Farmer White came to town on Mon
day and with him came q vicious dog.
He tied his team at the corner OF Second
street and Yakima avenue and with the
wagon the dog remained. Several little
boys were playing in the street and one
OF them, little Tommy Grainey, ran across
the thoroughiare. As he did 30. the big
dog ran out from his bivouac under the
wagon and caught the urchin by the ley,
sinking his teeth in the flesh and making
painful wound. By,tanders who saw
the savage CANNES attack on the molten
sive boy called police officer and had
the dog arrested. What came OF the
vicious animal is not known in this office,
but he should have been killed for his
mad meanness. The lad was taken into
Capt. Chapman's drugstore where his
wounds were dressed.
Emile Meystre was tried this week in
superior court on the charge of killing a
calf, the property OF Mr.. Wilder OF the
Natcheez. Wilder and Meystre are
neighbors and the calf was found on Mr..
Meystre's place with bullet in its jaw,
which was the only evidence connecting
him with the crime. The jury very
prom ,tly brought in verdict OF not
guilty. This is the fourth attempt Wilder
has made to have Meystre convicted In
criminal prosecution, with like result
each time. The her cases grew out Of
some difficulty over irrigation bitches,
which could have been settled in civil
case, as the differences between the par.
ties we're honest ones. A proper adjudi-
cation OF their rights would have obviated
the necessity of criminal proceeding
ever having been instituted.
J.J. Mcdaniel, aged nearly Al years,
died on Monday, after prolonged i'll
ness. He was buried in Tahoma Gem
etery on Tuesday, from his mothers
residence, Rev. Robert Warner officiating.
Five brothers and one sister Tere present
at the sad rites incident to consigning the
remains to their last rest resting place.
Deceased was a pioneer OF Oregon,
where his wife and three children now
reside. He had songhc this climate for
restoration of health, but he came too
late. The community loses a valued
member in the death of Mr.. Mcdaniel.
The bereaved family have the sincere
coincidence of large circle OF acquaint-
ances aud friends.

The ubiquitous eye-tinker was in town
this week with his dodgers and glasses
and suave manners. the latter of which
he used with annoying persistency, the
first OF which he scattered with profit
