Hobo Freeborn Changes
His Headquarters.
The sensational shoeing case at
Ashton suffered an inglorious ending
on Monday of this week On tint daj
the man Freeborn was taken back to
Ashton, accompanied by his attorney.
II M. Mathew, and the matter closed
without trial, the tramp being given
some $20 in money and a ticket to
Sargent, and Constable John Goc settled
the costs accruing out of the case, ex
cept me costs of the prisoner's stay in
the county jail, which we understand
the county w ill have to foot. Lat**r—
The hobo got off at Arcadia, hired
Harry Sawyer, the liveryman, to take
him to Ord, and held him at Ord all
night in the expectation of going back
to Arcadia iu the morning, but instead
he hired another team and bov to take
him some four miles in the country,
stealing Sawyers’ $18 overcoat and
had cboy take him to North Loup.
He then sent the boy back to Ord with
the team and left for parts unknown.
When the boy returned. Sawyer swore
out a warrant and arrested the hobo at
Scotia and the fine-haired gentleman is
now languishing in jail at Ord.

NEBRASKA GIRL IN OREGON
Continuation of Series of In
teresting Letters.
M eh am a, Ore.—1 must tell you
about our moonlight excursion. Our
amiable hostess had captured one of
the Happy Four, the Little Mother,
and taken her off for an afternoon
call, so that left the Trio to amuse
themselves. Hearing our hostess
inform the guide that some mutton
must be taken up to tile* Miner’s
Retrent that evening, and scenting
pleasure ahead, the Baby Scho'd
msara innocently asked how he was
going up, and in some way it was
soon arranged that the Trio were to
go, it being considered very danger
ous fur one to travel alone over
such awful roads, especially during
fair weather in June and more
especially if the guide wishes to
have a ‘‘stand in" with the rest of
the party
We started between four and
five o’clock p. m. The sun was
beating down with intense best in
the • clearings but soon we were
riding along under the shade of an
Oregon forest in perfect comfort.
Ah, if I c'-uld but make you se
with me, the beauties of the grand
old woodland r< ad in the Santiam
Valby. I have already learned to
love 4t, though it is so different from
«hat I have been used to.
Can you not fan v you see us s
we ride along, now over n arly
level roa now tie and up till we
gain the summit of a hi'l and at every
step we watch the lights and
shadows pla1 ing and changing
among the tree*.
You km-w something of what a
variety of forest trees grow here, so
I need not try to describe the tall,
stately tirs. the dark green cedars,
the alder with its light colored mos
grow n trunk and dark green foliage,
the graceful slender vine maple
and the many other varieties < f
timber, each having its own par ;
ticular charms, and in thinking of
them all we must not forget the
lichens and mosses, which spread
over every otherwise bare and un
sightly place, like a mantle of charity
which noble minds throw over the
faults of others. The ferns and i
brake grow everywhere in wild
profusion and add to the beauty of
the scene.
Anon, ora little before anon, as
Samantha Allen would say, we j
descend the long slope of the hill,
aDd as we go down in’o the depths
of the canon the foliage is so dense
that we can hardly see the sun's rays
As we near the bottom of the hill
perhaps we see a rustic bridge. Ah!
we have learned to koow what that
means. There will be a lovely
glade w here only an occasional ray
of light can filter through the dense
green above.
Occasionally we pass a little
clearing with a house and barns,
standing back from the roadside.
For the most part the dwellings
are rude and unpainted but comfort-1
able and homelike.
At one point we cross the river,
and from tire bridge we get some
pretty views. From another place,
we just catch a glimpse of a lovely
waterfall.
In our drive of about nine miles
we pass two' rather dilapidated *
schoolhouses, one of which holds
many pleasant memories for the
Baby.
We arrive at our destination at
about 7 o’clock, or rather the
destination of tt»e mutton.
We have ere this decided that we
will have view of the Narrows by
moonlight, but first we have one
more short call to make, as friends
must not he slighted even if it is
nearly sundown.
Soou we drive on as far as the
wagon road goes, tie our team, and
to down to the river where we eat
our supper. If you could see the
river, the woods and bold rugged
mountains rising so abruptly on
either side of the river, all gilded
by the glorious sunset light, you
might guess Avhat made our supper
ta4te so good.
But we have over a mile and a
half yet to walk, much of it hard
climbing, so we must not linger.
We have gone only a short dis
