REMARKABLE CASUALTIES.

The drowning OF two children in the
east arm OF the bay, within week,
has caused a pail of sadness to fall over
our community, and has taught in no
uncertain manner the uncertainty OF
human life. The first of these was
Cedar Brown, an eight-year-old son of
the confsctioner who until lately has
occupied an annex to the Opera Ex-
change, and is now engaged in the
same business in one of the Lemon
buildings, corner of Fourth and
franklin streets. 1t seems that the
boy has followed the dangerous &C.
cupatlon OF q sportsman, and Satur-
day afternoon took his gun and start
ed out in quest of game. Not return
ing home at night, search was made,
and soon after dark his body was
found in the bay amid boom of logs,
where he had doubtless gone to shoot
ut the waterfowl that feed in that in
let. The funeral took place Tuesday
from the M. f. Church.
Monday afternoon, about O'Clock,
the three-year-old son of Oscar Craig,
was drowned within block OF the
former tragedy, by falling through the
wharf adjoining the Craig tenement
house. The absence OF the child was
discovered by the mother, doubtless
soon after the accident happened, and
was recovered, but too late for resusci.
tation. The child had just passed its
fourth birthday Sunday, and was the
idol OF its parents, for whom the
sympathy of the whole community is
aroused.

What is believed to be the younges,

What is believed to be the youngest
criminal in Whitman county-namely,
9-year-old boy-was Saturday COM
mitted to the Superior Court for trial
on a charge of robbery and malicious
mischief, at Pullman. The complain
ing witness was his mother, and the
principal witnesses for the State were
his mother and stepfather, Mr.. and
Mrs. Warren Averill, OF Palouse. The
boy is Charley Duncan, and he has
robbed his stepfather of $40, which
he stole from Q trunk. He also cut
open lot of grain sacks owned by
his stepfather and allowed the grain
to run out on the ground and waste.
He had planned to rob his uncle's
store and then flee to South Africa to
fight with the Beers for independence.
The other day, at Walla Walla,
Conrad Barnhart and Henry Schauer-
man, two Russians, had an alteration
while on their way home, after taking
several drinks. Darnhart, a large
powerful man, wanted to wrestle
Schauerman, Q much smaller man.
When the latter refused he was
knocked down. He was knocked
down again, and OIL rising from the
ground after the second knockdown,
he threw rock at Barnhart, which
struck him on the head. Barnhart
went home, washed the blood from
his face and went to bed, where he
shortly afterward became delirious. A
doctor being summoned, found the
skull so crushed that resort was had
to a surgical operation. Barnhart
died Sunday night.

OF Pacific Coast lumber manufacturers
is to be formed which will control the

that the Pacific Coast Lumber Manu-.
