A ASORROWFUL DEATH
Will Defreece Succumbs to Scarlet
Fever and Diphtheria After
Short Illness.

Perhaps one of the saddest deaths
that ever occurred in Athena occurred
yesterday morning at 9;30, when Will
Defreece, only son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Defreece passed away.
The young man finished work at
the Preston Parton Mill Saturday eve-
ming in apparently good health. re.
marking to friend later in the eve-
ming, that he was more tired than be
had ever been before in his life.
Sunday morning he complained of
his throat being sore. Shortly after
noon he took to his bed and in the
evening Or. Sharp was called. The
boy grew rapidly worse and soon de-
veloped malignant complication of
scarlet fever and diphtheria. DIR. Pla-
mondon was called in consultation
with DR.. Sharp and everything possi-
BILE was done but despite all efforts
death ended the struggle. Funeral
services, conducted at the grave by
Rev. Geiszler. took place at II O'Clock
today.
William Arthur Defreece was born
in Umatilla county, August 81. 1887
and died March IL, 1909, aged 2S
years, six months and one day. He il
survived by his father, mother, three
sisters and one half sister.

HEN FOSTERS FAMILY OF PIGS
Forsakes Feathered Brood for Little
Squealers.

This story comes from Dayton,
Wash: A hen--just a common brown
hen-batched and reared OH the ranch
of Joe Thorn living ten miles east of
Dayton, has developed maternal char
acteristics of nature. entirely Unusual
among poultry.
This hen has abandoned brood Of
likely little chicks for brood of Pol
and China pigs. With cluck as gen
tie as that with which she formerly
ruled the fancies of her feathered Off
spring, the hen calls the half dozen
pigs around her. She is indefatigable
in her efforts to make ber foster family
happy and the pigs have taken kindly
to their new mamma. From morning
until night they follow her contented-
ly ahont the barDyard. gulping with
wholesouled satisfaction the tempting
morsels upturDed by the sharp toes
of the little brown hen. Unable to
, hover the pigs at night, the fowl
squats among them and croons ber
goodnight LULLABY.
Mr.. Thorn has watched the growing
affections of the strange family witt
much interest aud he believes the hen
and swine will continue to show the
same affection. in which case the fam
ily will form part of the Columbit
county exhibit at the A.-Y..P. ex
position.

L|ONSAT7ACKMEN AND HORSES
Boldness of Tukan0n Animals Attribut-
ed to Scarcity of Game.

A dispatch from Dayton says, wild
cats and mountain lions are more
numerous and more ferocious in the
blue mountains this spring than ever
before. Several range horses and
cattle have been killed and In one or
two instances eats have attacked per-
sons. Ben Magill returned yesterday
from trip on the Tukanon and re-
ported the killing of a valuable saddle
horse belonging to R. W. Magill. The
lion had sprung from a tree under
which the horse had sought shelter
from snow storm.
Only few weeks ago Frank Lot
zen, Tukanon farmer was attacked
by a cat at the entrance to his cabin,
and saved his life only by beating OIL
the animal with an ak. Several times
recently cats have been found prowl'
ing about barnyards and along the
roads in the less frequented mountain
districts.
Hunters and trappers attribute the
boldness of the animals to the scarcity
of small game and the protracted win
ter, with an unusual depth of snow.

DAYTON FARMER SUICIDES
Failing Health Said to Have Been Cause
For Rash Act.

Suicide ended the life of Perry
Bickelhaupt, prominent young Whet-
stone hollow farmer, Saturday night,
says Datyon news item. Returning
home with her two children Sunday
evening from a visit with ner parents
at Waitsburg, Mrs. Biokelhaupt found
the tody of her husband lying Oh the
floor in bedroom. A ragged bullet
hole beneath the right ear told the
story of the mans tragic ending.
Coroner John Hunting visited the
scene and after investigating the cir
cumstances. he said there was no
doubt that it was self murder. Beside
the dead man was found gan. as il it
had fallen from his hand after the
fatal shot was fired. The fact that the
stock was locked in the barn and that
the COWS had not been MIXED Sunday
was taken as an Indication that Bick-
elhaupt killed himself Saturday,night.
The family had been away since
Wednesday. Failing health is sald to
have been the cause for the young
farmers rash act. Mr.. Bickelhaupt
was about 30 years of age, and was
among the most prosperous farmers il
the county. His finances are said tC
be in good condition.
