In the settlement of the Charles @.
Brown estate, @. B. Wade, the admins.
traitor, was compelled to follow legal
course relating to heirs which shows the
law and will doubtless be news to ma.
jority Of readers, says the East Oregon
ian. The estate was valued at $l5, 900 by
appraisement and the property was good
property. Mr.. Brown left will in which
all the property was left to John and
Sarah Geiss, with whom Mr.. Brown lived
for several years prior to his death.
Although Mr.. Brown probably had
relatives living, yet the administrator
could not find them. He took such legal
steps as required by giving proper notice
by publication and then. when no heirs
by birth appeared and claimed an inter
est in the property, the estate was closed
up, and 500 was deposited with the coun-
ty court to be left there until some heir
should appear claiming the property.
He will then receive 81 and the ne xt
heir who comes will receive the same
amount. This will probably never hap
pen, and the $40 will remain with the
county clerk until doomsday.

A GOLD NUGGET.
The Little Nelson Girl, Who Was

The Little Nelson Girl, Who Was
Lost, Found Valuable One.
The father of Emma Nelson the little
4.year old girl that was lost on Seattle
mountain near Susanville some weeks
ago was in Pendleton the other day and
he told the East Oregonian of a find the
little girl made which may prove valn-
able some day. She told her father and
brother one day that abe knew where
there was piece Of gold, and asked them
to come with her to take it out. They
went and saw piece of quartz in a
crevice and containing such quantities OF
pure gold that, although the piece was
only 81 inches long, 2 inches wide and
an inch thick, there is at least $25 worth
OF gold In it. The piece probably came
from pocket, and Mr.. Nelson has been
searching for the vein in which the
pocket is located. He would say nothing,
OF course, as to where the vein is being
looked for, as he proposes to find it him
self ii possible.
Mr. Nelson told about the wanderings
Of his little girl, as recounted in the
papers at the time; and says she really
ate from some dead animals body, but
knows not wheather it was calf or a
sheep. She missed the bridge at the
creek and in that manner was parted
from the rest of the people.

MILTON EAaLE.l

The great bulk of East End wheat is
under cover, for the farmers have been
straining every nerve to that end for the
past week.
The town COW still meanders along the
sidewalks unmoleeted by the edicts OF
the town council. It's wonderful the
number of admirers the BOVINE tribe has
among our worthy citizens.
Claude Steen sold 10000 bushels OF
wheat to William Jones, Of Walla Walla,
last week for 40 cents per bushel. The
wheat was Of good quality but the figure
paid is considered a little above the
market by local dealers.
The A. b. B. gold saving machine
manufacturing plant will hereafter be
located at Milton. Milton people should
lend it all the encouragement possible.
The machine has proven itself success
and will be the cause OF bringing thous
ands of dollars to this country.
W., Brown returned home from a
three weeks trip to Wallowa valley yes
terday. He says the report OF probable
danger of an Indian outbreak over there
was utterly without particle Of founda-
ton. There are large number OF In
dians in the valley, as there always are
at this time of year, but they have made
no demonstrations that would lead the
whites to believe they are anything but
peaceable.
The champion peach discovered this
year was presented to the Eagle the first
of the week by Mr.. N. A. Davis, OF the
| bank OF Milton, and was grown on one OF
| his trees on the grounds OF his Mill street
residence. 1t is of the half.Indian vari-
ETY., fraction less than IL inches in cir
cumference and weighs IA ounces, avoir-
dupois.
Two little girls, daughters of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. B. Coffee, whose place OF abode
is below Freewater, concluded to see the
world ! one day last week, and accord
| ingly left the parental root without the
knowledge OF their father and mother.
After long walk through the hot sun
they finally brought up in Walla Walla
and sought work, in the new women style
at an employment Office. In answer to
the query propounded as to where they
were from, they replied that their home
was In the Willamette valley. Suspect
ing, however, that they resided some
where in the immediate neighborhood

WESTON LEADER ]

Willis Marsh has been elected teacher

next Monday.
The family OF A. D. Blue have again
removed to Weston, Mics Blue being q
student at the Normal.
The party Of gold.seekers who left
Weston recently with the Blair machine
arc now encamped on Snake river, six
teen miles above Lewiston. When heard
from they were preparing to start the
gold-saver in operatian the next day. The
Allen & Baker machine is also being op-
Grated in that locality.
There will be Bryan pole-raising at
Milton on Saturday, September 10th.
There will be public speaking, and q
good, old-fashioned, political love feast.
A cordial invitation to attend is extend
ed to the friends OF free silver, and those
of it's enemies who may desire to be con-
verted. Milton would be pleased TO see
the Bryan Club Of Weston particularly
well represented.
II. Macarthur was over from Athena,
Monday, suffusing his geniality among
friends. Mr.. Macarthur lately made q
eale of 10000 bushels OF wheat, receiving
So cents for part Of IL, and 33 cents fol
the remainder. The wheat would moi
rank as No. /, and, this was fairly good
price under present conditions He has
10000 bushels left, and of course hopper
that the market outlook will brighter
somewhat.
Henry Pinkerton, one of our leading
farmers, has now became q permanent
resident of Weston. Mr.. PiDkerton's two
SONS attend the Normal, and the distance
to town from his farm, over three miles
has been somewhat inconvenient fol
them. Mr. Pinkerton has therefore
purchased residence in town, the Geo
Stages property on upper Water street

zen.

Free After Thousands of Years


1t is reported by the men who were en-
gagged in excavating for Davenport saw
mill, at the head OF the ditch, near Hood
river, and they are all truthful men, says
the Glacier, that after blast was set off
a live toad was set free that had been i'm
bedded in the hard basatic rock Is inches
from the surface. The toad had swelled
up to several times his natural size, and
completely filed the cavity where he had
been imprisoned for thousands Of years.
AS coon as set free by the blast, the toad
wilted to the ordinary size and hopped
away, probably to hunt up the compan-
ions Of his youth. The kind.hearted men
stood and watched the toad enjoy his
liberty. They couldn't think of making
the toad prisoner again even for exhi-
bition, and brought to town only the hole
in the rock to verify their story.
