two bunches of red currants from the
em of Mr. P Omeg on Pleasant Ridge
hey were clustered more thIckly than any

lie produetiveness of that regioL in this
bunty:
Hon. o. P. Hubbard, the commissioner
to take testimony in regard 10 damage
suffered from Indian depredations, is at the
Umatilla House, and commenced his exami-
nation of with. sses yesterday. He vii
continue until all the evidence is taken o.
persons in this vicinity who have lost prop
erty during the recent IIdian wars.
Willie Crossen, the Telegram carrier,
delivered his papers last night after IL
O'Clock, and early this morning he went
around before persons we're awake and
found several of these torn IN two. This
is mean, contemplate mischief, and Who
ever IS guilty of such acts should blush
with shame.
There are different grades of meanness
in human nature, but we consider that
man has reached the low est depths who
will receive paper from the office OF
publication for seven or eight Years, with |
out reimbursing the publisher ole cent |
for his outlay, and then, as soon as he i: |
sent bill of his Indebtedness, order ii |
stopped without paying up. We have
bad experience with several such, and |
firmly believe they transcend all other |
types of hum n depraviiy.
Tidings: A man who had been in Ash
land tor about u week was found to be in
sane last Monday and was taken to Jack
sonvllle by Constable John H. Real. He |
refused 10 iell his name but said he had |
come from somewhere In Washington
had good job up there, but the Lord cr-
dered him to start out AID inform the |
people that ,hrist was coming again. He |
put the Lord off for few days, but the
Lord sent a million squirrels after him
and he had to come. After he reached
Ashland he must have forgotten his mis- |
sion, for he went TO work cutting wood. |
he has been in the asylum before.
Mr.. J. w. Greenwell. of Dayville, Grant
county, is iD the city. He was enroute to

was in town and induced him to remain arc
give testimony regarding his encounter
with Indians and loss of stock during the |
Bannack war of 1878. It was quite thrill
ling to listen to description OF the fight by |
these two participants. Messrs. Schulz,
Greenwich and party We're surrounded BY
the redskins, and bullets few as thick a
bail around the half dozen men. Mr.,
Schultz was shot through the breast, had
his hat knocked off by a bullet and his
sleeve button torn from his shirt. Another
man by the name of Cummings was shot
through the thigh. They managed to keep
on their horses until they arrived at Can
yon City, although Schultz says his boats
