Shaniko, Or, July 23.-The heaviest
and most destructive hail storm that
ever visited this section occurred in
the Bakeoven country ten miles nor,g
west Of Shaniko, Saturday afternoon.
Details have Just been received here.
The loss OF grain easily amounts to
$4,000. Some of the smaller farmers
lost all their grain, while the loss on
the Imperial stock ranch Of r, r. Hin
ton amounted to $4,000. VIII. Moody is
loser to the amount Of $4,000. The
crops were ready to harvest and ma
chimes were in the fields to commence
Monday morning. One man took grain
sacks from the warehouse Saturday
and returned them this morning, say
ing he was cleaned out. Several OF
the grain growers are turning hogs ON
their fields.
Hundreds Of rabbits and chickens
were killed by the hail, which ranged
in size from two inches in diameter to
that OF pigeon eggs. The greatest
damage was done an area OF three
by two miles and did not extend into
Sherman county so far as known.

stances teams and autos were left by
the roadside until help could reach
them. One farmer reported that his
net earnings for Sunday amounted to
S45 as the result of hauling machines
and wagons out of big mudhole near
his place, caused by the downpour Of
Saturday night The hail stones were
so large and fell with such force that
the grain was not only beaten to the
ground but the heads snapped off.
Most of the insured grain is total
less, owing to the fact that the poll
cles do not cover hail storms, farmers
in this section of the country scarcely
ever being troubled with such storms
during harvest season. Telephone and
electric wires are down and much
damage is reported from all over the
country in this connection.

Baker, Or, July 2S.-Thousands Of
dollars damage was done yesterday by |
the largest and most peculiar hail
storm in this part of the country in
years. Some Of the stones were seven
eiehths of an inch in diameter.
With hardly any warning the hail
beat down with such fury for seven
minutes at 1880 in the morning that
pedestrians could not venture on the
street, horses whipped by stones ran
away, and one ice wagon team tore
down Second street, scattering ice for
blocks.
The hallstonos were so thick that
they stopped up the sewer gratings
and would not melt fast enough so
that the streets were small rivers.
A heavy lightning and rain storm
followed, but did not wash away the
hail, which banked on the sidewalks
and made the city look as If a snow
storm had ragged. Merchants cleaned
their sidewalks with shovels and
small banks Of hail remained all af-
ternoon without melting,
The greatest damage was done in
the country, the storm going north
east, although gardens and orchards
in the city we're badly cut. In Mis-
souri, Flat much grain was hewn ia
the groud. The hail remained on
the ground there, and 1t is feared froze
many of the gardens. All buds were
cut off so that future berries and
fruits were damaged in that way.
A path was cut for several miles
between North Pine and Homestead as
II an army he'd tramped through IT,
Four fine horses Of W. Mitchell neal
| Homestead were killed by lightning.

Before the week is at an end the
people of Salem will have an oppor-
tunity Of seeing the beautiful Waite
fountain in operation, for 1t will be
completed by Thursday, and last night
the city council made an appropria-
tion for the employment of an opera
tor, and authorized the park commit
tee to employ one.
Charles L. McNary, attorney for the
Waite estate, from the funds of
which the fountain was erected, APP
peared before the council and ad-
vised 1t that the fountain would be
completed and ready for operation by
Thursday. As 1t was more or less in
tricate in its mechanical construc-
tlon, 1t would be necessary for some
one to learn to operate IT, he said, as
the representative of the company
from which 1t was purchased will de-
part from the city Saturday. After
consideration of the subject, the coun-
Gil appropriated $25 a month to Sc
cure an operator, The park commit
tee declared prior to that It would be
able to secure an operator from the
Portland Railway Light & Power
company for that sum.
The fountain is capable Of showing
six cOlors, and It is the intention Of
the committee to have the operator
show them all each night during the
remainder Of the summer season.

Jim SCaIli0nS Is Shot to Death by
Hodges. Details Are Meagre.

Last Saturday night, somewhere near
midnight, John Scallions was killed near
Cascilla, supposedly by one Mr.. Hodges.
Meager details were received here Sun
day morning about the affair and the
first reports were that the killing grew
out of a crap game where the hip
pocket pistol was on hand. From later
reports it is gathered that while a crap
game might have been on, yet the trou-
Bile originated about an alleged insult
that Scallions gave some lady in the
community. 1t seems that Scallions
had on more than one occasion grossly
insulted some lady in that community
and that about two years ago he was
sentenced to the county farm for un
becoming conduct. He would no doub
have been killed long ago, if reports
are to be credited, had he not been I
very ignorant man and due allowance
was made for his mental infirmities.
Hodges sought an officer prompt!
and placed himself in custody. Th'
Sentinel has not yet heard the result o,
the committing trial, if it has beel
held. Both parties were residents o
Tallahatchie county and the killing oc
Cured about two miles north of tn
