ing metropolitan, and now boasts of street

Dayton Chronicle: Monday morning
Henry Markham met with q serious acci-
dent while tying bull to post. After
he had fastened the rope, the animal
suddenly became enraged and made
lunge at him, and before he realized his
danger. he was knocked to the ground,
the bulls horn entering his leg above
the knee, making an ugly wound. For
tunately the bull had reached the end of
his rope, or Mr.. Markham might have
been killed. DR.. McLachlan dressed the
wound which required twelve stitches to
be taken in 1t.
H. P. Isaacs, who has just returned
from an extended tour through the wheat
belt of Eastern Washington and Oregon,
says the Union Journal, does not place
so high an estimate on the quality OF
grain nor the average yield as was at
first anticipated. He says the grain is
more or less inferior. To the right
Colfax, and between Colfax and Lewis
ton, the grain is shriveled and smutty.

Canyon City Netos: A regiment of turkey
buzzards, numbering hundreds, was seen
lately between Pendleton and the Agency.
These ill-fayored birds were never seen be-
fore in that locality, and their presence in
such large numbers is puzzling those who
witnessed the spectacle. However, persons
who have observed the same immigration
of these fowls in eastern states, inform the
Nescs that their presence indicates severe
winter in the section where they congregate
in the fall, as the birds appear to have
natural intuition, which enables them to .
assemble in a country where much stock
will perish during the winter.
Baker Democrat: Thos. Lake met with
very painful accident yesterday afternoon,

keep his bed for several days at least. He
was at work on mis- new residence on the
east side when the scaffold which he was
standing on fell, precipitating Mr.. Lake to
the ground and 200 feet of lumber fell ON
him. Parties who were near ran to the
gentleman's assistance and DIR. o. M. Dod-
son was summoned. Upon examination it
was found that three of the ribs ON the left
side were detached from the cartilage. A
Democrat reporter called at Mr.. Lakes res
idence and found the gentleman resting as
easy as could be expected.
Teller: Wednesday of last week was q
day of serious moment to several of our
Waha neighbors. John Kiesecker, resi-
dent of that section, while hauling logs
down the mountain to the sawmill fell from
the load under the wagon, and had his right
leg crushed and shattered Just above the
knee. A messenger was dispatched for DR..
J. B. Morris. of this city, but the messen-
ger had gone but a few rods when he came
upon another man prostrate in the road. 1t
proved to be Martin Boyer, a well known
citizen of the same locality. He had just
been thrown from young and fractions
horse he had been riding and was seriously
injured. The doctor came with dispatch
and found that Boyer had broken arm and
fracture of the hip bone Kiesecker had
a serious compound fracture of the leg bone.
The flesh too is badly cut and bruised.
