physicians, failed to save his life. The
family has been sorely afflicted. Mr..
Allen was engaged on the railroad in
the upper country and had his family
with him. All were stricken with ty-
phoid fever and were brought to their
home in Hood River. Good care and
medical treatment brought all through
except the little boy Ivan, who at one
time seemed to be in fair way to re-
cover when he was taken with chicken
pox, and being too weak to withstand
another seige OF disease, succumbed to
the grim messenger of Death. The af-
tiicted family have the sympathy of the
entire community.
The morphine fend who has been
loa6ng around Hood River since last

was taken by the thief. The man had
been selling the fruit about town and

the theft but afterwards owned up to it,
claiming that he was not able to work
and was refused anything to eat when
ever he went out to beg. The man and
his wife occupied a shack below the
depot. Both are addicted to the use of
the drug, and both have reached about
the lowest depths in human existence.

head Of Angora goats and has them at

deaden scrub oak and other wild under

does the rest They are especially fond
of young fruit trees and are dangerous

them.
