STABBED AT ELMA.-Last Tuesday
morning Sheriff Caldwell received a
telephone message from Elma to look
after E. L. Moody, an ox-teamster
better known as "Doc', who had stab
bed Mrs. H. J. Bum, wife of the pro-
prietor of the Elma hotel, and laughter
of J. B. Forbes, of Kamilche. He es-
capped from Elma and was coming in
this direction. The sheriffs of adjoin-
ing counties and citizens from E1ma
are on the hunt for the criminal Mrs.
Bum was not fatally injured, and is
thought to be in no danger. Later
reports given by the Sunset Telephone
Company state that Mrs. Bum has
been bothered by Moody for the past
three years and about a year ago Mr..
Bum and Moody had fight. Moody
went to the residence Monday night
and wanted Mrs. Bum to elope with
him, but she refused. Then he pro-
posed to occupy her room with her
and this also was refused. Moody
drew knife and began s1ashing her.
She received several wounds, the most
serious being deep cash in the left
breast near the region of the heart.
There was great deal of excitement
at Elma, and reports say that if
caught then he would have been
lynched.

Berry pickers are making excur-
sions for blackberries, but owing to
extensive fires which covered most of
the country last year and destroyed
the vines, long trips have to be made
to find the berries. The Indians are
the best searchers, and come back
with their baskets full after a days
picking.
Look at our line of Hosiery it is the
best and cheapest we have ever shown.
