Major Bruce and VIM. Grid have for
| many years occupied ! 45-acre tract of
land to which they hold no title. T.se
tract was decided to them, but the person
making deeds had. no equitable title 10
the lands until the third of this month,
when filing was made on the tract by
! john A. Ia lor, recent arrival from
the east, it was the property of Uncle
Sam, the land having never been patent
ed Since making the filing, another
| difficulty has arisen that may prevent
Mr.. Taylor from completing his title to
the premises. The Oregon & California
R. R Co. claims the land under the act
of 1868, which granted the company the
| unoccupied lands in the odd sections for
distance of twenty miles on either side
of its line. The land in question was in
spected last week by T. E Grote, zp-
praiser for the Oregon & California, who
placed the conlpany's valuation upon it
with view to offering it for sale. What
the outcome will be is matter of COLI
lecture. The matter will probably be
settled in the U S. courts, in which event
decision is not likely to be had for
monts and perhaps years.
J. S. FELTON, returned Monday from
brief visit in Eugene. While in that city
he was the guest of H. D. Wylie, whose
farm adjoined that of Mr. Fenton i'll the
state of Minnesota, where they resided
for many years previous to removing to
Oregon. Mr.. Wylie's wife is the lady
who recovered so rniraculously last Easter
after being without the use of her lower
limbs for period of eleven years. Mr..
FELTON,. wko is an old friend of Mrs.
Wylie's, says she attributes her cure to
faith and PRAYER and claims that Christ
alone was the healer. After losing the
use of her limbs she received medical at

Ed Scott is again confined i'll the
county bastile, having been, turned over
to the authorities by his bondsmen last
Thursday evening. During that day
Scott had filled himself up with liquor
aud was OH the war path. threatening
dire disaster to several persons against
whom he claimed 20 have a grievance.
III the evening he became involved in
saloon row with logger who had come
down from the Mckenzie with drive of
logs Later on, his sister, Mrs. Lafe
Stewart, entered the saloon and entreated
him to go home with her and mend his
ways. This he refused to do at first but e
nally was induced to go with her to Skip
toms stable, where, according to pre-
arranged plan, Sheriff Osborn and Deputy
Skipton were in waiting. In turning
him over to the officers Mrs. Stewart
stated that she was unwilling to longer,
as one of his bondsmen, allow him his
liberty as he had threatened violence to
numerous persons who were in danger
unless he was confined in Jail. Scott
was Immediately taken to the sheriffs
office where he was searched and re-
lieved of his personal effects before being
again incarcerated. The scene at the
court house is said to have been most
affecting one. There he abused his sis
ter SO shamefully for her action in turn
ing him over to the officers that she
tainted several times and was in faint
when he was taken from the sheriff s
office to the Jail. Scott is a desperate
character when drinking and the opinion
prevails that he should be kept confined
pending his trial.
