Another Gold Brick.

Periodically this locality is
gingered up by a gold excite
ment. The latest strike IS re-
ported from Detroit on the lire
of the c. & E. 1t is said that
gold-bearing ore, mountains of
it, varying in value from low
grade to extremely rich, has
been found and a number of
claims have already been staked
by eager seekers for riches.
A short six months ago, while
running some lines about one
aud half miles from the town
of Detroit, w. J. Smiths conf
pass refused to work. As he
was in hurry at the time lie
did not stop to investigate the
cause. Later, however, he again
visited the same place, and dis
covered free milling ore assaying
$3.50 per ton. This was some
little time ago, and it has been
kept very quiet.
Of late the matter Of the fad
has leaked out, and further pros
pecting resulted in bringing to
light much richer ore. which is
now being assayed. The mines
found are similar to the Tread
we'll mines in Alaska, not ledges
bus mountains, and run about
six miles in length and three
quarters of mile wide. Twen-
fty claims have been taken.
Some thirty-fve men were pros
pecting the district Monday with
good success. Smith & Smith
will pat in machinery as
soon as the necessary arrange
raen.s can be made.
If later prospects should de.
velop the riches promised by
the first finds, the prospects are
very fattering, and a gold ex-
citement of no mean propor'
tions-a Klondike on- a small
scaie-is certain to result.

ToothpiCk and Peanut.

In the heat of a political disa-
greement hen oft-times make out
landish wagers. A wager is re-
ported by the Portland Telegram
between two East Side men, and, to
say the least, it is well out of the
usual channel of campaign bets
Both men are ardent supporters oi
the cause which they espoused. Ac-
cording to agreement, the Bryan
man, having lost has q task on
hand that will furnish him with a
demand fer patience. The wager
was as follows:
The Bryan man agreed that il
Mckinley were elected he would
roll a peanut up a hill one mile in
length with a toothpick, and in the
event that this task had not been
accomplished by night-fall, he is te
camp all night on the spot where
the peanut has reached, and this
without liquid refreshment, too
The McKinleyite declared that i
Bryan were elected he would ds
likewise. The Mckinley man as.
serts that his friend on the othel
end of the wager had better provide
himself with tent.

A telegram from Sparta, Ore
gon, reached this CITY Tuesday

Mr.. Motley was born in Octo-
Der, 184o, in Clatsop county.
While he was quite young has

Witham. Here Mr.. Motley
grew to manhood. He was
united in marriage with Miss
Mary McLagan In June, 1873,
and she, with four children,
Carrie, Belle, Lee and William,
survive him.
For many years Mr.. Motley
was employed in the butcher bus
mess in this city, being at one
time i'll partnership with Nick
Baeson. In 1885 he removed
with his family to Crook county
where he engaged for number
of years in the sheep business.

Not Evart Philips.

A remarkable coincidence had
its elimination in this city last
evening. During the evening a
young man stepped up to Officer J.
II. Phillips and touching him on
the shoulder handed him card
and asked to speak with him. The
card bore the name Of NJ. Clyde
Philips, Corvallis. It seems that
some twelve years ago young man
named Philippsshad disappeared
from Corvallis and although he had
been traced to San Francisco and
Australia he had finally disap-
peared entirely. About the time
of bis disappearance Officer Phil
;ipps, of this city was in Corvallis
and lived there for nine months
and became acquainted with many
of the young fellows there, then
left there and had never been back.
Last summer he met a young man
named Friendly and in eonversa-
ton it developed that they had
known each other in Corvallis.
Officer Philips, who at .one time
ran between San Francisco and
Australia, also spoke of both places
10 the man Friendly and when
Friendly returned to Corvallis a
few weeks ago, he told M. Clyde
Philips that he had seen his
(Philipps') brother and that he
was in Astoria. Young Philips
then telephoned here and aseer-
tanned that man by that name
and tallying very closely to his de-
scription of his brother was living
here. Last night he arrived down
here to look him up and when he
found him was so positive that
Philips was his long-lost brother
that he went up to him and spoke
to him as stated above, giving him
the card to watch the effect. The
officer accidentally covered the Cor
wallis with his finger and at once
thought him to be the Clyde Phil
ipps that disappeared from Astoria
last week and began asking lin
questions on the subject. They
finally succeeded in getting mat

Tried to Escape.

Promptly at Q o'clock yesterday
morning Judge Hamilton sentenced
H. Kubli to two years in the peni-
tertiary for stealing the team and
hack of Mrs. S. A. Cooper last
spring. AS soon as he was sem
fenced Sheriff Burnett and Deputy
Sheriff Henderson started to take
the prisoner back to jail. Deputy
Henderson was in the lead as they
passed out through the back en-
trance Of the court house, then
came Kubli, followed by Sheriff
Burnett. Mr.. Henderson turned to
the left as he passed through the
door, and as quick as flash the
prisoner dashed to the right and
made break for liberty. Sheriff
Burnett ordered him to halt, but he
paid no attention and the sheriff
fred couple of shots, aiming at
the ground, as he did not desire to
shoot the man without it became
absolutely necessary. Kubli ran
toward the residence of J. III. Simp-
son, and in crossing one of the
walks, slipped and fell down, but
quickly arose and continued his
lead. The officers gave chase and
when Sheriff Burnett reached this
place, he, too, fell down; Deputy
/ Henderson also toik a tumble at
this point. It seems the boards
were shiny and caused all of them
to slip. The sheriff out ran his
laan and caught him just in front
of the residence named. Sheriff
Burnett will take Kubli to Salem TO-
| day.
