During the troubles of the past two
weeks Mayor Kelley has shown more
fully than ever before that he is a man
of the people. He has pushed aside the
railroad corporations demands and not
needed their threats by which they tried
TO bring about a policy which would
have meant riot after riot and loss of
life. He has from the first counseled
peace and his instructions 10 the police
have been instrumental in keeping the
peace. His counsel to the strikers has
at all times been that of a friend as
they all we'll know. All day on Sunday
he pleaded with people to keep away
from railroad property and from the
troops, and had that advice been needed
the murder committed that day would
not have Occurred.-HammondN News.
TQra1 Low oh,
seventeen summers, hailing from Mt.
Comfort, lost his sense of decency Of
he ever had any while in Pendleton last
Friday to such an extent as 10 publicly
insult a young lady. Marshal Lewark
was apprised of the young fellows con-
duct, and soon took him in charge and
marched him before Squire Fort, where
he was charged with assault. He plead
ed guilty, at the same time trying TO eX-
plain that he made a mistake, and that
he didn't mean any harm, etc. The
squire fined him $40 and costs for his
harmless" conduct, which in all
amounted to $3.50. He paid SO cash
and left his watch as security for the
balance. 1t is safe to say that the next
time young Bradley comes to town he
will conduct himself in a gentlemanly
manner.-Pandleton Republican.

the city yesterday. was attracted by the
peculiar actions of a half-grown chicken
in the weeds in fence corner. The bird
how held back from the execution of its
evident desire. 1t Topped its wings and
cried piteously but was unable TO pro-
coed. Moved partially by curiosity and
partially by sympathy DR.. Ristine alght-
ed and proceeded to the spot. He stopped
over the chicken to learn the cause of
the trouble and then sprang several feet
back into the road. He saw that the
chicken was in the power of a large and
ugly snake which had seized it by the
foot and had nearly a whole leg in its
mouth. Armed with a stout club the
doctor despatched the reptile and released
it's victim, which ran away with joyous
squawks, presumably of gratitude. The
snake was a rattlesnake several feet
long with eleven large rattles and one
