Ed. Montgomery INDUCED in little
more pistol practice on Monday even
ing at the Maple Shade saloon. 1t
seems that he discharged the weapon
to divert the attention Of a couple of
young men who were engaged in a war
of words. The authorities sought to
make serious matter of the episode,
and Ed. at once made himself scarce.
He didn't relish the prospect of another
term In the county jail.
We notice by the Rural Spirit that
our former townsman, Ralston Cox,
has been indulging his propensity for
seod horses. He has just purchased
from Fred w. Bier the black inbred
mare, Aileen, by Altamont. Cinsider.

''The mare is in foal to Vinmont g.
ye1r-old record 2:2o, son of Altamont.
Name the foal, when it comes, Alta
blood, and if it don't lower Oregon's
|2-year-old record when at that age we
will give the owner a receipt for 5C

Jimmy Hayes can get more enjoy
ment out of little joke than any
other man within the range of oul
k ,owledge; and the other day wher
h E. ioked life-insurance man out c
tel dollars on a sure thing, his JOY
was such it caused temporary heart
failure. Before lie recovered he be
came the central figure in "a large
group of sympathizing friends in front
of bar. A good drink of rye re-
yived him to such an extent that he re-
allied he was getting only II dollar and
six bits in change for his ten, when lie
at once took relapse.
In the publication of the heavy tax
payers OF the county, we, in some man
ncr missed the names Of the bankers.
Job Bros. pay taxes i'll this county on
$26,766. The business of the First
National Bank is an open page, a
sworn statement Of the condition of
this institution being published every
three months. The raid mp stock,
$4,000, is assessed to the individual
shareholders. These figures, Of course
cannot be taken as a guide to the re-
sources of the banks. M. S. Wood
cock, president of the First National,
is individually assessed at $18,9l5.
Nelson Bros, who have for some
time conducted the Wigwam barber
shop, changed their place of business
on Wednesday. Their trade had. in
creasee to such an extent lately that
more commodious quarters became
necessary, and while casting about fo1
a suitable place they struck bargain
with T. C.. Case of the Occidental
shaving parlors and bath rooms, pur-
chased his fixtures, and will hereafter
run three chairs. We understand that
Mr. Case, however, will continue to
preside over one of them. The prices
are, for shaving, l5 cents on week
days, 25 cents on Sundays and holi-
days, and for baths, % cents.
VIM. Grant, of Farfar, who recently
sustained the loss of his fine summer
hotel at that place, was in the city dur
ing the week. Mr.. Grant is preparing
to rebuild, and expects to have his new
hotel ready for the reception of guests
by the time the season opens. Many
persons believe that the neck of land
between Yaquina Bay and the ocean,
South Beach, will eyentu-
ally be the location of the principal
coast city between Portland and San
