A Serious ARRAY.


Yesterday a serious cutting affray
occuared at Wamic. Ed. Stoey and
Thomas Edmonson engaged In a dis
pute over trivial matter, and in fit
of anger, Stacy drew knife, striking
Edmonson, inflicting dangerous If
not fatal wound. The wound is in the
right side, between the fifth and sixth
ribs. At last accounts Edmonson was
still alive, but the attending physician,
DR.. Kane, Of Dufur, was unable to de-
termine how the wound would termi-
nate. Stoey has been arrested, and
will be held in charge OF the officers in
Wamic precinct until the result Of Ed
monson's wounds can be ascertained.
The trouble yesterday Is said to be the
outgrowth Of feud that has existed
between Stoey and Edmonson for some
time past.

Insurance Companies Are Chary About
Reinsuring Delayed Ships.
Reinsuring risks on vessels long over
due and supposed to be lost is game OF
chance in which speculative marine un-
derwriters have been indulging. One
of the vessels on which such big odds
have been taken, says the Philadelphia
Record, was the British bark Command
er, which sailed on April IL from Chit
tagong, India, for the West Indies and
the Delaware breakwater, and has been
given up as lost. Both vessel and cargo
were insured as ordinary risk at the
rates then current for vessels trading
on long voyages. After three months
had elapsed without the arrival of the
vessel the original insurers placed their
risks with other companies, paying
twenty guineas premium and escaping
the payment of total loss, Those who
took the new risk became alarmed at
the continued absence of the vessel, and
to protect themselves they reinsured
the vessel and cargo at forty guineas
premium. As the loss of the vessel now
appears to be beyond doubt those who
last took the risk will be called upon to
pay total loss.
