Petrified Body Found.

/Crowds of people are flocking to the
iClough farm in Washington daily to see
the petrified body that was found there
last week. The body was found in
some quicksand by workmen who were
making small fish pond in the field
just above Huntington's mills. The
figure is about six feet long and is very
brittle. 1t has a peculiarly shaped head,
the forehead being very low and the back
of the head high. The cheek bones are
very high and for this reason it is thought
that the figure is that of an Indian buried
more that a century ago.

A HERO.

We scw the colonel on parade. ifs A most imposing sight he made. His swelling chest, his bearing proud, His voice peremptory and loud With awe inspired the gazing crowd. You really should have heard him when He shouted orders to his men. Yes, when he roared those orders out
 You should have seen them march about, In prompt compliance with his shout. Oh, very dignifed was he AS martial as man can be. So haughtily he held his head, His gflls became so very red, So turkey was his tread.
 We later saw him when he seemed Far meeker than we could have dreamo0 His step was soft. his voice subdued.
 His ruddy cheek was chalky-hued, With terror he seemed quite imbued. In such man as he twas queer
 But he was overcome with fear. He born to threaten and command! A rank poltroon with trembling hand, And knees that hardly let him stand. We marked his look of wild despair We heard his wife's voice on the stair. Chicago Daily News.

The facts of the case as near as can be learned, are: Two Italian fellows were trying their luck hunting and happened to cross Mr Rowley's land. Mir Rowley at once proceeded to arrest the two gentlemen. One surrendered his gunsand the other took a position on small knoll near by and asked Mir Rowley what author ity he had for arresting them. Nlr Rowley at once started to bring his hired man to take them both to Wa terbury, but shot from the Port Ar thur man baked all his plans. Now he is seeking vengeance. This is not Row ley's first episode. He is we'll known in the circles about the court room, and in the meantime we will await de velopments.
 As Abraham Greatzinger was sitting on his front porch yesterday couple of young gentlemen passed by and probably their appetite got the best of them, as they tried to confiscate two of Abraham's best fowls.

Overland to Sherman County.

James II. Fraser and family returned
Saturday evening from trip overland
to Sherman county, Oregon. Mr.. Fras-
cr has wheat farm in that county and
went over to look after his interests.
He says that all along his route were
good signs of prosperity. The farmers
are harvesting big crops and are using
TO cut their grain the large combine har.
vesting machines which require 30 and
40 horses to pull them. The country j.
in prosperous condition and the farm
ors are going to vote the republican tick %
ct. They are not ready to chance the
likelihood of a change in these GOOD times
by voting to remove from power the
party during whose administration such
conditions were brought about. Mr..
Fraser further said that he noticed
many of the towns in that part of Ore
gon were using crude oil on their
streets to lay the dust and make good
roads. The only disagrecable feature
that he could see was caused from the
fact that when this oil is first placed
upon the streets before it has time to
settle and be absorbed it adhercs tenac-
iously to the feet of everybody and the
homes are consequently subjected to
much oiiensivencss. Carpets and rugs
are ruined and everything the feet
touch is contaminated with the oil.
After this necessary preliminary has
been borne patiently or otherwise, how
ever, the roads are the best to be found
anywhere.
