THURSDAY


WHO WAS TO BLAME.-Much indigna-
Iion was expressed yesterday among the
A o U W excursIonists at the front
when they were made to pay so cents a
meal at the Cascade House at Detroit
when it had been advertised before hand
that the proprietor would furnish meals
to all at % cents meal. Some few
thoughtless persons were disposed to
crltlclse the DEMOCRAT for publishing
The notice but when the facts are stated
all will know where TO place tn blame.
The excursion was under the auspices OF
the A o U w and on Monday Mr. Barker,
one OF the committee having the ex-
cursion i'll charge, called at this office
and informed us that the Cascade House
at Detroit would furnish meals at %
cents and that he had been authorized
to have it so advertised. This the DEM
ocRAr did. A great many of the ex-
cursionists, seeing this notice, decided
not to take refreshments with them
pyeferring to pay e5 cents q meal. What
was their surprise when the landlord
exacted 90 cents meal TIE landlord
says he never agreed to furnish meals st
25 cents, though he admit that was
his regular price. There seems to be no
doabt from what Mr. Barker says that he
agreed or at least gave the COMMITTEES or
some OF Its members to UNDERSTAND that
he would furnish meals at that price.
One thing is certain Mr. Danforth has
injured his business very much by his
course about the matter so far as Albany
people are concerned.
lN JAIL.-Duron Boggs, who was
arrested some days ago charged with
stealing sheep at Sweet Home was
| arrested and bound in the sum of $3.50
to await the action of the grand jury In
default OF bail he was placed in jail
B0ggs statement OF the case is to the
effect that he went out into the brush to
kill birds and in shooting at one he
aceidently wounded a sheep belonging
to MIR Wiley. He killed the sheep and
proceeded to skin and appropriate a
ham. In doing so some children cane
near him when he ran away and hid.
The children disappeared when he re-
turned and secured his ham and started
home with it, but was met by Mr. Wiley
who informed him that his, WileJ's,
children had informed him that Boggs
was killing one of his sheep. He says
he told Wiley how it happened and
Wiley appeared satisned and said all he
wanted was pay Tor his sheep. Boggs
says he told Wiley he would pay for the
sheep but not then as he had not the
money. He says this satisfied Wiley
unit! some one persuaded him to cause
the arrest to be made. We have not
heard Mr. Wiley's story yet.
A PECULIAR CAsE-William Fels owns
q farm over in Sho'pouch, and up Mulkey
creek rdjoining his place Henry Helm
richs owns another. The latter, last
winter, when the water was high in
Mulkey creek, attempted TO float sixty
thousand feet OF logs down it through
Fefs place, and that got him into
trouble. Fels, with Judge Hufford as
his attoi ney, has gone TO court and SAYS
that seven OF Heinrich's men with cant
hooks, for 1t least ten days worked with
the logs, caused Mulkey creek TO over
flow and wash gravel out on The la.ter's
land, damaging said land 500, damag-
ing his fences SIS and his bridge IS. He
also alleges that Heinrichs is preparing
to try the thing over again with another
sixty thousand or more feet Of logs, and
to save his farm from further damage he
begs the court to stop his ne;ghhor from
floating any more logs down Multey
creek, which he alleges can never be-
| come important as a channel OF COM
merce. Thus, log rolling In the Oregon
legislature may be practiced with impu-
nifty. but il can't be done out in Shot
pouch without some risk Times.

Caleb Davis arrived Wednesday from
attendance on the general assembly OF
the Presbyterian church at Jamestown,
n Y. He was absent six weeks and
visited in New York. Missouri, Iowa aud
California. In each state he found plen-
ty of money in the banks ready to loan
but only bang up security could get il,
and in consequence times were almost
as stringent as here in Oregon. The ex-
posures OF the doings of Tammany hall
reached his ears while east and he did
not venture into New YORK City. He
got out OF California by the skin OF his
teeth, escaping on the last train to leave
San Francisco before the tie up.-Cor-
