STORY OF MARITIME BRUTALITY
COMES FROM OREGON.

Ferguson and Hudson went over the
side, but the water was SO bitterly
cold that they soon began to chill,
and realized that they would not be
able to reach the small boat. Their
cries for assistance were heard aboard
and boat launched.
Here accounts differ as to what
transpired. The ships officers say
that one of the men went down almost
within reach OF the men who manned
the boat, and that the other unfor-
tunate was not seen. West Astoria
fishermen allege. that they heard the
cries for help and manned a fishing
boat and hastened to the rescue. When
within hailing distance of one of the
sailors, they declare, the men in the
ships boats leveled rifles at their
heads and threatened to kill them If
they lent aid to the struggling men in
the water. Will ethis parley was TAX

The story told by the fishermen will
be investigated by the authorities, and,
If found to be true, steps will be taken
to punish the guilty persons.

ing with the firm conviction that oil
abounded in that city. He told his
religious friends about it, and then
tramped aroun dthe country until he
located the spot that he had seen in
his vision. Then he started promot-
ing a. company to get out the oil. Res
idents held public meeting, sub
scribed for stock, and some took op-
tions on 1000 acres of land where the
oil was supposed to be.
Later Mr.. Neal was crowded out, as
the stockholders heard of a similar
dream he had in Busti, which did not
pay any dividend. Experts, however,
have looked over the round, and gi
an opinion that there are oil indica-
tions in Middleton.

ASTORIA, Ore, Oct. 4.-The attempt
of two sailors to desert from the Brit
ish ship Australia cost them their lives
late last night. If the story told by
West Astoria fishermen is true, the
drowning of one of the men consti-
tutes one Of the foulest. crimes ever
committed in the northwest
The two unfortunates were J. Fl.
Ferguson, of Goldthwaite, Texas, aged
%, and J. B. Hudson, of Sterling, Illi-
noios. aged 26. Neither man had ever
before seen salt water. They soon
tired of the sea and determined to
escape. Three others also planned to
leave While the stevedores were
placing the lighterage aboard yester-
day the desire of the men to escape
was made known to one of the long
shoremen, who promised to have a
small boat available at 10 o'clock that
night. Ferguson and Hudson were
the only swimmers in the Quintet, and
they were to jump overheard, secure
the boat and bring it alongside the
ship, that the others might get away
safely.

An analysis of the deposit figures of
each class of banks is interesting, and
in some cases may be carried back over
a much longer term of years. The
published figures cover the deposits in
certain classes of banks at much
earlier date than that covered by the
reports upon loan and trust COM
panies and private banks.
The individual deposits in national
banks, for example, grew from $780,
600, 900 on 1866 to $61S, ,00O, 900 in 1875;
81, III, 100000 in 1885; $1,72O, 100000 In

SNAKE FASCINATES 4 CHILD
IN THE LONELY WOOD LAND.

"a little way down I saw Ruth. She
was seated on a rock, looking straight
ahead of her.
''I didn't think anything was wrong,
and shouted to her to come back She
did not answer. l saw a big black
snake in front of her and I was going
to shout again, when I noticed that
it was the snake that she was look
ing at.
I picked up stick and crept UP be-
hind the snake and let It have it over
the head. The pesky thing turned
on me then, but kept on beating it
until it was dead"
The snake measured just six feet
Melville says it is biggest he ever saw.
Ruth has remained in q stupor all day
and is being attended by physician,

About year ago the Rev. Thomas
Neal, Of Busti, was called to Millerton

the dream changed, the machinery dis
