Gently left her home in company
with VIM. Cavapaugh, gay young
cowboy. Constable Dial arrested
the pair at Huntington, Oregon, on
charge of unlawful cohabitation
and charge against Cavanaugh of
abducting minor female. Justice
Sinnott discharged Cavanaugh on
the latter charge on account of a
legal technicality, and in the former
charge both parties were acquitted
as the crime was proven to have
been committed in Oregon and be-
yond his jurisdiction.
Journal: P. W. Spencer is one
among the number of farmers here
about who have put in their pota-
toes this spring already. Mr.. Spen-
Ger saws this is his first experience
at putting down his potato crop in
March. But this is a glorious eli
mate, you know.
Blackfoot News: T. L. Loosh, T.
Archibold and w. Archibold went
out from Medicine Lodge with team
and buggy, Monday morning, on a
hunting expedition. In a few hours
they had bagged Is sagehens, later
on Loosh espied two sagehens about
Is yards distant. He sprang from
his seat, made ready, took aim and
"let 'er flicker" For while there
after he didn't know he was hunt
ing; but when he came to himself
his gun was rod behind, the hens
were dreaming far away in the mel
low sunshine and he had an arm
broken near the shoulder and an
upper lip torn open. His compan-
ions took him to Eagle Rock, where
his arm was set and the lip sewed
up, and he now laughs at the sport
of the hunt and rejoices that the
damage was no greater.
