the number of murders and suicides
which were perpetrated in this country

Undoubtedly the republicans are de-
cieving themselves with reference to
what the result of the coming election
will be, since they are estimating that
The Dalles will go three to one for Nc
Kinley. This is probably on par

Sherman county, which they believe
will be stand-off, while G strong Nc
Kinley man writes from precinct in
that county, that has AZ voters, that he
is the only Mckinley man in it.
While making his daily tour of the |
East End this morning, the TN. re-
porter was informed of an attempt to !
ho'd up one of our citizens of that part |
of the city. Last night between the
hours of ] and o'clock Mr.. -. on |
his way ohome, saw two men stafd-
ing in the dark on the corner opposite |
Moody's warehouse, having a suspicion
that something was wrong, he stepped |
off the sidewalk into the street and |
started to run. When passing the |
two men in 'the dark" he heard two
loud Whistles, as if used for signal.
1t was Immediately answered by an
other loud whistle, which seemed to
come from the rear of Blaser's wagon
shop, fearing that he was about to be
relieved of all lie possessed, Mr.. -,
once more started his pace up Second
street. He succeeded in evading the
bold and naughty "thugs' and arrived
home safe and sound.
