by John Hendell, the proprietor of the

ton until O'Clock, when Hendell de-
cided to close the house and ordered
his patrons out. This was disregarded
by the now we'll intoxicated men, who
desired to continue the drunken frolic
till daylight. This led to an encounter
between Hendell and Hallstrom. The

toll. At the same time Louis Schroe-
der, an attache Of the brewery, also ap-
peared ON the scene with gun and
both he and Hendell fred q shot each

Three horses, Misty Morse, Rosebud
and Broadwater, belonging to X. E.
Bybee's estate, near Salem, Marion
county, have been sold to San Francisco
parties for $4,000. The Salem States
man says: Since the death OF Mr.. Bybee,
Mrs. Bybee cannot take care Of the breed
ing farm with some eighty horses on it.,
and it would be out OF the question for
her to attend to the business on the
circuits. She must therefore dispose of
the horses to her best advantage. This
will break up breeding career that be-
gan thirty years ago, when Mr.. Bybee
as boy, used to ride horses for his
father on the farm below Salem.

About 3 o'clock Thur1isy afternoon a
building at Kootenai, Idaho, occupied by
family named Graham, caught fire and
was totally destroyed. Alex Mckay was
burned to death. Mrs. Graham FIRST
detected the fire. She left the house and
went to q cabin near by, where Mckay
was asleep. He returned with her to
the burning building, in his endeavor to
save as much as possible for the family,
threw some Of the bedding, which had
caught fire, down the stairs. The smoke
became 80 thick that Mckay became be-
wildered. In trying to get out of win
dow he fell in an unconscious condition,
and burned to death. Nothing was left
OF the man but the skull and one or two
of the larger bones. The family, which
is large one, was left in destitutelcon-
dition. The generous citizens OF
Kootenai raised large sum of money,
besides clothing and furniture, for the
family.

THIS AND THAT.

Benevolent old gentlemen must be on
their guard. A pretty girl approached
an elderly man in Paris and in tone
calculated to melt the heart of any male
thing on earth asked for aims. The
old gentleman took out his purse, selected
a coin, gave it to the girl and put the
purse back IN his pocket. The girl fell
on her knees embraced the man, seized
his hands in one of hers, smothered them
with kisses and with her other hand
deity distracted the purse from the
pocket in which she had seen him place
it. They certainly "do manage things
better in France"

The body of man 90 badly decomposed
~ to b absolutely unacceptable Was
found floating in the Duwamish river op-
posite the race track at about O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, by IN employe Of
shingis mill Who was booming shingle
bolts in the river. The corpse was drawn
ashore and Coroner Horton summoned.
After making an examination the coroner
decided 70 hold no inquest.
The body was taken to the county farm,
and unless some clue to its identity is
found it will be buried there today. The
coroner describes the man a. having been
feet 10 inches in height. weight about
-f65 pounds and probably DARK complex
toned. He Vas dressed In q dark brown
coat. striped trousers and wore no vest.
outing shirt. and around the neck was .
blue silk Winsor tie. The shoes were coarse
workingman's Dxoguns. In his pockets
were found an old razor and
. purse filled with buttons and needles.
There was nothing about the clothes or in
the pockets to identity the man, sud he
will in all probability Be forever unidenti-
fed. The body was horribly decomposed
and the face was entirely unrecogniSable.
The only sign Of beard or hair was . small
TUT Of dark hair behind one ear.
The coroner thinks the body had lain in
the water for at least three months. but so
far as he is aware no man has disappeared
within that time with whom the dead man
could be identified.
