4 lore his friends could reach him was

unheard-of denizens of the forest in
that country which they brought
back consist OF snap shots OF mount

4 The Jury in Judge Prather's court
at Spokane, in the damage suit OF
Bertha A. Orion and her child, Carl
L. Orion, against Frank Stentz, john
Bilfer, Jr., John .Bilfer, ST., and Henry
Litchworth for $4,000, awarded her
$4,000. This grows out of the acct
dent which occurred near Cheney on
October 16 last, when the travelling
insurance man, NJ. w. Orion, while
riding q bicycle was run over and
killed by the defendants in wagon
and four horse team. He had land
interests in this county and solicited
here for several weeks.

and belonging to w. F. Despair, the
drayman, became excited at the yards

of the wagon and at the heels OF the
horses. Injuries to his back and Sc
we're slashes on the head were the re-
suit but are not believed fatal by the
attending physician. The wagon was
broken and fragments scattered along
the route.

enterprising young lady.
