She had never before seen 60 much money at once, and concluded that the bank could not stand such a heavy drain on it's resources. She told her friends about it, and the news spread that the bank was in danger. A run" followed, and the depositors were not satisfied that the bank was sound until between ten and twenty thousand dollars had been withdrawn.

A son was born to them, who was given the Japanese name Kuroki, corresponding to the French Curique. This son, it is said, is Gen. Kuroki. Capt. Curiqus died last year in France.-London Hour Glass

Circuit Judge T. A. Mcbride. The lost
property was taken from Mr.. Dennis of
Patton Valley over a year ago, but the
trial was continued until this term be-
cause some of the witnesses could not be
found.
The evidence showed that the herd of
cattle with which the calf was running
had been rounded up In a pasture near
by and the calf and It's mother driven
TO Mr.. Lees corral.
One of the witnesses had seen the
mother of the calf shut in an Enclosure
near the defendants promises, but the
calf was not IN sight. il was also proved
that the defendant had at the time
the property was first missed taken a
calf of the same description to Forest
Grove and shipped it to Portland
Mr.. Dennis went to Portland, Dur-
chased the Calls hide, and taking it home,
placed it in the pasture where the cows
were grazing, when the mother seemed
to recognize it, while the rest of the herd,
greatly frightened, fled from it. The hide
was identified in court as being that which
came off the stolen calf.

the animals behave themselves they
cannot be refused admission. 1t is a
strange fad and it seems to please the
dumb visitors immensely. Now and
the monkeys in the stalls are fright t.
