LOCAL IN BRIEF.

postmaster Stanton had a time
Sunday night. 1t was about the
hour when tired men retire, and the
postmaster was EN- deshabille. An
oil stove was on duty in the room
and it was overturned by Mrs. Stan
ton, whose dress-skirt caught on
some projecting part as she was
passing. In an instant the burn
ing oil was spreading ever the floor,
and the postmaster tried to smother
the flames with his pants, but they
were too small and not the proper
shape for that purpose. He then
piled the bed-clothes on the fire and
soon won the battle. The damage
consisted of slight burns sustained
by the postmaster, the destruction
of the after section of his pants and
some more or less badly scorched
bed-clothes and floor mating. It
might have been worse. The post
master was in luck not to be inside
his pants when they were burned.
After years of suffering, Thomas
Espey passed away Tuesday even
ing at 8 o'clock, aged 72 years. He
had been resident of this county
during the past twenty-five years
and had many warm friends who
deeply sympathize with the widow.
The funeral service was held at the
M. E. church at 10 O'Clock this
morning, followed by interment in
Toledo cemetery. The last rites
were conducted by Abe Lincoln
Post No. 68, G. A. R., of which
deceased was a member, assisted
by Abe Lincoln w. R. c. No. 4o.
Obituary next week.
Austin Rosebrook has purchased
the furniture stock of Fash & Gaar
and is now ready for customers.
He intends to carry good stock
and offer such inducements that
people will be compelled to buy.
Mr.. Rosebrook and family have
wide acquaintance, which will be a
great aid to them in their new
venture. Their customers who love
music will be in position to demand
violin selection with each pur-
chase. THE LEADER bespeaks a
liberal patronage for the new firm.
Another man who is in an ad-
vanced stage of COW fever is County
Judge Stewart. He purchased a
COW and young calf of Frank Tillot-
son Tuesday and severed his con-
nection with $50. Of course, that
was too much money, and the deal
has established troublesome prec-
edent. The man with a COW to
sell will now be found holding out
for $50 for any old thing, and only
swollen plutocrats like the judge
and Bill Buoy will be able to buy.
The steamer Richardson, Cap
tain Tracy Davis, came up from
the lower bay last Saturday to get
its hair cut. Our barber, George
Landreth, did the job in satisfactory
style. Mr.. Landreth is justly
proud of the large territory from
which he draws patronage.
Mrs. G. E. Hawkins departed
this morning for Leadville, Colo,
to attend a meeting of the board of
managers of the Women of Wood
craft. She expects to be absent
about ten days.
George Hoefein, head augerer
of the bridge crew, went through
to Yaquina Wednesday night to
renew acquaintance with his family,
returning next morning.

thing new to say this week.
R. A. Fowler is now conductor
on this end, succeeding Walter
BartgeS.
Miss Mamie Blower went out to
Corvallis Monday, to remain in
definitely.

next Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. |
B. F. Jones-if the weather is |

Planet, Jr., combined hand drill and

deners. One of these tools has been
left for sale at this office and it will

Joseph Blower and son Cecil of
Mill 4 were up on business Monday,
and while here Mr.. Blower sold one
OF his high-grade milch cows with
young offspring to Farmer Bill,
local agent of the c. & E. The
COW and calf are worth more than
the $40 which Mr.. Blower received,
but he wishes to encourage young
neil to invest their surplus funds
wisely. There is no doubt about
the COW idea being the correct one.
c. A. Miller and family and w.
H. Bartges and family passed out
from Yaquina Wednesday morning
en- route to Ashland, this state,
where the gentlemen have formed
a partnership in the dry goods and
clothing business. Messrs. Miller
and Bartges were residents of this
county for a number of years and
leave behind them friends too nu-
merous to mention. The former
was in the employ of the railroad
company which is now known as
the c. & E. for about twelve years,
in the capacity of station agent,
while Mr.. Bartges served it for
fifteen years, the last few as con-
ductor on the Yaquina-Albany end.
By the removal of these two fami-
lies Yaquina and Lincoln county
have sustained a loss that is keenly
felt. However, regrets are useless,
and there is nothing to do but
smile through tears and wish that
in their new home they may en-
counter every good thing on the
list.
Sheriff Ross came up from va
quina this morning with John Haas,
who has pleaded guilty to burglar
izing a cottage at Nye creek which
is owned and occupied during the
summer season by citizen of
Douglas county. John Simpson of
Newport, who had charge of the
cottage, fled the information with
Deputy District Attorney Swope
and the arrest of Haas followed.
The prisoner was taken before JUS
tice Ellsworth of Newport and
finally pleaded guilty to the charge.
He was placed under a $500 bond,
and being unable 10 furnish same,
was brought to Toledo and given
into the custody of Marshal Young,
who placed him in the bastile. The
stolen articles consisted principally
of bedding and cooking utensils and
were recovered from the home of
Ira Holderman at Yaquina. The
latter is supposed to be at Summit,
and Sheriff Ross went up after him
this morning. Haas says Holder
man was his accomplice in the
burglary; all the evidence 50 far un-
covered seems to prove it. Unless
something in their favor develops
later, the young men are certainly
up against a heap o. trouble. We
