onr local celebration, this year. This
10 retrogresSiOn. 1t was recited last
year, in an exceedingly artistic man.
ner, by Miss Minnie Ycager, and the
dramatic effect produced was the sub
ject Of much favorable comment.
Councilman Lammon very nearly
had serious casualty to happen to
him Monday, at the n p. depot. His
horse, attached to Il carriage, became
frightened at Il moving locomotive
and started to run. The rig was up
set throwing Mr.. l.. and boy who
occupied it with him to the ground,
fortunately without injury.
+ Lawyer Israel has secured a new
trial for Jack Riley, who is charged
with grand larceny in approprlatlng
money that apparently had no owner,
on a Black Jack" table, to his own
use, on the night Of the 9Th inst. The
motion was sustained on the ground
that the jury was allowed to separate
without admonition by the Court dur
ing the progress of the trial. The
case will come on to he heard at the
August term.
The curfew ordinance. so far, has
worked like charm, but then, it is
said that a New broom sweeps clean"
which is the equivalent for saying that
first results generally come nearer
hitting the mark than when the bow
which twangs the arrow has been
spent by exercise. 1t is hoped, how
ever, that the vigilance of our officers
will not relax until the curbstone
meetings OF young hoodlums are en-
tirely broken up.
The Superior Court Monday denied
the motion of Troy & Falknor, Evans
attorneys, to quash the information
on which he is held for trial on a
charge Of forging State warrants.
The attorneys based their motion on
the claim that the warrant of arrest
was not issued within the required
time after the information was filed.
After their motion had failed, they
filed demurrer to the information
which was argued yesterday.
The defense in the suit of Mrs.
Mary c. Wiley against P. l.. Wiley,
for divorce and alimony, is that no
valid marriage had been consummated
between the plaintiff and her husband
that when the alleged marriage cere-
mony took place in California p. L.
Wiley already had a wife in this
State and county. The details of the
case are said to be very sensational
and to attract a crowd of scandal
mongers whenever the case is called.
Miss Hattie Lohr, OF Spokane, came
over last week to attend the Christian
EndeavOr Association, at Seattle, and
Saturday came on to this city to visit
her parents and the many friends who
knew her from her former residence
here. Miss L. has been employed the
past two years in the sales department
OF several leading firms of the inland
metropolis and has become quite pro.
ficient in business methods. She left
yesterday, for her field of active duty.
Sunday next is to be a gala day, in
augurating the celebration on the
Fourth in this place by the presence
of visitors from Tacoma, who will come
by the steamer State of Washington and
arrive about noon. The Multnomah
will make trip to Matlock rollway
and bring up the loggers who are to
participate in the three days of fes.
tivity. She will return at an early
hour in the afternoon permitting the
visitors from abroad to exchange
greetings with each other.
The five taps OF the fire-bell Mon
day night which gave warning to
young people that the curfew Ordi.
nance had gone into effect, and that
the hour had arrived after which it
was violation of its provisions to be
on the street, created no little COM
motion among children of hoodlum
tendencies. 1t was very generally
obeyed, however, and doubtless will be
until the novelty wears off. when an
arrest or two will probably be re.
quired to revive its potency.

The nest Of swans eggs which has
been the object of so much attention
and eolicitude at Tumwater Falls failed
to hatch q single chick, from some
unexplained cause. The eggs remain.
ing in the nest after the period OF
incubation had passed were three
only of the original eight. One egg
was lost by rolling out of the nest
into the river. and the only surmise is
that the others missing were stolen, as
the birds had deepened their nest sui
ficiently to guard against a repetition
of the mishap. The failure of the
project to stock the park with this
graceful bird is matter of very gen.
eral regret.
