A Serious Runaway.

A horse driven by Frank
Friend and his father, Levi F.
Friend, runaway about 6 o'clock
last evening in this city. The
horse started at the corner OF
3rd and Huron streets, and ran
down Third, striking the hitch
ing posts at the fire station and
throwing both Frank and his
father out of the buggy. They
were both unconscious when
picked up, and were taken to
DR.. Gasson's hospital, and Dr..
Gasson dressed the wounds of
the men. L. F. Friend had
long cash above right eye tha
took several stitches to close,
and the skull was slightly frac-
tured. He was able to be taken
to his home, near Loveland last
night. Frank had a cash in
the top Of his head, and one un-
der his left jaw and had a rib
broken. He was not able to be
taken home until this afternoon.
Those who saw the runaway
thought surely both men were
killed. The buggy was badly
mashed up.
Mrs. spracklin, of Taylor
township, raised eighty acres

will have corn to burn this win
ter. The ears left with us are
all over II inches long and we'll

the prices terribly. Four, five, even

The road department has already

reason that he refushed to cash the
original $1,446.44 warrant presented by
Sam Johnson for the pay Of garbage

should be made out to the man per-

Several OF the Supervisors consider
that this Is the most satisfactory way
of settling the argument over methods
of payment once and for ell.
The immediate proposition Is that
men dependent on their wages for the
support Of themselves and families
are unpaid and have not seen cash for
over a month; that they are undergo

to blame and are entitled to the mon.

The Methodist conference, in ses-

the case of G. d. Nickelsen until the
next meeting at North Yakima.
Though no report has been made to
the conference, it is known that the
committee on conference relations
threshed the matter out early In the
session. Mr.. Nickelsen's friends at
first we're disposed to fight the matter
through conference if necessary, but
after reconsideration have come to
the conclusion that while they believe
they could win out in conference, the
church trials are of such recent date
that it would only raise trouble which
might do more harm than good to
Mr.. Nickelsen himself as we'll as to
the entire conference. The committee
accordingly determined to lay the
matter over another year. The mat
ter being in this condition, the com
mittee will make no report, and as Mr..
Nickelsen's friends have agreed to
this procedure, no minority report
will be made, so that unless the unfor-
seen should happen the Nickelsen case
is ended for this conference, says the
Spokesman Review.

The Climate and Crop Bulletin for
the week ending August 20, says:
The past week was cooler than the
previous one in the eastern section,
while in the eastern section the nights
we're cool, with moderately warm
days. A few small showers occurred
in the northwest Sunday and Monday,
but they we're insufficient to wet the
ground to any great depth, and rain
is still needed everywhere for late
crops and for pastures.
The grain harvest is drawing to a
close and thrashing is well along.
Fall wheat and barley continue to
yield well, but the berry of spring
wheat and oats shriveled during the
late hot weather and the yields are
disappointing. Pasturage is getting
very short and stock is losing flesh.
Corn and hops are making satisfactory
advancement. Late potatoes are at a
standstill and need rain badly.
Apples are generally smaller in size
than usual and the crop promises to
be below the average in quantity.
Prunes ale beginning to ripen.
