WORSE THAN CO.
ING OVER TOP

Joe Ley, who has been spending the
fall and front part of the winter at
Nighthawk, left Wednesday for Wapa-
to, Washington, where his sons reside.
Mr. Ley is going out at this time to
undergo an operation in the hopes of
having his hearing restored, or at least
improved The loss of hearing is the
result of an accident that would have
proved fatal to any one but a cast iron
man. At the time Mr.. Ley was doing
the blacksmithing work at the old
Eagle mine, short distance west of
Nighthawk. The blacksmith shop was
a shack of a building, probably 10x10
in size. On this particular day Mr. Ley
had % sticks of giant powder near
the fire in the forge thawing out. He
had occasion to step out of doors, and
airectly he was attracted by the crack
ling of fire inside of the building. He
stepped into the door to see what was
burning, and at the moment he enter
ed the small shack the powder explod-
ed. Suddenly where the building once
was capped deep excavation, the
puiioihS iboCil Noo iCuu1cu W lOoLI-
picks and Mr. Ley was propelled a
long distance out into the surrounding
scenery. Miners attracted to the spot
by the explosion found Mr.. Ley the
worst specimen of a mussed up human
that had ever come under their obser-
vation. His clothes were pretty we'll
blown off and he was a human pin
cushion, as his body was Utterly shot
full of splinters and shreds Of tin. The
late Dr. Willard was summoned from
Loomis and it required days hard
work to remove the debris that had
been buried in Mr.. Legs body. No
one ever expected him to recover. But
he was made of pretty tough material
and in the course of time Mr. Ley en-
tirely recovered, excepting that he rad
lost the hearing in his left ear, the
result of large piece of tin that had
been buried in the flesh behind and
under that appendage to his head. AL
though crowding close upon 20 years
Mr.. Ley, barring his deafness, is just
about as good a man physically as he
was at 40, and if his hearing is wholly
restored he will be good for another
% years.

EVANGELIST OS-
BORN HITS HARD

During the past week revival SER
vices have been held nightly at the
M. E. church presided over by the
drummer evangelist, r. H. Osborn,
and while the attendance has been
large many of the residents of the
place who should have done so. have
not heard the earnest and sincere ap-
peal of the fiery laborer in the vine
yard, who tears all shams to shreds
who hews along the line let the chips
fall where they msy,-who brings a
message to the erring and urges the
embracing of salvation to those for
whom salvationtwould be an unalloyed
blessing. Mr.. osborn has been long
upon the platform as an evangelist,
has swoye1 farge crowds in the larg-
est cities, and has sown moral seed
that have taken root and flourished
in many hearts. He appeals to the bet
ter side of both old and young. for
none of us are so lost that we do not
possess some germs that can be
touched by bible truths, and drives
home his sermons with a forcefulness
that is bound to have its effect upon
those who continue to sit within the
influence of his voice. Mr.. Osborn's
method of reaching his congregations
are something different from the cut
and dried pulpit brand of oratory, and
if his method is sometimes startlingly
original its very originality succeeds
in reaching the goal the hearts of his
hearers, where the old, common place
method would fail to carry conviction.
His talks. or discourses, are literally
punctured with witty stories and he
seems to have an inexhaustible fund
of anecdotes keen, funny or pathetic,
each of which is used to illustrate
some point that he is making in his
address. Mr.. Osborn is certainly doing
good work and gradually arousing in
terest in this series of meetings that
should leave their impress upon the
community. These meetings will con-
tinue through the coming week. All
people, regardless of creed or condi-
ton, are cordially invited to attend
They are assured of hearty well
come, and if the song and praise SER
vice does them no matrial good it will
certainly do them no harm.

