Mr.. George Applegate has an old
hen that is raising litter of kittens.
The old mother cat gave birth to a
lot Of kittens by the side of where an
old hen was setting. The mother of
the kittens died and the old hen took
charge Of them. 1t is amusing to see
the old hen cluck to her kittens in
order to call them to their food.

WARNING TO LAND CLAIMANTS
During the recent term of the district
court at Walla Walla, J. NJ. Logsdon
was tried and found guilty on an in
+dictment charging him with the crime
perjury. The crime was committed
when Logsdon proved up his home
stead claim The evidence taken in
the Land Office shows that Logsdon
had fully complied with the home-
stead law in the matter of residence,
while from the testimony given at
the trial the jury found that he had
not done so. He had built small
house on the homestead in which he
and his family had occasionally slept,
while they had been ''at home" most
of the time on adjoining railroad land.
1t has been too common practice for
men to swear each other through the
Land Office. The fate of Mr.. Logs
don should prove a warning to all.
We have no idea that Mr.. Logsdon
thought he was doing legal or moral
wrong, but he was misled by the cur
rent idea that swearing in land mat
ters was mere form, without sub
stance. The homestead and pre-
emption laws, particularly the latter,
are so CLOSELY drawn that it has hith-
erto been comparatively easy to evade
them. Lately the Department has
prepared system of blanks for max
ing proof under those laws, which
will do much to prevent land grab
bing and false swearing VaLa Valla
Union.

About three o'clock Sunday morn
ing Charles Geldner having occasion to
be at the rear of his store building on
Main street, back of which is situated
the Commercial Hotel barn, saw man
with bundle ascending a ladder at the
east end of the barn with the evident in
tent of gaining, admission into the build
ing. Mr.. Geldner hollooed at the fellow
when he dropped his bundle, beat has
ty retreat across the roofs eff the adjoin-
ing buildings, and disappeared The
alarm brought several persons to the spot
and the bundle was discovered and found
TO contain shavings and whittlings wrap
ped up in paper all thoroughly saturated
with kerosene leaving no doubt in the
minds of any one that it was intended to
he,used in firing the barn 1t is great pity
that the party who made this desperate
attempt at incendiarism could not have
been captured and made q proper exam
pie OF. Whoever he was he appeared
to be thoroughly posted For instance
he selected Sunday morning when there
being no trains arriving or departing it
does not become necessary for the Com
nercial people to be up as they are dur
In all hours of the night On every other
might and morning of the week. 1t also
occurs that perhaps he too was well aware
ef the much larger amount cof hay in the
barn at the time than usual. All these
things lead strongly to the inference that
the fellow meant to start what he knew
nust prove 8 most disastrous confagra-
,faen if fire got under ordinary Roadway
In the barn. We trust this fire bug will
yet be discovered and meet his just de-
serts.

ObituOru.

Miss Jessie Daniels died atithe home of
her parents, N. G. and Mary>C Daniels,
in the First ward, Thursday morning
last, September 4th, 1879, in the 10Th
year of her age, of typhoid malarial few
er.
The circumstances attending the death
of Miss Daniels are particularly sad. She
went this summer on visit to sister in
Iowa and while there was taken down
with Q fever then prevailing in that To-
cality- Feeling that a fit of sickness was
upon her that would perhaps be of long
duration she determined to start for
home contrary to the wishes of her friends
and reached here greatly Frustrated by
the journey. Her prostration continued,
everything meanwhile that medical skill
could devise being done for her, and not
withstandjng she rallied at,intervals, Civ
ing her relatives and friends who SO anx-
iously watched over her every encourage
ment for her final recovery, yet she grad
ually sank away and her lamp of life
went out in the full bloom of her youth.
The deceased was the idol of her parents
and sisters, the light of the household and
by the gentleness Of her disposition and
her bright winning ways had endeared
herself to large circle of acquaintance.
1t may well be said that her death casts a
gloom over the entire community and
her parents, sisters and companions have
wide spread sympathy in their bereave-
ment. The funeral of Miss Daniels was
held at her home Saturday morning at
ten o'clock, the services being conducted
by Rev. w. A. Hendrickson, of the Con
gregational church, and the large assem-
blage of friends congregated to pay the
last tribute Of respect to her memory, tes-
titled more fully than words can convey
to the love and affection she had been
held in when living. Her remains were
buried in Oak Hill cemetery there to
await the final summons.
