Death of Huston Huffman.

The misfortune which overlook
Huston Huffman resulting in his death
was indeed sad affair, and one that
should serve as warning to all boys
to not handle firearms carelessly. The
evidence produced at the coroners in
quest, held by Justice Bayard, dis
closed the following facts:

last June, and worked for time for c.
W. Emerson on lower Fifteen-Mile
aud had made his home at Mr.. Emer-
sons since last December He was
attending school and at noon Tuesday
Mrs. Emerson had told him TO return
by Mr.. Noes as he came from school,
and bring with him some bread and a
cat. Instead of doing as he was told,
he came home, got horse, and also
dubble-barreled, muzzle-load shotgun,
being very fond of hunting, and went
to Mr.. Noes. There he got the things
be had been sent after, and started
home. He had left the shotgun at
what is called marker, wooden
contrivapce used in farming, about 40
rods from Mr.. Noes house. 1t is pre-
sumed the boy rode up to where the
gun was, and without dismounting
caught hold of the muzzle and under
took to lift it up when it was discharg-
ed. the load passing through his head

found about $50 in the evening by Mr..
Noes son. who had noticed Huffman's
horse standing near " here the accident
occurred, and had gone TO see what
was the matter. Huston Huffman was
II years of age, and was bright, in.
dustrious boy, though was very care
less.
The coroner's jury returned a verdict
in compliance with the facts and found
that no one was to blame for the acci-
dent.

health. The doctor intends ultimate
ly returning to Portland where he will
locate permanently. In the departure
of DIR. and Mrs. HollIster from The
Dalles we lose two of our most highly
respected citizen, whose places will be
difficult to fill, and the medical pro-
fession of the city sustains the loss OF
one of the most successful practitioners
in the state. However when the doc
tor locates in Portland he will make
weekly visits to Tne Dalles.
The Yakima Republican has solved
the mystery of the dust storm which
visited The Dalles several weeks ago.
Il claims the credit of Yakima county
having furnished the dust that was
carried over here by a heavy north
wind. The soil in Yakima valley is
very light, and Of a yellowish hue
similar to the dust that was seen here.
The Republicans theory is probably
correct.

morning had seven of the cars that

The body found floating in the Col
lumbia at Hood River yesterday was
not that of Frank Combs of Arlington,
as at first reported, but was that of a
German named Restroff, who was
drowned in John Day river some three
weeks ago. The remains were identi-
fed by F. A Snyder as those of Rest
rolf when the inquest was held before
Justice Prather, of Hood River. The
body was found by Peter Cooper, who
runs ferry between Hood River and
White Salmon. floating with some
drift wood, and was Laken ashore by
him. The body was clad in blue
flannel shirt and blue overalls, a
leather cuff was found on the left wrist
and one dollar in silver was found in
one of the pockets, though no letters
or papers were found on the body that
would lead to the Identification there
of. The body was feet inches in
height, light complexion, and appeared
to be that of man 25 years of age.
AS there were no marks of violence
found on the body, the verdict of the
jury was that the cause of death was
accidental drowning.
