THE CHiNAMEN IN COURT.
Friendly Chatting was the Beginning of
the ARRAY.

The Municipal court room was
crowded yesterday morning. The dock
was filled with thirteen prisoners, and
there were two others outside, making
fifteen in all. Conspicuous in the row
in the dock were the two Cinnamon,
Chin Hi and Chin Dee, the former with
bandage around his head and the lat
bridge of his nose. W. Neal appeared
for Chin Hi, saying that he admitted his
part in the fight, but that he was at
tackled by Chin Dee with shovel, as
the result of controversy that began
with friendly chatting, and retaliated
in self-defense. Of course to use a
butcher knife was more than the
occasion required. But Chin Hi has
always borne good reputation, while
his assailant, Chin Dee, has not, and a
year ago was found in the same court for
an assault on fellow countryman. He
pleaded for clemency for Chin Hi.
Lee Sing. of the Mikado laundry,
known as the "Mikado," acted as the
interpreter, and through him Chin Dee
declared to the court that he was not the
aggressor, but that the other fight
first" Chin Pung, a cousin of the two
prisoners, was called and testified in
fairly good English, that he was wit
ness of the ARRAY. and that it was sub
stantially as Mr.. Neal had stated. Both
the Interpreters have no pig tails, while
the reverse is true of the prisoners.
Judge Could fined them both IS and
one-half costs.
jeremiah Kerrigan, James e. Wade
and Alfred Simms pleaded not guilty to
the charge of stealing five gallons of
beer from a Boston and Maine car and
their case was continued till Saturday,
$500 sureties being required for each.
Roger c. MEG uire, for his assault upon
Manager Edgecomb of the Postal Tele-
graph company, and Horace 7. Kilgore,
was fined $40 and costs for each offense.

DO YOU SLEEP ENOUGH?
If Not, Something is the Matter and
it Needs Attention.

Nothing is so important as sleep. If
for any reason you do not get enough
sound sleep, you are sapping the vitality
from your nerves and laying the founda-
tion for the most dreaded nervous dis
eases. Many things prevent sleep, such
as weak nerves, nervousness, worry, in
digestion, overwork or strain upon the
nerves. Thousands of people become
sleepless and have weak nerves and
weak bodies and yet do not call them
selves exactly sick. Still they are out
of order, nervous and have no am bition
for work or pleasure. You need the
great spring medicine DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy. 1t will
make you well.
Mr.. Frank E.Bacon, of Z Dyer Ave,
Arlington, RI, writes the following
letter telling how he was cured of the
horrors of sleeplessness;
For over a year | suffered terribly
with sleeplessness, indigestion, nervous
ness ana debility. At night sleep would
morning AID go to work fully as tired as
/ would go to bed the night before.
Every morning had that same tired
and broken down feeling that l had
all day.
II would toss and turn in bed, but
could not get a nights rest. I had in
digestion fearfully and my food dis
tressed me constantly. / could eat
hardly anything. Life seemed bur-
den to me and I was completely dis
couraged. / could not do justice to my
work and feared / would be obliged to
give up work entirely.

A SAD CASE.
Mr.. John L. Motley of Lunt's Corner Un-
dergoes an Operation.
rnording.

For the past three weeks Mr.. John L.
Motley of Lunt's Corner, Deering, has
been unable to keep even the most deli
cate liquid food on his stomach. There
has been no fever or other symptoms,
however, until Tuesday, when high
fever set in. The physician in attend
ance, DR.. C. W. Foster Of Woodfords,
called DR.. Weeks in consultation. 1t
had been supposed that the patient was
suffering from impaction or stoppage of
the bowels. Dr. Weeks made an incision
and found that the colon, a part of the
great intestine, was perforated and that
large quantity of gasses had collected,
and that, of course the intestine and
adjacent tissue had liberated. 1t was
necessary to remove that portion of the
intestine and leave an aperture
in the abdominal wall. If the unfor-
tunate man gets well, this opening will be
permanent, and through it the waste of
the body will pass. The bowel below
that point will be useless. This case is
similar to one, well-known in Portland,
that was performed by the late DR..
Greene. A story is told that when DR..
Greene told some eminent German ply
sicians of this extraordinary feat of sur
gerry. they expressed disbelief that the
patient could recover. However he
lived several years.
Mr.. Motley's intestinal perforation
was the result of strain, sort of rup-
ture. He is about 80 years old and has
a wife and two children.

THE DR.. Foea COLLECTION.
MIR. Cumston of Boston Brings Important
News to Mayor Baxter in Regard to 1t.

One of the visitors to Mayor Baxter's
Office yesterday was large, distinguish
ed looking, elderly gentleman. He was
Mr.. Cumston of Boston, executor of
the DR.. Fogg estate, and he came to con-
suit with Mayor Baxter, as president of
the Historical Society, in regard to the
fact that it will probably not be necessa-
ry for the society to adopt legal meas
ures to secure the autograph collection,
as had been intended, because DR.. Fogg's
son, who brought suit to break the will,
has recently died. This son was left
nothing in the will, and the Historical
Society would have been involved in
legal contest for possession of the auto
graph collection if he had not died.

