Weston Briefs.

Leader: While riding along Bob sled
canyon on the breaks of the Umatilla
Saturday, c. w. Avery and Will jam
ieson, local cattlemen, discovered two
bears digging camas on a bald ridge,
half mile apart. The beasts offered
an excellent target, but the hOrsemen
were without guns. One of them, they
say, was the largest black bear they
ever saw, either wild or in captivity.
Had pair of scales been handy they
would have lassoed and weighed the
monster just to satisfy their curios-
ity.
The Weston brick yard now has an
electric lighting system which will
prove very convenient when night work
is necessary. A row of 32-candle power
incandescent lamps, with refectors, has
been set up alongside the mud mills,
and will furnish ample illumination.

Grip Loaded Down With RevoIvers,
Ammunition and Valuable Papers
Found by Prominent Citizen.

BAKER CITY, Or, May 14.-What is
believed to be a case Of theft which is
very mysterious has just come to light.
About week ago Charles Pobst found
a valise in the yard Of Mrs. Wilkinson
on the east side of the river He was
passing along early in the morning
and seeing the valise sitting in the
yard next to the fence wondered what
it was doing there. He picked it up
and took it home with him.
When he opened the valise he found
that it contained number Of revolvers
and many boxes of cartridges and In
addition a number of deeds to prop
erty both in Oregon and Washington.
Some of the deeds have been executed
for large sums and are without doubt
valuable papers. There were other
papers in the valise which were Of
value also.
Mr.. Pobst took the valise to his
home and notified the police that he
had it and informed them of it's con-
tents, but nothing so far has been
done. The authorities have not ex-
amined the contents of the valise. 1t
is believed that a robbery had been
committed and the thief in making his
aScapa fearad detactiop on5 o,,;ot,,,
dropped the valise over the fence into
Mrs. Wilkinson's yard. perhaps in
tending to return for It some other
time. but this he never did.
