Farmers Protected.

Receiver Forbes, Of the Northern
Pacific Elevator company, at St.
Paul, applied to Judge Williams,
in the United States circuit court
for an order to distribute the wheat
which they had actually delivered
to the elevator company on its re-
ceipts. This was objected to by
the creditors, who held warehouse
receipts as collateral security for
notes. The judge granted the APP
pIication. lie held that the ele-
vator company was legally bound
to return the wheat to the farmers.
AS to the warehouse receipts, the
elevator company had issued them
without having the wheat in actnal
possession, and hence committed q
fraud.

Good News.

The long faces of our farmers
were shortened a trifle today says
the East Oregon'an by information
given them by Cashier Sturgis, Of
the First National bank. Several
went to him with statements that
they could get but 81 cents a bush
els for their wheat, and Mr.. Sturgis
relieved :heir dependency to some
extent by an agreement which will
be cheering news to many Umatilla
county farmers. All farmers hav-
ing paper due at the bank are Of
fered the privilege of paying the
same in wheat at forty cents per
bushel, free on board. In this way
they are given an opportunity to
relieve themselves from pressure
and obtain for their wheat consid-
cradle more than it's market value.
A better feeling has been created in
consequence.

Held "up" a Meat Wagon.

ED. Butrick, the Adams meat
dealer, had an experience the other
day with three hungry tramps
whom he met on the road, short
distance below Havana, while driv-
ing along with his meat wagon.
They suddenly sprang in front OF
the horses and "held him up" de.
manding beef or brains. Mr.. But.
rick started to drove ON, but one of
the men then leveled a pistol at
his head, and he considered this
sufficient inducement to remain,
He now told them it was unneces-
sary to frighten him further-he
would give up all the meat he had
and he handed out the few
pounds left in his wagon. They
wanted no money, evidently. for
this concession appeared to satisfy
them and they allowed him to de-
part in peace.

Among the Merchants.

The merchants of Athena enjoy
ed good trade Sunday. All day
at Hollis's the clerks were kept on
the jump while at Bloch's every
body was in q rush waiting on Gus
toners who did not have time to
come to town through the week.
Bergevin Bros, at the Grange store
three clerks had all they could pos
sibly attend to. Athena enjoys the
reputation of having the best mer-
chandise establishments in Uma-
tilla county and consequently her
merchants receive thegreat bulk of
the trade of the central part of the
county.
There is not much money in cir
culation, but to the contrary not
withstanding, considerable money
was put afloat in the numerous
channels ofcirculation. Taken all
in all, Sundays trade in this city
was good.

Restored It's Dead.

Mast Saturday some little girls
who happened along the banks Of
the Umatilla river, below Foster,
discovered the skeleton remains Of
a human being. They proved to
be all that is mortal of George
Marley, the unfortunate boy who
lost his life by drowning IN the
Umatilla some months ago, pro-
longed efforts to recover the body
proving futile. Now the river, its
waters receding, has given up its
dead. A casket was ordered from
Pendleton and the remains inter-
red. Several weeks ago when hope
Of finding the body had been aband-
oned, funeral services were held in
the presence of a large number Of
people.

! Dynamite in a Thresher.

News Of a diastardly attempt at
dynamiting, the full accomplish
mont of which would have resulted
in many lives being lost, comes
from near Dayton. Dynamite was
placed in the threshing machine of
Mr.. Butler. The explosion blew
out the cylinder and generally
wrecked the machine. Two men
were seriously hurt. There is no
clue to the perpetrators or the mo-
tives which actuated the deed.
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1893-09-01

A large threshing machine and
outfit arrived here last night from
the upper country to assist in
harvesting the big crop around
here. For the past two or three
years several owners from Wash
ington have found it profitable to
operate their machines in this
county. Notwithstanding there
have been many new machines sold
here this year many more outside
machines will be required to har-
Ryest the crop in the usual seasons
r6p owing to the acreage being SO
much greater than heretofore.

We hear considerable complaint
about fast driving on Fifth street.
Nearly every evening parties drive
on that street apparently to show
off their fast horses, and they raise
such dust as to make it very dis
agreeable to the residents in that
vicinity. There is city ordinance
forbidding any one to drive along
the streets at a faster rate than six
miles an hour. We would advise
those who desire to try the speed
of their horses to find some other
track. "a word to the wise is suf-
ficient."

Crop and Weather.
1t was slightly warmer last week;
the mean temperature ranged from
64 to u degrees. No rain occurred;
though it is much needed, The
sunshine was the average.
Harvesting and threshing of fall
wheat is nearly over. Early sown
spring wheat begins to ripen. Much
spring wheat and oats are green.
The second crop of alfalfa is being
cut. Haying will continue nearly
two weeks longer. Some wheat
will be shriveled and some will be
burnt; but generally the grain is
plump and of superior quality.
Prunes, pears and plums are plenti-
ful and of No. quality. Stock on
the range are in good condition.
Stock buyers are securing beef cat
tie for the markets. Water in the
streams is getting low, and there is
not sufficient water for irrigation
purposes. Vegetables need rain
badly.
