contributed by Charles Mummery and
the balance by Cam Hemphill. The

he did was to get tolerably drunk. That
night he went out on q foraging expedi-

raided successfully the dwellings of Rev.

at the latter, the overcoats of Isadore

BAD AocipKNr.-An accident which
came near causing the death OF Ira Nc
Cormack, happened last Sunday about a
mile and half east of Brownsville.
George keeney was riding his bucking
cayuse, and Ira, desiring TO create q
little sport for the bystanders, jumped
on behind him. The load proved too
heavy for the little steed, and no sooner
had Ira become seated than the horse
fell, both riders falling underneath. In
his scramble to get up and gain his Tree
dom the animal planted his hoofs in
Ira's face, and also in various places on
his body. His shoulder blade was
broken, breast badly bruised and coun-
tenance slightly disiigured. Mr.. Keeney
escaped without = scratch. Mccormick
was unconscious for long time after
being picked up, but Or. Cox was called
and administered to his needs, and he
will doubtless be spared TO enjoy the
lessons thus taugh; regarding wild and
bucking horses.-Times.

Was CALLED A RuNT.-A corrcspon-
dent in the Salem Post called Represent
ative Blundell the Douglas county
runt." This made l.. III. Mcmahon mad,
and as none OF his literature has appear
ed in the DEMOCRAT for n good while We
give sample: Mr.. Blundell is an ex-
ceedingly small man, and TO boor the
term ''runt" may appear applicable.
But Mr.. Blundell is gentleman, a be-
irg as ineomprehensiblet to the man who
sneaks behind nom de plume to in
dulge in uncalled for and ungentlemanly
personal attacks as anything could well
be. His age, his weak physical con-
dition and poor health should cause any
man to refrain from attacking him in a
personal manner. Those who have the
pleasure OF his personal acquaintance
hold him in the highest esteem. He is
a jolly companion and always a gentle
man. For the man, who wrote that ar
ticle, every honest man has supreme
contempt. In the first place, he is a
sneaking coward, as is evinced by the
fact that he did not attach his name to
the article. The article is proof sutfici-
ent that its author is a hoodlum. He
may be an opium fiend, a tin-horn
gambler or a bosom friend of Jim VIII
son. His letter indicates that he is well
fitted for any profession TO which gener-
al moral depravity is an essential adj
junct.

FINE PRosPEcTs.-It has been s good
many years since the Willamette valley
has had as favorable outlook for an over
whelming crop at this season oi the year,
both in grain and fruit as this year ad-
vances- The winter season has been SO
delightfully."- mild that no man can icssi-
bly, find an excuse for no; having his
grain crop all in, his orchard well culii-
vated. and his berry crop well looked al
ter, and there are few culiivaiors oi the
soil who are in need Of an excuse-the
work is practically all done. Everything
seems 10 have worked harmoniously this
year.-Register. Certainly the outlook
is good so lar. Let us hope it will keep
up the present speed.

in cash. He had been in Portland where
he made real estate transaction, re-
ceiving in return the 1915 check on the

way home he fell asleep in the car, and
on arriving at his destination he discov-

FRIDAY

A SwINDLER AT LARGE.-6everal busi-
ness men in Eugene were swindled in
the following manner: A nan signing
his name as a Mr.. "Baker" and repre-
senting the house of Mark Levy & Co. of
Portland was in Eugene short time ago.
He was travelling as ''off" man, or COM
mission on the goods he sold. He pur-
ported to have carload OF oranges which
he was anxious TO dispose OF very cheap-
ly in Willamette valley towns, and made
sales to number of Eugene merchants.
He sold the goods very cheap. They
were delivered in due time. The bills
accompanying the goods called for higher
prices than those which Mr.. Baker had
agreed to sell them for, and Messrs. Hall
& Son wrote Levy & Co. notifying them
OF that fact and stating what they agreed
to. This aroused the suspicion of Levy
4 Co. who Immediately telegraphed HaIl
4 Son to not pay any money to Baker
and to instruct the other merchants who
had bought Of him the same, but the tel
egram was too late. Baker put in ap-
pearance Tuesday morning and collected
money on the goods sold. T. u. Pool
paid him in cash and the rest paid him
by checks, which he endorsed and Sc
secured n rig at Bangs stable and Ashi =
Stevens drove him TO Junction, where lac
claimed to have some business to trans
act and then wished 10 catch the over
land train to Portland. The last heard
from him was that he boarded the over
land train at Junction for San Francisco.
The authorities are on his trail aud will
no dsabt soon capture him.
THE THIRD TINR.-Anything the Ore
gonian says about Yaguina is always OF
interest: In compliance with 4 pro-
vision contained in the sundry civil bill,

people were not satisfied with these re-
ports, and, at their request, Representa-
tive Hermann secured the appointment

4 REVISED SPEECH.-Willard Elkins.
of Dallas, nephew OF James Elkins of

abandon the noble struggle, for free
coinage OF silver, in which We are en-
gagged, and which we have pledged our

between the capitalists and the laboring
men is actually begun! The next gale
that sweeps from the East will bring TO
our ears the clash OF resounding arms /,
Our brethren, of the Coxey army, and
already in the field. Why stand we
here idle? What is it Mr.. Hackleman
would have? Is life SO dear, or peace
so sweet, as to be purchased at the price
