inent men,
1t is reported that Mr.. Smith,
one the keepers Of the Cape Foul.
weather lighthouse, had killed a
silver gray sea otter one day this
week. The fnr of this otter is the
most valuable Of all offers,
Much of our room Is taken up
with the description of the various
voting precincts Of the county as
they have been arranged by the
commissioners court this week.
This, however, is matter Of gen
eral interest to the people of the
county, as they quite naturally
want to know what precinct they
are living in.
l.. w. Van Horn, an O. p.
freight brakeman, was seriously
hurt last Friday while making a
switch at Eddyville. He. was
hanging on the steps at the end of
the car when he struck against the
framework OF the bridge. He
was knocked senseless and was Sc
riously bruised about the head and
back. He was brought TO Toledo
and taken to the Hotel Lincoln
where he was attended to by DR..
Rich, and is in fair way to recover.
c. c. Hogue was III the city last
night. He brought deed from
I, Egenton Hogg to Vim, M, Hoag
wherein the Col, transfers all the
Yaquina docks, wharf, right-of-way
and all terminal property that re-
manned in his name or that he was
IN any way interested. The in
strument was a voluminous docu-
ment, covering about nine pages of
closely printed typewriter manu-
script in the description alone.
The consideration named in the
deed is $500. 1t is evident that
Col. Hogg wishes to get the title of
his Yaquina property out of his
hands, for reasons best known TO
himself.
There has been report circulated
that the outstanding Indebtedness
Of Lincoln county exceeded SIS
900. This statement originated in
one of the papers Of our own coun-
ty, and is false and malicious; ma
licious inasmuch as the party that
started it had access to the county
records which would have proven
to him beyond doubt that his state.
nent was a libel on the county.
We are preparing a complete state.
ment of the financial condition OF
the county on the first of January,
and expected to have it in time for
this week but have been prevented
from getting access to certain books
and records in time. When this
statement appears, which will be
next week, our maligners will see
wherein they have wiliully misrep.
resented facts, and our citizens gen.
orally will see that our finances are
not in bad shape at all.
