Last sun hay afternoon Mr., George
w Warren instructed one OF ais men
10 turn his horse, "Clatsop Chief" IN
to the pasture adjoining the barns on
being let loose. the horse made his
way to the creek, which runs through
the meadow, and on reaching there
stepped into ybritable mud trap,
Immediately Mr.. Warren, accompanied
by two OF his men, ran to whore the
horse was. and endeavored TO get him
out with tho aid Of stout rope, The
horse struggled vainly IN the mud and
eventually reached the side, but re-
fused to climb the bank---ae then
turned around and after considerable
labor on his part and on the part OF
the men, he got to the edge of the
water twice more, Finding these
maneuvers were only waste Of time
and energy. Mr. warren had two OF
his stout work horses harnessed and
brought to the scene OF action, II was
but the work OF moment TO secure
the struggling animal with the rope
and attach It, the rope, TO the double
trees OF the harnessed horses on the
word OF command the team frightened
their traces and In jlffy pulled the
submerged horse on 70 firm soil,
none the worse FOR his mud bath. The
horse ls an imported Percherion stall
lian. The price paid for him by his
present owner was $4,000 Mr.. War
rem nad the animals name changed to
Clatsop Chief after he had purchased
him.

A meeting Of the Warrenton City
Council was held, at tne residence OF
the Mayor. C. r. Lester. last evening.
Those present were the Mayor, coun-
eellors @. w. Warren. J. Bosshart, r.
]. Abbott and i. W. Preston, the City
Attorney. Mr.. Eawin, Of Astoria: and
the Marshal. Emil Erickson. Consid-
erabIe business was transacted, and
the writer, who was kindly permitted
10 attend, was thoroughly convinced
welfare at heart. II was decided to
advertise. in manner specified In the
motion. for bids for the erection OF
city Jail in accordance with plans, now
in the hands OF the city attorney. An
other matter brought forward was the
enforcing OF the city ordinance on
nuisances. Marshal Erickson was In
structed to request all offenders under
this ordinance, to at once comply with
the requirements demanded therein.
In commenting on this 1t may be said
that when the property owners and
residents have conformed with the
law. as set forth In the above named
ordinance, the City of Warrenton viii
surely have undergone a thorough
cleaning up. Now that city jail
looms In our sight 1t behooyes one to
acquire definite knowledge Of the city
bylaws and take pains against being
the forced guests of the Marshal.
