Tuesday afternoon John Patter.on
came TO this city in post haste after a
doctor; stating that Mr.. Elijah Willfong
had attempted TO hang himself at the
barn OF his eon.in-iaw, Alex Mcdonald.
The facts as nearly as We could get them
were az follows:
Mr.. Wiilfong is about 50 years old, is
quite deaf and has nearly lost his mind.
de has been afflicted lately with erysip-
ilas about the face and eyes and has been
frequently heard to say that he did not
want to live. In consequence OF these
threats he has been watched to some ex-
tent. Shortly after he cat his dinner
Tuesday he went to the barn and taking
q rope fastened one end to the joice over
head. He then by standing on q scant-
land. one end OF which WAS placed upon
a box or something Of that nature,
brought his head near the joice. He
then tied the rope around his neck, but
not in slip knot, and stepped of tn.
scantland. This gave him q drop of
but four or five inches, not far enough
10 injure him materially but he would
have been strangled to death in q few
minutes. Some children happeLing Oh
the scene about this time, hurried 10
the house and reported the matter to
their father. Mr.. Mcdonald went 10
the barn as quickly as possible. and,
cutting the rope, laid the old man down.
He mad choked himself till he had quit
breathing, but in a few minutes rezpira-
ton was restored.-Scio Press.

Those who attended the athletic enter

given. Under Mr. John Ames, a student
Of Stanford, who will return to that
college next fall, after training Of only
about two months the class did as good
work as is often seen after long train

United the Knot.

The Dalles Chronicle gives the partic
ulars OF a marriage and divorce OF 1855,
which happened on Fiiteen-Nile creek,
near The Dalles. The facts are well au.
thenticated, though thehistorian prefers
that his name be not nlenti3ned openly.
In the year named Lew Henderson was
justice Of the peace on Fifteen-Milf
ceeek, with jurisdiction OF 100 miles or
more 10 the south and east, and as far as
the Cascades to the west. There came
one beautiful morning couple to be
married, and Henderson was requested
to tie the knot. He, of course did 30 in
the approved manner OF the day. Three
months later the same couple came be-
fore him, bright and smiling. but with
the following complaint, made by the re-
cently-made husband:
Judge, three months ago you tied the
knot which made US one, tut we find we
are not suited to each other. We have
made mistake. There is an incompati.
biiity between us, and We want 10 be
severed from the marriage relation. We
want divorce"
"Bu., my dear sir" said Henderson,
/ am only justice OF the peace. | can
marry you, but / have no author to
grant divorce"
"who has?"
81 don't know; perhaps Salem would
be the nearest place"
well, now, We don't intend 10 walk
to Salem. You tied the knot, aLd |
don't see any reason why YOU can't nntie
IL. Can't you saw whereas something
and turn US loose7''
Henderson was the mott accommodate
ing man In the world. lie was plainly
perplexed, but resolved TO 90 what he
could 10 grant She prayer Of the couple
standing before him. So he required os
each tha, they sign a contract in dnpli-
cate absolying the other from the yoHs oi
marriage they had taken three months
previously, and in the language OF mis-
petitioners, turned them ioose )" Meth
er Henderson nor any one else has ever
heard OF them from that day TO this.
Perhaps both are dead. The grass over
Henderson's grave has been green many
years.

wATERLoo's DISGRACE.

"Sodom was a place OF morality com.
pared TO Waterloo at the best. What
has the future in store for US? But

will try TO suppress the wild and wooly
yahoo who takes upon himself the duty

ordinances relating 10 gaming or gamb-
ling OF any nature whatever. The or
dinanee bill passed along quietly to the
final vote. Recorder j. @. Hutton in a
brief speech gave the council TO under

act OF the kind, neither would he attach
his official seal to the document. After
this the vote came. Councilmen voting

mayor opportunity TO veto It, the mayor
Immediately rendered his resignation,
which was duly accepted. The marshal
also resigned. J. Harbin, councilman,
also left gracefully by rendering his res
ignation. Recorder Hutton, than whom
there is none more upright and just in
this benighted village, fell in line with
the general move and was released from
the duty Of clerk The council has been
filled by appointment.

vine. was marshal last year.
The mayor at present is ]. III. Turpin
A man who will write and introduce o
bill oil the kind and nature OF the one
that caused the "ruction" will no doubt
bring the morals OF the town TO high

The bill has been remoleied by an
other.
Had the bill passed, any gambler
could set up his faro layout in the public
streets and run all day or until such

with the change that viii throw open, SO
to speak, the gates OF bell for the youth
