Rain has fallen over Oregon and
MINES WILL HAVE TO CLOSE.
One of the Results of Burdette
OConnor's Damage Suit.

SALT LAKE, Dec. pa special to
the Tribune" from Butte, Mont, says:
The $2,000,000 damage and injunc-
ton suit brought Wednesday by Bur-
dette O'Connor against the Anaconda
and Washoe Copper Companies turns
out to be most astounding feature of
the bitter litigation going on between
the Montana Ore Purchasing Company
and the amalgamated companies. The
court is asked to restrain the defend
ants from mining on veins alleged to
have their apexes in a location called
the Copper Trust.
No suspicion of the real nature of
the action can be gathered from the
complaint itself, Notwithstanding the
extraordinary amount of damages de-
manded. The fact is, however, that it
is no less a matter than an effort to
close down the Anaconda. st. Lawrence
and Never Sweat mines.
A temporary restraining order was
issued by Judge Cheney, and an order
to show cause why an injunction should
not be granted put over for hearing I'M
til January Goth. The restraining or
der was served Thursday, and it was
afterward stated that it would neces-
state the closing of the three MINES.
AS the injunction hearing will not be
heard until January 10th, it was stated
last night that the restraining order

Anecdote of a Great Man.

1.-The Bravest are the tenderest.'
A singular letter written by the Duke
of Wellington reads: Field Marshal
the Duke of Wellington, begs to&ln-
form William Harris that his toad is
alive and we'll"
William Harris was little boy who
had petted a toad till they had become
great friends. William was to be sent
away to school, and when told, he
sought his toad, told him the news as
if he could understand it, and sat down
in the country road and cried as II
his heart would break.
a"Who will feed you when am. gone,
poor thing?'' we can hear him say, and
can imagine his surprise when he
looked up and saw a sturdy soldier be-
side him.
What is the matter, my lad?" asked
the soldier.
The boy told him his trouble, and the
soldier promised to see that the toad
wanted for nothing.
1t is the custom when important per-
sons are ill or situated so as to be of
special interest, to send reports of their
condition to the people. These reports
are called bulletins, and the soldier

Consisting Of Bfencho Riding and Other
feais by a Number Of Vaqueros.
A Thrilling Episode Occurs During
the Afternoon, in Which Britt
Grewel1, a One-Legged Rider,
Comes Near Losing His Life in
an Attempt to Subdue a Vicious
Horse.

SAN JOSE, Dec 22-The jubilee ex
ercises terminated to-day by an outdoor
entertainment at Agricultural Park.
The program consisted of exhibitions
with the lasso, dismounting and re-
mounting while riding at full speed,
picking articles from the ground while
riding swiftly by, broncho riding and
the riding of bulls. Some fifteen or
twenty vaQueroS participated, and the
sport was quite lively, although some
of the bronchos seemed bewildered by
their surroundings and refused to buck.
A thrilling episode occurred during
the afternoon, when Britt GreWell, a
one legged man, but known throughout
the State as an expert rider, was at his
own request given notedly vicious
horse. The animal made fifteen or
twenty terrific jumps Grewell swung
himself down to one side, and support
ing himself by one foot in the stirrup,
and his left hand on the horn Of the
saddle, kicked the animal in the flank
with his timber leg. The horse wheeled
rapidly, and at onceTesumed vigorous
bucking, and before the rider could re-
sumo the saddle he was shaken or.
AS he lay PROSTATE the horse charged
on him twice, striking at him with his
front feet, and narrowly missed his face
each time. The animal then wheeled
and kicked striking Grewell on the
nose, but he had miscalculated the dis
lance, so that but little force was in
the blow, and no great damage was
done He remounted and fully sub
dued the animal
The bullock riding was rather tame,
except when the beasts several times
charged through the crowd in their eff
forts to escape.

GRANTED A NEW TRIAL.
Supreme Court Decision in the
Blackman Case.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. CIV. r.
Blackman, Secretary of a Los Angeles
lighting company, was convicted of feI-
ony for appropriating about S1l, 600. He
appealed to the Supreme Court, one of
the grounds being that after the court
had instructed the jury, and while the
District Attorney was addressing that
body, the Judge left the bench and
courtroom, and was absent for about
ten minutes.
The Supreme Court holds that with
out the immediate presence of the
Judge there can be no court, and that
a defendant convicted without the
Judge being present all Of the time has
just cause for complaint and good
grounds for a reversal OF judgment of
conviction. The case was sent back
for a new trial.
