she is the property of William Chambers
now Of Afbina, and was tenderly placed

Chambers moved below. Owing to the
absence of the sheriff she has not yet
had her trial, but so many charges are
made against her that we fear it will go

ought to be sent to the penitentiary for
life.F

measure nine inches and were plucked

business in the town Of 'Heppner, we
believe, and from our own personal
-knoRledgeweh have no hesitation in say
ing that there is not nicer little farm
and home. than this same place, in all
Wasco county.
