BAD FOR BEN BOWERS

Irving McQuary, now of the Silver
Hammer, st. Anthony, Idaho, has the
following to say of the curious action OF
"chunck o. lightning" during an electric
storm at st. Anthony recently:
"The Silver Hammer building was
victim OF thunderbolt Tuesday evening
and the four occupants OF the office at the
time received shaking up that they
will not soon forget. The building was
struck on the east side of the office about
four feet from the corner and the thun-
derbolt darted through the building
spent it's force on the northeast corner.
Had the bolt went straight through the
building it would no doubt have proven
fatal to one or more persons. Spllnters
we're blown all around the building from
the blow and it is big wonder that IRE
was not started. Many people around
town noticed the fash strike and Tor
while many visitors were over to exam
inc the damage and comment upon the
phenomena.
at is presumed that the lightning was
hunting for the editor, anyway it pierced
the wall ut q place where the editor
generally rests bis weary bones, about
that hour, in the perusal OF exchanges,
No doubt after discovering his absence il
intended to sneak through and stab the
fighting editor in the back, but the said
parsonage was in close proximity to 9
congressional library, containing some o.
VIM. McKinley's silver speeches, and il
was 80 mortified that it sneaked off IL
the corner, and once outside buried
itself in sand pit.
"The report was as the sound Of 6
monster cannon, and the ball Of fire wal
brilliant and beyond description. N. P
Hanson, of the Teton cheese factory, was
in the office at the time, and being
nearer to the path Of the current, received
the most shaking up"

Ridge Items.

Ridge, Oregon, August 4.--The val,
ley is nearly depopulated on account Of
nearly all the men folks being scattered
around in the harvest fields north OF
Pendleton. The remaining population
being principally women, spend most OF
their time in gathering huckleberrief
and mourning for their departed loved
ones.
Harvest is about completed for this
year, and this winter there will be hay
enough to feed the principal portion ol
the cattle and sheep raised in the valley
which will be quite saving to stockmen
who have heretofore been compelled. to
drive their stock to other quarters for
wintering.
Born to Mr.. and Mrs. j. l.. Hall, a
few days ago, ten pound boy. Jim is
now the happy possessor of two OF the
finest boys in the county and he chsl-
lenges the world to produce their equal.
Jos. Mclaughlin came near meeting
with fatal accident while working in
his saw mill, caused by plank which he
was carrying coming in contact with the
saw. At last account he was getting
along all right.
"Hurrah for Bryan" is the general
verdict Of the people on all sides, ends
bottom, top and middle OF the valley.
The people here are for silver and are
going to vote for man who has got
backbone enough to show his colors.
They say Mckinley is not strong enough
in bis opinion, as it seems he wants to
get the silver vote and the gold vote and
is afraid to stand up straight for either
side as he is afraid OF the other. AS for
the vice presidency, there is not much
said about it, ss the silver forces are con
centrating upon one man and that mar
is Bryan. Three cheers for the mex
president of the United States, Willlau
Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska.

Last summer one Of our grand children
was sick with severe bowl trouble. Our
doctors remedies had failed, then We
tried Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Disrrhoea Remedy, which gave very
speedy relief. We regard it as the best
medicine ever put on the market for
bowel complaints Mrs. E, G, Gregory,
Federickstown, Mo. This certainly is
the best medicine ever put on the market
for dysentery, summer complaint, collie
and cholera infantum in children, 1t
never fails to give prompt relief when
used in reasonable time and the plain
printed directions are followed. Many
mothers have expressed their sincere
gratitude for the cures it has effected.

Joe Hudspeth Throws Light on the
Mystery.
Weston Leader.l

Weston Leader.
Had the testimony OF an important
wi ness now absent from this section
been obtained at the Jay Keith inquest,
it would have tended still further to con-
meet Ben Bowers with the murder oil
this handsome young rider OF Cherokee
! descent.
This witness is Joe Hudspeth, who is
now in Anderson valley. Hudspeth waE
q friend Of Keith, and was on the Weston
mountain at the time the ycuog man dis
appeared
In letter to his brother, Hudspeth
| writes that Keith and Bow ers rode away
from the Stark place together, intending
| to go across the mountains. Keith had
bidden last farewell to Hudspeth, stat
ing that his eventual destination was the
Cherokee nation.
On the evening OF the day that the two
riders left on their trip, Bowers returned
to Starks place alone. Next day he was
at Fletcher's mill and attempted to
borrow money from Mr.. Fletcher, stating
that he had killed Keith and wanted to
leave the country. On another occasion
he was asked what had become of Keith,
and replied that he had left the -- -
lying in canyon. But little attention
was paid to Bowers at the time, in the
belief that he was blowbard.
How Keith happened to accompany
Bowers into the wild canyon where lies
the old "horsethieves' corral" is the
strangest part of the tragedy Possibly
Bowers said they might there easily
gather up some loose stock, which could
be disposed off with safety and profit
across the mountains.
Bowers has evidently succeeded in
putting many miles between himself and
prison bars. SO far as known, no trace
of his whereabouts has yet been dis
covered

To Regain the Use of a Hand.

G, P. Davis son Paul went to Oregon
City about July to have all operation
performed on his crippled hand, Gays the
East Oregonian. The operation was per-
formed few days ago and photographs
have been sent to bis people here show
ing the "before and after" condition
The result so far is very satisfactory.
Before the operation the hand was
wholly useless. The wrist was bent SO
that the hand was at right angles with
the arm and all the fingers were drawn
down close to the palm OF the hand. An
incision was made at the wrist joint and
q large number Of bones taken out and
the hand Strengthened.

Lemons, with their powerful acid, are

claimed capital of $4,000. Mr.. Spate had the
management of the business. as Mr.. White Is
also in the carpet manufacturing business in

failure was caused by the failure OF l.. c.

and because the banks here shut down on

DIAMOND DEALER AroN's FAILURE
The Name OF the Diahoues, Employee WhS
Caused IL Not Made Pnblic Yet.

Much surprise was manifested yesterday
among the diamond dealers down town when
the failure OF Julius VI. Lyon. a Wholesale
dealer in diamonds at 20 Maiden lane, was
announced. The surprise was not much on
account Of the failure itself as the manner in
which 1t brought about Mr.. Lyon was
generally regarded By the trade shrewd
business man. and people marvcled when 1t
was announced that the failure was due TO the
dishonesty of an employee who. Mr. Lyon says,
stole over $50. 600 worth OF diamonds from him.
Neither Mr. Lyon nor his assignee. Lawyer
Henry Gottgetreu. would divuigo the name of
this employee yesterday. They said that 10
might interfere with arrangements now going
on for the settlement of Mr.. Lyons affairs.
Mr. Gottgetreu said the stealing had been going
on for more than two years. and WAS made DOS
sIble through the method of business whioh 10
In vogue generally in the diamond tIade
The employee got 100000 worth of diamonds
on memorandum and at least as much more
through fictitious open accounts. From time to
time he disposed of the diamonds which he had
on memorandum at n low figure for cash TO sat-
isfy the open accounts when they became due.
In this manner he gave Mr.. Lyon no cause for
suspicion. Mr.. GOttRrtreu declined to state
whether the police Ind been called in. but he
intlmated that there might DO developments
within Few days.
He said the liabilities were about 100 900 and
SChi,s OF 65 Nassau street, who hold Mr. Lyons
paper to III" extent of Sl69il. are the only pre-.
ferred creditors. Tie other creditors declined
to discuss tho failure yesterday.
