ASSAULTED ON TRAIN
B. G. Wood Severely Beaten by
Andrew Trent in Presence of
Wife.

B. @. Wood, former proprietor of
the Dallas Hotel, was unexpectedly
assaulted and severely beaten by
Andrew Trent while going from Dal-
las to Portland with his wife Monday
afternoon. Mr.. Trent, it seems, had
cherished revengeful thoughts against
Mr.. Wood, because the latter had
elected him from the hotel dining room
several weeks ago for creating an un-
necessary disturbance.
When Mr.. Wood started for Port
land, Monday morning, Trent boarded
the same train. Wood changed his
mind about going, and when the train
reached the water tank, got off and
returned to town to transact some busi-
ness. Trent stopped at Lafayette and
waited for the afternoon train. When
it arrived he boarded it, and stepping
up behind Mr. Wood, who was sitting
beside his wife, dealt him a heavy
blow on the head with beer bottle.
Stunned by the force of the blow,
Wood was unable to defend himself
and was struck again on the jaw.
Before Trent could strike again, Con-
ductor Crocker sprang upon him ard
after a short struggle disarmed him.
at Dayton, Trent was put off
the train.
Although severely cut and bruised,
Mr.. Wood was not dangerously in
jured. 1t is.probable that he will ask
for warrant for the arrest OF his
assailant. Trent has been a resident
of Dallas several years and until
recently was employed as janitor at
the courthouse.

HOP MEN WILL ORGANIZE
Growers Called to Meet in Dallas,
Saturday. December IA, at
P. M

Discouraged by the low price of
hops, the growers Of the Dallas district
will meet in this city on Saturday,
December IA, at p. M, to discuss
existing conditions. 1t is probable
that an organization of the growers
will be effected at that time, and a
large attendance is desired. s. H.
Petre, of Bridgeport, has been the
moving spirit in bringing about this
organization, and the following call
issued to the growers will fully explain
its object:
Brother Hop Growers: Why can't
we get the cost of production out of
our hops? The buyers say there are
too many hops produced, but I have
not found any one yet that can give
the exact figures of production. If we
are producing too many hops,we want
to know it, and if not, we want to
know it, How can we find out? By
organizing. Why can't we establish
hopgrowers' association and find out
the exact production Of the Pacific
coast, and if we have too many, take
some steps to remedy the situation?
1t can be done very easily by each hop
growing precinct calling meeting
of the growers and finding the pro-
duction Of his precinct. Let every
precinct elect representative and call
a meeting Of the representatives as a
whole at Portland. Salem or some
other place for the purpose of thor
ough organization"

Copyrighted, 1906. By Alfred C. Clark
Mr.. Brown. a farmer living in
}oone county, Mo-, decided to buy a
pring wagon. The next time he was
town he went to the local dealer
see what he had in stock. One
wagon that suited him was offered to
i'm at s75 He thought he would
axe it, but before ordering he looked

Iere be saw described wagon which.
IS far as description went, was the

ion was written in such a convinc-

II the mail order vehicle were brought
out SO thoroughly that It appeared to
be superior to the other one. And the
price was only $e745. Mr. Brown
thought Of the saving OF s755 which
represented several days of hard work.
The more he thought about It the
more he wanted to save that amount
and In the end the Chicago mail or

When the wagon finally arrived.
with a freight bill Of $3.50. he rode to
town with his son and spent half a
day putting Il together. He had to
buy screw driver and some oil and
sand paper and a few bolts to replace
some that had been lost in shipment.
