Tromley begged for his life, the crowd
having placed a rope around his neck be
fore starting for the scene of violence.
After he had been tarred Tromley was
told to leave and return no more upon

HILLSBORO, Or., Aug. 18.-D. J. Trom
ley, who claims that he Is a private de
tective from Michigan, was last night
taken from the city jail by a crowd of
young men and treated to a liberal dose
of tar and feathers. For some weeks
Tromley has been stopping with a woman
who resides near the courthouse, and has
made himself very obnoxious to the la
dies who reside in the immediate vicinity.
He first claimed that he was a cousin of
the woman at whose house he lived, but
later claimed that they were married.
Tromley was dissolute, and* besides as
eaulting the Marshal one evening he was
threatened bthcrs with injury. He has
also been in the city Jail for drunkenness.
Tromley was wanted on a charge of dis
turbing the peace, as he had threatened
the life of .a citizen who was out of town,
alleging that he would kill him upon his
return. A message was sent to the house
at which he lives early in the evening and
Tromley came downtown accompanied by
the woman. When reaching the business
part of town he was arrested and placed
in the city Jail. Later a crowd broke into
the city hall building and between ten and
twenty young men took Tromley out of
the Jail, escorted him to the brickyard
east of town, stripped him and applied a
liberal coat of tar, after which they made
him roll over in a bed of feathers.

from Nogales states that Francisco Mal

has just returned from the City of Mex
ico, says there is no truth in reports that
the Mexican Government is arranging to

are an undesirable class of immigrants,
there la a treaty with China which runs
for several years yet which provides for
the admission, of citizens of China into
Mexico. Officials, however, are taking;
precautions to guard against a repetition
of the bubonic plague and will enforca
more rigid quarantine against the Chi

SPOKANE. Wash., Aug. IS.— A special
to the Spokesman-Review from Buffalo
Hujnp, Idaho, says two little boys who
were lest in the woods for three days,
and who lived during that time on sal
mon berries and the raw flesh of wild
birds they caught, have been found by
some of the searching parties and have
been returned to their home here little
the worse for thnlr experience.
The bews are the sons of John Basin,
owner of a dairy. The eldest Is 10 years
old and his brother Is aged 8. The father
was away from home and on his return
he found both boys gone. He thought
nothing of their absence, believing they
were playing, until dusk, when he started
a search. The mother of the boys died
last winter, leaving five children. Three
of them were taken to the home of their
grandfather in Oregon to live.
Basin reported the absence of the boys
and searching, parties were organized.
Scores of men Joined in the search and
for days worked every foot of the heav
ily timbered hills in the vicinity. A3 the
days passed the number of searchers in
creased. Fears were entertained that the
children had starved. Finally a party of
the searchers found the two boys at a
point more than fifteen miles from their
home. They had wandered aimlessly
through the woods and over the hills
vainly seeking to find their way home.
Thcjr only food for the three days they
had been lost consisted of salmon berries
and the raw flesh of birds. They had
managed to capture a number of young
grouse, and having no means of mak
ing a fire- the boys had been compelled
to eat the flesh of the bird3 ra^. They
were tired, scared and hungry when
found, but no ill results are expected to
follow. The nights had been warm and
they did not suffer from cold and their
food, while meager, was ample and suffi
cient to sustain life. . There was a wild
jubilation in -camp when the boya were
brought back and returned to their father.

Canada, Don Dickinson and Dr. Pacas

The claim which the company, com

RETURNS AFTER

Bruces Island is in the center of the
Arkansas River, contains about twenty
five acres, and is densely covered by tim
ber and thick underbrush. Posses of cit
izens left to-day for the scene of the
trouble from Fort Smith, Spiro, Mnldrew
and Fort Gibson.
A few days ago two farmers living near
Wilsons Rock, landed on Bruces Island
in search of plums and accidentally ran
into a camp in which there were two ne
gro men and a white giri about 12 years
old. They made some Inquiries about the
girl and the negroes said she was the
daughter of a white man who was trav
eling with them and who had gone to
Fort Smith tor provisions. The negroes
would not let the girl take part in the
conversation and this aroused suspicion.
A watch wa« kept on the negroes for
two days, but no white man appeared.
On Monday afternoon a party of farmers
decided to investigate the case and as
they neared the island they were flred
upon by the negroes. One of the party.
Roland by name, was killed.
A ' sharp fight was kept up for some
time, during which the girl escaped from
the negroes and ran to the white men.
She was so excited that she could not
give any Intelligent account of herself.
She said, ' however, that her father was
not traveling with the negroes, but that
she had been stolen^/rom her home near
Fort Gibson, I. T. She has been taken to

TON^TGET IN^SWEAT
Perspiration — "sweat" is what thc Bible and we common people call
it— is a way nature has of driving out of the body refuse that has no
business there. We sweat more in summer, because, in the over-
heated bowels, undigested food ferments more quickly than in winter
and produces irritating acids and gases. The bowels, overworked, try
to relieve themselves Dy violent convulsions, causing terrible gripes
//d£&/j&!>' anc^ colics, and diarrhoeal discharges so
A /Jb^^^^* acid as to make you sore, and leaving
