WORSE AND WORSE.

A large number OF wheat storcrs in
getting flour, feed, etc, on their wheat
account have been surprised by receiv-
ing statements from Wadhams & Co.
OF Portland, notifying them that accounts
OF the Red Crown Mills had been trans
ierred 10 them and that there il due on
the same the sum OF -, which they
would please settle. 1t is said that about
500 on accounts have been transferred
to Wadhams & Co.. and that farmers and
others who had gotten -four and feed
there expecting, OF course, that il would
be taken out OF their wheat account, will
not only have 10 lose their wheat but al

cent and making their living by the way.
The former are swarming through the
country. The latter are becoming more
and more common. The former are
kicked through city; the latter toasted
and steaked. Two OF the latter arrived
IN Albany last evening ON their way
around the world. They were Samuel
Wilson. who calls himself "King of the
Tramps, newspaper man OF Sydney, \.
;. W, and Horace q. Iorkc, OF Boston,
Lincolnshire, England. As usual they
carry their registers showing where they
stop. Here entries were made by the

whose name Wilson recorded the fact
that he partook at his table the finest
steak partaken of on this route, and
Chief of Police Lee, who pinned No. l.

lectures. At San Francisco the men viii

SALOON KEEPERS VS. DRUG.
GISTS.

The city council at its next meeting
will have another matter to contend
with. Last evening at O'Clock the sa-
loon keepers of the city held meeting,
at which it was decided to petition the
city council TO require the licensing of all
drug stores for selling liquor except on a
physicians prescription and as allowed
by law. IL was asserted at the NEE ing
that the business OF the saloons was be-
ing infringed on by the druggists OF the
city, and as the former pay 800 year
Tor license, at time when 1t is difficult
to make the license money, they want
protection. 1t was even asserted that
liquor is sold by the glass outside of the
saloons. Mr.. Baumgart declares that il
the council does not give the required
protection he will put in small stock OF
drugs in the front Of his place and run a
drug store. This movement il in keep
ing with the one just inaugurated in
Portland.
The druggists on the other hand de-
clare that they have lived up TO the
spirit OF the Law, and that they do not
infringe upon the business OF the saloon
keepers, that their sales are in the
direct line OF their business and for med
ieal purposes.

FRIDAY
A SALOON ROW.
A Free Use of Cheese knife Causes
Blood to Flow.

A live saloon row occurred about IL
o'clock last night in the saloon OF II. l..
Cranor, on Ellsworth street. About that
time Henry William, of the First street
saloon, entered Cranor's place. Mr..
Cranor was behind the bar. A dispute
arose, whether over q new or old matter
the DEMOCRAT does not. know. The re-
suit was that Williams grabbed the
cheese knife lying on the lunch counter
and attacked Cranor. Considerable blood
flew. Cranor was cut somewhat in the
neck and on the hand, the latter being
done in trying TO get hold OF the knife.
Williams received II few scratches and u
dark eye. A barkeeper who was pres
ent in attempting to separate the men
was also cut some. The blood on the
floor and towels this morning testified to
the character OF the contest. The iDjur-
les to Cranor are said not 10 have been
serious.
No arrests had been made at press
time; Mr.. Cranor not having Eppesred
for the purpose of securing a warrant.

A Plan for Joint Stock Company

meeting OF creditors OF the Red Crown
Mills Was held =; the office Of Weather

evening after the DKMocRAT's press time.
;. T.. Young was chosen chairman and

II. Bryant, u. b. Monteith. and John
Conser of this county, and Mr.. Ehrmzn,
Of Junction were appointed n committee
20 investigate the books OF the mill,
which they did and AZ meeting IN the
evening made an informal report which
showed the liabilities OF the company 10
be about 5000. This covers the $l7 ,o0C
mortgage OF John Conner, several claims
for wheat purchased. and about $1,000
bushels oil wheat in storage The assets
were estimated at So. 800, being $4,000
for the mill, $500 for town lots and
S, zoo for accounts. Nearly all of the
accounts have been transferred to Wad-
hams & Co, VIM: Vance and others as
| security, as well as some engines and
machinery.
The plan proposed was TO form joint
stock company, giving creditors stock SC
cording to their accounts, buying or as
suming the mortgage, and running thS
mill. The DEMOCRAT would like to sci
| this done, and would do all possible Il
assist such a result; the figures, though
speak for themselves.
ID. b. Monteith, J. A. Wilson and W
L. Lyon were appointed a committee K
make complete report of the condition
| OF the mill at g meeting TO be held on
next Tuesday evening. The officers OF the
mill offered to turn over all the books o
the company for the purpose.
As great many of the wheat claim:
are small ones the plan, even ii success
tul, means that none but those having
big claims would get even stock, the gen,
eral sentiment OF small storers being tha
they would not put anything in beyond
their wheat.
| In the mean time the fact faces tbs
public that about 20, 600 bushels OF whea
were ground up without the consent o
the owners.
