A LIVE SMALL MAN.-The Salem In
dependent tells the following: The
death OF a small man was narrowly
averted by the large fellow taking to his
heels in flight. The controversy COM
menced in front of the Bazaar Auction
store on State street, over an argument
on the pension question. The small man
and the big mar couldn't agree, the
former being of the opinion that pension
money was too freely given, and men
toned, by the way, that big strapping
fellow had no right to such monies. Now
it happened the large man was a pen
sioner and Zig strapping fellow, and it
hit him so,,close to where he lived that he
became angry. He therenpon called the
little giant vile name and David" at
once started for 'Goliah" intending to
emite him in the forehead. Now it came
to pass that "Goliah" marked "David's"
intent and turned to fee to his habita-
tion. In so doing he passsd quickly
through the auction "temple" and struck
the stove, laying it low. He however,
made his exit through the lack door,an
The little man held the fort and officers
appeared, but no arrests were made, as
no disturbance was evident.
AT THE SoLDIERs HoNE-John Gulli-
van, an inmate of the Soldiers Home,
hailing from Portland, was dish )norably
discharged Friday. 1t seems that he
occasionally imbibes too freely in bug
juice, and that he did 90 the other even
ing while in town. He then went to the
home determined to clean out the
place, and being a powerful man
he almost succeeded in doing so. if
reports are true. He was finally subduec
however, and placed under arrest for us
ing obscene language in the presence Of
the ladies', and will have jury trial in
Justice Hamlin's court tomorrow. Sui
livan claims to be relative of the great
John L ard his claim is no doubt well
founded.-Roseburg Review.
FROM KITsoN SPRINGs,-A letter from
Hon X A Irvine who went 10 Kitscn
Springs about two weeks ago, wrote to
Jason Wheeler of this city, says the road
to ten miles above springfield were good
then for stretch OF Is miles the worst mud
holes the writer ever saw abounded, and
then the remainder of the road was rough
and rocky. Mr. Irvine says he stood the
trip finely and has not had bad spell
since he began Uathing and drinking the
water. The team and wagon of James
Shelton ran off the grade but no damage
was done except some slight bruises for
Mrs Shelton who jumped from the wagon.
The wagon turnel over and went
down the embankment about Is feet
into the river, horses and all. The horses
were cut loose and brought out safely.
Most of his load was saved. Mr. Irvine
feels ql lite confident mis- health will improve
at the springs.
The following from the Sidney, Wash,
Independent goes rather too far; but it
shows how the papers talk: ''Herr
Most endorses assassination; Sylvester
Pennoyer endorses assassination; the
populist party endorses Pennoyer. Ergo,
we have Herr Most, Pennoyer and popu-
lism, all in the same boat. What do
you think? By their vote, will the pe0-
people make it float?
