Condor Globe: Thos Bledsoe, an old deaf
gentleman living In Lost Valley, met with
serious accident the first of the week, by
being kicked by horse. He was uncon-
sclous for several hours, and being alone,
made it doubly unfortunate for him. DR..

Venus. the evening star, has now become
so bright that she can be easily seen in the
day time, il one knows where to look. As

is in the constellation virgo, and Is nicely |
situated for evening observation. He can

We learn from the Hood River Gldcier
that William A. Blaine, aged 81 years. 9
months and "a days, died at the Locks last
Wednesday. Mr.. Blame leaves a widowed
mother and a younger brother and sister to
mourn his loss. He had been in the Locks
for only week or two having come from
his home in Kentucky to find employment,
that he might assist his mother. He had a
severe attack of typhoid pneumonia soon
after his arrival, and this caused his death.
The big-hearted people of the Locks did
everything in their power for him, and his
widowed mother may be comforted by the
knowledge that tender, womanly hands
smoothed his pillow, and generous hearts
provided for his every need. There were
over one hundred persons attended the fu-
neral services and the long procession that
followed the stranger to his long home, and
the beautiful flowers that decked his coffin,
tell their story of sorrow and sympathy. A
photograph of the procession was taken to
be sent to his relatives.