PLAYING IN
HARDLUCK

We had the pleasure last Friday
evening of visit from Col. A. M.
Dewey, who has held interests at the
@. s. in the Simlahekin valley, for
a number of years. To say that it was
a pleasure to meet Col. Dewey is not \
perfunctory compliment to that gen.
tleman. The reason that pleasure is
derived from his visits is that Col.
Dewey as an optimist is the very rain
bow of promise. He is never taking the
Joy out of life by dismal complaints
or predictions. The sun of hope shines
all the time for Col. Dewey, and when
he gets talking the listener always
feels that the sun is there even il is
temporarily behind cloud. Things
may not be running smooth for the col
onel, ventures in which he may be in.
terested may slip cog, he may have
missed fortune by a hairs breadth
but that is no excuse for him to hang
crepe. You never know how hard hit
he may be from his conversation, and
no matter what may be the wollop he
comes up smiling in the next round.
Such man deserves to succeed and
we trust that he may in time enjoy .
number of his later years in peaco
and luxury. He was telling of his
narrow escape from making fortune,
and during the entire narrative there
was not single word of regret or
disappointment. No whining over hard
luck; no envy for the man who step
ped into his shoes and gathered in the
wealth that was almost within his
grasp. The incident was as follows
A couple of years ago the colonel Sc
cured an option upon a partially de-
veloped mining property on the Port
land canal. 1t was necessary for him
to raise $4,000 in order to hold the
option, and he spent several months
in Kansas City using all of his per-
suasive powers in an effort to raise
that comparatively small amount He
failed to make the rifle, and the Op-
ton expired. An acquaintance borrow
ed the necessary cash and assumed
the option. This individual worked the
mine only a short time when he open
ed up an enormous body Of ore.
The Guggenheimers, out for every
promising mining property, wanted to
buy this mine but the party holding
the option wanted $30,000,000. At last
a compromised was reached. The Gug-
genhamers paid $5.OOO,OO0 for fourth
interest in the mine! Almost any
other aperrcr1 csc seais--sCoIonel Drwey
would have taken to his bed and gone
into a decline had he or she missed 4
fortune by so narrow margin. 1t was
different with the colonel. He laugh
ed at the trick fortune had played him,
congratulated the lucky friend upon
his marvellous windfall and tunrend
his indefatiguable energies toward fos-
tering another enterprise.

When the coal miners walked out
on strike in this state, which was
wholly unjustifiable according to the
published statement of the head OF the
union jeopardizing the life and health
of men, women and children during
the coolest weather of the winter,
number of eX-service men volunteered
to extract coal, and did extract coal.
When the strike was over those same
miners who left their jobs with the
declaration that the public be damned
roared, howled, and demanded that
ex-service men who responded to the
call of humanity in an emergency be
discharged, and they be reinstated on
the job If the authorities stand for
any such demand then they are the
most dastardly craven lot that ever
| held office. The miners voluntarily
gave up their work, loyal men filled
their places. Let them stay out, and
! may they never get another days
work in the state.

MOVED BY THE
BUILDING SPIRIT

r. A. Jackson will build a modern
bungalow for rental on lots he owns
in the east part of town. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Jackson has tenant
who will sign up for two years. This
step of Mr.. Jackson shows that the
spirit of improvement is in the air, and
is making good the prediction of this
paper that 1920 is going to see a
greater growth in Oroville than dur
ing any year since the town was first
laid out, and moreover the class of
improvements is going to be OF sub
stantial character.

ANUNFORTUNATE
OLD PIONEER

All. Fox took VIZ. Norton to Okla

was placed on the county farm. VIM.
has been a familiar figure on the
streets of Oroville for number OF
years. He is one of the unfortunate
flotsams to be found almost anywhere
in the west, broken down with age,
without means in his declining years,
without a relative so far as he knows
on earth. Norton has been a county
charge for long time, but able until
recently to care for himself. His
health commenced failing in the fan
and at last his friends believed it to
be to his best interest to go to the
county farm where he could receive
the attention that his condition re-
qulreS. He expressed no objections.
ana with his usual kindness of heart
AL. Fox personally conveyed the old
timer to his new home The story of
the life of this man, if it could be
written, would be intensely interest
ing. He is native of Louisiana, where
he was born some SO years ago. He
was an engineer on the first crude
railroads that were built in this cOun-
try. He served in the confederate
army during the civil war, drifted
west nearly so years ago, following
various occupations. principally min
ing. He was also at one time connect
ed with the Pinkerton detective force.
Like most men who have lived long
in the west he has had his years Of
prosperity as well as those of adver-
sity, although the latter came last
and left him stranded at time when
he should have been enjoying plenty
and comfort. When a young man Mr.
Norter nsfbst have been a physical
~ large bent frame wursqIdf
nLune. came to him, as
20 many men in life, pos
s5sSiy through failure in his younger
days to make provision for the fu-
ture, yet none the less his case is n
sad one, as dpendent old age is always
sad to look upon. Mr.. Notron has
friends here, many Of them, who trust
that with care and attention that he
needs he will regain some of his nor
NAL strength and survive for a num-
Der of years. He has always been u
quiet, abiding citizen, kindly and
courteous, without a single enemy. We
sincerely trust that he will meet with
kindl- treatment at the county home
and find ..he change one of great bene-
