American people and embroil the Nation

course he has found himself com mpelled to
pursue uniformly in like matters, but he
desires me to assure you of his best wishes"

Buried Treasure Located in a Corre-

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Dec. 23.-A
San Francisco morning paper recently pu b.
lished sensa tional tale of buried treasure
upon one of the Channel Islands, in search
of which party of New York men were
supposed to have lately started from Santa
Barbara. This story, barring several es-
sential details, had certain substratum
of truth. The treasure is said to have been
buried on San Miguel Island, on the shores
of Prisoners Harbor; unfortunately Prls-
oners Harbor is located near the west end
OF Santa Cruz Island, some forty five miles
from San Miguel Island. AS matter of
fact, there is no buried treasure on any of
the islands, and no tradition to that effect
there are no treasure hunters hereabouts !;
there was no expedition in quest of treas
ure The undeniabe and substantial fact
contained in the tale is that the islands are
really there.

Cured in a saloon, and the shot that hit
Engle was supposed to have been fired by
a person known only as "Italian Nike
a party from Sisson, including several
women and number of male friends, en-
tered the saloon about noon. Carrie Sulli-

twenty people in the room at the time,

From the number of shots fired, it is
thought other members of the party took
a hand in the shooting. There are four

NJ. TAYLOR DEAD.

M. P. Taylor died at Corvallis on Tues
day afternoon, May %, at the age of 40
years, II months and Is days. The re-
mains were taken to Peoria and buried
beside those OF two children. On jan
uary IL an operation was performed on
Mr.. Taylor in Portland by DIR. Maston oi
this city, and DIR. Cauthorn of Portland,
resulting in the removal of malignant
tumor and 4S inches OF intestine, the in
testine being brought together afterwards
by Murphy button. On account OF the
character of the operation the case ex-
cited general interest and has been
noticed in medical journals.
On the day of Mr.. Taylor's Death DIR.
Maston, of this city, was telegraphed for
but being in Portland was unable to
get there until the next day, after his
death.
A postmortem examination was held
by DR.. Maston of this city in the presence
of DIR. Altman and friends of Mr.. Taylor.
The examination demonstrates the fact
that sooner or latter Mr.. Taylor would
have died from the malignancy OF the
tuner. 1t also showed that the intes-
tine wher it had been brought together
by the Murphy button, had a per-
foration OF that place. The bu n
had become loosened and passed down a
short distance and had stopped in locp
Of the intestine, where by constant pres
sure of the button against the walls oi
the intestine it had caused a pressure
atrophy and another perforation, letting
| the contents OF the bowels escape into
the general peritoneal cavity.
Mr.. Taylor was member of the Wood
men OF the World, and was man high
ly respected.
