Chic ken thieves were busy this
week, from Capt. LATE Willey's report,
who lost five fat turkeys Tuesday
night. He says that on the same
night sixty chickens were purloined
from a neighbours yard, and still other
depredations are reported on Bush
prairie. 1t seems that these mis-.
creants were determined to be thank
full even though it be at the expense
of honesty.
1t is matter of regret that several
hours delay on the Northern Pacific
prevented connection with the local
service and consequently the Breezy
Time Co.," did not come Wednesday
evening, to make available the SER
vices of their superb band which had
been rendered for the grand march,
at the Charity Ball that evening.
The delay made it absolutely impossi-
BILE to fulfill the engagement, as much
to the sorrow of the company as it
was 10 the disappointment OF the pro.
motors of the charitable work.
The oyster trade is now exception
ally brisk. Monday the Northern
Light brought up from Oyster Bay 544
sacks of the favorite bivalve, which at
the ruling price brought nearly $1,000
to the oystermen at a single shipment.
Nearly one-half OF the product was for
local dealers and the remainder we're
shipped direct to dealers in Portland,
the Sound cities and Victoria. The
steamer brought up the same trip a
large consignment of clans, as we'll as
90 crates of cranberries, grown upon
the Oyster Bay marshes.
The students in the high school
have signified their appreciation of
Prot. Hawes' services as City Superin-
tendent, by presenting him with a
beautiful watch-charm, appropriately
engraved, and signed testimonial ex-
pressing their regret that circum.
stances have conspired to place him in
another field of duty. The teachers
likewise signified their esteem for the
retiring superintendent by calling
upon him Saturday night, and pre-
senting him with set of silver tea
spoons as a souvenir of his labors in
this city.
A man giving his name as Jack
Brady was arrested at about IL
O'Clock, last night, while making an
attempt to rob the cash register in the
City Bakery. The machine this time
did the proper thing to protect its
owners property, and turned in" an
alarm which brought the cook and a
waiter of the restaurant on the run,
who arrested the nocturnal prowler.
Later man supposed to be pail OF
Brady was pulled" by tie police, the
two having been seen to enter house
of shady reputation on the Barbary
Coast" earlier in the evening.
When will teamsters learn that
street-crossings are intended for pedes-
TRANS and not for standing-place for
teams and vehicles. Several times, of
late, we have seen walkers stride
through the mud simply because some
driver with more brains in his feet
than his head persists in usurping a
privilege to which he was in no sense
entitled. The other day three cross
ings on a single intersection of streets
were appropriated at the same time by
a delivery wagon, a wood wagon and a
livery team, and none OF the Jehus ap-
peared to realize that he was trespass-
ing upon individual rights.
The trouble at the Sunset Mill, at
Macintosh, near Tenino, seems still
to continue and broke out with pistol
accompaniment, Wednesday. Perry
has been in possession of the mill and
had it in operation for some time past.
The adverse interest had q man
named Ingraham in charge, who
endeavored to embarrass the BUSH
ness by persuading Perry's men
to cease work. The matter finally
eliminated in passage-at-arms
between the two men, in which
Perry knocked the intermeddler
down and the latter, after regaining
his feet. drew a revolver and fred two
shots at Perry, neither of which hap
