STABBTNG AFFRAY AT
BURG. y

Harrisburg has quite sensAsl
case. 1t looks about like this according
to information given the DEMocRAT,
Some time ago Ayarilla Warner began q
suit for divorce against her husband
Seldom Warner. The casa is now pend
ing. Mrs Warner is living separate
from her husband, and Vernon Warner,
u relative, is doing her farm work for
her. MIR Selden Warner, it is asserted
does not like the situation, and it is
claimed got another relative, Charles
Warner, to give Vernon Warner a good
sized whipping. This he proceeded to
attempt to do according to the version
of Mr. Vernon Warner, this forenoon.
Vernon Warner upon the attack being
made drew knife, and slashed Charles
Warner, how badly is not yet known.
1t was reported fatally, but probably
not. The latter then had the former
arrested for assault with a dangerous
weapon, and the trial OF the case was to
come off this afternoon, with Z r Kelley
for the prosecution and g w Wright for
the defense. 1t is probable that there
will be big diversity OF opinion as to
the facts in the case. IL caused great
excitement at Harrisburg, and numerous
sensational rumol have been circulated
in reference to it.
GETTING DIVORCES. - Jndge Burnett
has filed his decision in the case OF
Guesseppo Matasce agt Kate Matasce
brought for divorce, denying the appli-
lcation for divorce as we'll as the petition
kuf the counter complaint, requiring each
TO pay costs. OF six cases considered
eudge Burnett refused to grant the di-
v&ree in all the cases. Hereafter di-
vonce cases will come in Judge Hewitt's
depaxsmensa There, is an opinion that
the court is very much down on divorces.
The truth is the court is simply requir-
ing Sufficient proof and whenever fur
nished divorces will undoubtedly be
granted. IL is said several cases have
already been begun in some other dis
trict. AS a matter of tact divorces can
be obtained here all right where the evi
dence is sufficient. But it is no longer @
mere formality.
An IMPORTANT LAw.-Congress has just
passed law of great importance to a
good many Albany people, as well as
Oregon mine owners generally. 1t sus-
pends for the year 1894 The provisions OF
the revised statutes which require that
500 per annum OF labor shall be per-
formed or improvements made on each
located mining claim during the term
before the issue OF patents. By filing be-
fore the close of the present year a notice
that the claimant intends in good faith
to hold and WORK his claim he is exempted
from the above requirements for this
year.
Another bill will provide that in cases
OF contest mining entry shall be con-
sidered mineral land il situated in a min
eral belt until the contrary is proven.
ACrING FooLIsHLY- An attempted
case of suicide was reported to the Dem
ocrat: but investigation failed 10 secui e
evidence sufficient in the matter TO es,ab-
lish the fact. II was de clared, though,
that a very young girl had been acting
very foolishly; and, right here We would
like 10 give several young girls of Albany
the fa,herly advice to quit acting foolishly /;
keep good company, don't run sround on
the streets except on business andb be care
full of your conduct. 4 good name Is
better than great riches.
