VISITOR
DOPED

A young man from Mill City
caused considerable excitement in the
Yew Park neighborhood last evening
by attempting to invade the home Of
j. G. Coffey. He made his appearance
at the house, which was occupied at
the time by Mrs, Coffey and two small
children. After knocking at the door,
which was opened by the lady Of the
house, he tried to force an entrance,
but was prevented by her slamming the
door in his face. She locked it, and
then dashed out Of a rear door, and
went to a neighbours house for assist
ance.
A general call to arms resulted, and
the intruder was soon sprawling on
his hack, hors de combat. He was es-
corted to the police station by the Of
%ficers, and, after a rest, was able to
give a partial account of himself. He
said that he visited Salem on business,
and fell in with a stranger yesterday,
just before the time for the Albany
local in the evening, The two started
for the depot, and on the way partook
of a liquid out of a bottle, which the
friend offered him. This was the only
drink that he had during the day, and
he was soon out of his head, and recol'
llects but very little that transpired
after that time until he awoke in Jail
this morning.
He had a certificate Of deposit for
$3.50 on an Albany bank, and was well
dressed. He regretted the occurrence
VERY much, and is, anxious to find the
new friend. 1t is thought that some
rounder had him spotted, and intended
to DO him bodily harm, if he could in.

BRANDED
TURTLE
FOUND

A reliable citizen of Junction is re-
sponsible for the following story,
which though it may have the scent
Of fish owing to the species Of animal,
was given out for an honest ''injun"
truth. Long in the early '60s a Mr..
Lawrence captured a large turtle
known as the mud turtle, in that Sec
tion of the country, and through mere
curiosity as to how long lived these
animals, it was branded in 1860 in
three places, once with a branding iron
and twice with his knife, after which
it was freed, and never seen until a
few weeks ago, when John Henderson,
OF Junction, in search of turtles, re-
captured it and took it to Junction,
where, according to the story, it was
exhibited. 1t seems the brands that
were placed with the knife were ex-
tinct, while the one that was made
with the hot iron stod out very dis
tinctly. The story further goes that
during the past years rewards have
been offered for the ~recapture and re-
turn of the turtle to John Lawrence,
son of the Mr.. Lawrence who first
found it. 1t is the intention Of the
owner to take the turtle to Portland,
where it will be placed on exhibition
during the Lewis and Clark fair.
This turtle was found on the Ingram
Island in Benton county, and recap
tured within three miles of where it
was branded and liberated.
It is said that the average life of a
turtle is far beyond 100 years.
