Last Monday man whose name we have not
learned. drove to Sandy Lake for the purpose of
watering his horse. He went little too far,
for there is a sudden stepping off place. at
that part Of the lake. and the animal and buggy
with colt that was attached to it. suddenly
went beyond their depth, and after struggling
and founderipg about. all went to the bottom
save the driver who swallowed considerable
water and would undoubtedly have been drown
ed had it not been for the opportune arrival of
assistance. After rescuing him. one of the men
dove to the bottom and freed the colt from his
fastenings and it was saved. but the horse was
drowned.

body was recovered the same day.
Mrs. Eliza Parshall. who resides in the south
west part of this township. met with serious
and what may yet prove a fatal accident. few
days since. Itappears that she and her daugh-
ter had been away with horse and buggy. and
upon their return to the daughters home decided
to feed the horse some grain before carrying the
mother to her home. Thereupon the daughter
proceeded to remove the bride from tho horse
and place a strap around his neck. Mrs. Par

remaining in the buggy. The horse. doubtless
thinking itself free. started briskly away. 1t
soon got away from the daughter. ran around the
yard, threw the mother violently out breaking
both arms and injuring one hip. Drs. Leonard
and Alcorn. of Ravenna. were summoned and
rendered efficient surgical aid, but we learn that
grave fears are entertained as to her recovery.
Geo. Maldinger the young man who purchased

stuck clean through his hand. The injury is of

SHALERSVILLE,

Our Republican brethren were considerably
excited last week over a delegate to the War
rem convention to be held next week. Wires
were pulled industriously until Saturday eve-
ming, when the caucus was held. Will Hurd
was placed in nomination by the Taylor men.
and Horace Hine by the Derthick men. The
count showed 81 for Hurd and 81 for Hine. We
think that the Taylor men showed nearly their
entire strength.

The Price of Dead-Beats.
Washington Cor. N. Y. " orld.

Beau Hickman was the prince of Wash
ington dead beats. For more than fifty
years he worked the statesmen and stran
gers for drinks and loans. Henry Clay
was one of his victims, and starting here
with some money and good clothes he
managed to live for more than generation
on that he could squeeze out OF strangers.
Another noted character of the same kind
was Ben Buffers nephew "a son A. J.
Butler, once of California; who at one
time was Consul-General to Egypt, and
vino while there went to the Khedive and
told him that the United States Govern
ment paid HIM very poorly and he would
like to have an allowance fiom the Royal
Treasury. The Khedive gave him some
thing and be managed to squeeze out
quite an amount in addition to his salary.
He had a number of other appointments,
but he drank himself out of all of them
and then came back to Washington to
loaf about the hotels here. One of the
leading restaurteurs of the Capital had an
order to give him all he wanted to eat,
but nothing to drink, and thus he lived
for some years. He was one of the most
brilliant writers In the United States, and
when sober was very entertaining con-
versatinnalist. He was married twice
and his first wife was Rose EytiDge, the
actress. She got divoice and Butler
married nice little woman, who took
care of him almost to the tims of his
death.

after the disturbance had ended, aud as a
means of protection in any future emer-
gency.
We are informed that the foreman in
the machine shops said he had no room
to build new cars in this city. The mas.
ter OF motive power, who lately visited
the works in The Dalles, said there was
plenty of room to build forty-six cars a
day if the men were employed. This
shows the enemies of our city have been
those who have fed at our bounty for
several years.
The following from the Waitsburg Times
clearly demonstrates the fact that an editor
should not give up his pencil for the plow:
eve had our first experience in farming
this season. On May 7th we sowed one
acre or thereabouts in Alfalfa, and on June
9TH it had reached an average height of
about two feet, so we thought it time to
make hay while tho sun shines. We put
man to harvesting that hay crop and by
night it was in the swatii. That light there
came rain, and now that alfalfas name is
Dennis. That's all we have SO far learned
about farming"

Nebraska Cyclone.

Ihe following pen picture OF cyclone
was written by the Misses Hollister to their
brother, DIR. o. C. Hollister, of this city:
WILCOX, Neb., July 6, $780,
DEAR OTIE:-I received your little note
last night and it reminded me somewhat of
the Irishman who implored his friend if he
really were killed not to keep in ''suspince
but to PLACE spake up and say so."
We have not as yet visited the tree tops
under the escort OF a cyclone and are not
expecting such all event immediately, owing
to scarcity of trees. Cyclones are plentiful.
We enjoyed little diversion few nights
ago which the natives call a tornado. Puss
and were reposing peacefully in our downy
couch when we were rudely awakened by a
sensation that seemed to us like unto being
''rocked in the cradle of the deep. We rose
and appeared in great haste at the door and
enquired of cur uncle if he thought we had
better go on the outside. He replied that
if we would retire he would investigate,
and we retired forthwith, and closed the
doors of our apartment, an act that caused
us some trouble later on.
Uncle went to the front door, and seeing
that the landscape was moving abont in the
air in a remarkably reckless manner, he
called to US that he would hold the front
door open, and when we really became con-
vinced that the house was going over We
were to open our door and come out to
take our chances on the prairie. Meantime
the gentle zephyr continued to juggle play
fully with the house and Puss and coz
cluded that the moment of our grand en-
trance had arrived.
We rejoice in double doors to our room
and on this occasion the wind was in such q
direction and was blowing with such force
that the doors were securely locked one
against the other. We worked manfully at
them expecting every moment to find our
selves rafting around the ceiling and at
last succeeded in opening them, only to be
told that the sterm had passed. IL our ex-
citement and despair about the doors we
had not noticed that the rocking had ceased.
If the storm did nothing else, however, it
took quite chunk of our peace of mlnd for
it has left us both in terror of wind storms.
1t seems that we were just on the edge of
the path of the storm, and the only import.

There are few, if any, towns IN Oregon
the size of Prineville that serves as depot
of supplies for an area of country, nearly or
quite seventy miles square. 1t is little
wonder, when the facts are considered, that
singls mercantile house in this town will
sometime sell in one day as much as $4,000
worth of goods. The annual purchase of
stockmen's supplies in this town is simply
immense. No purely agricultural region is
more prosperous than our own. Our wealth
is our stock, from the sale of which we get
more profit than the valley farmer can pos
sibly obtain from the sale of wheat at IS
cents per bushel
