STONE AND MEN TUMBLE
Sheriff Bangs and Employee On New
Livery Stable Have a Narrow


A quantity of rock and some loose
nianking nearly cut short the careers
OF Sheriff Bangs and workman named
Hawley Monday morning at the
Bangs building now in course Of con
struction opposite the Harney.
The sheriff had ascended to the
second floor of the structure to IN
sne2t the work going on there and
inadvertently stepped upon some
planking which covered an opening
Tor a proposed stairway Near him
was Dan Hawley, and the weight Of
the two men, cOmEbinel with that of

great load for the timbers and
men and rock W re precipated to
the floor beneath. Bangs got off with
a severe shaking up, but Hawley had
the tendons in a heel badly torn.
Persons who saw the mishap look
anon the escape of the two men as
something not far short of the mirac
ulous, as he rocks were large enough
to crush the life completely out of
anyone unfortunate enough to get
underneath them.

Wins Hearty Applause.

Lovers of good music we're treated
TO couple Of excellent band CON
certs this week at Derthick's New
opera House, the State Band of Alb
erden playing there Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings. The audience
on both evenings was considerablv
smaller than the calibre of the en-
1er'alliments warranted, which, how
ever may be accounted for by the
number of shows that took the time
and money of the inhabitants last
week. Manager Derthick guaran-
leed the band quite an amount in
order to secure the attraction and
no doubt felt justified in making tne
admission one dollar for TUESDAYS
concert, but many found themselves
unable to stand the strain and staid
at home.
Those who did attend were highly
pleased with the work Of ,he or-
sanlzation and repeatedly encored
lhc various selections. In several
or the numbers spectacular features
were introduced to add a touch of
realism to some of the heavier com
positions.
