William O'Brien helped himself to an overcoat belonging to Mr. Fitzpatrick of Tygh Valley (Oregon) this morning.

He was promptly arrested by Deputy Sheriff Brown, tried by Judge Schutz and sent to jail for 30 days. J.H. Larsen this morning showed us his handsome yearling colt John L. The youngster is pretty as a picture, gentle as a kitten, and gives promise of great speed. He can show a three minute gait easily.

We predicts (sp) he will be heard from in the next year or two. Mr. W.F. Hedgepath of Prineville (Oregon), who has been in Page county Iowa for the last eighteen months arrived here this morning on his way home.

Mr. David Elliott also of Prineville, who has been east for nearly two years arrived on the same train and expresses himself to the same effect as Mr. Hedgepath. These gentlemen tell us there is considerable talk among eastern people concerning Oregon, and that we may expect a large immigration.
