A TURNER HORSE TRADE.
Complications Arising 1hereirom Being
Untangled in Justice Court

Complications Arising 1hereirom Being
Untangled in Justice Court.
Justice Of the Peace johnson is
Wrestling with damage suit this after
noon, wherein J. A. Kelly sues Solon
Baker and o. A. Pound each for $40.
The parties live in and near Turner and
Pound is constable Of that precinct.
The trouble arises from horse
trade. II is stated that Baker
sold mare to Kelly agreeing to take
his pay in labor. Later Kelly, with
Bakers consent, traded the mare off for
horse. In the fullness of time, the
stipulated labor not having been per-
formed by Kelly, Baker repleyined the
horse in the Aumsville justice court and
obtained possession through Constable
Pound. Then the matter was brought
to circuit court and Judge Boise set
aside the action OF the Aumsville, j. p.
This left the horse in Bakers posses
sion and he declined TO give him up on
Kelly's demand. Now Kelly sues Baker
and the constable for $40 apiece,
damages.
A cloud Of witnesses and spectators
are down from Turner, and the trial is
proceeding before a jury of four, A. j.
Basey, Scott Bozorth, Thos. Sims and
w. NJ. Beckner.

THE HOLIDAY TRADE
Was Better Than Expected by Salem
Business Men.
Judielous Advertising Helped the Mer-
chants to DO Most Profitable
Christmas Business.

Christmas has come and gone; the
season of Christmas shopping is over,
and Salem merchants are pleasantly
surprised, on figuring up results, to find
that their most sanguine expectations
have been exceeded. This is the unani-
nous report from JOURNAL advertisers.
Three weeks ago there was something
in the nature of cold sweat prevalent
among those merchants who had laid in
large stocks of Christmas goods, and as
late as 10 days ago they were doubtful
and blue. But toward the last there
was a steady increase of the busine -s
done, with the result that stocks were
cleaned up and turned into money 10 a
very gratifying extent.
One merchant says that this is the
first Christmas since years when he
had the money in his safe on December
20 TO pay all his bills and leave hand
some surplus.
Much Of this good result is due 10
judicious advertising on the part OF Sa-
lem merchants. A glance over THE
JOURNALS columns for the last month
will show that our advertising patrons
have used printers ink literally and
wisely in calling the attention Of the
public 10 their wares.
Instead Of throwing a lot Of money
away advertising holiday goods in a
"New Years edition" 10 be issued after
the holidays would he over, they took
The JOURNALS advice to push their
Christmas goods during the season
when people were buying that class Of
goods.
The result has been good liberal
holiday trade, with a gratifying balance
on the right side OF the cash book.
The merchants will please accept THE
JOURNALS congratulations.

August Fisher Went Hunting Friday and
Has Not Returned

August Fisher Went Hunting Friday and
Has Not Returned.
Eugene Guard, Dec. 20
August Fisher, well known farmer,
who resides about two miles south OF
Eugene, has been missing since Friday
morning and various conjectures have
bee made as to his extended absence
Mr.. Fisher left home Friday morning
about O'Clock telling his wife he was
going TO take hunt for birds for the
Sunday and Christmas dinners. Con-
trary 10 his usual custom Mr.. Fisher
tied up his dog before leaving, and took
his rifle, large GO-S0 caliber instead of
his shotgun,
Half an hour afterward Mrs. Fisher
loo sened the dog which Immediately set
out on the tvail of his master, but re
turned after time and for some time
presisted in bowling disconsonately.
Whether the dog found Mr.. Fisher and
was sent home or not cannot yet be
told.
Searching parties of 20 or more per-
ons hunt ed for Mr.. Fisher Sunday and
yesterday without avail and a much
larger one is out today, 80 that il is
probable some trace of the man will
soon be found.

NEWsBoY URGES A REFORM.
Unique Letter to the missioner
From William III. Carter.

William H. Carter. who signs himself as
the General Manager OF the National
Newsboys Association, recently wrote to
the District Commissioners directing their
attention to the alleged ill-treatment of
newsboys at the corner of Ninth Street
and New York Avenue northwest, by po-
licemen of the First Precinct. The docu
ment is unique and interesting. 1t fol-
lows:
| want to inform you of one Of Your officer s
wrongness, and that is doing newsboys wrong
by running from our sale places, and that Is
Officer johnson. No IS. OF the First Precinct.
He makes it 4 continue thing o. running Iny
boy and also me. He don't stop at running. He
has arrested for the offence. and according
to your laws has the right TO select for ous-
selves conner which to sell our papers. I
have been on this conner for five years, and Is
the only officer ever had any trouble with me
This is not the first time he has tried TO run
me from the conner. He has made tine attempt
four times, and | have only reported him once
to Major Moore, and the lieutenant OF the First
Precinct. and every time since that he has been
angry with and said he would keep me IN
| trouble make me stay away from that
conner and New York Avenue northwest, and
every since the death Of Major hooye he has beer.
| continually trying TO drive away 1t j.
| strange he can see l do so much, and there IS
| a stationary officer there and he has never has
| no complaint.
| The Commissioners referred the matter
| to the police department. Lieutenant
| Amiss, Of the First Precinct. reported to
Major Sylvester that Carter had been ar
rested by policeman Johnson and fined in
the Police Court. The lieutenant thought
| there was some animus between Carter and
| the policeman as result of the arrest.
Lieutenant Amiss has instructed the pc
| liceman TO allow the boys to sell papers on
| the corner so long as they conduct them
! selves in an orderly manner.
In commenting upon the case Major Syl-
vester said to the Commissioners in his
recommendation:
| have myself found that it is necessary to in
| struct persons delivering newspapers at the cor
ner in question to clean up pieces OF wrapper
| and paper which blow in the streets, under pen
| atty of having them all removed il it was moi
| done. Carter represents but small number o
| the boys engaged selling newspapers, and Is no
| we'll disposed toward those who are not member
| Of his so-caled association IL is necessary tina
nevsboys at corners. especially at street railwa!
| functions, be properly disciplined. | think tina
! the complaint is the result OF attempt 4
! change the conditions and relieve Ibis corner o
| unnecessary obstruction.
! Carter will be informed by the Com
/ mssioners in accordance with the repor1
of the chief OF police.
