Last Friday Mrs. E. r. Thompson
and her daughters drove to New Ore
gon to enable the girls, who are in the
botany class, to go botanizing in the
grove. Tieing their horse securely in
a safe place they went in search o.
1 botanic specimens returning to find
their horse gone, finding that some
maliciously disposed person hao
driven far into the brush, breaking
both lamps and otherwise defacing
scratching and injuring the carriage
1t was an act OF pure malice and the
perpetrator should be severely punish
ed. Whosoever it was may think the
trick was smart but when Mr.. Thomp.
son gets through with them, they will
think differently. The best thing fol-
them is to come in and pay the damage
rather than be arrested, fined and
punished.
