newspaper Spread a good-slzed one

Spread few newspapers on the stairs,
one on the rail SO that the man cannot
take to that and sleep in peace till the
crisp rustic comes to tell you of danger

ing over newspapers.
Baker Democrat: Last Saturday morn
G. Nj. Prichard, while driving two
horse team and wagon loaded with wood
and descending steep pitch ON Wash
ington gulch, came near being killed.
The brake gave way, allowing the wagon
to run upon the horses causing them to
run, when finally the wagon turned over,
throwing Mr.. Prichard to the ground and I
part of the wood on top of him. His
head and face were badly cut and he was1
injured about the body. Mr. Prichardj
came to town Monday and had his
wounds dressed by physician.
The complimentary terms in which we
spoke OF the wood work in Mr. Andrew
Keller's store yesterday are also applicable
to the neat job of painting done by Mr.
Paul Kreft. He never does ANYTHING that
is not irst-class and always displays an
artists taste and ability in the harmony of
coiors. The counters and shelves are
painted spotless white, with the exception
of the native wood on the former, and
most beautiful ornamentation of gliding
around the cornices. For neatness and
beauty the conception may be considered
perfect, and one can readily see the com
pieteness of the work.
One of the most important cases decided
by the supreme court lately was the long
contested state agricultural college case.
Its title was Joseph Liggett, ct al respond
ents, VS.. W. s. Ladd, ct al appellants, an
appeal from Benton county. Judgment
was reversed and the claim dismissed. The Ii
suit involves the state agricultural college
at Corvallis, and the decision of the supreme
court is that the deed from the trustees of
the Corvallis college OF the NJ. E. church,
south, to the board of regents of the state
agricultural college was one which the col
lege ought in equity and good conscience
to have made under its contract with the
state, and having done what it ought to do
the college has no cause to complain.
An attempt was made about o'clock
Sunday morning to burn Small's stable,
