ATHENA NEWS NOTES
DEER OF EXCEPTIONAL
SIZE FALLS BEFORE HUNTER
H. Il. Boyd Has 'Man and the Bear"
EXpcricncc-New Member Of tho
School Board Elcctcd--Commcrcl
Club Elects Officers.
Especial Correspondenee.


Athena, Ore, Nov. 5.--The largest
deer ever seen by the citizens Of
Athena was brought to town by the
hunting party that has just returned
from three weeks stay at the head
of Grand Ronde river The party
consisting Of Messrs Boyd Worthing-
ton and stone brought back several
deer, but all the interest seemed to
center around the large one Killed
by Mr.. John Stone. 1t was put on
exhibition at the meat market and for
several hours the market was crowd
ed with spectators. After being
brought from the mountains and
dressed it weighed 2GO pounds and
many OF the earlier settlers here who
have hunted deer for many years say
1t is the largest they have ever seen.
The deer was very fat and the friends
of the hunting party were the re-
cipients of venison.
A most interesting time was eX-
perienced by Mr.. H. b. Boyd when he
was encountered by a huge bear far
back in the mountains. The bear was
member OF the party and made
straight for Boyd, who uncertain as
to the Intentions of the bear looked
In the other direction and followed
his look But as soon as he perceiv-
ed that he and the bear were going
in opposite directions he turned and
gave chase and with well directed
shot from his rifle left hat full of
hair and hide on the ground, but the
bear continued his flight down the
canyon leaving a streak of blood
behind him. The party followed for
a distance through the underbrush,
but failed to find him again.
Mr. Jerry stole, member of, the
school board, has moved from the
Athena district, which necessitated
the election of another member

school building and was presided over

Barrett. Two names were presented
to fill the vacancy b. b Richards
and Henry Keen. The ballot result
ed IN the election OF Mr.. Richards.
At the meeting of the Commercial
club tonight the regular election and
installation Of officers will take

Der of names were suggested for the
different offices so there would be
ample time in which to decide upon
the best men. The regular business

result was compound fracture. A

MASSACRE A
FAKE TALE
Tenderfoot, Scared Out Of
His Wits, Creates
Larid Tale.

Ell Paso, July IL. A tender
foot" frightened almost into in
sanity by lurid tales of the blood
thirst of Indians and Mexican
bandits and a sudden midnight
fake attack on the camp, was
responsible yesterday for the
spreading broadcast Of a tale of
wholesale murder of horsemen
near Alton. N. NJ, by a band of
Indians, or Mexican bandits.
The "tenderfoot's" yarn was in
vestigated by officers who had
hurried to the scene of reported
slaughter and found it to be moth
ing but a hoax.
According to the story told by
E. w. Scott, who had just joined
party driving horses overland,
the camp was attacked yesterday
evening by the outlaws and every
man except himself killed. Scott
said he feigned death until the
outlaws had departed then he
ran a mile and half in his stock
ing feet to Alton 10 spread the
lurid news of the massacre.
1t developed that the horse
men played upon Scott's ignor-
ance of the horsemen and his
ways and put in all day Sunday
relating tales Of theft and murd-
er by Indians and Mexicans.
When Scott retired he was badly
scared. After everyone had re-
tired, firing and shouting sud-
denly started from several points
around the camp and Scott half
clad made record time to Alton
with his tale of murder.

TANG.
/ IBLE SHAPE
Work TO Soon Start on Luna
County's Handsome
Court House.

Nothing could be going along
smoother than are the plans for
the early construction Of Luna
county's new court house in
Deming. and unstinted praise is
certainly due the present board
of county commissioners, who
are live wires and no mistake.
At their recent meeting they
authorized q $25. 900 bond issue.
After the sale of the bonds,
which will be advertised for 20
days, bringing the sale up to
August l6, bids for letting the
contract for the court house will
be advertised for. BY this it is
seen that actual work on the
court house is but a short way
off.

men in this section. was found dead at
an early hour this morning on the back
steps Of his home near the depot, with
a bullet wound through his head from
the right temple to the left, and his
own pistol, q 3S-calibre. was lying on
the steps by his side.
The body was FIRST discovered by a
negro man, Bob Gray, who was pass
ing the house, and, knowing that Mr..
Heard had been sick for some time,
saw him on the steps and went to him.
Death had evidently occurred several
hours earlier. as the body was rigid.
Willis Heard was serving his third
term as Chief OF Police OF Dadeville.
and was regarded as the strongest can
didate in the race for sheriff OF this
county next year. He is survived by
his wife and three small children. be-
sides his aged father and mother and
one brother.
He was member of the Knights of
Pythias, and the funeral services will

Philadelphia. Pa. June 1.-THE
strike has been settled. The men viii
receive 20 cents an hour beginning to-
morrow morning and ten hours Will
constitute o days work"
This statement from C. o. Pratt,
chairman or the Executive Committee
Of the Amalgamation of street Rail-
way Employees. the leader OF the strik-
ing motormen and conductors, fol-
lowed BY the deportation OF the $50
strfke-brealers who came here from
New York, ends the strike of the en-
pioyes OF the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit Company.
The strike began one week ago to-
morrow morning and about the same
hour the men QUIT their positions on
May 20, they will take them up tomor-
row.
The men agreed 70 accept 20 cents
an hour instead OF rs. which they had
demanded originally. The old swing
system has been abolished; ten hours
will constitute days work; all en-
pioyes will be permitted to purchase
their uniforms In the open market; all
future differences are to be adjusted
between the company and a grievance
committee chosen by the employees. II,
after an Investigation by the City Con-
troIier Of the booial OF the company
II can be shown that more than %
cents an hour cas- be paid without
crippling the finances of the Rapid
Transit Company, then the men will
insist upon further advance in wages.
There were several fncipient riots
in the northeastern section Of the city
early In the evening. but the crowds
which conRregated were driven to shell
ter by a steady rain, without having
indicted much damage. Several strike
breakers were forced to abandon their
cars and run the gauntlet Of strike
sympathizers, lodging bricks, clubs,
umbrellas and other weapons of Of
Tense.
A sub-committee Of employees which
was chosen by the committee Of nine
teen-;D one from each barnr-met toni9ht
ana rattfied the agreement with the
Gonna ~. The elevated men, many Of
whom deserted their cars yesterday. It
IA stipulated ia the agreement are also
to receive an increase Of 1-cent an
hour.
The employees Of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company late tonight
voted to accept the proposition made by
the company which had been submitted
to them earlier in the evening.
Fourteen barns voted to accept the
terms offered by the company, and
four against, with one to be heard
from. The total vote is $3.50 for to
81 against.
The present strike has been the most
complete tle-up ever experienced by
local trolley companies, and the temper
Of the people was more violent than
in the strike of 1895.
