SEARCHING FOR

The strange picture Of an old man

of Portland, during u hunting trip

sixty miles east Of Winl0ck, Wash

turned home yesterday, aud they re-
ported their queer experience. On
one Of their trips to Spirit Lake
from their headquarters ut the Polar
mine, they met an old man with a
flowing beard, and who looked as II
he had not taken his annual bath.
Close behind him WAS younger man.
From conversation. Mr.. Reid learned
that the two were no n search for u
long lost mine. But to make the
story short, here il the tale as ii WAS
told to Mr.. Reid:
About ten years ago an old German
discovered mine in the Cascades.
Fearing that somebody would jump
his claim, he said nothing about II to
anyone. but his frequent trips to
mining camps near this location and
his display of gold caused inquiry.
One night he WAS asked where his
claim lay. He drew a revolver,
pointing 1t at the crowd, and said he
was going home, aud that he would
kill anyone who followed him.
Nevertheless, one man followed him.
and when the German campsd for the
night the man slept within fifty
yards Of him. One morning the

COLONEL IN6fRS0L,
COLONEL PlUMMfR

Arthur Dunn newspaper man
now doing "syndicate work" in New
York, sent out In a recent letter the
following paragraph. which was
published In the Portland Telegram,
among other papers:
"Sniffing the battle from afar, or
maybe near, Colonel W. g. Plummer
appeared on the scene and reported
ready for duty with the republican
state campaign committee. Colonel
Plummer is a spellbinder. Years and
years ago he ran paper in Pennsyl-
vania. Then there was drift west
ward, and he crossed the Red river
Of the North and became part of
. set Of brilliant newspaper men who
msde North Dakota famous. This
was along about 1882. Plummer was
IN orator then, and no gathering
was complete without him. He IL
now a professional spellbinder and q
very effective tHlker. With q good
presence and voice, fund OF good
stories, aud plenty of wit, he always
makes good on the stump. 1t was
at Chicago In 1888 that he spoke for
IN hour from the balcony of tho
Grand Pacific, and the crowd thought
they we're listening to Bob Ingersoll.
He does resemble the late gifted
agnostic to some extent, and Mt the
time the shouters In the streets
thought Colonel Insersoll was giving
them fine treat. "
The Miner man Is familiar with
the circumstance, which Is strictly
true. When Colonel Plummer re.
turned to the room where Colonel
Ingersoll and a number of acquaint.
snces were gathered, enjoying a
"fsast of reason and . flow OF SOUL"
the former remarked: ."Well. Bob,
your reputation ss an orator Is
firmly established now;" to which
remark the famous agnostic replied:
"Had not known that to be a mob
Of ignoramuses who couldn't dis
tinguish the difference between q
speech by ConklinR and Platt, l
would never have trusted by repu.
tation to you"
1t was on the same occasion that
the two great jawbone artists were
discussing religion. Colonel Plum
mer complained that Colonel Inger-
soils theory "tore down from the
gallery of my memory many beautiful
pictures associated with tha early
teachings of my mother, and left
nothing there to fll their places. "
To this the other retorted: "You

Fred Muller and Perry Queenan
fought another 2O-round draw at the
Columbia theater last night. About
$50 persons attended and the hall ar
rangements were excellent. There was
an QUITO town delegation present that
kept up a continual howl during the
course OF the exhibition. but the crowd
was good -natured and amused itself
by "Joshing" the principals in their long
contest. The men are evenly matched
and at the end Of the goth last night
both were strong. Queenan did most Of
the leading, and depended upon right
and left swings. which Muller was
aSle to avoid without damage. Queen
an kept up a constant hammering on
Mullers kidneys, but the blows seemed
to have little. effect on the local man.
Muller's best punch was straight
right with which he occasionally
reached Queenan's jaw. In the 18th
roundi Queenan went to his knees, Null
Ter having got in his right while the
Seattle lad was overbalanced. Again
in the 18th Queenan went down. hav-
ing slipped, and a moment later when
Muller blocked hard lead the visitor
fell from the force of the collision.
Muller had no difficulty in avoiding
the hard right and left swings Of the
Seattle lad, although Queenan repeat
edly landed hard on the kidneys. 1t
sas an even fight from start to finish
and the crowd seemed pleased, although
the bout could not be regarded as at
all scientific. Queenan tried hard to
win and during the contest swung
some terrific rights, which seldom
landed effectively. John o'Brien, OF
skamokawa, acted as referee.
