AN OREGON RoMANcE.-Jas Hards, who
was convicted at the May term of circuit
courtin 1893 for the killing of Ezra Arnold,
on Big Butte in this county, and sentenced
to the penitentiary for Is years and lately
pardoned out, returned to Jacksonville,
says the Times. He served little over q
year. Hards married Arnold's daughter or
tep-daughter, and, it appears, at the
special instance of Arnold. After Hards
had been married for some time Arnold
took his wife away from him and would
not let Hards come to the house to see her.
This state Of affairs existed for some time
and Hards went to the house one day to get
his wife, or demonstrate with Arnold for
keeping her away from him. when trouble
ensued between them and Hards shot and
killed him. Hards left the country and
was not heard from until last spring, when
he came back to Jackson county. and the
indictment net having been dismissed from
the docket he was arrested, tried and con-
victed as stated. His wife, for whom he
killed Arnold, married in his absence, and
has been left widow by the death of her
mored the couple will be married again af-
ter an enforced and eventful separation of
so years.
THE ANARCHIST CLuB.-The item in
the Telegram, republished by the Demo-

correct though disputed. 1t does not
have 100 members. that is the member
ship OF the Portland club. but has
several, having started with nine. The
| headquarters of the club is well known
to some of our citizens. 1t is not a
blood thirsty affair, and the members
will probably always be peaceable; but
they talk anarchy and believe in it.
A DEFUNcr BANK A recent decis-
ion the case of the Job Bank of Corvallis
is against the county except as to money

are getting soup. But the court is dis
playing economy. The salary of the

court originally fixed at 500 per month
WAS subsequently reduced to $75 pc.
