Tared AMI Feathered.

WALLA WALLA, Wn., June o.
Early this morning fifty masked men,
heavily armed, took Joseph Fossati
and Robie Allen, cOlored woman
who runs house of i'll repute, and
gave them a coat of tar and feathers.
Soon after midnight the men, all wear
ing masks over their faces, went to the
house occupied by the woman in an
alley between Main and Rose streets.
A hack followed them and stopped In
front of the house. The men broke
open the door,. They dragged Fossati
and the woman from the bed, and car
ried them to the hack, which was
driven rapidly to the outskirts of the
city. The clothes of the two were
torn of, and heavy coat of tar and
feathers applied. The two were then
ordered to leave the city.
The job was well planned and ex-
ecuted. The thoroughfare through
which the hack passed was thoroughly
guarded by armed men, aid any at
tempt to stop them would have been
futile. Two minutes after their noise
less approach they were out of sight,
and before large number of specta-
tors recovered from their astonish-
ment.
Fossati is the son of a highly re-
spected family, and has had more
than average advantages of life, He
has persisted In living with this wo-
man. Friday they went to Dayton
aud we're married. They returned
here Saturday. Mrs, Fossati, the
mother of young Fossati, is prostrated
with grief, and is in precarious con-
diti0n.

Lake Creeks Big Grizzly.

Simeon Farlow, the Lake creek
stockman, reports that the big grizzly
bear that has been making regular
raids Oh the stock Of that section was
caught about two weeks ago in huge
steel trap, set for him to put his feot
into. Though big, stout trap it was
unable to hold the determined and
willy monarch of the forest. He paved
the dirt at a tremendous rate and sue
ceeded In bracing himself against log
and with the aid of bis forepaws de-
liberately pulled his hind leg through
the trap, leaving large hunks of his
bearship's precious flesh, hide and
some muscle in the steel spikes and
alongside of the trigger clasp, while his
life's blood flowed over the hill like
the battle Of Gettysburg, and bled for
miles and until the chase for him was
dropped. This grizzly has made big
record for himself in the past six or
seven years and has been amazingly
bad the last three years, making regu-
lar monthly raids and then retreating
to the Fish lake country. He has xii
led twenty head Of cattle for the Far
lows and other stockmen In the Lake
creek section, amounting to 5000 worth
of beeves in three years and there is
no accounting for the damage he has
done In other sections in his path.
Only two weeks ago, near Perry Far.
lows house, with one stroke Of his ter
ribly paw he jerked over two feet of
hide from cows shoulder and killed
her. Carl Bieberstadt, with pack of
dogs, chased him long distance but
the dogs were afraid to give him bat
tie. Though the beast is not as large as
dead ReelfCot, of Pilot Rock fame, he
makes a larger track. He never mo.
Tests small stock, invariably attacking
the largest ones in the neighbornood
He never touches cattle with bells on.
He always drags his prey consider
able distance before taking his mess,
and then leaves the section. On re-
turning for subsequent feed until his
meat gets no good, he invariables drags
the beef off another distance before
feeding. The stockmen will give big
reward for his destruction. Over 100
Lear have been killed in that section
the past several years. but only one
was large sized monster, having been
killed about two years ago.-Ashland

Hunting for Wife and Children.

Mr.. H. Notion, Of Maryville, Cali
f,rnia, called at the Democrat office
this morning and directed the Demo-
crat to offer a reward 10 5000 for infor-
nation which will lead 10 the recovery
of his wife and children, particularly
the children. The case is an interest.
ing one. About ten years ago MIR.
Notion then residing in Marion
county, was married to a Linn county
lady. Six years ago they moved to
the vicinity of Maryville, where Mr..
Notion now has big sheep ranch
with about five thousand sheep aud
two thousand lambs. He informed
the Democrat that his married life
was particularly happy cne. Nearly
two years ago Charles McGlothing be-
gun working for him. Three months
ago he discharged him, ou account of
his drinking. His wife even had made
the request number of times. A
month later MeGlothing came back
and wanted work again; but was re-
fused. One Sunday morning Mr..
Notion, who has two ranches, went to
the other ranch and returned Monday
evening. Two hours after he had left,
his wife, three children and McGloth-
ing skipped out for Oregon In light
Studebaker wagon, drawn by two
horses, branded 0, some books and
about $4O0 IN money. Mr.. Motion i'm
mediately followed and got track Of
them once or twice, and has chased
through Coos county, Yaquina Bay
and even eastern Oregon without
avail. 1t was his opinion that they
would come to this county. One
would not think, though, that wo'
man would run away with another
man to her former home. The family
consists Of Mrs, Motion, dark hair and
eyes, with only three teeth, the Others
having been extracted recently for tht

Dragging the River.

are being made by Charles Catlin to
recover the body of his son Seth, who
was drowned in the COwlitz river
three weeks ago today, Graphing
and blasting has been carried on, and
with great effort wire net and three
cables have been stretched across the
river. II is believed that these will
eventually catch the body. A dozen
men are patrolling the river daily for
twelve miles, and a reward of $l00 has
been offered for the recovery of the
body. Many Indians are searching.
1t is believed that the ley cold condi-
lion of the water prevented the body
from rising in the usual nine days,

II look upon Robert Lincoln as the

delegation, and when the break comes
on the favorites, Lincoln and Allison
will get the benefit of it. The Iowa
senator is well-balanced, sound

other candidates are week. 1t is my

Of business is rising, even as 1t was

Wool and Butter Item.

That there is still profit in sheep
raising if properly attended to is
proven cont lusively by the the ex-
perience of George W. Smith, who cal
led at the Gazett office yesterday and
related the following experience: II
have a four-year-old eve that u year
ago last February gave birth to two
lambs. Yesterday | sheared them and
the combined weight Of the three
was 46s pounds, one Of the lambs, a
buck, shearing % pounds. This wool
at twelve cents per pound Is worth
$5.5S, The two yearling lambs are
W, rth rs per head or $6, in addition to
which have two spring lambs that
will sell for at least 81 each. Thus, in
sixteen mouths, from one eve worth,
say, $3.50, which ! still have on hand
!, as the original investment, | can show
a profit of $l4 5S. The cost of feed for
the sheep was practically nothing, as
they had run on pasture with the COW,
aud had received no special atten
fion.p Mr.. Smith, however, is splen--
did Judge Of stock and all his animals
receive excellent care. He is now
milking COW that is making record
as phenomenal as that Of the sheep re-
lated above. Since March Is, a period
bf thirteen week., l56 p"uads Of butter
have heen made from her milk. Dur
Ing three weeks of this time her cal

Che lime thp COW has furnished Mr.
Smiths family with their cream aqd
