ELoouENTLY SENTENCED.
Judge Wound Up His High-Falutin
Speech with q Brilliant Hit.


Speech with q Brilliant Hit.
North Dakota's Col. Plummer was in
st. Paul the other day telling stories
He tells one about judge, says the
Pioneer Press, that was shaken from
NorthsDakota to Mexico, and the peo-
pie down there, who tired of conduct
ing their own hangings, gave him
welcome and filed him up seven times
a week. One night, after playing
poker all night on the losing side of the
table. he walked into the court with
his hair pulling. He made up his mind
to surprise the Mexico boys. There
was a poor greaser to. sentence for
murder, and he let him have all he
knew right and left for an hour, and
wound up by saying:
''But hope is not for you. For you
the zephyrs will not successfully comba
the ice king; the prairie will not endue
its carpet Of glory, and the little brook
will never go singing and bounding on
it's way to the sea for the delectation OF
your soul; never again will the noun
tains assume their green crowns, and
blossom for you, Jose Marie Jararo,
for
He looked about him and saw the
crowd IN court was staring at him wild
eyed; they had never heard him in that
strain before. Most of them thought he
had gone mad.
This won't do, he thought to him
self. 'These people will think 1 am
crazy. I'll let 'em down easy" He
fixed his eye again on the prisoner.
These things are not for you,
say; for, Jose Marie Jararo, you will
not be in it. 1t is the sentence of this
court that on next Friday you be hanged
by the neck until you're dead-euss
your Mexican hide!'
There was sigh of relief from the
crowd. The judge had saved himself
by timely return to the vernacular.
And Col. Plummer's auditors were so
wrapt up in the story that they didn't
hear the suggestion for an extra ses-

heimer.

An Awful Snake Story from Ben Open
Ben Oppenheimer, the well-known
commercial traveller, says the follow
ing is actually true. He was camping
in Yucatan some years ago, when one
afternoon, while walking over q desert,
thinking of little but the time when he
would arrive in camp, he heard q
peculiar rattling sound that seemed to
come from pile of rocks. He at once
made an investigation and was re-
warded by the discovery of a nastodon
rattlesnake, which he was on the point
of dispatching 80 as to put it out OF its
misery, as the rocks had so fallen that
a portion of the snakes body was badly
mangled and torn. In the matter of
taking the reptiles life he hesitated,
owing to the pathetic and pleading ex-
preston in the creatures eyes. 1t
quite unnerved him to commit murder,
so he rolled the rocks off and awaited
results, which came in the shape of
very pronounced gratitude. The de-
lighted and thankful creature wriggled
over to him and rubbed his leg with
a grateful air that moved him. Hav-
lug some cotton in his valise, he bound
up the wounded part and left the snake
as comfortable as possible. Five years
later he was there again, and, in the.
same locality, found the same snake,
which recognized him and insisted on
following him. He finally got back
north and had for a travelling COM
panion the snake, which was allowed
to wander at will. AS a natural conse-
quence, Ben and his dumb companion
became the best of chums.- The reptile
was kept in the house and one night
when Ben had retired and left the
snake down stairs in the dining room,
he was suddenly awakened by the crash
Of glass, followed by the falling of
heavy body. He arose in his bed only
to hear a groan and the crashing of
bones. In flash he bounded out of
bed, into his dressing gown and re-
paired to the room from whence came
the sound of strife. Imagine his hor-
ror on striking light to see his pet
snake coiled around mans bleeding
body, which it had lashed to the stove
and was hugging violently. On the
floor was burglars dark lantern and
D kit of tools, while the snake in order |
TO display his presence of mind, had |
his tail out of the window
"What for?" inquired a Hstner in |
excitement.
"Rattling for policeman"

ward the Dignity of a City.
There is no prettier or more favor.
ably located little town in Eastern
Oregon than Dnfur, no more hospitable
and congenial people anywhere than
those who compose her citizens. AT
least this is the conclusion arrived at
by the representative of the TINES.
MoUNTAINEER, who visited that place
last Saturday. The town is very
prettily situated on the north bank OF
Fifteen Mile, on an elevated piece OF
ground, with just sufficient grade to
furnish good drainage. The streets
are broad and regular, and the build
ings all substantially constructed.
Altogether it has been only about
ten years since the town sprang into
existence, it has population OF some
200 or 25O, and has school employing
two teachers and an enrolment at
present of los pupils; two church build
ings, the Methodist and United Breth-
rem, both of which have regular church
organizations, as also has the Chris
tian church, and three fraternal soci-
eties-Odd Fellows, Workmen and
Woodmen.
Perhaps the existence and growth OF
Dufur is due more to the location OF
the well-known Dufur Touring mills
and the S. B. Medicine company
there than any other agents. The
Touring mills, by producing most
excellent quality of the staple of life,
have established a reputation not only
for themselves but for the town. And
the S. B. Medicine Co.. which manufac-
lures thousands of cases of its popular
remedies and sends them abroad each
year, brings the town of Dufur into
prominence.
The mercantile business of Dufur is
conducted by Johnson Bros, who carry
complete stock of general merchan-
disc, Mrs. Warren, dealer in notions,
candies, etc., c. P. Balch, druggist,
and Brown & Edmunson, butchers.
Another prominent interest of the
place is Ward & Sons lumber yard, of
which Mr.. W. 81. Moore is manager,
and who is conducting a general car
penter shop also, where all classes of
scroll and other fancy wood work are
neatly executed. There are also T. L.
Helfrich, the shoemaker, Mr.. Dicken-
son, harness dealer, the Grand Central
Hotel, presided over by Mr.. David But
ler, and Bohna's feed stable, which go
to complete the business interests of
the town. But no place the size of
Dufur would be complete without a
village blacksmith and village school
master. The former is Mr.. M. ]. An
derson, than whom no more congenial
spirit ever lived. And the education
of the future population of Dufur is
under the supervision of Prof. A.
Frazier, to whom the high standard of
the Dufur school, which has been a
great factor in the building up of the
place, is largely due.
Within the past year Dufur has had,
not exactly building boom, but a very
material growth, eight new residences
have been erected, and at present Mr..
J. A. Gulliford is constructing what,
when completed, will be the handsom-
est dwelling in the town.
In every respect Dufur is indeed
prosperous town, and so long as her
population is made up of such hospi-
table and congenial people it must re-
main an attractive spot.

LOST ALMA MILLER,
A Party Will Institute A Search For Her
Remains Sunday.


Remains Sunday.
Most of our readers will remember
the case of Alma Miller, 6-year-old
child, who was supposed to have been
stolen by gypsies from the home of her
parents in Grand Ronde Valley few
years ago. Mr.. Miller has never given
up hope of eventually finding his
child, but rec ent discoveries point to
her death, and that instead of being
stolen she wandered away from home,
got lost and starved to death or was
killed by wild animals. Last week a
farmer found the skull of child few
miles from the Miller home, the teeth
of which show that the age of the per-
son to whom it belonged was six years.
No clothing, or other bonss have yet
been found, but a searching party will
explore the country thoroughly next
Sunday. It is expected that all the
men in the valley will take part, and
that fully 500 persons will be there.

Few fans are made in the United States,
