Pennoyer announcing the death OF his
son, Horace, who was attending college
in Wiliamstown, Massachusetts,. Hor-
ace was taken down some days ago with
typhoid fever and became so low that
his mother was telegraphed for. Mrs.
Pennoyer Is expected to arrive there to-
night, having started from here Wednes-
day. Horace was bright and hand
some young fellow 10 years old, and OF
genial qualities that made for him a
large number OF friends who will he
much grieved to hear Of his sudden TAX
ing away. His remains will be inn
mediately brought home for interment
in the family lot.
Monday while threshing on ]. G.
Cooney's place, just south Of town,
his little son Willie narrowly escaped
frightful death. The little fellows
clothing caught on the tumbling shaft
while the machine was in motion and
he was violently thrown against the
ground number OF times before the
horses could be stopped. Only another
round or two OF the shaft and the little
fellows earthly career would have been
at an end. Fortunately no bones were
broken, but the little fellow is one mass
OF bruises and will be confined TO bis
bed for some time. He was 30 tightly
wrapped around the shaft that his
clothes had to be cut from his body be-
fore he could be liberated.
Heppner has been agitated thorough
ly for the past week, owing TO the ar
rest and trials in justice court OF the
saloon keepers for keeping open sun-
days. The first case called was j. b.
Matlock, proprietor Of the brewery
saloon. The case was submitted TO the
jury at 8 p. M, Friday, who brought in
verdict Of not guilty, after being out
two hours. Thursday morning u. b.
Tedrowe, proprietor Of the City Hotel
bar, was on trial. The case was given
TO the jury at p. M, and after being
out all night, they failed to agree. The
other three cases were dismissed, thus
ending chapter one Of the w. G. 7. u.
crusade in Heppner. Some think this
is the end of the fight against the
saloons; others say it is just the begin
ming. What further action will be
taken, remains TO be seen.
The first issue OF MitchelPs new paper,
the Monitor" reached our table last
week. Rocky Mountain" Smith, the
notorious temperance reforiner (who
tries TO drink all the liquors himself in
order to discourage others from drink
ing) and w. +. Magee, a school teacher
over there, were partners until the first
issue came out, and in it their dissolu-
tion notice appears. Rocky" has hit
the road again and the paper is now
owned and managed by Mr.. Magee.
The first issue was OF course edited by
Rocky and is filled up mainly by abuse
OF neighboring editors, some OF them re-
ceiving some fattering compliments.
In his general roundup be maps out
our friend Stewart of the Journal as "a
big nigger who never was known TO tell
the truth il falsehood answers as well, +"
etc. We wish the new paper success
under its new management, but believe
| a ill fo1l ak rf &c nhtaaf--f a
of having new county cut off-for g
number Of years yet, at least, until the
population and wealth justifies it.
