the story of the killing of Mrs. Wag-

HE REPENTED TOO LATE
So j. d. Heryford Must Pay
Birdie McCarty S22.500.

The breach Of promise suit against
James ID. Heryford of Lakeview by
Miss Birdie Mccarthy was tried last
week in the United States court in
Portland. The jury awarded a verdict
to Miss Mccarthy in the sum Of
S22, 800, Tho finding is considerd
cessive, and il is probable that new
trial will be ordered The case has
attracted a good deal of attention
throughout the state.
James ID. Heryford, cattle King and
banker, lives near Lakeview, Or.
There, in September, 1900 he met
the plaintiff in the suit, Miss Birdie
N. McCarty, who came out from
Michigan and began teaching school
in tho Lakeview neighborhood. She
took up her residence at the Hery-
fora ranch, and under the circum-
stances was naturally much in the
society of its opulcnt proprietor
Hcij ford ,iru drcyc Eyr to and from
school, wL..s "a, assisted her in build.
ing fires and sweeping out the school
house. His attentions to the school
mistress became marked, AS he was
alone in the world, and WAS doubtless
anxious to secure helpmate. Tc
and from the various places Of amuse'
ment functions Of the neighborhood he
was her escort, and during these re-
lations II was when Cupid got in his
work. The night before Christmas,
three years ago, their affections
reached the osculating point, while
driving home from social gathering
and on the night succeeding he asked
the matrimonial question. Tho party
intorrogated for time Ia which {,
take the matter under adyisement
and four days later gave an ailirma
tive reply with the understanding
that she be allowed to pass half Of he
time after marriage in Michigan. Ii
the course Of few weeks, following
the engagement, Miss McCarty say
Heryford compromised her, and he
relations with that understanding
continued until the summer Of 1901
when she went TO her home in Michi
gan to prepare for the wedding.
A correspondence was maintaino'
during the summer aud autumn, an
in October Miss McCarty claims t

in which was the confession that b
had ceased TO love her, and asking 70
a release from the contract betwee

A HEROIC PIONEER WOMAN
How Mrs Harris Fought the
Indians in 1855.

In the article which we publish in
this issue telling of the discovery of
Crater Lake, Mr.. Hillman mentions,
in connection with the Rogue River
Indian war, Mrs. Harris and Mrs.
wagoDer, and especially the heroism
of the former.
The Harris place, at the time of the
Indian war in 1855, was about seven
miles northwest of the present loca-
tion OF Grants Pass. 1t is the same
place which is now owned by DR.. W.
II. Flanagan of this city and which
lies about midway between Leuse
creek and Jump.off-Joe, on the wagon
road. At that time the road ran on
the other side of the place from here
it does now, nearer the mountain,
and the Harris dwelling was situated
on this road
The Indian attack in this country
was complete.surprise. The settlers
were unprepared and many of them
were massacred in their homes. The
Indians surrounded the Harris home
and called Harris 'out of the house.
AS he stepped from the doorway
they shot him. Mrs. Harris ran out
and dragged him inside the house
where he died soon after. She and
her daughter, girl some IL years old,
took rifles went up stairs where they
could command view of all points,
and with the heroic nerve which was
possessed by so many of our pioneer
women held the Indians at bay until
nightfall. When darkness came ON
they escaped from the house and lay
hidden all night in the willows
which grew on the place. In the
morning about nine or 10 o'clock a
small company of volunteers appeared
on the scene and they were rescued.
The house was burned by the Indians.
A boy living at the Harris home was
absent on an errand to the neighbor-
ing place at the time of the attack.
He was never seen afterwards and it
is supposed that he was killed by the
Indians
Mrs. Harris later became Mrs.
Chambers of Jacksonville and the
daughter was married to John Love
of the same place.
Mrs. Wagner lived on Louise creek
the place which is now occupied
by G. M. Savage. Her husband was
killed away from home either going
to or returning from Jacksonville.
She was taken prisoner by the In
dians and her fate was never learned.

other waist garnitures in lace. The
embroidered linens exhibited express
in the highest degree the present

man?

SO said the inquest.
What fired the brain to dare the
terrible deed? Liquor.
Whence came the liquor? From
yonder saloon.
And whence came that? By the per-
mission Of the law.
And how came the law? From state
an national legislatures.
But who compose those law making
bodiesr Representatives Of the peo-
pie, from among the people chosen by
ballot by the people.
Every ballot cast for the man or

whiskey traffic lived, perpetuated and
protected by the expressed wish Of the
voters OF tho commonwealth.

stains, and all the perfumes OF Arabia
could not sweeten her little hands
As long us tho legalized saloon exists,
spots Of blood will be on the hands Of
its protectors, and political expe-
diency cannot sweeten them.
After tho fatal shot our Carl was
borne to the hospital, and love and
skill did their best to keep him there.
When told that he would die, he ex-
pressed no fear, A few brief mes

soul went TO God, who gave IL. As the

miles TO the one whose name was last
upon his lips, and there, beneath q
Wilderness OF flowers, made still
sweeter with the baptism of many
tars, we laid our Carl to rest.
Over his grave we registered once
again the vote OF hostility to the
liquor traffic. Until tho hand was
cold MS his, and voices as silent,

never falter in their efforts to bring

With the novelist, we follow these
evicted farmers. Madness was the
end of one. One simple German wo-
nan was found dead in vacaot lot
in San Francisco. She had died OF
starvation and a little child was cry
ing in her rigid arms. Another, a
comely country lass, a stranger in the
great city, went the way of those
whose feet lay hold on hell. And
aloof from the squalor of the hunted
and harried victims of monopoly,
stood the palaces of the railroad mag
mates where beautiful women and i'm

made merry amid scenes OF royal

Is it without justification that the

these palaces from his side Of the So

ruffians in politics, ruffians in finance,
ruffians in law, ruffians in trade, brib-

Mr.. Bigelow said in part:
TO most of us the hook of Daniel
remains an unsolved riddle. This is
the favorite book of religionists who
seek scriptural authority for extrava-
CANT and fantastical doctrines. The
grotesque imagery will lend itself TO
almost any Interpretation.
What is the meaning of our text?
There may be those who know and
who are able to decipher from it the
exact date of the end of the world or
who find in it the key to other un-
locked mysteries.
