leave Astoria with very great re-
luctance because of the many warm
friendships they share and enjoy in
this section; and it is needless to say
that Astoria can lily spare men of
his sort, and families such as his,
since each and all have been INSOFAR
ably allied with the best moral con
Germs of the city and have always
taken the lead in the social and

A Mental Relapse

Early in the month of March last,
Ole Bakken, a reputable citizen OF
Alderbrook, was complained OF, and
duly examined before a commission
in lunacy, and sent to the asylum at
Salem, arriving there on the 9th; on
the 22nd he was released at the in
stance of his family here, and sent
home. Yesterday while at work in
an up-river camp above the Tongue,
his faculties lapsed once more, and
he started for the city, along the A. &
c. track under full play of his demen-
tia which moved him to cast his
clothing aside, and when the noon
express came along he was in his
underclothes, but with reason enough
left to get off the line when the engi-
neer signalled him, Shortly after this,
word reached the Sheriff's office that
he was needed in Uppertown, and
Deputy Archie Mclean was sent to
the front. The unhappy man had made
himself very conspicuous in that
neighborhood, and was crouched in a
cellar when the officer arrived.
Deputy Mclean had no trouble in
bringing him to the county Jail, and
today he will be examined again and
will probably be sent back to the
States custody, where, it is hoped,
he will be given the care and treat
ment his wretched condition deserves.
