The number of logs that have gone out of
the lake of late can now be yisbly seen, and

at the opening of Dick Willett's ranch across
the lake, and thus another pest house has
been opened on the people of this region.

too. 1t was foul proceeding
Cole Mcclellan, who was well known in
this city. was on Saturday evening fatally
shot at Hudson by a man giving the name

drew revolver, shooting him in the right
side, the ball going upward through the body,
inhcting probable fatal wound. Those
present disarmed Clifford and searched him,

parties then locked him in room and went
for the sheriff, but he broke a window and
jumped out and no trace Of him has been
found. At noon yesterday Mcclellan was
