lamette is lively nowadays, boats desiring

Ashland Iidin9s: Geo. H. Chick, the |
swindler who imposed on the people of
Med ford, and later bIlked the miners in |
process of reducing rebellious good |
ores, succeeded IN doing business on a |
larger scale at Topeka, Kan, where he |
sold large amount of stock in a concern |
called The Chick Short Method Siive. |

amount of cash, he fled, leaving the stock
holders holding worthless smelter His
victims are now trying to have him ar
rested and brought TO Justice.
A Salem attorney is entitled to the bak-
cry. He succeeded in acquilting horse
thief found with the animal in his pos
session, on the ground that the man stole
the ride and not the horse. The defense |
was that the man while tired found a |
stray horse, borrowed it and rode on his |
way. The jury, which are sometimes |
very strange mixtures, agreed with Law
yer Kaiser and acquitted the man. Ac-
cording to the theory it would be as rea-
sonable to convict tramp of stealing |
train when only stealinga ride, as to con-
vict such man of stealing the horse.
The following is from the Eugene Guard:
The. Portland Daily Telegram OF Saturday
says: Secretary Walpoe states that Sam.
uel Fleming, aged 60, blind. from Zanes-
vile, o., is soliciting and to go to Ashland,

He is professional beggar.' The same in
dividual arrived here on last nights train,
and claims that he has net a cent in the

1t seems that st. Peter, or whoever is
warden at the heavenly portals, left the
gates ajar one day, and little angel babe
found its way to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. ID. w. Aldridge, of Prlnevllle, last
week. This Is the way the editor apollo
gizes for his shortcomings of the Ners
on the OCCASION: "a man who can edit
paper, make up the forms, do the press
work, cook for sick wife, play with
newborn baby and get paper out on
of each week, is man after our
own heart. Our duties recently have been
too arduous to talk about; but sWe get
there just the same'"
