COUNTY NEWS ITEMS

The people of Wenatchee had a
real bad scare the first of this week
when it was reported that the new
Columbia river bridge was in danger
of collapse. Investigation, however,
treasured them, when it was discovered
that the damage was only to the false
work. A ferry boat coming hown the
river struck the false work, and then a
raft of logs also lodged against it.
The contractor assures the people that
the bridge itself is in no danger. The
workmen have refused to work longer
on weakened false work, and some Of
them have quit. The contractor says
it may be necessary to suspend work
until the river goes down.

credit, all Of which We're done in the per

commander viii have to nurse his unap-
peased wrath against Mai. Penrose. of
the United States army. a while longer.
The captain returned from San Antonio
this morning without having "set-up'
with Penrose.
Il was through the ntercession Of
friends of Capt. Mcdonald that meeting
with Penrose was averted These friends
met at the department. and pointed out
the serious consequences that might oc-
cur if such a meeting took place.
The captain at first refused to listen 10
their argument, and insisted upon going
direct from the depot to Fort sam Hous-
ton to see Penrose about ii. He was
dissuaded from this course. and agreed
not to do anything rash
It was with no little difficulty that his
friends kept him from visiting Fort Hous-
ton yesterday and having it out with Pen
rose. He was induced to return 10 Aus
tin. and the incident is closed for the time
being. at least
'PenTOse knows that 7 am no coward. -'
Capt Mcdonald said to-day. I made him
and his niggers stand hitched at Browns
vile for three days. and reckon that is
what he is mad at me about"
Capt Mcdonald denied that he ate in the
same dining-room with PenrOSe while in
San Antonio. Il always sit with my face
fronting the door Of the room. and | saw
every man who entered the dining-room, "
he said, and Penrose was not among the
number. I never sit with my back 10 the
door. That is too risky a thing to do.
