Public Places, According to Law.

Conforming with the Oregon State
law. the common drinking vessel in
hotels. restaurants and other public
places have been abolished. and if you

Fltn1cel ard Buried and Lived.

II is not gwen to many men to be
hanged and buried aud vet be able to
tell tie tale. but such was the expert.
en;e of one John Bartenda!e, who was
exec uted at York in 1854 for felony.
After his lody had hung for nearly
an hour 1t was buried. \ gentleman
passing by the grave, which had not
been filled up, thought he saw the
earth move, and with the help of his
servant he disinterrcd the convict, who
was still alive. 1t was the custom in
those days to bury suicides and exc
cuted criminals without any coffin.
The man was carefully treated and
entirely recovered. He became hos
| tier ut the coaching house In York and
lived n most exemplary life. When
asked what he could tell In relation to
hanging. as having experienced 1t, he
replied, "When l was turned off
flashes of fire seemed to dart from my
eyes, from which fell into state of
darkness and insensibility."

catch alligators. They tie a puppy to q

gets to work with his gun, and Mrs.
