A good many Dallesites have gone
to favorite front streams fishing, but
the Times -Mountaineer force have
found such jaunts unnecessary. They
can stay at home and have all the fun
they want catching eels out of water
pipes. Last evening they got one
somewhat smaller than whale out of
the pipe that leads water to the motor
which furnishes power for the office. |
It was fine large fellow, big enough |
to stop the flow of water in a two |
inch pipe.
Some days ago it was reported here
that a number of horses had been
stolen in the vicinity of Antelope, and
Shei iff Kelly wrote to his deputy at
that place to inquire into the truth of
the statement. The deputy answered
under date of the 18th that he could
not learn of any horse stealing in that
section, and that none of the horse
raisers had reported any loss. Hence
it is quite evident that the "sag ebrush
angels" have not been operating in
the southern part of the county.
