only by labor, men who toll honestly

A Pet Coon Nearly Kins a Child.

Following is from the Albany Herald:
Saturday afternoon the five-months-
old babe of James V. Pipe was placed
asleep upon the bed in the bed room,
from which door opened into the sit
ting room, occupied by Mrs. Pipe and
others. In the course of an hour or
more slight smothered noise was
heard in the bed room, and the child's
mother on going to the bed was horri-
fed to see half-grown pet coon upon
the child's breast, with its mouth fas-
tened over the child's lips. 1t had en-
tered at the open window and finding
the babe asleep had bitten it about the
mouth, and was sucking away its blood
and fast smothering it TO death. The
babe was so smothered and weakened
from loss of blood that it could utter
but a faint noise, and Mr. Pipe thinks in
five minutes more would have been
killed. Fortunately the child will not
suffer any serious results. 1t is un-
necessary to add that the coon is now
dead

CRAwFoRDSvILLE.

Bart Allen and brother reached this
valley Sunday from Prineville. Mr..
Allen informs an EXPRESS reporter
that the hills around Prineville are
green, and stock are fat. The farmers
have about half hay crop and are
busy taking care of the same. Times
are dull.
Effie Griffith, daughter of West Grif-
fifth of Heppner, writes to one of her
friends here in the valley the following
about their trip across the mountains:
Left Sweet Home July 11th, stopped
at Lower Soda TIN ee weeks on account
of the rain; resumed our journey July
1st, spent July 4th fishing at Fish lake;
passed through Buttermilk canyon,
four miles in length. This place h, s
been visited by water spout and two
miles of the road was washed out, so
it is very rough and narrow. Hay,
rye and barley crops in Crook county
are tolerably good. The apple crop,
wheat and other grain crops along the
John Day country are very good. Gar
dens around Heppner are very good.
Wheat and hay crops fair. The weather
is dry and warm, We were six weeks
on the road.
