Alleged Crookedness.

The Oympian has discovered a
e ma1es nest in the Sheriff. Office.
IL says that con March 9th, 1893, fees
were received on the case OF Mary J.
Dolan vs. George Scammell amount
ing to SlSSG1. The fees resulted from
a sale OF real estate, commission SlS66l,
certificate of sale 81, and return on
execution 81, making $lSSGl in all
received. The records of the Treasurer
show that Of this amount SS.6l was
turned in TO the treasury, leaving a
clean hundred to be accounted for
The sherltf's fee book shows that the
first figure was scratched from the
amount of 1888 81, and was afterwards
filled in again. The records all
around look bad, but there is another
incident which makes the case
appear still worse for some body.
Within the past few weeks leaf has
been torn out OF the Sheriffs day-book
and made away with. This leaf in
Guides the record of business trans
acted from February %, 1898 to March
9, 1898, hence includes the record of
the transaction of the 9th of March in
which the Sheriff, according to the
other records, received the $lSS.6I
which was not all turned over to the
Treasurer. Who got away with the
sheet is not known but the theft must
have been committed while the Sheriff
and his deputy were both out of the Of
flee, at some odd moment during the
day"
The matter should be thoroughly
investigated, and if there has been a
fraud committed, the guilty party
should suffer. So much for the former
administration of that Office. Now for
the present: 1t is culpable carelessnes.
to leave the records of any Office SO
they can be mutilated or stolen. The
doors of the Sheriff's office seem never
to be locked, and principal and deputy
often leave the rooms for hours, giving
an opportunity which seems to have
been improved of defacing, or remov'
ing, record which may afford proof
Of crookedness.

Joseph Elliot, farmer living at
Coppei, l6 miles east of Walla@yNalla,
was killed Tuesday afternoon. Elliot
was engaged in feeding a threshing
machine, when the cylinder broke into
thousand pieces, tearing out the end
and top of the thresher and completely
demolishing the machine. Elliot was
struck by the flying missiles and
thrown from the elevated platform to
the ground. AS soon as possible the
machine was shut down and the farm
hands rushed to his assistance, but he
was found dead, lying under the debris,
with his neck broken, his chest crushed
and large hole in the throat. 1t is
said when the accident occurred pieces
OF the broken cylinder were thrown all
about the field, but none of the other
70 men employed around the machine
was injured. One piece struck horse
attached to the horsepower with such
force to knock the animal down, but
without injury to him. The grain was
bound and considerably soaked with
water by the recent rains, and was so
heavy that when put into the machine
the cylinder became clogged, and the
heavy pressure caused the cylinder to
burst.

City Treasurer OF Seattle, and Phillip

to appoint receiver in case OF fore
closure of mortgage against a farmer

The International Race.

There is not the slightest doubt OF
the American yachts defeat of the
English challenger Vslkyrie III in the
race Saturday, over 30-mile course,
off Seabright, N. ]. She came out s
minutes and 40 seconds aheal OF her
competitor. Tuesdays race, however,
the second out Of the FIVE, was won by
the Valkyrie subject to protest. I'm
mediately before crossing the line at
the start an accident occurred which
doubtless lost the American boat the
race by the mere scratch of AZ seconds.
The contestants approached too close,
and the bowsprit of the Valkyrie
struck the Defenders topmast back
stay, breaking il and bending the top
mast so far to the leeward that the
spar cracked. The fault was plainly
the Valkyrie's, for her competitor had
the right-of-way at the time. The
American boat continued on her way,
with the protest signal displayed. The
Defender tried TO increase her canvass,
but was unable, on account Of the
broken spar, and this was q decided
handicap. Probably couple Of min
utes were lost at the time of the acci-
dent making repairs and before the
Defender continued on her course.
These facts were 90 apparent, that
after an unsuccessful attempt TO have
the contestants resail the race, victory
was accorded the Defender by the cup
committee OF the New York Yacht
Club. This decision did not please
Lord Dunraven, nor his English friends
who were over to witness the contest,
and many Americans express the be-
lief that it would have been better to
have yielded the point and let the De-
fender win without the protest, which
they feel she is amply able to DO. The
third race, yesterday, did not come of.
The Valkyrie returned from the con-
test, after the course had been entered
upon, because, in disregard OF Lord
Dunraven's earnest protest, the route
was INSTRUCTED with so many craft as
to seriously impede the race. The
Defender completed the course.

at Orono. In the hotel where he board
ed was a chambermaid, Minnie Griffin,
He fell desperately in love with her. Mon
day evening he went into the hotel kitchen,
where Minnie happened to be alone. 1t is
surmised that he renewed his attentions
and pleaded with her to marry him. Fin
ally, angry words were heard, as though he
were upbraiding her for her actions, and
then shots were fired. The chairs had
been kicked over, lamp upset, and there
was every indication of a terrible fight
AS help appeared the woman fell in heap
on the floor. Linnehan, probably believ-
ing he had killed the woman, placed the
revolver to his head and fired another shot,
falling on the floor near the body of his
victim. Linnehan has died and the girl is
not expected to recover.

When the night express from the south
reached here last week Thursday night the
body of the colored porter, Wallace Jen-
kins, was taken off the car here, he having
died very suddenly about the time the
train passed East Putney. He had not
been feeling as well as usual that night,
but had made up number of berths after
leaving Brattleboro, and nothing serious
was apprehended by the conductor until he
was found by the train men sitting in
seat in dying condition, surviving but a
few moments. He had been a familiar
figure to the night employees of the station
as he had run on this car some months be-
tween Springfield and Quebec. This Pull
man company's car, and the one which
runs opposite, are the only cars of that
company which pass here, the others being
Wagners. The body was taken to the
undertaking rooms of Clark Chase, where
they remained until Monday night, as the
company were unable to ascertain where
his home was. Monday they found in his
room in Springfield an insurance policy
which gave them clue. He belonged in
Washington, D. c., or in that immediate
vicinity, and the body was shipped there
Monday night. Heart disease was supposed
to be the cause.
