torney W. II. Lewis represented the
defendant. The alderman withheld his
decision for two days In order to give
the attorney u chance to prove his
case. |. e. that the father was not re-
sponsible. Here is the opinion of the
alderman founded on Attorney Lewis
law quotations.:
THE general rule is that father is
not liable for the torts of his Junior
child. A parent cannot be held
liable for the wilful trespasses of his
infant children when he neither as
sents to or ratifies them. ON
the whole II may be stated that as Il
rule a father is not liable in damages
for the torts of his child, committed
without his knowledge, consent, par
ticipation, or sanction, and not in the
course OF his employment Of the child"

Peach Crop DESTROYED.

The amount of damage done to the
fruit crop by the last freeze-up has
been pretty we'll ascertained, and it is
more serious that at first supposed, but
not so bad as it might have been.
Practically, the entire peace crop Of
the state has been destroyed. In the
vicinity of Medford there may be a
tenth of crop, but to all extent and
purposes the peach crop is done for.
Early cherries are also completely de-
stroyed, and so per cent of early prunes
were killed. Early pears were also in
jured to some extent. These facts are
obtained from Mr.. M. o. Lownsdale,
who has carefully looked into the
matter. He says it was not frost that
did the injury, but a regular freeze-up.
the like of which SO late in the spring
has not been known here since the
state was settled. The only consola-
tion fruitgrowers have is that the
trees on which the fruit was killed
will have a rest this season and will
make an extra growth. No one need
be alarmed about scarcity of fruit, as
there will be plenty of late cherries,
pear, plums, apples, etc.-Oregonian.

W. r. Ellis, of Heppner, free-silver
man, was reno minated for congress
last night at Portland on the third bal
lot, by the republicans of the second
district.
Wallace McCammant of Multnomah
and G. w. Parrish of Grant county,
sound money men, were elected dele
gates to the ST. Louis convention and
instructed for Mckinley.
Ellis nomination was brought about
by combination of the Ellis men with
the antiSimon delegates from Multno'
nah county. When the convention
met in the morning and elected C. w.
Fulton of Clatsop county, chairman
and A. w. Patterson of Heppner sec.
retary, it was apparent that the anti
Simon men would at least have rep
resentation in the convention.
Paxton, of Multnomah introduced a
resolution instructing the delegates to
the national republican convention 10
work for Mckinley first, last and all
the time. Bourne and Hendley were
elected as alter nate delegates to the
