Dundy's decision goes 80 far as to forbid the

vent or hinder the operation of said

OBITUARY.

Republican, Goldendale, Wash, Oct. 3, 1894
This community is called upon to
lament the death Of one Of its most
respected and honored citizens in the
passing away, at A O'Clock, on Tues
day, the 9th, Of James Thompson who
had been violently i'll for nearly week
before his death from inflammation
of the bowels, acting on a constitution
materially impaired by Brights dis
ease. All that human skill could effect
was done to prolong his stay on this
side the silent shore, but without
avail, James Thompson was born in
Anderson county, Tennessee, August
Sth, lS47. Twenty-Five years ago he
emigrated to Oregon and settled at
Oak Creek, near Albany, Linn county.
In 1872 he was married to Miss H. i.
Cram, sister Of Daniel Cram and Mrs.
Austin of this city, and removed to
this county about nine years ago, For
more than quarter Of a century he
was a consistent and honored member
of the Missionary Baptist church, and
for about three years a member Of
Goldendale lodge F. & A. NJ. Heleaves
wife and eight children, the eldest
son of twenty-one and the youngest
about two years, besides an aged
mother, four brothers and two sisters
in Oregon. Mr.. Thompson was highly
esteemed in his community as an
honorable Christian gentleman and a
citizen of sterling worth. He wa,
nominated at the last Republican con.
vention for commissioner of the thirt
district. He was buried Friday, the
2Sth instant, in the Odd Fellows
Cemetery at Goldendale, the funera
services being conducted by his breth
ern of the Masonic fraternity.

Commercial Affairs in clatsop.

The Astoria Budget tells the follow
ing story of Clatsop commercial affairs:
A farmer living near Olney brought to
town owe. one hundred boxes of apples
which he desired to sell to a grocery
man with whom he had been dealing
and whom he owed bill of about
forty dollars. No; the groceryman
didn't want the apples. Finally the
farmer sold the apples to Mr.. G. B.
Smith, the candy store man for rs
cents per box Mr., Smith got rid of a
few boxes here and the rest he shipped
to Portland and sold for one dollar per
box. After the apples had resided in
a commission stall at Portland about
"a hours they were sold to the Astoria
Bond street grocery company and
shipped back here to be sold. What
the Astoria groceryman paid for them
we do not know, but it is not at all
probable that he bought them for the
same price the Portland dealer paid.

Thieving in Brownsville.

Some time ago the general mer-
chandise store of r. N. Thompson was
entered by burglars and the safe blown
open and so damaged that is was
necessary to send the door to Portland
for repairs. Fearing that another
visit of like nature might be made,
Mr.. Thompson hired Daniel Great
house as nightwatchman. All was
apparently going well, when, on look
ing through his stock, Mr.. Thompson
discovered that one full suit, an extra
pair of pants and pair of shoes were
missing. Upon search the pants were
found at the tailor's, where Daniel
had taken them to have the buttons
cut off. The next move, after recover
ing the pants, was 10 take out a search
warrant and look through the klepto,
maniacs belongings, where the re-
naming articles were found hidden in
trunk. It.is perhaps unnecessary to
state that Daniel lost his job, and that
in this case the old saying of "set a
thief to catch thief,n was verified,
although it did not work exactly as
Daniels employer hoped it would.
