p The city authorities of Grants Pass hav
!. been troubled during the past week With

. He was insane and was imprisoned TO
awhile, but finally escaped.
The many friends of Mr.. ]. P. McInerny
;, will be sorry to learn that he is confined Il

been more severe, and sno@ aud hail have
heen OF frequent occurrence during the past

, Mr.. 1. H. Taffe, of The Cello fishery,
, is in town to-day. The run of salmon is
not very heavy yet, and the weather must
be warmer and the water higher before
the finny tribe will afford much remunera-
tion for wheels.
In the market of Woods Bros there
was on exhibition to-day the pelt OF a
double-hea led lamb which was born at
Antelope, the present season. The heads

free from the ravages of The insect pest,
and, although two weeks ia the road, are
IN good state of preservation
1t was IN vain that our reporter hunted
high and low for an item in the clerks and
sheriffs Offices to-day. Not single deed
| or marriage license were on tile to be re-
corded, and no new occupant inhabited
the Jail. So, smiling blandly, with shar-
pened pencil in hand, he departed for pas
lures which furnish more copy"

Yesterday noon sixty.siy men belo uging
to the machinists', boiler makers and black.
smiIhs' union walked out of the shops at
Albiua, under orders from headquarters to
strike. The master mechanic knew OF no
grievances among the men, aud presumed
they only acted By the orders OF their su.
perior officers to make the strike general
along the line of the Union Pacific. THIS
will cause no Inconvenience, as other en-
plnyes, not members Of the union, will taks
their places.
Brownsville Times: John Diamond, was
IN the city Tuesday to attend dinner

an invalid for number of years. Mr.. Dia-
mond came from his clam. where CJburg ia
now located, to help raise the first uIli
built on the Calapooia river in Linn countv,
in the year of lslS Those were the times
when he went to Albany, distance of
thrty-two miles, to mail a letter. II you
people who think your lot is'a hard one now
pioneer life. we think you would blush at
the result.
Yesterday morning, says the Heppner
Gazette, between the hours of and IL
o'clock, Mike Dolsn an aged blind man,
residing with John MolalIy, out on Butter
creek, was robbed of $3.50 There was no
one in the house but Dolan when some one
walked in. Dolan spoke. but receiving no
answer, concluded that he was mistaken.
In short time he heard footsteps going out
of the house. 1t was discovered afterwards
that Dolan's trunk had been taken out of
the house and robbed of the money. They
haye some idea who the guilty person Is.
Astorians still entertain hopes of rail-
road connection with the Willamette yal-
ley, to which they have anxiously looked
forward for many years, and tine follow
ing encouraging item is from the columns
of the Astoridn: The railroad situation is
more hopeful than for some time past,
and there is q corresponding feeling of
buoyancy ih the hearts of Astorians. Mr..
w. W. Corey, who has been IN town for
couple of days past, is somewhat reticent
on the question, but allows the inference
to be drawn that arrangements for the re-
sumption of work on the Astoria and
Eastern road will be made at an early
date.
Long Creek Eaqle: The weather expert.
enced during the past week has been dis
astrous to stockmen of all kinds. Reports
have reached the Eagle from several sections
of Grant that owing 10 the limited amount
of hay. cattle have commenced dying. They
have braved the winter storms excellently,
but being poor and weak, many have died
during the past week. Sheepmen, whose
bands commenced lambing last week, have
worked night and day to prevent loss, AMI
will not be increased. Financial distress is
staring some stockmen squarely in the face,
as their bands, which are their only avail
able resourse, will be greatly lessened unless
a favorable change in the weather comes to
their rescue
Something that will bring 10 the recollec.
tion of many the halcyon days of early
youth, when the "school house on the hill"
was the center of attraction, will be enacted
by local talent this evening at Wingate's
hall. The mistakes OF boyhood and girl-
hood, when they ''spoke their pieces" and
butchered that grand poem by Fitz Greene
Halleck, the description OF the death OF the
Greek hero, Marco Bozarris at MIssolonghi,
will be yividly portrayed. 1t will furnish
and entertainment to all; but in
these ludicious presentations it must not be
forgotten that the era of American elo.
luence has passed, and that James q. Per-
,ival, Rodman Drake and Fitz Greene Hal.
eek occupy the first rank as poets.
Mr. Geo. Herbert, who was formerly
sheriff of this county, has a personal
of Francis II. Bowen, and
distinctly remembers him being in The
Dalles during the months of January,
February and March, 1889. He received
/ letter from Bowen, dated at Butte,
Montana, March 80. 1898. in which he re-
Iuests Mr.. Herbert to find out certain
iates in January in which he worked for
in this city. The letter did
lot state that he was under arrest at that
ime; but the inference is that he was.
There cannot be much doubt that there is,
i conspiracy against the fellows life, by
'eason of the reward offered for the con-
'iction of the murderer of Col. Clayton in
Arkansas In January, 1889; but, without
he real criminal is playing part and
Frank Hickey Bowen
here can be no question that the man
inder arrest at Morrilton, Ark, Is as in
locent of the crime as newly-born IN
ant.
