A }oke in two chapters was enacted
Saturday evening by the people on the
lower floor of the Snith-Crawford
building and has been a topic OF gen.
eral conversation in that end of town
today. The principal participants
were Coroner Ralph Folsom and the
employees of the Fair store. That
the honors at presentare all with the
latter is admitted by the coroner.
Saturday afternoon the ladies of the
Fair store were each very much
alarmed by receiving subpoeanaes
to appear in the circuit court at 9
O'Clock this morning to give testimony
in the damage suit now pending
against the city and in which Baker &
Folsom. the Fair Store and the Peo-
pies Warehouse are the plaintiffs.
The subpoeanaes were all the more
serious by the fact that they were
written upon the coroner's stationery.
For half an hour or more the ladies
were regretting their misfortune and
dreading the idea of appearing as
witnesses. Then the fact dawned upon
them that they had been tricked
and that the subpoenaes We're bogus.
Plans for revenge were then taken up
and that evening they were carried
through with a vengeance.
Shortly after the stores were closed
Saturday evening the phone at Coro-
ner Folsom's rang and that official
responded. He was informed that a
dead man had been found on the
levee a few blocks below Main street
I shall be right down, shall bring
the wagon?" answered the unsuspect-
ing undertaken.
He was told to use his own pleas
ure about the dead wagon and soon
afterwards he drove down to the place
designated accompanied by Mr.. Love
AT a convenient distance behind the
coroners party walked a delegation
from the Fair store, and they station
ed themselves so they could watch
proceedings.
The dead man" was found on the
levee as promised. He was young
Bowman, furnishing goods man in the
store.
II don't believe he is dead" said
one of the party when they first
reached the scene. He is not stiff
enough"
"oh, yes, he is dead alright" as
sured the coroner.
However, in3 order to make sure
that no life remained in the unfortu-
nate one it was decided to rub him
with snow. But as the first handful
descended upon his face the corpse"
uttered a yell that gave the plot away
completely, while the spectators in
the distance Uttered gleefully.
ut is all on me-" laughed the coro.

first shock Of seeing the dead man
come to life.

NORTHERN GRANT ORGANIZES.
stockmen viii Cooperate With Those
of Southern End.

An organization of stockmen of
northern Grant has been effected
withe headquarters at Monument,
says the Long Creek News. It is an
effort on the part of the stockmen
to get into a position where they can
make an effective fight for their
rights. They are busy at the present
time cndeavoring to secure range in
the Heppner reserve and 1t is safe
to say will do all they can to allevi-
ate the conditions In this county.
They are taking a step that the Co.
lumbia river stockmen took a long
time ago and their organization
should contain the name of every
stockraiser in northern Grant and the
cooperation Of every citizen.
The following is a list Of the as
scciation: Oscar Schafer was elected
president and Thomas Haywood Sec
retary of the association. Emmit
Cochran was authorized to act as the
associations representative to the ex-
ecrt!ve committee Of the Grant Coun-
ty Stock association.
One purpose of the association is to
cooperate with the association in the
south half of the county.

sic more than in the purely humorous
features. The play is located in
France and the period is 1890.
That the performance was well ap-
preciated was shown by the good ap-
plause and the numerous encores to
which the players were treated. BY
the most of those who saw Sergeant

terms, though there are others who
failed to see the particular merits of
the show and regard 1t as fit for the
theatrical scrap pile.

A PROMINENT EDUCATOR.
Declares Vlnol In tho Best Cod Liver
Preparation.

There has been good deal of dis
cussion in Pendleton regarding the
merits of cod liver oil preparations,
and whether or not cod liver oil and
emulsions, that upset the stomach
have any medicinal virtue; Therefore,
the following letter from NJ. A. Cas-
Stdy, superintendent of schools, Lex
ington, KY, will be read with interest !:
II am pleased to state that after
having used and tested the different
cod liver oil preparations on the
market, I find Vinol to be far SUPER
ior to them all.
"Vinol built up my system,
strengthened my nerves and made a
new man of me. and heartily en-
dorEe 1t as the most efficacious and
agreeable cod liver Oil preparation on
the market"
A member of the Pendleton Drug
Co., when asked his opinion in regard
to Vinol, replied; eve have never sold
ANYTHING in our store better than Vi
mol to create strength, cure stomach
troubles, chronic coughs. colds, bron-
chitis and incipient consumption, or
to make growing children robust and
give strength and vigor to the aged.
ut is for this reason that we offer
to return money in every case where
1t fails" The Pendleton Drug Co.
Note.-While we are sole agents
for Vinol in Pendleton, 1t is now for
sale at the leading store In nearlv
every town and city in the country.

With six inches or more Of snow
covering the ground, and no immed-
ate prospect for the breaking up Of
winter, stockmen are commencing to
look with somewhat anxious eyes at
their supply OF feed. For several
weeks past most of the sheepmen Of
this county have been forced to feed
their flocks, and while they are still
p1 opared to do SO, few weeks more
OF the present weather would make
the hay stacks look small.
"If the present weather continues
4 few weeks more we will likely have
one of the worst seasons on stock in
many years." declared a stockman

ANOTHER COAL MINE HORROR
over $50 Miners Are Entombed and
There Is No Hope to Rescue
Them,

Jacobs Creek, Pa, Dec. 21-An ex.
plosion of gas in the Darr mine OF
the Pittsburg Coal company, located
here, has entombed between 200 and
25O miners, and there is scarcely a ray
of hope that single one of them will
be taken from the mine alive. Par
TALLY wrecked buildings in the vicinity
of the mine and the few bodies found
early in the rescue work indicate an
explosion of such terrific force that it
seems impossible that any one could
have survived it. All of the 10 bodies
taken out up to this time are terribly
mutilated, and three of them are head
less.
This is the third mine disaster since
the first of the month in the veins of
bltuminous coal underlying western
pennsylvania and West Virginia for
the Naomi mine, near Fayette City,
and the two mines at Monongah, w.
Va, in which the earlier explosions
happened, are in the same belt as the
local workings. The last catastrophe

mine gas for the 19 days to between
