McMinnville Register: Tuesday evening
about o'clock, the citizens of Monmouth
were thrown into a state of excitement over
the startling news of the sudden death of
Mrs. H. w. Waller, wife of Rev. Waller.
Mrs. Waller was to all appearances in the
best of health up to the time she was last
seen alive. About o'clock in the evening
she went to the stairway and called to her
daughter, who was up stairs, to come and
look after some work. When the daughter
came down stairs, few minutes later, she
was horror stricken to see her mother sit
ting in chair, dead! She quickly gave the
alarm, but the soul of the body had fled,
and life was no more. The family are all
well known IN this city.
Goldendale Sentinel: Rev. J w. and

this county, and of course is all right, and |
it is presumed that Gene is also.

city or county Jail at Dayton; and the Off |
GERS most forget when they had one. We |
have four saloons and brewery and lots of |
hard drinkers, but the press and the people |

man gets feeling upwards for terra frma he
is soon out of sight and scrapping match
Is liauIdated by full 'ayment of a fine.
East Oregonian: Thursday morning an.
other sucker, who hailed from Shoshone,
was roped in by the two confidence men

enter a saloon, and ''sure thing" dice
game followed which resulted in his losing
$50 He notified the officers, but the vii
larns smelled rat and were soon off and
away for other fields. Search for them has
resulted fruitlessly.
Wednesday night at about 0 O'Clock, whiled
Marshal Singer and Deputy Marshal J. B.
Long were in the act of taking David Bond
to the city Jail at Brownsville, E. j. Mont
gomery and some others attempted to res
cue the prisoner, and after several blows
had been struck all around, some OF the res
cuers commenced firing pistols, and Deputy
Long drew his weapon. The result Is that
young Montgomery received a bullet in the
neck, Just missing the jugular vein. At
|
as it ranged downward. The man was
resting easily last night at the Arlington
hotel, and it is to be hoped the wound may
not prove fatal. Bond was lodged safely in
Jail, however. As usual, whisky is the
cause.
Waitsburg Times: We are in receipt of
letter asking for the whereabouts of James
r. Harris, a tall, heavy man, with dark
hair and eyes. The letter concludes with
these words: "He ran away from Corning,
Iowa, leaving debts, and not cent for his
wife to live on" The letter is signed oy
Mrs. Mary B. Harris. Now, James, if this
little notice should catch the glimpse of
your runaway eye, bear in mind that you
are doing great wrong to one whom you
vowed to love, cherish, provide for and pro-
tect, and remember, too, that for such
crime as forsaking wife, the great God Of
the universe will hold you accountable at
the last day. Repent and fo-sake your
evil ways and return to the companion of
your selection, before it is eternally too late.
