A LIVELY ROW.
Followed This Morning by a Laugh
able Incident.

A row occurred last night at Wiseman's
saloon wherein Tom Strickland, tough
character, had racket with ''Rocky''
the bartender. He threatened to kill
him, and began throwing whisky
glasses, the cigar lighter, etc., at the
head of ''Rocky'' After being hit twice
on the head, "Rocky" commenced to
get little wrathy and, grabbing a gun,
ran around from behind the bar saying:
"Now you have threatened to kill me, if
you don't go out Immediately I will
shoot you." At this juncture Officer
Gibbons opportunely arrived and arrested
Strickland, taking him to the city jail.
Some time in the night he escaped out
of small hole.
A humorous incident occurred in this
connection. A crowd gathered looking
at the twisted bars and the small hole
through which it seemed miraculous any
ordinary 140 pound man could escape,
and Thos. Joles, believing that holes in
general are larger than they seem,
offered to bet $40 that he could get
through the same hole. The bet was
promptly accepted by w. E. Garrettson.
Joles, who is one of our largest men and
who could get the portfolio of state if he
tried, just for ponderosity, pulled off his
coat and started in. First he thrust one
leg through, which shut out the day
light completely. Then he tried to push
his head through, but the hole was one
size too small. With dispairing glance
downard at his stomach, he wheeled
around and said: t'Take the stakes: Il m

Plans for Good .Time---Circular Asks
for Relics.

The Twentieth annual reunion of the
Oregon Pioneer Association begins at
Portland in June. The circular in ref
erence to the meeting says: 'tPlans are
being made for good time and nothing
but the absence of pioneers will prevent
this being a most enjoyable occasion.
Those who were present two years ago
will remember the special feature of the
evening of pioneer day. The auxiliary
committee of pioneer ladies of this city
are preparing something similar this
year, but even more interesting, so that
those who are not presentiwill miss rare
treat. Reduced rates have been Sc
cured over the Southern Pacific Co.'s
lines, and it is believed that other lines
entering Portland will grant reductions.
Hon. N. L. Butler of Dallas, Polk
county, has consented to deliver the an
nual address, and Hon. Seymour w.
Condor of Eugene, Lane county. the
occasional address,"
The circular further says: "Fellow
pioneers, death is thinning our ranks
rapidly. There are many among you
who have not as yet identified your
selves with this association. You are
earnestly urged to come and have your
name and brief history of your life en-
rolled on the association register. All
who came prior to 1856 may become
members. Let us who survive come to-
gether in our annual meeting to renew
the friendships formed in the times that
tried US, and recall the experiences of
the early days by which it became pos
sible to found great and prosperous
commonwealth-ou own loved Oregon.
Those having relics of pioneer life of
any kind cooking utensils, farming
implements, looms, spinning wheels.
old letters-anything used in pioneer
days or brought across the plains-are
earnestly requested to inform the secre-
tary of the fact, and if agreeable he will
forward blank descriptive circular, by
which history of the article may be
obtained, and also tag which will Sc.
cure free transportation to this city
The purpose of this is to secure s
permanent collection of such articles
for the association, and to make it a fea
ture of each annual reunion. A numbe
of articles have already been secured
among other things wagon that wa
brought across the plains in 1852 will b.

Mr.. W. E. Henrici of Sauvies island,
% miles below Portland, who recently
bought the Rice farm on 15-Mile, will
move at once upon his property and en-
gage in the hog-raising business. He
purposed to ship eight head of stock by
the Regulator at once, which would
have cost less than 50 head. Finding
that the lower boat was temporarily dis
abled, he applied for rates to the Union
Pacific and was informed the charges
would be SO per head. As he considered
this too expensive, he took all of his
stock back to the island, except two
horses, which he was compelled to have
here. Through the interposition of
friend he secured reduction of fifty
cents each on the two, but which yet
rendered the figure excessive. He now
informs the CHRONICLE that he will wait
for the boat if it takes two years.
Mr.. Henrici believes the people of
The Dalles should be proud of their boat
line, and has the highest opinion of the
gentlemanly conduct of the boat men,
''from the deck hands up to the pilot
house," which, he says, is in striking
contrast with the treatment he received
at the hands of the railroad officials in
Portland, who, he affirms, are educated
past the stage which dictates autocratic
boorishness, but do not nevertheless
practice gentlemanly manners.

of injecting medicines and food into

THE course of every projectile
hurled from the surface Of the uni
verse would vary according to the di-
rection of departure. A body thrown
towards the sun-.would simply fall
upon it. A body cast in the oppo-
site direction from the sun would
penetrate far into the depths OF
space, If, by an exceeding rare chance,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune
were not traversing the same path,
thus modifying its course. But al
its return it would be attracted by
the entire solar system instead of by
the sun alone, and would come back
toward the point Of the terrestrial or.
bit whence it started. This would
happen at each revolution, as long as
the earth was not encountered to ar.
rest and terminate its career.
