strange that he, lost his way between tn,
Houck farm and where Mr.. Bradley lives
as the two places are but short distanc,
apart. 1t is feared that he met with ser
ious accident of some nature.
Mr.. VIM. Synder, an old resident of The
Dalles, returned yesterday from years 70
journ at Salem, where he has been undel
the especial guardianship of the warden Of
the penitentlary. 1t was proved IN the q

sold liquor to Indians IN this vicinity, and
the judge very wisely considered that a
twelve-months' sojourn at the penitentiary
might be beneficial to his shattered health.
For this length of time he has obeyed the
behests of those in control of the state in
stitution, and now, having fulfilled all obi-
| cations he owe as citizen of the common
wealth, he is again privileged to follow his
own inclination as regards life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.

| or the people and so the case goes directly
to Judge Burnett, who, it is believed, will
entertain 1t. The law provides that while

ing attorney or attorney gen neral, that
they can appeal directly, without which
the people would be absolutely at the mercy
of the officers. 10 this case the complaint
will ailege that the prosecuting attorney is
an ohstreperons cuss, who, for some reason,
refuses to represent the people. Ii Judge
Burnett concludes there Is merit In the case
it will go ahead and an injunction be
granted.
Sunday mornings Examiner says: The
Oregon Pacific Companv's long looked for
steamer Willamette Valley arrived late this
afternoon and was plastered with attach
ments almost before she wss fast to the
dork. The heaviest claim is chat of w. A.
SwInerton, amounting to SO. 2O9, mainly
for supplies the steamer took on at this
port. There were several other claims filed.
so many, in fact, that the two deputy mar
shals who have been camped on the dock
tor the past tortY-eIght hours had their
breast pockets distended with papers. The
steamer was included in the assets of the
company sold at auction on the 18Th, and
the question OF liability out ide of the re-
ceivers' holdings is likely TO take the matter
into the courts. SwInertoD, anticipating
this, also fled garnishment ON any money
that the vessels late owners may have on
deposit in the Anglo California; bank.

ful. Ole says he came from Chicago, paid
his fare, and was haulei up by the city
marshal as vsgrant; another that he came
on the blind baggage, and was overhaued
by the marshal on his arrival He has beeu
IN the city Jail ever since, and thinks he |
should be set at liberty. Others have diff
terent versions OF their sad and sorrowful |
wanderings to relate, and each is paiut-
i've tale of outraged innocence. They all |
believe that the city should furnish them |
old clothes in which to work ON /ate rock |
