A large shipment of flour from

Since the construction of this mill it
has made reputation for itself by the
splendid grade of flour turned out and

Someone stole valuable horse and
saddle from the barn of E. G. Fitzpat-

until today no clew has been found
Of the thief. The horse was
brown gclding about 6 years old, hind
feet whiLs half way to the hooks, shod
Ill around, white spot in forehead and
branded B x. The saddle was one
made by 81. l.. Kuck. of The Dalles,
with padded seat and roll in front, also
q silver mounted bride. This after
noon Sheriff Kelly found the horse in
the city pound and the theft must have
turned him loose, while the saddle and

The Idaho boys demonstrated their
ability as fighters while here last night
by getting into two lively fistic encoun-
ters. While eating supper one of the
boys made sighting remark abouc a
comrade which caused hard feelings.
after the meal was over
they came together il the Office of the
Umatilla house and as the offended
party was held off, one of his friends
stepped in as his proxy and for time
it looked as If general free for all
fight would ensue. Several bad blows
we're struck, but the officers stopped
the trouble before any others had time
to take part and some bloody noses
was the only result. Some local talent
also got mixed up with the soldiers,
but one of the latter pulled gun and
the aggressor from The Dalles sneaked
in double quick time.
