\ really bad" Indian is creating
considerable excitement among the
Oyster Bay first families 1t is for
fear of Ed. Jack, who drove the
blade Of heavy pocketknifc into the
skull of Jack James, another .N'~">h,
and broke it off. Whether the
unique enormity OF the act, or a re-
ally bad disposition, is the basis of
this fear is unknown. but there seems
to be a consensus Of opinion that the
former Jack should remain in du-
rance vile for prolonged indefinite
period. Jack $ 80 days are about
up. but the aboriginal mind has failed
to grasp the idea that some $l30 of
costs will prolong that incarceration
for about - days more. SO the
present is safe at all events.
Miss Mabel Arnold, of the State
Superintendent office of this city,
has just passed through serious or
deal. She had been at the home of
her parents at Aberdeen several
weeks, and was thought to be in a
fair way for recovery, but on Sun
day had become SO alarmingly worse
that she was returned to the hospital
of that city for an operation diagnosed
for appendicitis, but an examination
disclosed the fact it was floating
kidney" that caused the trouble, a
still more serious affection. The
operation was, however, successful,
and the patient emerged from in
tluence of the aneSthetic, with strong
hopes for recovery, but it will be
some time before full restoration of
strength and health can be expected.
a man supposed to be William
Stone died at St. Peter Hospital,
Monday. He was brought in from
Tenino. where he had been suffering
from a prolonged debauch. He APP
peared to suffer excessively from the
relaxing effects of strong drink. He
had lived at Tenino about five years,
and some doubt has been created as
to his identity by finding a small
pocket dictionary amid his effects
with the name Clarence Howard
Conklin. Mt. Pleasant, Mich" on
the hy-leaf. Ted McCatferly, Superin-
tendent of the Blumauer mill, who
had known him long and well, says
that he had discovered nothing in
his conduct that would lead him tC
think that his name of Stone was an
assumed one. The funeral will bt
held at Tenino, Sunday, the expense
being betrayed by donations Of his
friends.