Charged With Trespassing.

A complaint was lodged with Justice
Wilson last Wednesday charging one A. L.
Cooper with trespassing upon the premises
of H. j. Moore, who swore to the COM
plant and asked that warrant be issued
for the arrest of Cooper. When brought
into court Cooper claimed that he was not
guilty of the charge, but was simply per-
forming his part of a contract which he had
with Moore for clearing nineteen acres of
land, located near Albany. 1t appears that
some dispute arose over contract between
the parties and being unable to settle it
Moore ordered Cooper off of the premises and
subsequently, posted tresspass notices on the
place, but as Cooper refused to leave, the
matter was brought into the courts. The
accused appears to be hard working fel-
low and claims to have anticipated this ac-
tion on the part of Moore. The hearing is
set for Monday morning at 1870.

AT THE COURT HOUSE.
Benton County Court Meets
Next Week.

James M. Mulligan and Mrs. Kate Nc
Daniels were married last Saturday by Judge
Hufford.
The will of Matilda J. Olds was admitted
to probate this week. The instrument
names S. L. Shedd as executor thereof, and
the petition alleges the property of deceased
to be worth $4,000.
The will of Susan Huard has been admit.
ted to probate.
A petition was filed in the probate court
Tuesday asking that letters testimentary be
granted to John Will who is named as exec.
Wm. Will, deceased. This instrument was
executed on the 18th inst, at Healdsburg,
Calf. , and requests that all his debts be
paid out of the assets of the estate. That
his home and furniture therein be used in
common by his widow and children so long
as she shall continue to live with and care
for them. The will further requests that
the remainder of his property he sold and
the proceeds used in the care of his children.
petition was filed in the circuit court
this week by Wallis Nash, attorney for VIII.
liam Laird Law, of Oakland, Calf, showing
that petitioner is the owner and holder of
receivers certificates of the Oregon Pacific
issued by 7. E. Hogg to the extent of $780,
600 which certificates are part of the total
amount of $50. 600 issued for the purchase
of the steamship Willamette Valley. These
certificates were made first lien upon the
vessel and are over due and entirely IN
paid. Said petitioner is also the holder of
other certificates aggregatlng $1,000. The
petition further states that three separate
actions brought by A. w. Swinerton, and
one brought by Sanford Bennett are now
pending in the superior court of San Fran
cisco county, Calf, against the Oregon Pa
cific railroad company. Said Swinerton as
assignee of number Of local creditors of
said company, has caused the Willamette
Valley to be attached to satisfy their claims.
If these parties succeed IN their action, the
steamer will be sold without reference to the
rights of petitioner, who is desirous of fore
closing his lien on the vessel, and in order to
enforce it, it is necessary for him. to- sbe al
Clark, the present receiver be permitted to
inplead in these several actions. Upon read
ing petition Judge Fullerton granted the
order as prayed for, allowing petitioner to
begin proceedings for the purpose of fore
closing his lien.

Pushing for Business.

Under three headlines the Salem indie.
pendent of Tuesday says:
Charles Clark, receiver Of the Oregon
Paciti, railroad, and w. F. Crosby, mana
ger of the steamer Homer, arrived in Sa.
lem this morning. MIR. Clark comes to Sa-
lem .in the interest of the Oregon Pacific
property and to look after business con-
nectsd with that company. 1t is likely
that the people will find out some very
agreeable news regarding the O. P. before
long. MIR. w. F. Crosby accompanied MIR.
Clark to this city, and this gentleman comes
in the interest of the little independent
steam-r which plies between Yaquina bay
and San Francisco. 1t is by this boat that
from the metropolis of the Pacific slope.
While here this gentleman will probably
negotiate for more extensive freight bnsi.
ness on that line. 1t is strictly Viii.
thoroughly laid before our merchants they
will no doubt patronize the line more than
ever Since the Willamette Valley has
been taken of and the Homer placed ON as
an independent boat, the officials have ia.
ken extraordinary means of facilitating
transportation, making terms cheap and
running regularly. For instance, the Homer
leaves San Francisco tonight at O'Clock
and Friday morning the merchants of this
city will have their freight landed in this
city,

AN UNSEEN ENEMY

Is more to be dreaded than an open and
visible one. That subtle and lurking foe,
which under the generic name of malaria
manifests itself, when it clutches us in its
tenacious grasp, in the various forms of
chils and fever, bilious remittent, dumb
ague or ague cake, can only be etfectually
guarded against by fortifying the system
against its insidious attacks with Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, a thorough anti
dote to the poison of miasma in the sys-
TEN, and safeguard against it thoroughly
to be relied upon. In the event of ma.
larious attack, avoid poisoning your sys-
TEN with quinine, and use instead this
wholesome remedy, unobjectionable in
taste and far more etficacious than any drug
Use the Bitters for dyspepsia, billiousness,
constipation, kidney complaints and rheu.
