made final proof on l60 acres on Bear creek,

Columbia Chronicle: Milton has a citizen
paralyzed, and to prevent his family from
suffering, kind hearted neighbors sowed the
few acres of land he possessed while provi-

same bountitul crop OF wheat. Now
comes Walla Waila lawyer who ievies on
the crop to satisfy an old debt and the help

Such may be the law, but it is not justice.
Albany Herald: Friday evening Mr.. B.
A. Witzsl, of Tangent, was kicked by an
nnruly COW, the blow breaking hi3 right
leg. DR.. J. l.. Hill, of this city, went up
and reduced the fracture. A milk man of
this city says that a man is out of his sphere
when fooling with kicking COWS. An aver
age small boy of Albany, he says, will so
overawe and scare the most Muscular oo-
vine that she will Lot dare to stir during
milking time.
East Oregonian: Clutch Nike" the
who strayed with his dog and
gun from the Butter creek mountains, is
still missing, aud his absence remains an
lnsolved mystery to the good people of that
section. Foul play is suspected, as the lost
nan had shown no symptoms whatever of
insanity. Perhaps at some future day,
when people remember little and care less
lbout the lost sheepherder, the skeleton re-
mains of man will be found in some lonely
,ulch, with his rusty gun, and perhaps the
ZONES of his faithful dog, at his side. Then
he story of poor Dutch Mikes" disap-
,earance will be revived, awaken pity
md interest, and pass again into oblivion.
