The Dalles Daily Chronicle, Tuesday, July 23, 1895 BRIEF MENTION Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle Reporters Antone Bowers has just purchased a Craver & Steele header. There has been a great deal of farming machinery sold this year in The Dalles. A.J. Douglas, a prosperous farmer near Dufur (Oregon), has bought a J.I. Case threshing machine. Yesterday afternoon a man started to see how fast he could ride up Second street and rode into the arms of Marshal Blakeney, who was waiting for him. The city was $5 richer when the officer got through with him. There is some merit in a scheme for the city to rent Second street during the quiet hours of the day for $5 a ride. It would help to pay the interest coupons. Judd Fish will soon make his debut on the streets astride of the latest improved bicycle. He has been faithfully practicing for several weeks on a private track under the Umatilla House and the facility he shows in learning proves he has a great future before him as a bycyclist (sp). Due notice of his appearance will be given later at which time Henry Fowler will retire from the contest. The fruit raisers are busy shipping their products today. The street in front of the fruit warehouse has been crowded with teams all day and Manager Pinkham has had his hands full attending to the receipts. A car for Denver leaves The Dalles tonight, loaded with blackberries, peaches, peach plums and apricots. Fruit raisers are waiting anxiously to hear returns from the car that went Saturday. The preliminary examination of John Dalrymple is being held today in Justice Davis' court. This evening, if the Dalrymple case is finished, the trial of Lane Mahaffy, who is charged with issuing fictitious checks, will be held. Tomorrow the case of the State vs Myron Taft, arrested for stealing grain, will occur so it can be seen that the justice court is keeping up with the revival that is talked so much about in other lines of business. The city marshal received a telegram from Sheriff Houser at Pendleton (Oregon) asking him to try and arrest two boys who would probably pass through The Dalles. The boys had gone through before the telegram reached here, but today Policeman Connelly arrested George Gillenbach, Andrew Anderson and Charlie James, three young boys who have started to see the world. They will be detained until word can be received from Pendleton. The board of fire delegates held a special meeting last evening in the city hall. The meeting was called to chose (sp) judges and clerks for the coming fireman's election and to make all necessary arrangements. The election will be held August 5th and the polling place will be in the engine house. The board chose as judges John W. Lewis, R.B. Sinnott and Matt Shoren while George Gibons and Fred Van Norden will serve as clerks. No candidates have yet been announced for chief of the department. During the absence of Captain Waud, who will be away during part of the week, Captain McNulty is in charge of the "Regulator". He looks well in his accustomed place and old travelers find it very natural to see him as they come aboard the boat. Captain McNulty carries a handsome gold watch presented by Capt. J.C. Ainsworth and the directors of the O.S.N.Co. for good seamanship shown while in command of the old "Idaho". It is a beautiful trophy and the manner and reason for which it was given can well make any man feel proud.
