News Items Generally.
Drunken Indians have not been so con.
spieuous in urban communities DURING
the past two weeks as previously, bot .
few have made their presence observable
in two or three instances. On sunda,
last as people drove toward this city On
the old town road early in the evening
they encountered twoor three intoxicated
siwashes. One Of them was particularly
fiendish In his department. He tried to
lstop buggy in which were lady and
gentleman and came nearly running his
horse into the vehicle. They escaped him.
Meeting another team further down the
road, he tried desperately to spur his cay.
use into that rig, but his horse, which
was running at the time at his best speed
SHE'D and thus averted wreck. Near
the bridge he met two young men on
horseback. lie ran his horse against one
oil theirs and caught the rider by the
coat. The young mans companion drew
revolver. The Indian saw II and, with
desperate oath, warned him not to use
it, at the same time turning his horse
away and speeding down the road. The
Young man shot at the fleeing tough two
or three times. but missed him. 1t is be-
lieved that this is the same Indian who,
between this city and the old town, the
same evening, took little boz off Of his
horse and led the animal away. Meeting
team or two soon thereafter, however,
he let the horse go and it was recovered.
A. X. Winton was In town on Tuesday,
visiting friends and relatives and, incl
dentally, looking for his wife. She left
him about 70 years ago. He didn't care
particularly for the wife, but she had i'm.
portant papers in her trunk that he
needed. He learned here that bis wife
was in Colfax and he straightway de-
parted for that point. Mr.. Winton would
be pleased to locate in Yakima il he can
arrange his business matters in way to
warrant the transfer OF his interests from
Northern California to this place; but
should his devoted wife refuse to deliver
the papers he desires he may be com
PEELED to postpone contemplated invest.
ments till she gets ready to humor him.
She has a friend in Colfax who has a
wife in Walla Walla, and it is barely
possible that Albert r. will be able to
command the favor OF that individual in
his effort to arrange the deal he desires
to make. Failing in that, he has friend
or two in this county who will help him
out OF the difficulty-and there will be
some interesting "reminiscences told of
social life in this neck O. the woods,
should that be necessary, for Mrs. Win
ton played star engagement in this
county. At all events we desire to see
Mr.. w. locate with US, for he is good
citizen, progressive man and valuable
member of society.
A Mr.. Greene, who resides up the All
tapum about ten miles, was in the city
last Saturday with two little boys. While
his team was standing near a lumber
yard on the west side Of the railroad a
train came along and frightened it. The
boys were in the wagon, but succeeded in
jumping out before the team had gotten
down to one-forty speed. The team ran
across the railroad and overturned the
wagon against a tree. smashing it badly.
But the horses didn't stop when the
wagon did. They broke traces and whip
pletrees, barked a shadetree or two and
demolished things generally. On Mon
day team that stood in font OF b. b.
Whites furniture store took fright when
the driver WASN'T looking and dashed
down Second street at a furious speed.
Turning up Walnut street, it tried hard
to smash something, but, failing, it very
gracefully made another pigeon wing
turn, ran into a buggy and tried to upset
it, but failed again. Here the horses
stopped in disgust. Not much damage.
The practice of leaving teams standing
unhiiched in the street will cause some
body to lose life one Of these days.
The quarrel in the family OF E. NJ.
Burch, at Colfax, the Worlds fair COM
missioner, wherein Eugene Burch injured
his aged mother with stick OF firewood
about three weeks ago when she tried to
pacify matters, is assuming the proper
tions OF a public scandal. Commissioner
Burch had written letters from Chicago
to the local papers denying in toto that
the ARRAY ever took place, and branding
the newspa. er accounts Of it as malicious
lies. He calls upon the correspondent
who filed it to make an immediate retrae-
lion. His letters are ludicrous In the
light OF the fact that the whole south end
Of the town heard the quarrel, and no less
than fifty prominent persons Witnessed
Eugene Barch's idiotic performances.
T. K. Beard. of Modesto, Cal, is in the
city looking after his interests. Mr.. Beard
is an extensive raneher in California,
Washington and UmatiIla county, Ore
gon. In formersyears he resided in PEN
dleton, also in walla Walla. He was one
of the first to open mp the Horse Heaven
country and has farmed largely in the
Yakima region.-East 0regonian. Mfr.
Beard visited this city this week. He
came in the interest OF his landed estate
in this vicinity and in Horse Heaven.
DIR. G. ]. Hill. of this city, received the
sad news late last week of the death OF
his foster sister, Miss Matte Pal ner, NJ.
