged from
66 to "a degrees and the sunshine was
about the average.
trops-The wheat harvest in the Co
lumbla river valley is about half over.
The yield so far is well up to the average,
and farmers are pleased with the results
The grain is plump and firm. Grain Is
being stored In granaries to avoid selling
at the present low prices, and secondly,
owing to scarcity of money grain sacks
cannot be secured. The codlIn moth has
done injurious work lately, which Is
shown by the UNUSUAL number of falling
apples. High winds, which oc .urred on
the l7th, 18th and 18th, also shook OH
great quantities; many are being shipped
to market. Dry weather has caused the
grass on the range to fail, and, as con-
stock are not doing well. The
hay crop, with exception OF the second
crop of alfalfa, has been secured.

Bear ON a Rampage.

Sunday evening about 8 o. CLOCK quite a
lively commotIon occurred at the circus
grounds near the depot. 1t was caused
by the escape OF large black bear, says
the Salem Statesman When the beast
found that he was free he at once pro-
cee,ded to chew up small sized CHINA
mon bear which was quite dead by the
time his black bearship had satisfied his
propensity for bears of the cinnamon va
riety. By this time large number of
circus employees and bystanders had pro-
cured an array of ropes, torches, poles
and such other weapons as might assist
In his capture and were right after him.
Before he was captured, however, he sue
ceeded in tearing all the clothes of one
man and causing two men to fall into a
creek, besides affordlng an Unlimited
amount of anxious labor for the catchers
and sport for the advisory multitude of
onlookers for oyer an hour. After his
capture the bear was placed IN his cage,
where he is not again liable to raise such
Cain as he did Sunday evening.

Larceny From a Store.

This forenoon Justice Schultz had an ex-
animation of a man named Thos. Gilbert # r
larceny in house. He was brought t
town last hight by two Indians who found
him near Cello carrying sack iull OF
stolen goods The facts, as we learn them,
are that Mr. j. Fl. Bennett, who has a little
store near the residence of Col. Fulton, al
the mouth of the Deschutes, had been abb
sent from his place of business for several
days, working in the harvest fields of Sher

found the store broken open and set OF

of carpenters tools and enough provis-
ions to last a man about two weeks
stolen from the house. On Monday
he told an old Indian of the larceny, de-
scribiug the goods to him. and asked him t"
keep LOOKOUT for the thief If he went
down the river in the direction of Cello;
and he himself would keep watch in the
vicinity of Deschutes. Yesterday morning
the Indian rode up to the hou-e, and said
he had located the man He had been
stopping IN scow (which had been left in
the river by the telephone builders about a
quarter of mile above the Deschutes), and
hau been overhauled at Cello and some OF
the identical articles found in sack which
he was carrying. Bennett Immediately
started out and followed the fellow, and
came in town last night to procure war
rant of arrest. The old indian was aided
by another aboriginee by the name OF
Thomas Joseph, and after a tussle hey
took the gun from Gilbert and stood guard
over him. About 9 O'Clock the Indians
brought him in and delivered him to the

days ago he came to the scow and occupied

An Indian Murdered.

Alma special: As the result of dispute
between two Okanogan Indians last Thurs
day, Susceptin, young man. was fatally
stabbed and killed The murderer, who is
now credited with two victims during the
past year, upon realizing the result of his
deed, escaped to the mountains we'll armed
and prepared to fight to the bitter end. The
Indians are very much worked up over the
death of their companion, and posse of
six mounted policemen are out now scour-
Ing the country for the murderer, who prob.
ably will add several more ''good Indians"
to his list before succumbing. Su>ceptin
was son OF the celebrated chief of the
same name. The general sentiment is
one of relief, as he was considered a bad H.
dian. He leaves a wife and one child. He
holds a good ranch in Toats coulee, on an
allotment in seyeralty from the government.
