Had an Eye to Business

Joe Chapman, the boy who was con-
victed of petit larceny at the May
term of circuit court and was sentenced
to 80 days imprisonment in the county
Jail, was discharged last Sunday. Dur
ing his incarceration in Jail, by his ex-
cellent behavior. he worked himself
into the good graces of Jailer Fitz-
Gerald and was allowed the freedom of
the court house the greater portion of
the time, but the confidence imposed
in him was misplaced. Several times
when coyote seal ps were presented to
the county clerk, they were given to
Chapman to put in the stove and burn,
but the young rascal had an eye to
business, and instead of destroying the
scalps he stored them away in his
grip until he had 43 all told,
and when he walked out of Jail
Sunday morning the scalps went with
him. The scalps were worth dollar
apiece, and Chapman soon found con-
federate in Roy Turner, another young
scapegrace, who presented them to
Clerk Kelsay, and made affidavit that
he had killed the animals, and received
an order for county warrant for S43.
The order was issued Monday, and
Turner at once proceeded to Fl. L.
Kuck's. where he traded the order for
two saddles. Fortunately the trick
was discovered before Turner had
time to get out of town. and he is now
held under arrest while officers are
searching for Chapman.

ant compliments until Chief OF Honor
Mrs. Palker announced that refresh
ments would be served. And the re-
freshments were Hood Rivers choicest
Strawberries and cream. and such
strawberries, big, red, juicy berries,
such as are produced at no other place
in the world except Hood River. To
say they were delicious only half ex-
presses their excellence, for 'one must
eat them to appreciate their quality,
words cannot express 1t. For more
than an hour the visitors enjoyed the
generosity of the hospitable people OF
Hood River but time sped on so rapidly
that minutes fed as seconds, and all
regretted, when apprized by the shrill
whistle of the Regulator, that the
homeward journey must be begun
A number of the party had availed
themselves fan opportunity to witness
an Indian war dance that was progress
sing at the Armory, hence there was
some delay in embarkiug, but when
all were once more on board and the
Regulator was pointed toward The
Dalles, hearty cheer went up for
Hood River, and the real jolity of the
excursion began.
There are times when the most
sedate return to childhood, and if any,
thing would cause such result it is to
feed crowd on Hood River straw
berries. In this event it was either
the strawberries or the pleasant sur
roundings created an unusual exuber
ance. and transformed old men and
women into children, so that all man
ner of childish glee prevailed and fun
and laughter reigned until The Dalles
was reached at 2:30 Sunday morning.

TWO BOLD HIGHwAYMEN.
Hold Up the McEwen-C Canyon City Stage
In Baker County.

Hold Up the McEwen-Canyon City Stage
In Baker County.
At 9:45 A. NJ. Thursday, says the
Baker City Democrat, as the McEwen.
Canyon City stage was nearing the
summit of Huckleberry mountain Jerry
Fleetwood, the driver, was confronted
by two masked men, who were "armed
to the teeth" and "throw up your
hands" was the cool salutation. The
order, was promptly opeyed and Mr..
Fleetwood and Receiver r. S.
Sheridan, of the Roseburg land Office,
the only passengers on board, were
soon in the hands of the bold highway
men, who lost no time in taking an in
ventory of the stock in transit.
There was no express box on the
stage and the outlaws made an inspec-
tion of the contents of the mail sacks.
They took all the registered letters and
valuable packages, but they were not
satisfied and the knife was again re-
sorted to in the dissection of the pas
senger's valice. Nothing of value
being found in the grip the victims
were requested to hand over their
money. Mr.. Fleetwood made them a
modest donation of S125. He had $40
in another pocket but not being pressed
he held on to this amount Mr..
Sheridan was less liberal than his COM
panion, his contribution amounting to
S1O.S5.
"Now gentleman, you can move on"
was the next order given by the rob.
bers. and the company not being as
congenial as it might have been, the
driver cracked his whip and tight
rein was not drawn over his steeds
until the town of McEwen was reached.
The robbers had their heads covered
with -four sacks and wore bandana
handkerchiefs around their necks.
Their feet were covered with gunny
sacks. They were dressed alike, each
wearing blue overalls and jumpers
One of the robbers is about five feet
seven inches tall and weighs about
140 pounds. The other is about five
feet eight inches and weighs about
ITO pounds.

Struck Coal Again.

The coal vein underlying The Dalles
that has been discovered at the brew
cry and electric light works, was yes.
,erday struck in we'll which Mr..
Kretzer is drilling at the diamond
Mills, at depth of 81 feet below the
surface. This settles beyond doubt
that the vein is permanent and is ex-
tensive, the mills being 1000 feet west
of the brewery and about the same
distance south of the light works. The
vein where it was drilled through at
the mills was five feet in thickness and
vas covered with 27 feet of soap stone,
while underneath is solid granite. The
coal at the mills is of the same quality,
Ignite, as was struck at the other two
points. A move is now on foot to sink
prospect we'll on the hill near the
fair grounds, where, if the vein is
struck, it will be some 500 feet below
the surface, which coal miners say will
determine if it is merchantable quail.
