Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1894-02-08


The Democratic state convention
has been called to be held at Astoria
on Tuesday, April IT, 1894.
The sheriff has forgotten who
borrowed the court house ak.
Will the guilty man please raise
his right hand.
Z. w. Hadley wants $4,000 for
running the Oregon Pacific road
ten months in which he created a
debt at the rate Of $4,000 per
month.
In a special term Of court at Cor
wallis last week, Judge Fullerton
continued the matter Of the o. P.
sale until the first of March. He
states it as his intention to order a
sale in time to have it confirmed at
the April term at Corvallis, should
anyone bid on the property.
To the Oregon Pacific boys we
want to say this: Don't act like
pack of half-grown school boys and
tag off after every Hogg man with
a scheme; or Hadley man with
scheme; or Blair man, or any other
man with scheme in which the
said man is going to reap large
self benefit. Keep clear of factions.
BY an order Of Judge Fullerton
made at Corvallis last week AS
signee Bryson will pay a dividend
of 10 per cent. on the dluy filed
and accepted claims against Hamil-
ton, Job & Co, This ten per cent.
will disburse about $22 600 among
claim holders and will be like man
ma in the wilderness to the poor
depositors.
We are requested to state that
the Toledo Dancing Club have de-
cided TO hold their parties every
other Saturday night, beginning
February 18th. This will bring
the cost of attending within the
reach of all. There is now $50. so
in the treasury which will enable
them to keep up the dances Until
the latter part of April.
They have been having quite a
time up at Elk City and above on
Big Elk, lately. Some one reported
to the State Game Warden, al
Portland, that the people of the
former vicinities were killing deer
out Of season, and the people were
outraged at the insinuation. We
don't blame them. To be compell-
ed to live on cougar meat when
the woods are full of nice fat deer,
is bad enough, and then have
somebody state that they were kill
ing deer out OF season Is really toe
much.
"Rich people are kleptomaniacs
when they steal; homicides (some-
times generals) when they kill;
dipsomaniacs when they are con-
stantly drunk; careless in their
assertions when they tell falshoods;
grave men when they are dull;
individuhlislically inclined when
they are selfish; men of the world
when adulterous; plain spoken
when rude; thorough business men
when devoid Of feelings; moral
when they sin OH the sly; indolent
when lazy; peculiar when crazy,
and simple when stupid. In all
these cases poor men are thieves,
murderers, drunkards, liars, bores,
selfish btutes, adulterers, black
guards heartless devils, sinners,
madcaps and fools. IL Justice.
We are in receipt of a communi-
cation concerning the recent report
filed by Mr.. Hadley as his final re-
port as Oregon Pacific receiver.
The matter is an utterance of c.
c. Hogue, and contains many
items Of interest touching manage
ment Of the road under Mr.. Hadley,
but is 50 interlardea with puffs and
detenses for Col. Hogg, that 1t is
not available as a whole for these
columns. Hogg and Hadley were
marked so much with the same
characteristics that If they were
shaken up in a sack together it
would be hard to tell which would
come out FIRST. We are sick and
tired of puifs fot Hndley; puHs for
Hogg; kicks ioi Hadley; kicks for
Hogg, and so on. What we want
are results. We have no sympathy
for Hogg or Hadley, but we do
