A Farmer Who Would Not Be
Buncoed.

| ouuCO6U.
Albany Herald: Wednesday about
noon Mr.. John H. Wallace, who lives
few miles southeast of Albany was
sitting in the lobby of the Revere
House, when a pleasant appearing
stranger engaged him in conversation
and finally telling him that he was in
town with some leisure time on his
hands, asked him to take a ride out to
the circus grounds. The stranger had
nice buggy and they rode out there,
when the stranger met his "father," an
elderly gentleman, who had 'just come
In from the country to see the circus"
A circusman then came up and inyited
them all In to see the animals. This
was all very nice, and soon they passed
into small tent where there was a man
who said "just to advertise the show"
he was giving away money on the turn
Of card. The stranger drew card
just for fun and drew IS, which was
paid to him. Mr.. Wallace was invited
TO draw one which he was assured
was perfectly free. He did 80, and 80
did the stranger. Both drew a present
of $3.50, but the sharper said they must
both exhibit to him $3.50 each 'merely
as an evidence Of good faith" The
stranger and his "father" dug up the
amount and they tried to induce Mr..
Wallace to do the same, but he has
read the papers and was already look
ing for the tin box needed TO complete
the arrangements. He told the trio he
had enjoyed the ride very much, also
the visit TO the menagerie, but would
just leave the $3.50 to his credit in their
hands, and would call and get it some
other day when he had more time.
The sharpers looked very crestfallen
when he bade them pleasant good.

but Instead OF ceaslnG to fire at the
slxty-foot line, they continued firing
Fat will" In his excitement he ran In
front Of his company's rifles and
mounted the gun. The men
closed In about him, and 1t was
only when he ceased his attempts TO

THE ooRoNsRs INQUEST
Over the Remains of Lieut.. Nelson
Verdict Of the Jury.

The eOroner's inquest at Portland, to
inquire into the accidental shooting of
G. E. Nelson at Gladstone Park was
proceeded with al 10 a. m.
The officers Of the 2nd ReUt. were all
examined until late Wednesday night
and united iu placing the sole responsi-
bility upon General Compson for order
ing the sham battle, all but Major Ev-
erett being absent at the time of the
battle.
Capt. Overman of Albany testified
that his company was defending the
gatling gun when Nelson and his men
stormed it. de (witness) was stand
ing about 10 feet away from the caissOn
of the gun when his attention was at
tracted by q shot fired from Second
regiment man standing about 10 feet
from him, to the left, and close behind
Nelson. The muzzle of the gun was
not more than 10 or IL inches from Mel
sons back and was held low and on q
level. After shooting, the man dropped
the butt Of his rifle and watched the
struggle at the gun. He appeared to
be very much agitated, as if he realized
that he had done something which he
should not have Done. He was about
5 feet inches inches in height, would
weigh probably $50 pounds. and had a
smooth, round face. AS the Second
regiment was leaving camp the same
evening he saw a member of company
A whom he believed was the man who
had shot Nelson, and upon inquiring
learned that he was not a member of
that company, but had been given a
uniform at Salem and taken along to
the camp by the other boys.
Several other witnesses who were at
the gun did not zee the man described.
THE VERDICT.
PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 2.-The cor
oner's jury today completed the inquest
over the remains of Lieut.. G. E.Nelson,
o. N. G., whose death resulted from q
wound received in sham battle last
Saturday. The verdict is as follows:
1--WE find the sham battle was ordered
by General H. B. Compson, commander
of the brigade, who issued orders for the
battle in the face of protests, made to
him by most of the mnissioned off,
GERS under his command, who believed
and stated to General Compson that it
was in their opinion unwise and danger
Gus to hold it. We find the wound was
theresult of criminal carelessness on the
part of the man who fired the shot.
We failed to establish the identity of
the man directly responsible for firing

A PECULIAR BEAR STORY. - Last
Tuesday morning about breakfast time
Billy Palmer and Mr.. Giles, who were
camped on NJ. d. Powell's place aboul
three miles below town cutting grain,
discovered q huge, silver-tipped bear
approaching the camp. Billy discharged
one barrel of his shot gun at him but
his bearship still approached and when
at very short range, Billy let fly with
the other barrel, it did not seem to
check him 10 the least. The bear was
determined to take breakfast with them
thinking, perhaps, that free lunch was
q necessary concomitant Of free trade,
but being q protest Billy did not see it in
that light, and taking stand between
the grub and the bear, he stood with the
empty gun presented. Meanwhile the
bear was approaching nearer and nearer
until 1t was 80 close that Billy put the
muzzle Of the gun In the bears mouth.
1t bit about three inches off the end OF
the gun, or SO crushed 1t, that 1t broke
Off The bear turned and went into
the brush. Billy is doing as well as
could be expected upder the eircum-

OBJECT OF PITY.-There is an old
blind horse running at large on the
county road south of Mary's river that
something should be done with. The
owner Is not known, but should be as
certained and required to either kill the
helpless brute or take care Of II. We
understand that three children feed
and water the horse daily through pity.
The animal is generally standing in
the road and people driving by must
go to one side or the other. The person
who thus treats a dumb brute should
be made to pay the severest penalty for
cruelty to animals. The best that can
be said for such a person is that be
should not be allowed the services Of so
faithful an animal as a horse, and IL is
q deed which would mortify anyone
with the least sense of feeling. - Corval.

Benton county should prosecute such a
case of cruel neglect. Salem has a hu

cases of cruelty aHd neglect and there
should be similar organization In

TARIFF REFORMERS AT OUTS.

The Philadelphia Record is pulling the
Wilson tariff bill to pieces. 1t declares the
sugar schedule is ''loose and impotent
conclusion" and asserts that it was
reached through fear of offending the su-
gar trust on one hand and sugar-planters
on the other. The Record adds:
Had the Committee on Ways and Means not
been wanting in courage they would have put
duty OF at least l cent pound on all imports
FISCAL revenue, would at once have solved the
they have left the burden of the sugar bounty
on the treasury for years to come.
The Record would also restore tea and
coffee to the dutiable list, and thus obtain
$4,000. 900 in addition to the $40, 600 900
from sugar. The Philadelphia paper is
advocating a tariff policy consistent with
the demands of the Chicago platform, but
at the same time one that is based upon
the obsolete theory of taxing articles that
we must necessarily import and removing
or reducing duties on articles we produce
in competition with foreigners. AS matter
of policy there is not much choice between
the purely revenue tariff the Record advo-
Gates and the nondescript tariff the Ways
and Means Committee has formed. But the
Record has the advantage of being in &C.
cord with the Democratic platform, while
the Ways and Means bill is not in accord
either with the platform or with the Amer
lean doctrine OF protection to American
lahor
