A good joke is told on newly married
young man who had engaged rooms a. .he
Vincent house for the night whiek runs
about as follows: There had been stopping
at the hotel Q bearded individual who had
been drinking very heavily and a. his
'.nerves were all unstrung" he was quite
restless at nights and disturbed the inmates
of the house very much. Previous to re-
tiring, on the evening of which we write
a stimulent containing quantity of laud-
anum had been prepared for the restless
man, for the purpose of quieting his nerves
and making him sleep. and placed near @
pitcher of water in the bar room The

quench his thirst and not noticing the con-
tents in the goblet poured some water into
it and "drank to the dregs." Our readers
must imagine the rest for pen can't describe

Prineville News: On last Sunday morn
ing the children of Chas. Hayt, who lives At
Cow canyon. left the house to play on the
surrounding hills, and did not return until
noon. One of the children not returning,
ing one could not be found until the next
morning, when it was found abont half
mile from home, having perished during the
cold storm of the night. What made the
affair most pitiful was that the little fellow
who was about seven years old, could not
