There will be a great decrease In the
production Of hops In Oregon ana Wash
ingtOn this year The hop industry In
previous years has been one OF the
largest In these States, but OverprO-
duction has brought the price down to
an Improbable figure, and In the last

States have been plowed up, and it IL

An alteration occurred at British
Hollow New Years night which came
very near proving serious affair.
Joe Udelhoven and Fritz Wickendall
were under the influence of the bev-
erage known as ..red eve" and in the
course of events they began to quar-
rel and then to fight Wickendall
succeeded in getting one of Udel-
hoven fingers between his teeth and
he shut down like steel trap, thus
making a speedy amputation Of the
member. While this was going on
Udelhoven pulled out knife and
stabbed his opponent in the back of
the head several times 1t was
thought at the time that the hours of
Wickendall's life were numbered. and
the physician in attendance stated
that he would not live until morning.
But the next day the gentleman was
around and appeared to be in good
humor. The matter was settled by
the two men and no suit will be
brought.

The Mails AIisused.

Henry Vincent resides in Rockville
with his wife and wife's sister, Miss
Curtis. For some time they have re-
ceived from Lancaster through the
mails anonymous letters which con-
tanned matter of a threatening and ex-
ceedingly devilish character The
import of these letters seems to be a
desire on the part of the writer to
drive Henry Vincent away from home
so as to give the said writer an oppor-
tunity to become possessed of his
wife or the sister Miss Curtis. The
matter was placed in the hands of a
post Office inspector who came here a
short time ago and his labors resulted
in several witnesses being brought
before the grand jury at Madison a
few days ago-Postmaster w. F. Nc
Coy of Lancaster and others. One of
the witnesses was an expert on pen
manship and on examination he de
elared the writing in the anonymous
letters to compare exactly with that
of Thomas Vincent, brother of Henry
who resides in Lancaster. Those in

much on the matter, claiming that no

case has not developed sufficiently to
